Green Arrow Vol. 3: Against the Wall TPB review by Raphael Borg

ReviewsApril 21, 20250Comments

Green Arrow Vol. 3: Against the Wall Paperback by Joshua Williamson (Author), Amancay Nahuelpan (Illustrator) I was happy to know that I was wrong that Joshua Williamson's run on Green Arrow had ended. I was even happier to know that, although this storyline - essentially a tie in to the Event "Absolute Power" was surprisingly good. While it did not…

Green Lantern 1: Back in Action review by Raphael Borg

ReviewsDecember 19, 20240Comments

Green Lantern 1: Back in Action Paperback – June 4, 2024 by Jeremy Adams (Author), Xermanico (Illustrator), Scott Godlewski (Illustrator) I love it when DC reminds us why we love their characters. While treading familiar territory that hasn't been trod by Hal Jordan ever since the run post DC Rebirth, Back in Action takes Hal Jordan back to the ground he started…

The Flash 1: Strange Attractor review by Raphael Borg

ReviewsDecember 19, 20240Comments

The Flash 1: Strange Attractor Paperback – by Simon Spurrier (Author), Jarrett Williams (Author), Alex Paknadel (Author), A. L. Kaplan (Author), Jr. Deodato, Mike (Illustrator) What an opening...and something I did NOT expect. It is indeed a rare thing that when a writer takes over from another that they follow through on the direction the previous was heading. It is even rarer when this is done…

Green Arrow, Vol. 2: Family First tpb review by Raphael Borg

ReviewsDecember 19, 20240Comments

Green Arrow, Vol. 2: Family First Joshua Williamson, Sean Itaakse (Artist), Phil Hester (Penciler), Eric Gapstur (Inker), Carmine Di Giandomenico (Artist), Trevor Hairsine (Artist), Tom Derenick (Artist), Romulo Fajardo Jr. (Colorist), Troy Peteri (Letterer) Joshua Williamson's stint on Green Arrow closes off with, sadly, more of the same. While Williamson - this time accompanied by Green Arrow mainstay Phil Hester - deliberately intends to put the street-level arrow family in the…

The Flash Vol 20: Time Heist review by Raphael Borg

ReviewsAugust 26, 20240Comments

The Flash 20: Time Heist Paperback by Jeremy Adams (Author), Oclair Albert (Illustrator), Serg Acuna (Illustrator), Tom Derenick (Illustrator), Will Robson (Illustrator) As Jeremy Adams' run on the Flash ends, I am reminded of what annoys me about mainstream comics; while it has its benefits, a writer's vision on a character is suddenly either…

Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths Hardcover review by Raphael Borg

ReviewsJune 17, 20240Comments

Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths Hardcover by Joshua Williamson (Author), Daniel Sampere (Illustrator), Jim Cheung (Illustrator), Jack Herbert (Illustrator), Giuseppe Camuncoli (Illustrator) DC is well known for drastically shaking it's continuity in order to make a statement, and all in grand, spectacular narratives drawn by the likes of the late George Perez and his ilk. This, to some extent, is different yet similar. …

Aquaman Andromeda (DC BLACK LABEL) Hardcover – review by Raphael Borg

ReviewsDecember 11, 20230Comments

Aquaman: Andromeda Hardcover by Ram V. (Author), Christian Ward (Illustrator) DC black label does it again! Diving into the murky bosom of the ocean depths, this time we find an Aquaman story...without Aquaman. Yeah, it does come across as strange at first; but there is a very specific reason why. Without spoiling the story, while at first…

ReviewsJuly 26, 20230Comments

The Flash 18: The Search for Barry Allen TPB by Jeremy Adams (Author), Fernando Pasarin (Illustrator), Will Conrad (Illustrator), Amancay Nahuelpan (Illustrator), Serg Acuna (Illustrator) Jeremy Adams' run on the Flash continues! While it retains the momentum of really being in touch with the very dynamic corner of the world of Central and Keystone City…

ReviewsJuly 4, 20230Comments

by Kenny Porter (Author), Ricardo Lopez Ortiz (Illustrator), Juan Ferreyra (Illustrator), Jason Howard (Illustrator), Jr. Fajardo, Romulo (Contributor) The inevitable movie tie-in to the The Flash has landed and, while the writing by Kenny Porter is very faithful to synthesising who the character is both on page and screen, the comic in its entirety is…

The Flash Vol. 17: Eclipsed TPB review by Raphael Borg

ReviewsMarch 27, 20230Comments

The Flash Vol. 17: Eclipsed TPB by Jeremy Adams (Author), Fernando Pasarin (Illustrator) Jeremy Adams' run on the Flash continues with his second volume "Eclipsed"! With Adams' long-term plan still in it's nascent tones, it does, however, have a firm hold on what makes Wally West's previous tenure as the Scarlet Speedster during Mark Waid's run…

Wonder Woman: War of the Gods TPB review by Raphael Borg

ReviewsMarch 15, 20230Comments

Wonder Woman: War of the Gods TPB by George Perez George Perez's run on Wonder Woman reaches its climax in his "War of the Gods", an event that is partly as gimmicky as one would expect with comic events - with an adversary conveniently selected to a specific hero that is conveniently tied to their…
