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 Arrow 1: Reunion TPB review by Raphael Borg

ReviewsMay 2, 20240Comments

Green Arrow 1: Reunion TPB by Joshua Williamson (Author), Sean Izaakse (Illustrator), Phil Hester (Illustrator), Ande Parks (Illustrator), I think I might have become somewhat jaded. Green Arrow: Reunion by Joshua Williamson and Sean Ikaaze, while dynamically illustrated, somewhat suffers in the writing department. It seeks to be a time-travelling rescue mission within a rescue…

Rogues HC review by Raphael Borg

ReviewsMarch 15, 20230Comments

Rogues HC by Joshua Williamson (Author), Leomacs (Illustrator) I love this book. While the comics I am currently reading are a terrifyingly slow read, not only was this a breeze to read through, but one I truly enjoyed to read from start to finish. Anyone who knows me well knows that the Flash's rogues gallery (or…

The Flash: Year One TPB by Joshua Williamson (Author) and Howard Porter (Illustrations) Back when the Flash was repurposed for the space age in Barry Allen, heralding the silver age of comics in Showcase #4 in 1956, Carmine Infantino and Rob Kanigher set the titular Fastest Man Alive in an incredibly silly story (as…

The Flash Vol. 11: The Greatest Trick of All TPB by Joshua Williamson (Author), Scott Kollins (Illustrator) One of the best elements of Geoff Johns' run back in the 2000s were the single issue "Rogue Profiles" which took apart a member of the Flash's Rogues Gallery and recontextualised their origins to fit within the mythos of the…

The Flash Vol. 10: Force Quest TPB review by Raphael Borg

Comics, ReviewsJune 20, 20220Comments

The Flash Vol. 10: Force Quest TPB by Joshua Williamson (Author), Rafa Sandoval (Illustrator) Force Quest is the one volume of Williamson's run that although expands on the Flash mythos was shoehorned in to create more antagonists for the Flash; which is reasonable, I guess. The problem is that the concept of the four forces that aid the…

The Flash Vol. 8: Flash War TPB by Joshua Williamson (Author), Howard Porter (Illustrator), Scott Kolins (Illustrator) Geoff Johns understands the Flash; Joshua Williamson understands the people beneath the costume.
