Batman/Superman Vol. 1: Cross World by Greg Pak – Graphic Novel Review [Bane of Kings]

Batman-Superman-Vol-01

Milo, aka “Bane of Kings”, reviews the first Volume in the newly launched Batman/Superman title, featuring both characters from the New 52 and their first encounters with their Earth 2 counterparts. This book is published by DC Comics.

“A flawed book that can be cautiously recommended if you’re a fan of Jae Lee’s artwork – if not, this may be one to stay clear of – because Pak’s writing is not enough to salvage this book, which is a shame given the potential from the subject matter.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

Cyclops #1 – Friday Flash Review

Cyclops-01

Bane of Kings and Shadowhawk take a look at the first issue of a Cyclops-focused series.

“A strong first issue and has the potential to be the best X-Book on shelves.” ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

“An unfocused issue that doesn’t really give a sense for what this series is going to be all about.” ~Shadowhawk, The Founding Fields

Constantine_New_52

Getting his hands on another DC Comics trade paperback, Bellarius gives his thoughts on the revamped Constantine series by Jeff Lemire and Ray Fawkes.

Green Lantern Vol. 4: Dark Days by Robert Venditti – Graphic Novel Review [Bane of Kings]

Green-Lantern-Vol-04

Milo, aka “Bane of Kings”, covers the fourth Volume of the New 52 Green Lantern series, “Dark Days”, written by Robert Venditti and with pencils from Billy Tan, published by DC Comics. 

“A book that sadly is full of wasted potential despite Robert Venditti’s strengths as a writer in his other work - Dark Days is a collection to stay clear of unless you’re up to date with everything Green Lantern and even then it struggles as a successor to Johns’ work.  “ ~Bane of Kings, The Founding Fields

Hellboy In Hell: Vol. 1 The Descent by Mike Mignola and Dave Stewart – Comic Review [Bellarius]

Hellboy_In_Hell

Giving a brief look at another Dark Horse publication, Bellarius gives his thoughts on Mike Mignola’s return to Hellboy.

“An excellent journey giving a look into the more traditional forms of evil within Hellboy’s universe, but one lacking direction.” – Bellarius, The Founding Fields
