'Green Lantern' #22 review • AIPT

3 weeks ago | aiptcomics.com | Christopher Franey

Artist Xermanico makes his welcome return to Green Lantern this month, and it’s like he never left. But he isn’t the only familiar face coming back — writer Jeremy Adams throws a curveball by resurrecting a Golden Age hero with a whole new power set from another DC Legacy, adding a fun wrinkle to the modern All-In. Oh, and Hector Hammond? He’s letting his psychic freak flag fly, reminding us exactly why Hal Jordan’s rogues gallery deserves a little more credit.
‘Batman/Superman: World’s Finest’ #38 review

1 month ago | aiptcomics.com | Christopher Franey

The modern retro vibe of Batman/Superman: World’s Finest continues with the “We Are Yesterday” arc, and it is also the first crossover of DC’s “All In” initiative. Mark Waid, the series’ consistent voice, proves again that he knows how to make these icons feel alive both in and out of costume. Even if this issue isn’t quite as thrilling as I hoped, it still delivers on character and charm.
‘Daredevil’ #20 review

1 month ago | aiptcomics.com | Christopher Franey

Saladin Ahmed’s run on Daredevil hits a new stride in issue #20, launching a fresh story arc that leans into horror and personal torment. The issue opens not with a punch but with a nightmare that leads us into the self-inflicted torment Matt Murdock has put upon himself. The opening is a great way to show what has come from the previous arc and sets the tone for Ahmed’s handling of Murdock. We are also seeing a new art style in the series, with José Luis Soares joining the team.
‘Green Lantern Corps’ #3 review

1 month ago | aiptcomics.com | Christopher Franey

Buckle up, because Green Lantern Corps #3 throws you right into the thick of things as writers Jeremy Adams and Morgan Hampton and artist Fernando Pasarin dive deeper into the complexities of the emotional Spectrum. Things escalate quickly as we deal with the fallout from the makeshift Red Lantern Corps, now scavenging what’s left of Thanagar.
‘Justice League: The Atom Project’ #4 review

1 month ago | aiptcomics.com | Christopher Franey

Some secrets are out, and Justice League: The Atom Project #4 delivers a smackdown showdown. Writers Ryan Parrott and John Ridley pull back the curtain on the Atom Project, revealing the potential disaster it could become. While we are processing that revelation, General Eiling sends Major Force to stir up even more chaos. The art team of artist Mike Perkins and colorist Adriano Lucas perfectly captures the intensity of the quantum battle between arch rivals.
‘Two-Face’ #5 review

1 month ago | aiptcomics.com | Christopher Franey

The latest issue of Two-Face takes a detour from exploring the team-up between “Bad Harvey” and his mother to delve into another branch of this chaotic family tree. Christian Ward and Fabio Veras are preparing to wrap up this story arc, but before they do, they’ll introduce a new character to the Two-Face world: Die. Her name plays nicely on the word’s dual meaning, tied to both death and chance.
‘Daredevil’ #19 review

1 month ago | aiptcomics.com | Christopher Franey

The current Daredevil series began with an arc called “Introductory Rites”, written by Saladin Ahmed, with art by Aaron Kuder and colors by Jesus Aburtov. The first issue was released on September 13, 2023. What’s particularly impressive about this arc is that it spans 20 issues — a considerable length for any comic book story, especially for a new creative team.

‘Batman and Robin: Year One’ #6 review

1 month ago | aiptcomics.com | Christopher Franey

We are halfway through the Batman and Robin: Year One maxi-series, and sure enough, Mark Waid and Chris Samnee found a very enticing way to kick off the story’s second half. The General has Robin and is using him for bait against Batman, but can Batman control his rage enough to salvage this situation? Is Dick Grayson ready to be Robin? Especially when he proved he can not make it alone without being trapped?
