DC This Week Roundup - Brains vs. Brawn

1 week ago | geekdad.com | Ray Goldfield

Harley Quinn #51 – Elliott Kalan, Writer; Mirka Andolfo, Artist; Triona Farrell, ColoristRay – 8.5/10Ray: Harley Quinn has been ambushed by femme fatale gunslingers Gunbunny and Mayfly, but she’s in the middle of a much more pitched battle – with herself. Her brain has decided to take control of the situation, hijacking Harley’s body and trying to make more rational decisions – but that half of Harley isn’t exactly all there either.
Review - The Flash #21: Army of the Flash

1 week ago | geekdad.com | Ray Goldfield

The Flash #21 – Simon Spurrier, Writer; Vasco Georgiev, Artist; Matt Herms, ColoristRay: “Dark Moon Rising”, the current Flash crossover, definitely continues the strange and surreal tone of this series under Simon Spurrier – but it also escalates that to a cosmic level, with Eclipso having taken over the moon and launched a massive war on reality. The only thing standing in his way – the Flash, or rather all the Flashes.
Review - Metamorpho the Element Man #6: Into the Sun

1 week ago | geekdad.com | Ray Goldfield

Metamorpho the Element Man #6 – Al Ewing, Writer; Steve Lieber, Artist; Lee Loughridge, ColoristRay: Al Ewing has always been a writer who does larger-than-life adventures, but none of his books have ever been as gleefully bizarre as this gonzo sci-fi tribute to the Silver Age. This is unfortunately the final issue (for now), but he’s saved the craziest for last.
Review - Green Arrow #24: What Remains

1 week ago | geekdad.com | Ray Goldfield

Green Arrow #24 – Chris Condon, Writer; Montos, Artist; Adriano Lucas, ColoristRay: The Freshwater Killer was defeated last issue, which makes it surprising that there’s one issue to go – but then, the collective of sick, dying, and grieving people who made up the killers weren’t the actual villains of the arc. Horton Chemicals, the corporation that built homes on a toxic waste dump, is – and Green Arrow is determined they see justice as well.
Review - Justice League Unlimited #7: The Omega Gambit

1 week ago | geekdad.com | Ray Goldfield

Justice League Unlimited #7 – Mark Waid, Writer; Travis Moore, Artist; Tamra Bonvillain, ColoristRay: “We Are Yesterday” is reaching its final act, and it’s not looking good for the good guys. Inferno, better known as the Legion of Doom of yesterday, has invaded the present and used their time guns to scatter the Justice League across the timestream.
Review - Absolute Martian Manhunter #3: Into the Fire

1 week ago | geekdad.com | Ray Goldfield

Absolute Martian Manhunter #3 – Deniz Camp, Writer; Javier Rodriguez, ArtistRay: This is by far the most offbeat of the Absolute books so far, and also one of the most intriguing. There are no signs of connections to a larger DCU, and it’s street-level in a deeply surrealist way. We’re just alone with this strange, haunted detective and the Gumby-esque psychic imprint of a Green Martian who’s hitching a ride in his brain and giving him color-coded psychic powers.
Review - Green Lantern #23: Specters of the Past

1 week ago | geekdad.com | Ray Goldfield

Green Lantern #23 – Jeremy Adams, Writer; Xermanico, Artist; Romulo Fajardo Jr, ColoristRay: The Green Lantern Corps have been going around the universe, but now they’re in a completely new setting – Hell, where the worst creatures of the DCU dwell for all eternity. Hal is accompanied by Zauriel and Phantom Stranger for a mission relating to his old days as The Spectre, but he soon picks up another unexpected ally – G’nort, the iconic worst Green Lantern ever. What’s he doing in Hell?
Review - Absolute Wonder Woman #8: The Poisoned Tree

1 week ago | geekdad.com | Ray Goldfield

Absolute Wonder Woman #8 – Kelly Thompson, Writer; Hayden Sherman, Artist; Jordie Bellaire, ColoristRay: The previous arc by Mattia De Iiuls was a masterstroke, taking us to the underworld for a brilliant flashback tale explaining how Diana got to Man’s World. But now Hayden Sherman is back on art duties, and we’re back to the main story – and there is a lot to get into without delay.
Review - Superman #26: Superman Red

1 week ago | geekdad.com | Ray Goldfield

Superman #26 – Joshua Williamson, Writer; Eddy Barrows/Eber Ferreira, Sean Izaakse, Artists; Alejandro Sanchez, ColoristRay: After last issue’s brutal battle with the deranged clone X-El, the status quo Josh Williamson has built is in shambles. Lex Luthor is back in prison, blamed for the attack and covering for Mercy. His trust with Superman is shattered after he executed the evil clone. Mercy is free, but has lost her alliance with Superman and her control over Supercorp.
Review - Mr. Terrific: Year One #1 - From the Ashes

1 week ago | geekdad.com | Ray Goldfield

Mr. Terrific: Year One #1 – Al Letson, Writer; Valentine De Landro, Edwin Galmon, Artists; Marissa Louise, ColoristRay: Mr. Terrific has been at the core of much of what’s going on in the DCU, as the self-proclaimed third-smartest man in the world has been key to investigating the Omega energy spread around the world by Darkseid’s death and the anomalies it’s causing.
