Justice League #2 Review
This month sees the Justice League really start to take shape. Don't get me wrong, the group are still arguing and Wonder Woman is yet to be seen, but we do see an element of teamwork that was practically unseen in the last issue.This issue picks up where the last left off with Batman and Green Lantern vs. an angry Superman only this issue The Flash comes into the mix to make things a bit more chaotic.
The Darkseid plot begins to thicken too, and we get our first look at Cyborg's Dad who's a big shot at S.T.A.R.S Labs where things start kicking off by the end of the issue, but I won't spoil it for you.
The writing continues to be quite strong along with some impressive art which I like a lot that makes the story feel more like a blockbuster movie.
In the end though with more character's, a more substantial story and an exciting ending, Justice League #2 beats the first issue hands down and is a great read.
9.3/10
Batgirl #2 Review
Batgirl #2 picks up where the last issue left off, and while it's not quite as good as the first issue, it's still a great read. We get more of an insight into the past of the main villain "Mirror" although I am still a little confused as to what his Mirror can do, but I'm sure that will be explained in greater detail soon.
The art is great, detailed stuff and the writing still manages to keep Batgirl a three-dimensional character with an interesting personality.
The ending to this issue is the icing on the cake, (no spoilers, don't worry!), but it is a great cliffhanger and I'm looking forward to next issue to find out what happens.
8.5/10
The Flash #2 Review
The Flash #2 is a book with great art. I said it last month and I'll say it again - the art really suits the character well and has a great style. The story on the other hand is beginning to get a bit confusing. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the story and the climax of this issue was a great cliffhanger which hooked me in for next month's book - it's just that the story is still largely unexplained and seems to go off on a tangent this month as The Flash works on improving his abilities.
This is done really well though, and the art really triumph's with some great scenes and clever writing. It focuses on The Flash trying to improve his speed, by using another part of his brain that was previously un-used. I'll leave it at that, because it's something you have to read yourself rather than get told about.
All you really need to know is that it makes this book an exciting, entertaining read which shouldn't be missed. I just hope that more is revealed about the story next issue.
8.5/10
Batwoman #2 Review
I wasn't a huge fan of the first issue of Batwoman, but I'm glad I stuck with it as this issue is miles better than the first. As the mysteriously sinister Cameron Chase, (who only had a couple of lines in #1), comes to Gotham the hunt for Batwoman begins. Not to mention more murdered children at the hands of the strange weeping woman - who also becomes easier to get excited about than she was last issue.
The art in this book is something I can't make my mind up on, sometimes it looks great, other times not so much - but all in all it's pretty good.
Batwoman #2 is a lot better than #1, but it's still not perfect. The story is easier to understand now, but still a bit confusing and the art is a little bit odd-looking at times. But generally, it's a great book with a story with a lot of potential - I'll be back next month!
8.0/10
Aquaman #2 Review
After such a strong entry into the New 52 with #1 of this series, I couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed with this second entry. There's more action, and the art remains great - but it's the story that seems a but weak. Fish people from the bottom of the sea, come to the surface and eat a few people - that's practically it. But, to be fair the action is good, and there's a strong chance we'll find out more about who exactly these fish people are next month, so I'll keep an open-mind.
Aquaman isn't a bad book, I think I just made the mistake of thinking it would be as good as #1, and it just wasn't - but it's not bad and still worth your time.
7.5/10
Batman #2 Review
Batman #2 is in a similar situation as Daredevil. None of it is bad, but none of it is that great either. The story I found to be a bit dull, with the cliffhanger of #1 turning out to be nothing, and the current story being something that I just can't get interested in. I know I can't speak for everyone, and if your loving the current story then you might as well give this one a go. But I just can't get on board with it, and #2 is definitely not as good as the first.
I'm also not a fan of the art which looks a little too square-jawed, although saying that, it's not terrible.
I guess I just expected more from such a big-time DC character.
I wouldn't recommend Batman to anyone except long-term fans.
6.2/10
Batwing #2 Review
I wasn't a huge fan of #1 of Batwing, but I decided to give it another chance. Wrong decision. Batwing #2 is just tedious to read. It's boring, with the majority of the issue seeing Batwing in bed recovering from the stab he received last issue. Plus, the writing just seems a bit wooden. None of the characters have much of a personality, Batwing included. This issue I realised that I like the concept and appearance of the character more than the character himself. This could be because the one good thing about this book is the art. It's very detailed, and very life-like - so there's something.
But no, I won't be going back to Batwing - I gave it a chance and it failed again. And to think, I ditched Catwoman for this rubbish! *Sad Face*
3.5/10
The Flash #1 Review
The Flash is a book blessed by a great art style that suits the character perfectly. It has good writing, and a plot that looks to be a very interesting story, even if it verges on nonsensical right now. I recommend The Flash and hope to continue with it next month.9/10
Batwing #1 Review
Batwing is a decent book that suffers from occasionally bad writing, and a lack of recognition. But these could just be growing pains. Batwing only came into exsistence recently and it has to be hard to build a new character from the ground up. On the plus side the art is great, and the story looks to be quite good - it's worth a chance as this one has potential.7/10
Batwoman #1 Review
Batwoman is a promising book with good art, but unfortunately the story is a little too supernatural at times, and there's one important page that is difficult to understand which is annoying as it is most probably quite significant. Apart from this though, the story has a lot of potential, and I'm tempted to go back to this book next month.7/10
Green Arrow #1 Review
Green Arrow is a good book with a story that looks okay, but its art style makes it difficult to take seriously. This is a shame as the writing is really good. The art isn't exactly bad but it just isn't as good as the likes of Justice League and Aquaman. It doesn't stop this book from being good, but it taints the experience. I'm interested to see where the story goes, but I'm not sure whether it'll make the cut next month.7/10
Catwoman #1 Review
Catwoman has potential to be great, but there seems to be an absence of a strong story in this first issue. There is some good action, and there are parts that hint at an interesting story, but they don't show much in this issue. This is worth a go, but I'm not sure if it's one I can continue with.6/10
Supergirl #1 Review
Supergirl is very disappointing. It's great for those who are unfamiliar with DC as it starts at the very beginning of Supergirl's life on Earth. The majority of this issue is Supergirl fighting with a bunch of robots for not much of a reason. This could have been explained a bit better. Also, while the art is okay, the environments are...well, there's not many - especially during the fight scenes. The writing is okay, but not great and it makes Supergirl an overall boring experience.4/10
OMAC #1 Review
OMAC is just stupid. First you're at Cadmus Industries offices, then OMAC appears with no explanation why he's there, what he's looking for or anything. Maybe this is part of OMAC's character, but for a new DC reader this was terrible. The art is ok, but the writing is poor and so is the story - a complete and utter mess.2/10
Aquaman #1 Review
Aquaman #1 is awesome. It's gives you action from the start, makes some pretty funny references to some misconceptions about Aquaman that made him the joke of the superhero world, and also it sets up a quite a creepy enemy for next issue. I can't recommend Aquaman enough...10/10
Justice League #1 Review
Justice League #1 is great for anyone first dipping their toe into the DC pool - and is also great for those who have always read DC! The art is great, the writing's good and while there may not be too much in the way of story - remember that this issue and probably the next couple are more about the Justice League forming than anything else. A great read nonetheless.9/10
Batgirl #1 Review
