RETRO REVIEW: The New Adventures Of Superboy #25 (January 1982)

Or – “Part Of Me Wants To Call Him Tom Welling, For Old Times’ Sake…”

The DC Universe is full of characters who serve as the ‘Dark Mirror’ of their hero, from Bizarro to Professor Zoom to Sinestro himself.  Even Man-Bat serves as a kind of revers-o version of his primary character, which begs the question:  Does EVERYONE have a backward-self?  For at least one Justice Society stalwart, the answer is in these pages.  Your Major Spoilers (retro) review awaits!

TELEVISION: Wonder Woman to be called Iris

After the failure of the first Wonder Woman television pilot, one might think the network would go back into hiding. That’s not the case for The CW who is reported to be pushing forward with a new show called Amazon, about a warrior named Iris.

REVIEW: DC Universe Presents #14

Or – “What’s Black And Blue And Read All Over?”

It’s weird to think about the “old” DC Universe as a whole.  Both Blue Devil and Black Lightning seem to me like relatively new heroes (at least comparatively speaking) but both date back over a quarter-century.  Now, the sensational character finds of 1977 and 1984 have come together in the brave new world of the New 52, for all new adventures.  How do Black Lightning and Blue Devil fare?  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!

REVIEW: Justice League #14

This is the ultimate team-up comic. Five years ago, Superman, Wonder Woman, Batman, Green Lantern, Flash, Cyborg, and Aquaman formed the Justice League to stop Apokolips’s forces from invading Earth. Now, they are the premiere team against any threat too great for one hero to handle. However, with Green Lantern quiting the team and the other members in turmoil, can the Justice League stand together?

RETRO REVIEW: Avengers/JLA #4 (September 2003)

Or – “From The First Crossover, To The Last…  At Least For Now.”

Last week, I put on my Retro Goggles to look at a giant-sized blast from the past in Superman Vs. The Amazing Spider-Man.  That first in-universe co-production led to more crossovers, including a proposed Justice League/Avengers crossover which went into production in 1981.  Before the book could see print, though, relations between the Big Two went sour for more than two decades, but fans (and co-creator George Pérez) never lost faith, and eventually the tides of fortune shifted into favor for a new crossover.  But was it worth the wait?  Your Major Spoilers (Retro) Review awaits!

REVIEW: Team 7 #2

Or – “Steeling Myself For The Very Worst…”

Nearly 20 years after the fact, a portion of my comics-reading brain has yet to forgive certain creators and concepts for their roles during that Dork Age of comics.  The concept of Team 7 dates back to early Wildstorm books, and served as an attempt to tie several series together, but only really succeeded in showing how seven different heroes were basically all the same guy.  Will this iteration finally let the healing process begin?  Your Major Spoilers review awaits!
