This week sees the “concluding” chapter of grant morrison’s Final Crisis. Any predictions on what we’ll see, or not see? Will this ending turn out to be the beginning of the next big story arc? After all is said and done, will Final Crisis be looked at as a Triumph or an Utter Failure? cover via Comics Continuum
Better dead than Red With the introduction of the Blue Lanterns, and the quest to rescue Sinestro on the shoulders of Hal Jordan and his two blue brothers in arms, there was bound to be a moment when there would come a conflict of interest between all the parties involved. Green Lantern #37 sees the first major battle featuring the Lanterns of blue and the fall of yet another long time Green Lantern character.
Out with the old, in with the new Last issue ended with the reveal that two of Robin’s former foes were actually one playing both roles, and with Gotham City about to fall into chaos, what is a young side-kick to do? The answer, Dear Reader, is for him to grow a pair and step from behind the cape to become a hero in his own right.
Or – “Protagonist Doesn’t Always Mean Hero…” I’ve often suspected that if Gail Simone wrote a cookbook consisting of recipes for human flesh and stucco, I’d probably read it obsessively. Given an interesting cast of characters, a great artistic counterpoint in the form of Nicola Scott, as well as the presence of the DCU’s sarcastic master of the gun (imagine if Bullseye actually had a personality) and Secret Six is shaping up to be the best series in YEARS. Of course, last issue ended with the whole team ingesting a lethal dose of poison, so you might not want to…
New Krypton Part 11 I’ll admit I was a little surprised when the New Krypton story wrapped up in Action Comics #873. I figured this was a story that would go on for 12 issues minimum, and really needing 24 issues to tell the massive story DC set into play that turned into a surprise hit for the company. Even though the New Krypton banner may be gone from the covers, the New Krypton story continues as the story shifts from Earth to Kandor.
Between now and OSCAR time, Warner Bros. and IMAX are teaming to rerelease The Dark Knight movie in IMAX theaters around the world.  Take the jump to find out where the biggest grossing movie of 2008 will be showing, and if you have time, go see it again.
WTF? Seriously, WTF? I’ve let grant morrison run amok in the DC Universe for over a year now without condemning him as a mad man. I’ve questioned his methods, his writing, and his message, but never thought of calling the men in the white coats to haul him away for a serious examination of his head. After reading Superman Beyond 3D #2, I’m looking for a nut house that has an opening.

This excerpt from a 1970 edition of NBS Nightly News (anchored by NBS stalwart Ted Philips) features a special report from co-anchor Jim Sizemore looking back at ten years of Dr Manhattan. Gotta love viral marketing. I hope there is a lot more of this stuff coming our way between now and March 6.
Or – “BRAIN FIIIIGHT!!!” I Will Not Make A Kiss Me Joke. I Will – Wait, did I do that joke already?
The reveal’s been on the cover the entire time If you haven’t read Superman in a couple of years, now is the time to head back to your local comic shop and pick up all of the issues featuring the New Krypton storyline. It’s a compelling story that features Kryptonians, bad guys, good guys, political intrigue and a battle for the ages.   Action Comics #873 certainly lives up to its name by bringing the action as the New Krypton story wraps up.
What better way to show your support for DC and the upcoming Blackest Night storyline than by sporting a t-shirt of your favorite Lantern Corps. All the colors are there, except white. But then again, we wouldn’t want to spoil the ending of the series. via Graphitti Designs
