FLASHPOINT REVIEW: I admit that I did not read FLASHPOINT until the event completed. My buddy dropped off all 61 crossover issues and I was so engrossed with them I read them all in around 3-4 days. Plotwise, FLASHPOINT is … Continue reading
DC’s New 52: Justice League #1 (2011) review: written by Geoff Johns and drawn by Jim Lee. FIVE YEARS AGO…superheroes were feared and considered criminals. Justice League #1 features Batman’s first meeting with Green Lantern, and a Cyborg subplot. Green … Continue reading
