After a surprisingly pleasant side step last week, ‘Earth 2: World’s End’ returns to form with scatter shot story and a ten member art team. It’s quite the loss as last issue was a much better paced and tightly focused read and now once again the audience is subjected to a confused mess of a plot with changing art every two to four pages.
‘Earth 2: World’s End’ #9 Written by Daniel H. Wilson, Marguerite Bennett, & Mike Johnson Arty by Scott McDaniel, Tyler Kirkham & John Livesay, Stephen Segovia & Jason Paz, Robson Rocha & Guillermo Ortego, Eduardo Pansica & Walden Wong Published by DC Comics It’s time to do the regular ‘Earth 2: World’s End’ analysis again …
The end of Earth 2 draws ever closer. The planet is under attack by the female furies of Apokolips, the Superman and Batman families search the fire pits for Huntress who has been taken by Desaad, Alan Scott has a mournful reunion with his newly raised boyfriend, Dr. Fate acts and speaks cryptically, and the World Army plans to take on Apokolips.
Created as the flagship title of the New 52 and the opening arc for this new era of comics, Justice League “Origin” is a cringe-worthy retelling of the League’s beginnings. Despite having the talented Geoff Johns handling story and drawn by Jim Lee, Justice League “Origin” is a boring and underwhelming tale.
The world ending of World’s End continues on its way. Again, there’s a big old box of art teams, all spread thinly across this book. Having issues with the pencil and inks is a bit moot at this point, but it bear repeating. With DC publishing two other weekly titles with rotating artists who handle one issue a moth, it’s honestly inexcusable that they let this happen with such weak art.

The LEGO Movie Written and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller USA, 2014 The opening moments of Pixar’s last great film to date, Toy Story 3, depict an intentionally, increasingly goofy and outlandish fantasy scenario in which all of the toys in Andy’s bedroom play a part. There are the heroic Sheriff Woody and …

In a controversial move, DC decided to forego publishing its regular line of books and put out 52 one-shot stories featuring some of its best villains. The one-shots range from extremely popular (Joker, Lex Luthor, Brainiac) to the newer and more obscure (Relic, Shadow Thief). They feature some veteran creators and some who have barely …
With Scott Snyder’s highly anticipated Batman: Zero Year just around the corner and Man of Steel hitting the box-office this month, I felt that it was a perfect time to delve into some of the best re-vamped origin stories in comic books. While many may fall flat (looking at you Marvel: Season Ones) some have …

Marvel Films are sitting pretty at the moment. Their co-productions, dating back from 1998 with Blade to The Amazing Spiderman, the current reincarnation of the web-slinging hero, have dominated box-offices worldwide and reintroduced comic book superheroes to a new generation. In June 2012, Warner Bros. announced their intention to release a film based on DC Comics’ premier superhero …
This has been the summer of the superheroes. With Thor, X-Men: First Class, Green Lantern, and Captain America: The First Avenger all coming out within the past few months, they’ve certainly shown that they’re a force to be reckoned with. Or are they? Though most of these releases haven’t fared badly (let’s not speak of …
Green Lantern Directed by Martin Campbell Written by Greg Berlanti, Michael Green, Marc Guggenheim and Michael Goldberg USA, 2011 Fatigue.

Regardless, and …
Warner Bros. has released a ton of images from their upcoming DC Comics film Green Lantern. Not all are new, but they are all taken after the studio refined the visual-effects.

With all the comic book adaptations coming out this year, one has to wonder which films stand a chance at actually cashing in at the box office. Thor opened big with over 60 million on opening weekend, but with Captain America, X-Men First Class, Green Lantern and Cowboys and Aliens all released within a span …
The big-budget (usually summer) blockbuster is the financial cornerstone of the American motion picture industry, and has been for much of the last 35 years or so. In all its forms – action/adventure, suspense, Western, war story, horror, science fiction, fantasy, et al – the big budget thriller’s earning power is unmatched by any other …
Last night during 30 Rock and American Idol Warner Bros. premiered a new TV spot for Green Lantern, running at a minute and thirty seconds. The spot shows some new footage, although brief, but the movie still looks extremely promising. People laughed at me when I said it might be the best comic book adaptation …
