Devil Comics Review | Dark Nights [2017] Metal

Writer Scott Snyder and artist Greg Capullo bring their Batman run to a peak building upon their previous run on the series. Mysterious metals were hinted throughout the series and now the source seems to have come from the Dark Multiverse. Snyder has told us that Metal is the opposite of Rebirth, which was built on the Legacy of characters. Metal is the introduction of something new and mysterious that has always been lurking throughout the DC Universe. 

Metal begins when Challengers Mountain pops up in Gotham City and the Justice League investigate and discover there is a full scale invasion from the Dark Multiverse. Batman decides to use baby Darkseid to stop the invasion however he was lured into a trap to open a portal to the Dark Multiverse by the Court of Owls. Now the Dark Knights lead by Barbatos are unleashed on Earth and Batman is lost in the Dark Multiverse. 

Superman is taken to the Oblivion Bar where he meets the Justice League members, Detective Chimp, Mr. Terrific, and Deathstroke. They divide themselves into four teams to stop the Batmen and Barbatos using Nth Metal. Wonder Woman, Doctor Fate and Kendra travel to the Rock of Eternity to search for Hawkman's mace. Aquaman and Deathstroke travel to Atlantis to find hidden Nth Metal while Green Lantern, Mr. Terrific, and Plastic Man seek Nth Metal on Thanagar Prime. Superman uses the Anti-Monitor antenna to travel through the Phantom Zone to get to the Dark Multiverse. However Superman discovers it was a trapped and Barbatos needed his body to replace Batman so he can power the battery to complete the circuit so more nightmares can enter Earth. 

At the Rock of Eternity the Wonder Woman team faces the avatars of the seven deadly sins. On Thanagar Prime, Green Lantern team deals with the new ruler of Thanagar, Onimar Synn and Starro the Conqueror. Superman and Batman is rescued by Daniel who explains Barbatos wants the Multiverse to sink into darkness. They travel to the Forge of Worlds where they meet the Dragon of Barbatos, Hawkman. Back at the Rock of Eternity, Kendra becomes Lady Blackhawk as Black Adam arrives and reveals he and Vandal Savage made a deal with Barbatos. The finale of Metal leads to more stories including the upcoming NO JUSTICE mini-series leading to the new Justice League series. Overall the story had a great start but falls flat as the excitement is carried over with other upcoming issues.

Devil Comics Review | DC Universe: Rebirth #1 [2016]

Hype Following 2011’s New 52, DC Comics revitalizes the comic industry with Rebirth and bring legacy back to their characters. The one-shot promises a death of a character and the return of three characters to the DC Universe. DC is celebrating the event by releasing a limited edition midnight cover on the day of its release. The book is 80 pages and for only $2.99 and the final page promises to be explosive. 

Rehash The DC Universe Rebirth special is a continuation from the events of the Darkseid War and the Final Days of Superman story arcs which their finales were both released on the same day. During the Darkseid War, three versions of the Joker were revealed as well as Wonder Woman having a twin brotherwhile the Final Days of Superman saw the death of the New 52 Superman. The issue begins with the return of the Pre-Flashpoint Wally West attempting to reach out to Batman who has forgotten him in the first chapter Lost

The second chapter Legacy explores the Justice Society of America, Legion of Super-Heroes, the Microverse and the death of Pandora who brought the New 52 together. She was heavily marketed and her appearance was in every New 52 first issue in 2011. Her death will bring cheers for DC fans.

The third chapter Love features the aftermath of the Final Days of Superman where heroes like Green Arrow, Superman, and Aquaman are reconnecting their past loves including Wally West and Linda Park.

The fourth chapter Life sees Wally West and the New 52 version who are revealed to be cousins. Wally meets the New 52 Flash to say goodbye and to let him know someone has infected history to make people forget. Barry remembers Wally and brings him back while remembering the past. The finale reveals they are being watched and they are the ones who are behind the missing heroes, history, and legacies: Alan Moore’s Watchmen.

Feedback Writer Geoff Johns begins the story by relating to the readers on what it is like to have read the New 52 for the past five years where forgotten heroes, legacies, and history which created a foundation of great stories were all erased. It was been revealed the stories within the Rebirth titles will build to an event in August 2018. DC fans would return to the company after reading this issue. It brings an optimistic and hopeful DC Universe back as well as preparing them for the incorporation of the Watchmen universe in 2018.

Devil Comics Review | Superman [2016] The Final Days of Superman

Hype Following the year-long Truth storyline, Superman is back in his suit and discovers he needs to recruit superheroes to save the world in his absence. Writer Peter Tomasi begins an 8-part storyline which leads into Rebirth.

Rehash The issue begins with Superman finding out he is dying after the events of the Darkseid War, Savage Dawn, and JLA. However Superman continues to save lives as he grows sicker. He meets his childhood sweetheart Lana Lang and Lois Lane to reveal his final days as Superman. 

Superman asks Batman to find Supergirl who is in National City attempting to reboot her powers with the help of Cameron Chase and the DEO. Superman reveals to both of them that he is dying and these will be his final days. Superman and Batman deal with Chinese Zodiac Dragons and someone claiming to be Clark Kent causes havoc at the Daily Planet. Later Superman hands Supergirl the keys to the Fortress of Solitude as Wonder Woman arrives.

Both Superman and Wonder Woman head to ARGUS where they find a fake Superman powered by his solar flare he used on Ulysses. Superman speaks with Ulysses as the fake Superman breaks out causing power failures which Ulysses uses to break free. Steve Trevor restores power but the fake Superman escapes. Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman track him to China where they face the Great Ten. After their battle, they are taken to Doctor Omen who made a Super-Man of her own. Meanwhile the Solar Superman visits Lois Lane and the New 52 Superman meets the Pre-Flashpoint Superman. We discover the Solar Superman is a prisoner named Denny Swan. The New 52 Superman sacrifices himself to save his friends paving the way for the Post-Crisis Superman to assume the role. 

Feedback The title is called the Final Days of Superman which seems to mirror Alan Moore’s Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow. We know the Pre-Flashpoint Superman will be the prime Superman after Rebirth however what we do not know is the final fate of the New 52 Superman. He may die at the end of Super League, DC Universe: Rebirth, or he may lose his powers completely and remain as a powerless Clark Kent. Writer Peter Tomasi is taking over Superman and it seems since the New 52 began that the franchise is in good hands. He took what has happened to the New 52 Superman and brought all those stories forward to create a compelling character within him.

This book is no different with the beautiful art and story.

Devil Comics Review | Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice [2016]

Following the Man of Steel, the world witnesses the battle between Superman and Zod causing massive destruction to Metropolis as well as the oceans due to the World Engine. Dawn of Justice brings together both Batman and Wonder Woman as well as other heroes to the DC cinematic universe. The movie is expected to carry an Anti-Superman theme following the events of Man of Steel. Superman will find himself at odds with other superheroes including Aquaman due to the destruction of sea life in the oceans caused by the World Engine. In Man of Steel, Clark saves workers from a burning oil rig which sends him into the ocean unconscious. Currently it is rumored that Clark is saved by an off-screen Aquaman. 

During 2014’s San Diego Comic Con, Zack Snyder introduced the first picture of Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman and a teaser between the battle of an armored Batman and an angry Superman. Rumor has it that Wonder Woman and her Amazons are really descendants of ancient Kryptonians. Instead of a complicated introduction of Amazons and their race, Warner Brothers decided to keep the plot similar to move the story forward. Bruce Wayne is expected to be older 50-something with white streaks in his hair and has suffered a loss of a Robin sidekick as well as Commissioner Gordon. Meanwhile Lex Luthor has the body of General Zod which he will use a tissue sample of to create the monster Doomsday.

Review | Superman - Wonder Woman: Dark Truth [2015] Peter J. Tomasi

Superman/Wonder Woman #21 continues the Truth stories with Lana Lang and Steel missing in Smallville. Both Superman and Wonder Woman attempt to find them however someone has taken the Kent home, barn, and the buried bodies. As they attempt to process what happened, the Suicide Squad arrives. The second issue of Dark Truth sees both Superman and Wonder Woman take on the Suicide Squad. Following the battle Superman forces his way into the White House to meet with the President of the United States. The last two issues have been short on plot and the mysteries of the disappearance of the Kent farm house and graves are barely touched. 

After arriving at the White House, Superman is greeted by Steve Trevor of ARGUS and later by President Obama in Superman/Wonder Woman #20. It is revealed that the US Government kidnapped Superman’s friends and coworkers to search for answers. The Parasite attacks however he was deployed prematurely by the Chief of Staff. Trevor gives the location of Superman’s friends while Wonder Woman rescues Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, Lana Lang, Steel, Cat Grant, and Lois Lane from captivity and interrogates them regarding Clark Kent’s secret identity. Each reveal their intentions leaving Lois Lane to reveal hers.

Superman/Wonder Woman #21 Wonder Woman interrogates Lois as Superman arrives to free the Smallville residents. Now Superman trusts neither Wonder Woman nor Lois as Mr. Bend is fired by POTUS who later meets with Wrath from Action Comics and Vandal Savage from Batman/Superman. The events of Superman from the sister titles are slowly coming together as the puzzle and the bigger picture of where the Superman titles are heading is leading to the 50th issues of the New 52. 

Superman/Wonder Woman #22 Superman attempts to travel into the sun to regain his powers however Wonder Woman stops him. Later Superman and Wonder Woman interrupts a transport ship to Belle Reve and breaks the Parasite out to gain information.

Superman/Wonder Woman #23 Wonder Woman and Superman use the Parasite to track down an energy source. Vandal Savage’s son is planning on killing his father with Firestorm and all the criminals from Steel’s facility but first he plans on using them on Superman and Wonder Woman. During the battle Wonder Woman is captured and used against Superman.

Superman/Wonder Woman #24 Vandal Savage’s son uses a suit to harvest the powers of Firestorm and Wonder Woman to defeat his father. Superman gets the upper hand and defeats him with the Parasite. Vandal Savage’s son is imprisoned and he is later killed by his father and the Parasite is taken back to Bell Reve Prison. Overall the story arc is a waste as it was just a standalone story which will not have any long term effects between the  Superman and Vandal Savage conflict.

Review | Batman: Dark Knight III: The Master Race [2016] Frank Miller

The Master Race starts with the return of Batman as Commissioner Yindel tracks him down. Yindel replaced Commissioner Gordon during the original Dark Knight Returns. Now she and the GCPD are tracking down the Batman until they corner him. They beat him senseless until Yindel removes his mask only to find Carrie Kelly has assumed the role of Batman and reveals Bruce Wayne is dead.

We also see Lara the daughter of Superman and Wonder Woman visit the Fortress of Solitude to visit her father who is imprisoned in ice. She discovers the city of Kandor is calling out for help. Later in the mini comic Lara brings the city to Atom claiming the citizens of Kandor want to return to their original size. We also discover Lara has a brother named Jonathan who is named after the adopted father of Clark Kent.

Overall the story is intriguing and the Master Race could be the Kryptonians from Kandor. Superman will return within the series to aid Batman with the Master Race whoever they may turn out to be. The only complaint is that the Dark Knight: Master Race comes in two forms the first includes a mini comic costing $48 USD for the entire series. The other is an oversized edition retailing $104 USD for the entire set. The best form would be the trade retailing at $30 USD which is cheaper and practical than the individual and oversized issues but you will have to wait until September of 2016.

DC Comics Convergence [2015] by Jeff King | Carlo Pagulayan | Stephen Segovia

Convergence is a two-month epic consisting of nine issues while the regular DC titles are placed on hiatus. The series spins out of New 52: Futures End and Earth 2: World’s End. The villains are Brainiac who has been collecting multiverses and a new one named Telos which will be introduced within the series.

Convergence #0 begins with Superman meeting multiple Brainiacs who reveal the Master has not returned from Earth 0. Unknown to them the Master Brainiac was defeated in Futures End. We learn Brainiac has been defeated by Superman throughout the multiverse however dies by other means. The events of Superman: Doomed where Superman was infected by the Doomsday virus was orchestrated by Brainiac after witnessing the Death of Superman in another universe. The cities of dead worlds are here from throughout the Multiverse. Now Telos releases the domes that separate each world so the characters will fight to survive. The surviving heroes of Earth 2 after World’s End will arrive in the first issue of Convergence. Overall this is a great issue if you have been following the events of Superman: Doomed, Earth 2 World’s End and New 52 Futures End.

Convergence #1 begins as solicited a few months ago with the Earth 2 heroes arriving and Telos releases the domes of the different worlds from across the DC Multiverse to fight for their survival. The book and the ties-ins are more nostalgia than anything more by bringing back characters and events from the 70s, 80’s, and 90s together. Too many characters with very little story and the book reminds me of Countdown: Arena in 2007 which has a similar premise.

Convergence #2 begins as the heroes of Earth 2 free themselves and fight back against Telos. Green Lantern Alan Scott discovers Telos is afraid of something beneath the planet. Meanwhile Thomas Wayne and Richard Grayson head towards another Gotham where they meet Bruce Wayne. The Bat symbol on Bruce Wayne changes form panel-to-panel which makes it annoying as it shows the artists rushed through this weekly series. The finale sees the heroes meet Deimos who claims he can get them off the planet. 

Convergence #3 Telos heads to the City of Kandor the first city Brainiac took. It’s residents along with Nightwing and Firebird oppose Telos which leads them to their fates. Thomas Wayne and Richard Grayson take on the Pre-Flashpoint Batman villains but Wayne sacrifices himself as the Joker arrives and shoots Grayson. Telos arrives in time and kills the Joker and asks Grayson where are the Earth 2 heroes. Meanwhile Deimos takes the Earth 2 heroes below the planet into another displaced reality Skartaris.

Convergence #4 The Earth 2 heroes travel through Skartaris to get to the castle where the Warlord has imprisoned the Time Masters consisting on Monarch, Extant, Hourmen, as well as the Time Trapper. Deimos is a high priest who wanted Skartaris for years and takes the power of the Time Masters. Deimos tells Brainiac he can free from his imprisonment from the events in New 52 Futures End.

Convergence #5 Demios uses the powers of the Time Masters to reveal to Telos who he is. Brainiac used Telos in exchange for saving his family. The Earth 2 heroes attack Demios however the castle collapses so they travel to gather the rest of the heroes from the other cities as Richard Grayson accepts his destiny as Batman. Demios arrives at Brainiac’s occupation chamber and announces to the heroes of the cities that there is no longer as reason to fight since Brainiac is banished and he will protect them for a price. 

Convergence #6 begins in the New 52 Universe as a arrival of a new planet draws the attention of Superman, the Red Lanterns, Darkseid, the Monitor as well as the Oracle. Deimos wants loyalty otherwise he will destroy cities within the hour. The heroes of the various cities unite against Deimos. Grayson speaks to Telos who recently found out the truth about himself and asks him to join the heroes to save the world from Deimos. As the heroes gather, Deimos has gathered his own army of villains to kill them all.

Convergence #7 in the New 52 the Justice League and Stormwatch gather with Oracle as war erupts on the world of Telos. Deimos and Telos battle each other as both the heroes and villains discovers Deimos wants all of them to die so he can use their energies to recreate the world. Hal Jordan as Parallax finally destroys Deimos however the power of the Time Masters are released into the New 52 Universe and reality is coming apart. 

Convergence #8 as reality comes apart Booster Gold and Wave Rider arrives and releases Brainiac who gives us his origin. He is a survivor of the multiverse from Crisis to Infinite Earths, Infinite Crisis, 52, and Flashpoint. Brainiac plans on sending everyone home and resetting the multiverse however something is blocking him, the first Crisis. Brainiac send Superman with Lois and their daughter, Parallax, Flash, and Supergirl to prevent the collapse of the multiverse. The multiverse is saved and Brainiac returns to Earth-0 as the heroes of Earth 2 remain on the world of Telos as it is being destroyed. However with Brainiac and Telos gone their ties to the world is severed. The world of Telos becomes the new Earth 2 and it returns back to its universe. Green Lantern uses his ring to signal the refugees back to the new Earth 2.

World's Finest: The Secret History of Superman & Batman [2014-2015] by Paul Levitz

World’s Finest #27 shows Jor-El responsible for the destruction of Krypton and Apokolips offers a chance to save Krypton in exchange for Kal-El. However Jor-El and sends Kal-El, Kara, Val-Zod, and another to Earth before the destruction of Krypton. Frankie Falcone wants to kidnap Alan Scott at the hospital Thomas Wayne works at however he refuses him. We discover what happens to the Amazons as they sought refuge from Earth 2. The God Mercury arrives and takes Diana away to protect and defend a young Clark Kent from a New God and Bruce Wayne from Frankie Falcone's men. World’s Finest #29 continues the secret history of Superman and Batman on Earth 2. Batman deals with Selina Kyle while Superman crash lands on Paradise Island facing Wonder Woman. Both Superman and Batman deal with a probe from Apokolips as well as the ally of Darkseid who terrorized Superman in the previous issue. There are three issues left before the end of the series and it seems the artist has given up. 

World’s Finest #30 begins as the mother and daughter team of Catwoman and Robin stop a human trafficking ring however they fell into a trap. Batman arrives and rescues them however the ring leaders self-destruct. Superman is kidnapped by a New God and Batman saves him and sends her back into the Boom Tube. Elsewhere Terry Sloan has another Kryptonian in his possession Val-Zod. 

E32: Green Lantern: New Guardians #37 | Justice League #37 | Wonder Woman #37 Reviews [Devil Comics Entertainment]

Green Lantern: New Guardians #37 opens with Metron giving Kyle and Carol a Motherbox to get off of Old Genesis. They reunite with John Stewart and Saint Walker on New Genesis. Together they battle Highfather to obtain the White Lantern Ring which no longer works. Now Highfather disposes them using the Life Equation. Each issue of GodHead has been a slow pace of putting all the pieces together as it leads to the final issue where all will be revealed. 

Justice League #37 continues with Batman and Superman tracking down Patient Zero of the Amazo Virus. They are quickly joined by Wonder Woman who helps take Patient Zero down so Batman can get a sample of his blood. However he is knocked out by Patient Zero and Batman becomes exposed to the Amazo Virus. Meanwhile Lex Luthor is targeted by another assassin: Bullet. 

Wonder Woman #37 begins with the Amazons being attacked by mechanical eagles as Wonder Woman is reminded of her neglected duties to the Amazons. Meanwhile Donna Troy enters into the New 52 Universe. Writer Meredith Finch ignores the event of last issue including the catastrophic event in Thailand and the destroyed clay statue of Wonder Woman’s mother. It leads to more questions as the issues progresses and ignores the events of the previous issue. It’s difficult to keep up with the story when it is so fragmented. Imagine reading various social media sites just to get one story. That’s what reading Wonder Woman was like by writer Meredith Finch. If this was the 90s then the great art could have saved the bad writing.

E19: Green Lantern: New Guardians #36 GodHead | Justice League #36 | Wonder Woman #36 Reviews [Devil Comics Entertainment]

Green Lantern: New Guardians #36 begins as Highfather takes both Kyle and Carol to New Genesis where he separates the White Lantern ring from Kyle. Highfather plans on using the Life Equation to defeat Darkseid and remake the universe. Carol attacks using all of her power within her ring. Both Kyle and Carol are dumped on Old Genesis without the use of their rings. Meanwhile Highfather tests his Life Equation to make citizens on another planet into warriors.

In Justice League #36 the Amazo Virus is released and Metropolis is evacuated. Both Batman and Superman stop and contain the remaining citizens of Metropolis who has developed powers due to the Amazo Virus. Lex Luthor created the virus from the Amazo android who can mimic Metahuman powers. The virus was released due to someone targeting Luthor and that person still wants him dead. Luthor can cure the virus however he needs Patient Zero who runs into Batman and Superman. The key highlight of this issue is Wonder Woman who seems to be looking similar to her counterpart in the upcoming movie Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice.

Wonder Woman #36 is the first issue by the David Finch and his wife Meredith. A catastrophic environmental event occurs in Thailand without any explanation. Swamp Thing is in Thailand and Wonder Woman attacks him fearing he is responsible. Wonder Woman returns to Paradise Island where she is Queen of the Amazons only to find the clay statue of her mother destroyed. This issue catches up on readers from the past 35 issues however it’s a quick read. The art is fantastic however the plotting is awful as nothing has happened warranting to buy the next issue.
