Honestly, I wasn’t too fond of this week’s comic book releases. Also, my weekend was a drunken haze and I don’t have time to review anything else, so I’m going for what I consider this week’s best comic: Flash Rebirth #5.

Who else agrees with me that the first three issues of Flash Rebirth was a mess? Barry was whining like crazy (I seriously wonder why Hal didn’t knock some sense into Barry), speedsters were dying in an attempt to create tension, and the death of Barry’s mom was shoehorned into the storyline while it made no sense at all.

This issue finally comes along and explans why Barry’s angsting all this time, and why his mom’s dead when it was established in previous continuity that his parents were alive to see Wally take up the mantle. Yeah the Reverse Flash was responsible for every bad shit that happened in Barry’s life. Heck, he even broke Barry’s arm in 6th grade. I mean, wtf, you have the power to go back in time and you push a kid down a flight of stairs? That motherfucker. (continue reading…)

Well my good friend David and co-writer here on Comicgasm claims that I, as a Green Lantern fanatic and Geoff Johns’ worshipper am “in denial.”

But NOTHING is FURTHER from the truth! I’m sorry David, but if you think your arguments about Green Lantern Corps #42 are well placed, you are CLEARLY and UTTERLY WRONG!

Well I’m sure you readers are wondering what we argued about, and seriously I can’t believe David for his beliefs regarding this image on the issue:

You see, he wouldn’t BELIEVE me that the Green Lantern Kyle Rayner isn’t REALLY dead. As we know, DC has always had a thing for putting plot twists and Geoff Johns does that a lot. So why didn’t Hal Jordan continue on wearing the blue ring ei? That’s coz he’s trying to give us stuff WE WON’T EXPECT.

The reason why I’m making this post is because hilariously enough, nobody supports me on this! Everyone thinks I’M IN DENIAL and that Kyle is really dead and I need therapy. I even quit my job the day after this comic was released. (which of course, had NOTHING to do with this issue – coz again he isn’t really dead)

Nuff said! Now READERS, we all KNOW that he isn’t really dead right? right? RIGHT.

David you are WRONG! WRONG I TELL YOU! Umm can we stop talking about this? dagnabet! WBGKUE WIULEFN!

Starting issue 38, a new Justice League of America will be formed. The team will be formed of Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Green Arrow, the Atom, Batman, Mon-El, Donna Troy, Cyborg, Doctor Light, Starfire, Congorilla, and the Guardian.

Okay, what? This is probably the least iconic JLA I’ve ever seen. I totally loved the JLA lineup during the Morrison era, and understandably they had to give that lineup a rest. I also liked the Meltzer lineup as well, although I’m disappointed they disbanded that group way before they could be given great stories. (continue reading…)

Oh lookee. The Comicgasm monkeys have been all busy getting drunk and we’ve totally forgotten this little blog of ours. Oh well. Time to make the reviews then.

Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #2

I’ve mostly avoided the Ultimate Universe, but after Loeb did his best to destroy said universe, I thought, well, it can only get better after this. (continue reading…)

Hello there people! I’m here to deliver more comic book reviews despite a bad bout of writer’s block and an all-encompassing feeling of an upcoming existential angst. Okay. So I just finished a rant here on Comicgasm and it’s not even my blog! Meh. Introductory paragraph finished awkwardly, let’s get to the reviews.

Flash: Rebirth #4

Holy shit, that was some ride. After lounging in boring-land for the first three issues, finally Flash: Rebirth gets into full gear. (continue reading…)
