Okay. Blackest Night. What a ride.

So I just finished reading Blackest Night 8, and what can I say? It’s fucking awesome. It has all these moments that both made me geekgasm and cringe. Dialogue is still typical Geoff Johns: cliche-riddled but somehow it works. But in the end it’s so fucking awesome I totally forgot about the book’s flaws and I just sat and took it all in.

Okay then. Now on to the SPOILER-FILLED PART OF THE REVIEW (don’t read any further if you haven’t read BN #8): (continue reading…)

Oh look, it’s me again, battling a fever so I can write up the blogosphere’s best (even though it’s a few days deleyed) comic book reviews!

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…)

Hey kiddies, this uber uber late entry is all about me whining about the DC teams.

Firstly, Teen Titans!

Nothing really new. Same teen angst, same teen drama. Wonder Girl is still emo, somehow keeping the team from killing themselves with their wacky shenanigans.
