IGN Comics: My Review for the Final Issue of Geoff Johns' Green Lantern Run!

Reviewing comics is never work to me, but I was beyond enthused and even a little bit honored to review the final issue of Geoff Johns' Green Lantern series. Green Lantern has been the most integral part of my time as a comics reader right up there with Archie and Y: The Last Man. It is of course sad to see it go, but when an ending is this good, it's hard to complain.


"Geoff Johns ends his Green Lantern masterpiece with a resounding blockbuster bookend. Just wow! After nine years and over one hundred issues, he took a cheesy character whose weakness was the color yellow and turned him into one of the most consistently thrilling, compelling, and outright enjoyable heroes in comics. He did this by bringing the key element of the emotional spectrum into the fold. The rings now take something special to wield them – rage, avarice, fear, will, hope, compassion, love – and over the course of this series, Johns gave us plenty of reasons to feel those same emotions right along with the characters on the page. This final issue will take you on a tour of the entire emotional spectrum, and that’s exactly the point of the journey of Hal Jordan."

NYCC 2011 Recap: A Great Deal of Fun and Entertainment

NYCC 2011 Recap: A Great Deal of Fun and Entertainment

This weekend’s New York Comic Con was a blaze of announcements, celebrities, and video games. In terms of booths, there was not much difference compared to July’s San Diego Comic Con, so it fell on each exhibitor to make up for it with new content, and I am happy to report most of them succeeded. Hear about the rest of my trip at Broken Frontier!

Review: Stormwatch #2

Stormwatch #2

Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about! The first issue may have stumbled out of the gate, but this one leaps ahead of the pack. The moon is attacking Earth, which is a big enough ordeal, but what makes this issue so great is how the characters are always at each other’s throats. Seeing the team going through its initial growing pains is as chaotic and awkward as it is awesome. Read the rest at Broken Frontier!
