Page by page, panel by panel annotations of DC Comics' summer events and crossovers
It’s the satellite era League trying to hold its own against the Hulk on a rampage, with the heavy hitters or Superman and Wonder Woman nowhere to be seen! Something tells me Red Tornado’s going to end up in pieces again . . .
Spider-Woman’s finally managed to get out of Hyrkania . . . but the post-apocalyptic world she’s landed in doesn’t look any friendlier!
Just over six years (I keep missing the birthday of this site which was the start of September!) and I’ve reached one thousand posts.
Thanks to all the regular readers and the new ones, those that leave comments and likes on the blog posts, and those who enjoy/help out with the annotation side of things.
And if you’ve not commented before, don’t be shy – feel free to say hello.
It’s an action packed issue of WORLDS’ FINEST this month that takes the highlight spot – hardly surprising as it’s the issue where Power Girl finally shrugs off the hideous New 52 costume and returns to the classic look, even including the boob window. Well, technically, it’s not this issue – this same month, Power Girl made an appearance in SUPERGIRL #19 and it’s there, not even in the pages of her own (shared) title, that she returns to the classic look. The events of that issue and the new costume aren’t even mentioned in this issue.
Elsewhere it was the end of Geoff Johns’s run on GREEN LANTERN which had its share of ups and downs but delivered some massive events in its time; FIRESTORM limps to an end; EARTH 2 explores the new Dr Fate while in the EARTH 2 ANNUAL, we get a better look at the new Batman which is a Thomas Wayne that, from memory, owes some small debt to the FLASHPOINT version in terms of character and appearance; and JUSTICE LEAGUE is building up to the forthcoming Trinity War and the awful FOREVER EVIL that follows that.
Outside of DC, it was a single issue of Garth Ennis’s FURY MAX and that was it.
