Comic Book Review: Booster Gold #8
We cut to Maxwell Lord’s office where Superman has a beaten Wildcat in his grip. Lord commands Superman to kill Wildcat. Superman stands there motionless and refuses to kill. Lord comments how he can control Superman to do anything except kill.
I continue to dig this collection of villains that Johns and Katz have assembled on this story arc. It is becoming obvious that Supernova is indeed the leader of this cabal of villains. That is an excellent twist. When these villains were first reve...

Justice League Cry for Justice #1 – A Review
Original at Comics And...Other Imaginary Tales
• Wed, Jul 1
By Jim(jlm1955@comcast.net) The actual crux of the story was interesting. Green Lantern feels the Justice League is too reactive and he wants to move the League forward into addressing the villains before they attack them. He gets pissed off and leaves the JLA and Ollie joins him. The bit about Ollie backing him was great...
SUPER ARTICULATE: What once was old is new again…

By The Rev. OJ Flow Though what’s downright puzzling is the inclusion of Batgirl Cassandra Cain. At what point has she EVER been in a Justice League story, much less illustrated by McGuinness? Why they went with her over — oh, I don’t know — Green Arrow Connor Hawke (still inexplicably untouched by DCD), Azte...

By noreply@blogger.com (SallyP) Green Arrow/Black Canary #21 was ok, I guess. I'm still not exactly sure why I'm still getting this. As Shelly said over at Shelly's Comic Book blog, she gets it for the characters, and I guess I'm in the same boat. I keep hoping that something will happen, but I'm about ready to cut this one loose.

By legacysword@gmail.com (Kevin) The opening to this episode with Batman and Green Arrow trying to one up each other while stopping Joker and then Catwoman was a lot of fun to watch and one of the best openings so far. I'm sure a lot of the older DC Comics fans will enjoy it as it is a nice callback to when Green Arrow would always ha...

In a word, Kevin Smith's take on Batman is annoying. Kevin's Batman is tired. Whiny. He's two steps behind second string villains such as Deadshot and the afore mentioned Cacophony (who is a virtual unknown to those who've yet to read Smith's run on Green Arrow like me).

By Shelly Now it can be argued that you can get so far from the original material that it's hardly worth referring to the original. Why use Green Arrow at all if he won't BE Green Arrow, that sort of thing. But if it's well done and there's a sense of who and what GA is, then I'm fine with it.
