We start off September for a look back at this past August in Shonen Jump, […]

“Countdown” #12-1

By | Sep 2, 2019 | Reviews

I’m going to be up front with you: yes, I did #12-1 in one go to get it over with. Ripping the bandage off, as it were. Can you blame me? Of course, that means more work for me, as 12 issues is quite a bit to recap as things are finally happening at a […]

Countdown to Final Crisis #19 Cover Reviews
“Countdown” #19-13

By | Aug 26, 2019 | Reviews

Hoo boy, where to start with this week’s batch of “Countdown” issues. These are some of the most plot-dense yet, to the point of feeling overstuffed. On the one hand, that’s a welcome change from the vast majority of the previous 32 issues of the series, which mostly felt like they were spinning plates. On […]

“Countdown” #25-20

By | Aug 19, 2019 | Reviews

Let’s start with the good: this week’s cluster of issues is interesting in that it has some of the more consistent art in the series yet, due in part to the presence of multiple guest artists. Issue #25 is by industry veteran Ron Lim, and he turns in probably the best art of the series […]

Countdown #26 Cover Reviews
“Countdown” #32-26

By | Aug 12, 2019 | Reviews

Here we are, halfway through the mess that is “Countdown.” The turning point, you might call it. Don’t believe me? Ask the cover to issue #26: But we’ll get there in a moment. First things first, the “highlight” of this batch of issues, in terms of actually advancing the plot rather than quality, is the […]

“Countdown” #38-33

By | Aug 5, 2019 | Reviews

Another week, another chunk of “Countdown” issues to suffer through. It feels unfair to be saying too much about the art, as we’re clearly at the point where the book’s strict weekly schedule is beginning to take its toll. Some artists like Jesus Saiz and David Lopez are dealing with it alright, though certainly not […]

“Countdown” #45-39

By | Jul 29, 2019 | Reviews

Well, it didn’t take too long for “Countdown” to get bad. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m trying to avoid an issue-by-issue breakdown of the series, because I don’t want “He wrote a million words about Countdown” on my tombstone, but issue #44 of “Countdown” deserves a special mention. It certainly isn’t the first bad issue […]

Countdown #51 Cover Reviews
“Countdown” #51-46

By | Jul 22, 2019 | Reviews

The first few issues of “Countdown” were… underwhelming. However, I mean that in a slightly positive way, considering the less-than-stellar reputation the series has. In fact, there are some somewhat decent ideas here, the first of which has to do with the rebirth of the multiverse in “52” and Superboy Prime changing reality via his […]
