review 1: Look, I'm a sucker for Green Lantern. Everyone knows it. So reviewing this is unfair and not unbiased. That said it's not exactly up to snuff. I like post-corps Hal, but I find the whole him and Carol will-he won't-he, golly gee I wish he'd just marry me! trotted out a little...

review 1: I can't believe this, but I actually really loved this book. I've been decidedly unimpressed with Geoff Johns' work on Justice League thus far, and that started the same with the opening Wonder Woman/Cheetah story in this book. Nothing special.But for whatever reason, I think Joh...

review 1: This is one of the several volumes of graphic novels which tell the "Blackest Night" story-line of Green Lantern. A lot of action and great art made it an enjoyable read, although it felt toward the beginning we were seeing some of the same stuff from another GN in this series, b...

review 1: There is nothing really wrong with this title. Geoff Johns' writing is up to his usual standard. The multiple pencilers is slightly off-putting but doesn't really take away from the overall experience. It merits just three stars because there isn't much of an actual story here...

review 1: Aquaman is cool again!!!Fantastic! When DC rebooted their universe I had a couple of heroes on my list that needed a reboot really badly and Aquaman was one of them. Not only a reboot, but a new beginning. Everyone's heard of all the jokes about Aquaman and to be fair a lot of i...

review 1: Not as good as the previous volume, this one explores a previously unknown period of Aquaman's history where he was a founding member of a B-list supergroup with illogical Atlantean artifacts. I find myself wondering if it's necessary. His ties to his arch-nemesis, Black Manta, a...

review 1: I'm a huge fan of the Green Lantern, so I'm picky about how the stories uphold the original intent of the hero: Mankind overcoming obstacles with willpower. It's this moral that has shapes my life sense a kid. Geoff Johns is probably one the greatest writers that DC comics has ev...

review 1: I like the idea, but why would all these superheros join this group? Why would Martian Manhunter work for the US government? Why is Catwoman? Reasons were given but I didn't buy them. Shoehorned in half of the Trinity War stuff, which would be very confusing if you didn't alr...

review 1: The throne of atlantis directly followed up volume two, replacing black manta with aquamans brother, ocean master. In this story (that ties into the justice league book) aquaman must stop an invasion of his people coming from the depths, lead by ocean master. The book has a lot o...

review 1: So this is the "New 52" DC Universe reboot of the Justice League. First of all, I don't think I've ever read a single Justice League comic (just watched the animated series now and then), so I have no baggage about whether this title is true to the old version, or a shocking betr...

review 1: I just feel kind of meh after reading this. It was pretty fun at times, but didn't leave a very lasting impression. The characters weren't very likable for the most part, even as children. I felt bad for how much I didn't like them, but Billy comes off as a tool, not a victim of ...

review 1: This one surprised me. I picked it up from the library thinking "we'll I'll give it a chance but I probably won't like it". We'll I was wrong. Thus one was self-aware and had fun with it. Drawing on the fact that everyone makes fun if Aquaman and nobody likes him as a superhe...

review 1: I enjoyed this one, it finally had what I have been wanting out of an Aquaman comic...watery fights, mysterious depths, fishy politics, and sexy/sassy fish ladies. Mera is awesome. The artwork was freaking phenomenal too! Quite a few pages that took me by surprise and left me ...

review 1: What a cool, fun, heartwarming book! I got it on a whim, and I was reluctant to read it because most "revamps" don't fly with me. Shazam! however, was a true doozy. Geoff Johns has proved to us time and again that he is one of the best writers out there today (Green Lantern, Blac...

review 1: Although Blackest Night was purely just all out action, I simply loved it. It was a fun ride of non stop undead goodness. I mean who wouldn't want to read about zombie heroes? After re-reading it again in preparation for this series, I was all up to speed. But don't let that fool...

review 1: The “exciting” conclusion to what was promoted as an “epic saga” left this reader feeling like the creators played a cruel joke on those who followed the series all the way since Blackest Night. All that exciting and beautifully drawn buildup to an ending that felt incredibly pre...

review 1: The Brightest Day is the direct sequel/follow-through after the Blackest Night.Its not recommended to be read on it's own.This one is good enough to get you interested in the fringe characters.The art work is not consistent yet not bad.The story is about the purposes waiting for ...

review 1: Patience is the key word here. It's really quite something the way a book with that large of a cast, expected to sell at a level on a month to month basis is able to keep the careful execution that Justice Society is. It's a testament to the trust the editors have in the reader...
