Comic book News, and Reviews I Animated Apparel Company

The 2009 Wonder Woman movie is one of DC’s hidden gems as far as animated films go: you have absolutely everything you could ask for in a Wonder Woman story (epic elements, great battles, solid moral values, and heartfelt emotion) and it delivers with a solid pace, not wasting time and doing justice to every character that appears on the screen. I often wonder how much the 2017 live-action film took from this because there are many similar elements, although there is a major difference in the third act.

This is a really remarkable movie that you must check out if you are a fan of Wonder Woman or if you are just interested in a good superhero story. Definitely worth your time.

Flash Forward #4 is so far the best issue of a miniseries that has been very clear and concise about what they wanted to do: to reestablish Wally West’s righteous place as one of the best heroes of the DC pantheon and also to tell a great story that is benefited by having some of the best art of 2019. It has everything you could ask of a classic superhero story combining the best attributes of modern tendencies.

Wally West, the Flash for a lot of us, has gone through a lot, and for the fans that are really invested in the character, this issue is particularly special, showing how good DC is when it goes back to its classic roots.

A very good issue and quite likely my favorite of the entirety of 2019.

I have short patience for people that love making excuses for what they do and don’t do. There seems to be have been a trend in our society where people love to point to someone or something else as the one responsible for their misfortunes or their mistakes when the reality is that we’re all responsible for what we do and its respective consequences on our existences and to others.

That brings me to the topic in hand: Forbes recently published an article stating that Warner Brothers doesn’t know how to make Superman relevant in modern-day and that is why they have been struggling to make another film in recent times.

And I’m here to say that the “Superman problem” is completely false and nothing more than an excuse by lazy producers, board members, and writers to come up with a high-quality product.

Flash Forward issue #3 is another great chapter of a great miniseries. Lobdell and Booth have done a phenomenal job in taking the character back to his roots and to what he represents as a hero with a fun set of stories that are superhero comics at their best.

If you haven’t read this miniseries, it’s definitely worth your time and you should keep an eye on future issues.

Joëlle Jones is one of the best-kept secrets in the comic book industry right now. Her current Catwoman run has been of great quality and has been a commercial success, which is something that Selina Kyle has not enjoyed in some of her solo books. Both as a writer and as an artist, Joëlle has proven to be a very capable talent and is poised to reach far greater heights in the coming years.

I had the opportunity of doing this interview with her where we discussed her career, her influences, her progress and many other things that I hope you find interesting about one of DC Comics’ top writers and artists.

The Tornado’s Path is a celebration of everything that makes the Justice League what it is and I would dare to say that it’s a very solid and accurate portrayal of what the DC universe is: a place where there are a lot of challenges, but its heroes represent the best of us and the League is the peak of heroism. It feels honest, well-written and compelling, which makes it a very enjoyable read.

Brad Meltzer and Ed Benes crafted a marvelous story where an unlikely protagonist (Red Tornado) was the best point of view in these events and it works like a charm. It’s also a great way to kick start this new iteration of the League and while I think Meltzer’s run would run out of gas pretty quick with The Lightning Saga, I think The Tornado’s Path is a tremendous story that deserves a bit more credit.

A great comic and a great showcase of what the Justice League represents.

The term “underrated” is thrown around way too often, but there are really very few cases when it actually looks the part and this is the case of artist Darryl Banks. The man has been one of the finest artists in the comic book industry in the last thirty years or so and contributed to the creation of the Green Lantern of the 90s, Kyle Rayner (who also happens to be my favorite character).

But Banks’ career doesn’t stop there, having created more characters, collaborated on some very good runs and overall leaving his mark on the industry. I had the opportunity of talking with him for an interview and I got his insight on many different topics.
