Superman: Son Of Superman by Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason – A Book Review
Oh, boy. To understand Superman’s first volume under the Rebirth movement, you need to understand that the Superman in this book is the Superman we knew in the 80s, 90s, and early-2000s. This is the Superman who married Lois Lane, the Superman who fought against Doomsday and died, the Superman who returned from the dead.…

The Hellblazer: Rebirth #1 – A (Comic Book) Review
The Hellblazer: Rebirth #1 is one of my favorite comics so far in the Rebirth initiative because it’s very well written and very well drawn. I’ll admit, though almost 40 years old, I have very limited knowledge when it comes to John Constantine. I think my first encounter with him was the 2005 movie. I…

New Super-Man #1 – A (Comic) Book Review
I won’t even pretend to be objective during this review. I am a Gene Luen Yang fan. I first discovered him when I started teaching American Born Chinese, and he just keeps winning me over.

Justice League: Rebirth #1 – A (Comic) Book Review

The Flash: Rebirth #1 – A (Comic Book) Review
You may remember I went a little goo-goo for DC Universe: Rebirth #1. I’m very happy to say that The Flash: Rebirth #1 is a can’t-miss connection to that seminal issue. The first several pages establish Barry Allen’s character and background in case anyone is new to the title. But then Wally West appears exactly as it…

Green Arrow: Rebirth #1 – A (Comic) Book Review
Green Arrow is a character I’ve always really enjoyed when appearing in the Justice League books. At times I’ve even felt compelled to read his solo title, especially when Smith, Meltzer, and Lemire were at the helm. More often than not, though, I just follow him from afar. One major thing drew me to his…

DC Universe: Rebirth #1 – A Longer Than Intended Reaction
I’ll be honest with you, when I first heard about DC Universe: Rebirth, I didn’t think much of it. I’m 39 and I’ve read DC comics since about the age of 3. I’ve always loved my Super Friends, but yet another “event” failed to engage my interest this time around. That is, until DC executed…
