Superman #713 “Must There Be a Superman?”

Walt

SPOILER WARNING: Superman #713 was not what I expected from a J. Michael Straczynski story line I respect him and his writing skills. Having reached the pleasant town of Portland, Oregon and having no actual crime to fight, Clark suddenly finds himself wallowing in self-doubt and asking “Must There Be a Superman?” The strongest man in the world has doubts about who he is and his role in the world and how he should help people. This surely is brought out by the depression he feels from the destruction of…

Green Lantern Movie Review

Walt

I was waiting to give a review of Green Lantern the Movie till I saw it again with a friend to brainstorm the good and the bad points of the movie. After the mixed reviews I wanted not to rush to a hurried conclusion. Below is some of the reviews of critics of the movie. 6 out of 36 critics gave a fresh rating to the movie on Rotten Tomatoes, 30 gave a rotten rating. Resulting in an overall 17 rating: Noisy, overproduced, and thinly written, Green Lantern squanders an…

After Flashpoint: DC Comics New 52 shows up Marvel

Just maybe they will do a great job with the Re-Launch the talent is there, but what was so bad about the old universe? The answer is nothing except the fact Marvel has beat you for the last 40 years in every way possible. So it is time to shake…

Is Comic Creativity In A Funk?

Walt

I just read an article about comic creativity from Mark Millar on the current state of comics and why he left the big two Marvel and DC. He was very negative about the Big Event comics and why Marvel and DC do them. The Article is found on Comic Book News if you would like to read it. I must say that I understand why he may criticize the big guys, Millar is currently doing only his creator owned comics, having recently announced he will no longer be doing work…
