I enjoyed the first issue of this book but did say in my review of that one that it was very much the introduction issue, so story took second place to establishing all the pieces on the board. It was still a great read of course, but it was more about the spectacle than the story. Issue 2’s are the real money books, where we get to see if there is substance to go with the style. This being Josh Williamson, I’m betting it will be a firm yes, but as always, the proof is in the pudding.
Let’s take a look.
That Pariah’s a naughty boy, isn’t he? I actually used to like him when he first appeared, he had a Shakespearean tragic hero quality about him when he inadvertently triggered the Crisis on Infinite Earths.

The Flash continues its run of excellent episodes this week, despite some temporary idiocy among its smartest characters...

3.15 The Wrath Of Savitar
It’s hard to think that this show could get any more quintessentially Flash after, in the last two weeks, the gang travelling to a parallel earth to fight a gladiator match in a city populated by sentient gorillas, then having the gorillas invade our Earth and being fought off by three super speedsters and half of Justice League Detroit. But then you get Barry, Jessie, and Wally training to open this week’s episode. Any combination of the two of them is incredibly fun to watch. Barry and Wally together especially feel so close to the comic pairing that it actually makes both...

Comic Book Reviews: DC Comics Round Up Week 08-10-2016
Scott Snyder is back on Batman in an "all –star" way! (see what I did there?) as he teams up with two fantastic artist in Veteran John Romita Jr. and upcoming superstar Declan Shalvey. How does it hold up to his previous Batman New 52 run? Well read on to see! Also we get the return of the deadliest man in the world -- Deathstroke -- which was penned by the super talented Christopher Priest.
Action Comics #961
Story: Dan Jurgens Art: Stephen Segovia, Art Thibert
Review: Typically I don’t like it when a series keeps changing artist issue to issue, but honestly each illustrator that’s jumped on to Action Comics with Dan Jurgens has been top notch! I’m a huge fan of Tyler Kirkham and Patrick Bircher, and equally a huge fan of Stephen Segovia! And, to be fair,...
