Comics this week

Brightest Day #6- After last issue’s focus on Hawkman, the cast changed again. So like the previous issue with Hawkman, whether you will enjoy the latest issue of Brightest Day depends on how much you enjoy reading about the Martian Manhunter. Writers Geoff Johns and Pete Tomasi are going back old school, moving the character back to his detective roots as Jonn searches for answers over the world. Not bad but personally I prefer the Firestorm story this week. The two misfits that make up Firestorm finally get their act totally and the idea of a third person in Firestorm, cough, Black Lantern, cough, has some real potential in it. The reveal of Mera to Aquaman is a little weak but that could be because I never cared much for Mera in the first place, however the Deadman section this issue was funny. Deadman, Hawk and Dove were all trying to figure out what the white ring was trying to say and in the end, it was just trying to remind Deadman he need to eat as he was alive again. Not great but a very decent issue.
