Batman/Superman #4- Oh! Now that’s unexpected! The world of
the older Superman and Batman is Earth 2; the same Earth 2 that currently is an
ongoing series! Not only that, this arc gave a reason why Darkseid attacked
Earth 2 in Earth 2 #1! The subtle way writer Greg Pak has inserted that fact into the story is
so unlike the current loud, proud and brash New 52 DC that I’m beyond surprised.
I’m shocked! Backed by the solid art of Jae Lee & Yildiray Cinar, and you
have a new series that’s going to be a hit.
Avengers #21- If there’s still any arguments that Infinity
is a crossover instead of an event, this issue settle it. #21 shows the
Galactic Council’s victory over the Builders and the way of the victory is
first shown in #20 of Avengers. The main Infinity series never even hinted at
the betrayal of the Ex Nihilos. Writer Jonathan Hickman and artist Leinil
Francis Yu put together a very good issue here; too bad about the wrong
marketing though.
New Avengers #11- Even though this was marketed as a tie-in to “Infinity”, New Avengers
has been pretty much doing its own thing. I’ve always dislike the title of this
series since technically The Illuminati are not part of the Avengers; since
when did Reed Richards and Black Bolt join the Avengers? Outside that, the group has been
doing some very un-Avenger like things like destroying whole worlds, something
even Thanos approved of when he found out this issue. I do like the way the
tension is slowly rising with you sensing how things are coming to a head as
their past actions are fast catching up to them. Good issue but not really a tie-in with Infinity.
