DCU: Rebirth #1-Like all resets, there were some misses in
the New 52 and for all intent and purposes, Rebirth is DC’s Hail Mary pass to
right all wrongs. Honestly, I don’t think New 52 was that bad but I’m willing
to go Rebirth a go. Like all resets, you can only judge this issue based on
potential and on that front, writer Geoff Johns did a good job. Wally West’s
story and his acceptance of his death were great. His rescue by Barry Allen was
superb, and everything was overshadowed by the reveal of just who will be the
main villain in Rebirth. I’m sure the reveal will fly over the head of some
people but for people like me who gets it; it was just cool!
Justice League #50- It’s fair to say the “Darkseid War” has
been the highlight of the New 52. With Rebirth on the horizon, writer Geoff
Johns ends it on a crazy and high note. Jason Fabok's art and Brad Anderson's
colors matched the epic story and together, the trio made a gorgeous comic for
the ages. Pick this one up. No wait; pick up the whole “Darkseid War” saga. You
will not be disappointed.
Monstress #6- With enemies on both side of the war, Maika Halfwolf
did the only thing she could; she made a deal with the monster inside her. The
only problem is…what happened to the cliffhanger at the end of #5? I can’t help
but feel writer Marjorie Liu rushed things to end the arc before the series goes
on hiatus till August. That’s too bad because till now, Monstress has been a well-crafted
story ably backed by the beautiful art of Sana Takeda. It done enough to get me
back in August but this was a sad end to what had been a great series.
