Justice League vs. Suicide Squad #1- I went
into this with low expectations despite DC advertising this as the first major
DC crossover since Rebirth. I was pleasantly surprised. The idea of Justice
League vs. Suicide Squad is simple. Batman and the JL have discovered that
Amanda Waller is running a covert assassination squad comprised of their
enemies, and they intend to put a stop to it. Writer Joshua Williamson’s story
is pretty by the book but he did the job. He seems to have a good handle on the
characterises of both teams, but what really impress me in this issue is the
art. Artist Jason Fabok was excellent. His detailed and cinematic style was
perfect for this. Good start!
Spider-Gwen #15- The Christmas issue, but a
good Christmas? Yes, there’s such a thing as writer Jason Latour and artist
Robbi Rodriguez show Gwen and cast at Christmas and how the holidays affects
them all. I must say this Matt Murdock is growing on me as Latour shows him
putting his pieces in place and some small history of the character. The
Western Sun of the Hand? The Kingpin of Crime? Friends with benefits with
Superior Cindy Moon? Current the boss of Spider-Gwen? Now this is one character
I want to read more of!
Trinity #4- This series has been good in a
very surprising way. Whereas in the past, this team-up has always due to
world-shattering event, writer Francis Manapul is going the other way here by
having a low-key and introspective examinations of the 3 characters and what
makes them tick. More importantly, he showed what them tick with each other! I
can understand why some people think this series is slow and dull and if you
are looking for high-action fisticuffs, this is not for you. However for an
in-depth look at the Trinity, this is the series you want.
