Action Comics #964
Christians view Jesus as God with His split-curl slicked back and black-rimmed glasses obscuring His face… As such, Action Comics these last few months has perfectly paralleled my own personal pilgrimage.
Trinity #1
Manapul constantly cultivates continuity in service of characterization, not just reaffirming development that took place in the past, but making salient comparisons to the present plot.
Seven to Eternity
The rot of all principles begins with placing a single foot on the road to compromise.
Action Comics #963
Action Comics is finally addressing one of the more interesting plot points introduced in Rebirth, namely the co-existence of Clark and Kal as man and Superman, respectively.
Justice League #4
Hitch’s ambition in addressing significant aspects of the mythology exceeds his skill as a storyteller… “The Extinction Machine” may well prove immensely consequential, but if few readers remain due to its dearth of quality, the ideas it establishes will not matter much in the minds of fans nor future writers alike.
Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV
Kingsglaive as a film is not a work of great art, but in the designs featured in the film there exists evidence of a great deal of artistry, and through such the experience of watching it is unabashedly joyful. Any gamer with plans to play FF XV would do well to watch Kingsglaive, escaping early into Eos for a few fun hours.
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Mankind Divided is no longer Speculative Fiction along the lines of human Revolution, but a more allegorical work less open to application, interpretation, or speculation.
Action Comics #962
Jurgens may be writing a smarter Superman than is often depicted, but he’s certainly not writing a smarter comic book than fans of the genre have grown accustomed to.
Generation Zero #1
The “depressingly normal” Keisha is certainly not normal, but she is depressing, and is the major hurdle to enjoying a conceptually cool comic.
Klaus #7
Since Saturnalia, solstice festivals such as Yule and Christmas have always been about the conquest of light over darkness, and long before comic books stories of heroes across all cultures have been about the same. Morrison’s genius is in making explicit a connection so obvious it’s easily overlooked; so simple it becomes sublime.
