Justice League 3000 (Howard Porter)
I have been singing the praises of this book since issue #1 to the point that I consider myself it's biggest fan. Of all the books I read and review, this is the one I can't wait for each month. How can they make it even better? Three words...Blue and Gold! Yep, Blue Beetle and Booster Gold are in the house and if that's not good enough, it's the Pre New 52 versions. Howard Porter starts things off with a classic looking cover that features the duo doing what they do best...running away from danger. Hilarious. If you haven't read an issue of JL 3000, you can jump right into this one and see what you think. To see what I thought, go to my review HERE.

Surreal, hypnagogic, experimental...let's just say it's damn good. Mikel Janin's cover is so good, but what I liked best about it is that it isn't cool for cools sake. It tells you the story of what's inside the cover. After reading the issue, the cover became that much better. By the way, Janin's art inside is even better. My review of the issue is HERE.

I love this comic for no reason other than it's awesome. There are so many cool things, but the best part is seeing how much Alfred loves Bruce. The second best part is the bloody wrap on Bruce's hand. I wonder who he was beating the crap out of that got him so tired. Eric reviews this, but hasn't got to it yet so I don't know if the issue is good or not. I do love me some Buccellato and Manapul and this is the beginning of their Anarky story so it should be pretty good.

It seems I should start reserving a spot for Ryan Sook on this list each week. This week he gives us a great and somber cover that features great characters all doing their thing all in an explosion below another lonesome scene. Awesome. Sook is really setting the bar high for covers and the fact that he's doing it weekly is even more impressive. Eric's review for the issue is HERE.
I hope you like the choices and I'm off to make that burger. See you next week.
The batman variant is so sweet. I love Cooke's art, especially in DC the new frontier and the before watchmen Minutemen miniseries he did :)
ReplyDeleteNew Frontier was great! I always love Cooke's stuff, but that variant was special.
