In the last issue of Swamp Thing we saw the climax of Machine Queen's plan to take out The Green and in turn Swamp Thing. After having one of the strangest three ways I've ever seen Machine Queen, Anton Arcane and Miki used the bones of Alec Holland to copulate out a resurrected Simple Jack version of Alec Holland and after Swamp Thing came face to face with this wrong doppelganger, the battle all fell apart. Using a mind controlled Sureen to open a portal to The Green, Anton Arcane given his powers back so that he could use The Rot to finally strike a fatal blow against the plant life on Earth, poisoned the Green and spread Rot across the Earth. It was bad news for our swampy Avatar, let's see if he can overcome this calamity and pull a Dr. Sam Beckett and put right what once went wrong.......... Or what's going wrong........ Let's check it out.

In the last issue we had a lot of fun as Green Arrow teamed up with Green Lantern as the two tried to stop John King's subjects from killing everyone in a hospital. As you'd imagine our heroes pulled it off but it wasn't all victory and RC Cola for them; no, our heroes had to deal with John King upping the stakes a bit when Green Arrow had a reward put out for his capture by the politicians of Seattle who apparently work for King as well. If that wasn't bad enough, King also got his hands on his daughter Mia and tortured Oliver's girlfriend/assistant.......... you know what? She probably has a better job title than assistant but that's what I'm going with...... anyway, King tortured Zehra into possibly becoming loyal to him. At the end of the issue we saw our favorite ring slinger exit the story, so let's see if our Emerald Archer can pull off taking down King with the rest of his team sans superpowers. Let's check it out.

Welcome to My Nightmare
In the last issue of Green Lantern, we saw Hal sent on leave by the Templar Guardians and go back to Earth, which I've been waiting to see for a long time. It was there though that we realized that things aren't all sunshine and rainbows for the leader of the Corps, no instead it looks like Hal is dealing with a lot after the events of GODHEAD and really, every other awful thing that's happened to the Corps and him with every crossover before it. You figure the fact that the universe pretty much hates the Lantern's guts due to the Durlan shape shifting ruse and that a guy he knows his banging his ex-girlfriend......... Yeah, you might be a little frazzled too. So Hal took some time for himself last issue to go get some drinks but Guy Gardner and future Barry Allen had to show up and force their problems on Hal............ jerks. At the end of the issue Carol Ferris showed up and told Hal to get his shit together and maybe............. just maybe if he does that, they'll have a shot in the future. Let's check out where our story goes from there. |

GAH MY HEART!
Last issue of Earth 2, I spent the majority of the review complaining about how this title that I love had merely become a way to tell some side stories that the writers of World's End didn't want to bother putting into the weekly series. Yeah, I called this title World's End's Bitch. Luckily though, after reading this issue I think I can say that Earth 2 will play bitch no longer and it will become the great title that it once was......... Well, I hope it will. So let's check out this issue all about Doctor Fate and Aqua Woman, who have been sorely missed from World's End. Let's check it out and get reacquainted with these two Earth 2 powerhouses. %2B-%2BPage%2B1.jpg)
Last issue of World's End, we had the Fury Death sorta give birth to her spawn....... appropriately known as Deathspawn and I say sorta gave birth because the monster actually ripped out of her. Instead of another Avatar fight though, the monster simply went into the ground and apparently went after the parliament themselves. Besides for that though, the rest of the issue went pretty smoothly for our heroes. New baddies, the proto-furies were introduced and quickly beaten by Red Tornado, Batman reenacted the OD scene from Pulp Fiction and jogged Huntress's heart back to beating by injecting her with venom....... So yeah, pretty decent issue of our heroes not getting their ass kicked. That might not last too much longer though because on the final page we saw that Kalibak is on Earth and you know how he loves giving out a good ass whooping. Let's check out this issue and see if our Earth 2 heroes can continue to win against the forces of Darkseid......... Yeah, we already know what happens, but let's pretend we don't.
In our last jaunt to Five Years From Now, Superman (of the Clark Kent variety) and Constantine were fighting off corn kernel monsters when they discovered that Smallville is some ancient evil place marked by the true Brainiac long ago....... What does that mean? I don't really know, I think Constantine and Clark just needed something to do during this series. By the end of the issue we saw that Brainiac had finally made his way to Earth and that his plan was to collect Manhattan mint on card. Now it's up to Earth's heroes to fight back and stop Brainiac from his collecting chaos. Let's check out this issue and see if they pull it off.
In the last issue of Arkham Manor we saw that the administration just lets the inmates do whatever the hell they want. I mean, Bruce's disguise of Jack Shaw was found in the room of a man that had a drill put in his head after he beat up a bunch of orderlies and then he's simply checked out by a doctor for a concussion without any extra security...... No wonder everyone is always breaking out of Arkham. Bruce eventually went back to his snooping around with none of the security caring and found where "The Spider" since we're calling him that now, has been hiding. After a brief fight, the killer got away but Bruce found the almost dead body of Zsasz.... So yeah, Zsasz is alive. At the end of the issue we saw the orderly Eric Border reveal himself as The Joker and somehow turn a amnesiac part of Clayface into a Jokerized Clownface........ It's A Mad House! Let's check out this issue and see if Bruce can find the killer while Clownface runs amok.

When we last walked through the dark pages of Gotham By Midnight, we were given Sister Justine's back story about how she came to be in Corrigan's Precinct 13 gang and it had to do with Spectre getting ornery and her parish being possessed by green drooling........ I want to call them specters but that seems confusing to me........ So some sort of other worldly being was possessing them. Spectre wiped them out and Sister Justine decided to join Jim in doing the greater good. The rest of the issue was Jim Corrigan taking out that evil monster nun thing and saving the children that had been taken by the monster and in the end we found out that there are five monsters attacking Gotham with it's growing darkness and what not. So, I'm saying that the parish monster was one and with the nun we got two out of five down. Let's see if this issue throws anymore monsters Precinct 13's way. Let's check it out.%2B-%2BPage%2B1.jpg)

Last issue of Eternity War, we saw some bad shit go down with the Horde bringing Hordak back from Despondos and fusing him with the blood of He-Man....... What does this mean? Well it means that Hordak forged himself a sword and claimed the power of Grayskull for himself........ So if Eternia didn't seem screwed before, it certainly does now. Not to mention that Hordak wants to get his hands on two gems that could kill anyone in space and time. As the last issue ended our heroes proclaimed that they would find and destroy these two gems but it might be a little harder than they imagined. Skeletor made his grand re-entrance and we saw that he has the gem of Chaos..... These gems don't have any play at all in this issue, I just wanted to keep you fresh on the subject. So let's check out this issue where our heroes make their first assault against Hordak.
I'd love to say that it's Super Bowl Sunday, but I don't think anyone but Marshawn Lynch is allowed to do that, so...welcome to the Best DC Covers of the Week. What better way to pass the time before the Big Game than checking out some cool covers for books such as The Flash, Batman and Deathstroke. There were so many books this week that it was tough to narrow them down, but I like these the best. As for the game, I'm going with the Patriots over the Seahawks 21-17. I'm an Eagles fan so I'm sure I'll be wrong. Enjoy the covers.
