Infinite Frontier #5 Review

 

Dead End

Writer: Joshua Williamson

Artist: Tom Derenick, Jesus Merino, Paul Pelletier

Cover Price: $4.99

Release Date: August 31, 2021

Infinite Frontier has been one of the better books coming out from DC since Death Metal and Future State ended.  It feels significant and is also fun and filled with fantastic characters.  Now, it does look like this 6-issue mini is only the start and is setting up the next thing (Justice League Incarnate), but it has still been great, and I hope that continues here.  Let's get into it...

Batman: Fear State: Alpha #1 Review

 

I am Scared Now

Writer: James Tynion IV

Artist: Riccardo Federici

Cover Price: $4.99

Release Date: August 31, 2021

Fear State is finally here...almost.  I say that because this book is a setup issue for the whole thing, and boy, if you could get a nickel for every time that 'fear state" and "future state" are said in this alpha issue, you might have as much money as James Tynion is getting for going over to Substack!

Time Is On Nobody's Side

The story that couldn't just be a backup is here with an Annual to finish our story or at least get it started for Future State..... or however that time travel paradox nonsense works. Previously, in our Action Comics Midnighter backup, we had Midnighter and Shilo Norman fighting the forces of Andrej Trojan.... which were just essential vehicles with faces stretched over them and when things started to look grim, Apollo showed up to save the day. Let's see if Apollo continues to save the day and if the time travel bits of this book becomes more than a headache. Let's check it out.

Let's head back to school..... or more like summer vacation since this book's scheduling is completely messed up and our kids have four issues of actual school and get to summer when summer is about to be over......
