G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #258

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #258Neither Cobra nor the JOEs are safe after Dr. Venom transfers his consciousness into a giant android, and in the process has gone completely insane. With Cobra Commander in the clutches of the deranged robot, Dr. Mindbender has no choice but to help the JOEs in a furious last stand to take down the mech and end the battle.

G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero #258 offers plenty of action as most of the comic takes place during the battle which sees the nearly-indestructible killer robot shoot down Cobra Rattlers and a fairly heroic move by Bombstrike, proving true to her name, to take the the enemy once and for all… or did she (after all, the story arc continues in the next issue)?

Detective Comics #994

Detective Comics #994 comic reviewThe countdown to Detective Comics #1000 begins here as we join Batman and Commissioner Gordon investigating an unusual double-murder on the anniversary of the deaths of Thomas and Martha Wayne. With the victims’ bodies altered and dressed to resemble Bruce Wayne’s parents, the obvious question is… why? An attack on Leslie Thompkins shortly after makes it all to obvious that someone is hunting both Bruce Wayne and Batman.

Given the plastic surgery, and the detailed knowledge of Batman’s true identity and past, the most obvious choice for the villain behind the complicated charade would be Hush. Although that seems to be the best bet, we’ll have to wait and see if that is indeed the case.

SHAZAM! #1

SHAZAM! #1 comic reviewThe world’s mightiest mortal returns to the comic page in SHAZAM! #1 Despite the character getting his own movie release in the near future, DC Comics has had trouble knowing what to call the character since loosing the rights to the name Captain Marvel. Realizing this, writer Geoff Johns has a little fun here (first by almost having Billy use the name and again having our hero ponder the trouble with calling himself Shazam as he would never be able to introduce himself without loosing his powers).

Although we don’t see Tawky Tawny, Johns does give us a full Marvel Family who is called on to take down some low-rent crooks. The comic even foreshadows the possibility that my favorite of the Marvel Family characters may appear at some point.
