Justice League: Generation Lost #24

/ / Comics

The year-long series reaches the final confrontation between Maxwell Lord and the former members of the Justice League International. Or is it?

The League may have saved Wonder Woman from his wrath, but even in defeat Max Lord manages to salvage the situation by strengthening his hold over Checkmate and consolidating his power.

By far the best part of DC’s Brightest Day storyline, the series ends with Booster Gold and his team finally stopping Maxwell Lord in no small part thanks to the quick thinking of both Blue Beetle and Captain Atom.

The world may now know he exists, but Maxwell Lord isn’t going away. And he’s already started working on repairing his image. Too bad there’s not a team out there to keep an eye on him… or is there? Oh, yeah! Sounds good to me! Maybe we could get a little Guy Gardner (and even Captain Marvel?) this time around? Guess we’ll have to wait and see. Definitely worth a look.

[DC, $4.99]

Power Girl #23

/ / Comics
  • Title: Power Girl #23
  • Comic Vine: link
  • Writer:Judd Winick
  • Artist:Sam Basri

power-girl-23-coverSuperman and Power Girl finally discover who’s behind the magic dinosaurs rampaging across the city. Problem is, it’s Zatanna.

Okay, it’s not actually Zatanna. It’s a magic-stealing douchebag (I believe that’s the clinical term for his condition) who is trying to copy Zatanna’s powers and incorporate them into his own. Let’s just say Zatanna, Power Girl, and Superman might have something to say about that.

Also in this issue we finally see Power Girl’s new, and safe for public consumption, alter-ego Karen Starr. Despite the risks Power Girl has decided to go public in her other, less-super, identity, but she has made a few changes to help disguise the buxom blonde-haired super-woman from the public.

It’s not a great issue, but it does have magic dinosaurs and a pretty good appearance by Zatanna (who keeps to my rule that she’s far more interesting guest-starring in other books than in her own current monthly title). Worth a look.

Darkwing Duck #11

/ / Comics

darkwing-duck-11-coverAlthough it might not be as good as last month’s issue (which was the best issue of the series so far – and one of the best comics I’ve read in 2011), this one’s still brings the fun as Darkwing Duck, Steelbeak, and Femme Appeal make their way through the secret fortress of F.O.W.L.

The issue spends quite a bit of its time wrapping up of the cool ideas and story elements introduced in issue #10, including the giant robotic Walrus and Gosalyn and Honker‘s confrontation with Ammonia Pine, before giving us an inevitable betrayal that leaves our hero at the mercy of Duckthulu (who has converted most of St. Canard into his mindless zombies – including Launchpad).

We’ll have to wait another month for the conclusion of the Duckthulu arc. I’ve enjoyed this storyline, but I’m ready for a new story arc. Even if this issue can’t quite live up to the insane level of awesome of last month it’s still definitely worth a look.

[Boom, $3.99]

Super Dinosaur #1

/ / Comics

super-dinosaur-1-coverOkay, it’s a comic book entitled Super Dinosaur about a super-smart kid and his best pal who just so happens to be a smallish nine-foot tall Tyrannosaurus Rex in robot armor who helps save the world. What’s not to like?

The comic centers around Derek Dynamo, the son of struggling uber inventor and discoverer of “Inner Earth’ (a hidden world in the center of the Earth where dinosaurs still exist) – Doctor Dynamo. Making modifications to his father’s work Derek and Super Dinosaur work together to to the legion of dinosaurs under the control of evil scientist Max Maximus from grabbing control of the powerful, and dangerous, DynOre.

Okay, so it’s not Shakespeare. What it is, however, is fun! This series regathers the team of writer Robert Kirkman and artist Jason Howard who gave us The Astounding Wolf-Man. This comic has much the same feel (including the possibility of the fun being weighed down at times by somewhat shaky storylines). If you liked Astounding Wolf-Man, which I did, then this one should be right up your alley.
