Johnny Worthless Reviews Comics

Hello People of the Internets...

Five Books on the Roster Tonight, comments are now working so don't be afraid to leave one or five.

Here we go...

First book of the night was Star Trek #3, "The Galileo Seven" Part 1. If you didn't already know this series is based upon the re-imaginings of the exploits of the OG 'Shatner Crew' starring the cast of the J. J. Abrams film reboot. Love the cover. Did someone forget to color the blood red? Censorship? Overall Great Book. The lack of red blood did disturb me, but it was a great read. I'm very excited about this series. I'm not sure what's going on with the art though. It was very sporadic throughout the entire issue, it almost looks as if they're taking stills and drawing over them to get the crew right. After reading this one I want to go back and watch the OG episode. I'll wait till after the conclusion next month. IDW definitely has a winner with this one.

For fans of... Awesomeness, Star Trek, Zoe Saldana

Justice League International #4 was up next. Awesome cover, Finch doing what he does best, sweet eye candy. Peraxxus is Super Cool, I'm a big fan. August General in Iron is great, he might be my favorite of this series so-far. Sweet Splash of the entire crew, Vixen even looked like she belonged there. So it looks like it's the end for planet earth. Good Book, we'll have to find out if the JLI will save the day next month. I'm going to guess yes.

For fans of... Classic Superhero Team Romps, The end of the world, Large Robots, Kirby-esque Villains, Fondling Bruce Wayne

Speaking of old Bat-Pants, Detective Comics #4 came next. After reading this issue I am saddened and confused. I was sure that after issue 3 this issue would be the slam dunk ending to a good intro story to the Dollmaker and his crew. That never really happened. I'm not even sure if the arc has come to an end? Detective at the moment is probably on the bottom of my Bat-list, for who's been naughty and oh so nice in the new 52. This makes me sad because TSD was really coming into his own at the end of his run on the Batman book. He had all these great characters and interweaving threads, it was great, this all feels hollow somehow. Or am I supposed to be confused? I'm also unsure about when this book is taking place. From what I know it's current, but they've been making a lot of "5 years in the past" references. Maybe this one is also in the past like AC and JL. Anybody have info on that? I will always read Detective, I have taken an oath. This issue was very Anti-climatic.

For fans of... Puppet Master, Raggedy Ann and Andy, Magnets


Hands down best new series of the new 52, the journey of David Zavimbe continues in Batwing#4. So Ben Oliver just did the cover of this issue, a little worried about that. We get to see Batwing "batwinging" around, art good so-far. More black blood, is this for digital? I'm thinking it is. Finally got some red blood. Batwing scores again, even without Oliver it was great. I even forgot Winick was writing, I was just enthralled by David's story. Where are the Batwing Tee-shirts?

For fans of... David Zavimbe (if you're not a fan yet become one now)

Last of the night my first venture into Grant Morrison's Superman Party-time Action Comics #4. I only picked this up because I heard Steel was making his debut. The main book wasn't very interesting. I guess I saw the first appearance of Steel, Superman is pretty lame with his little costume on. I know what happened to the city it was kind of obvious. I guess if you knew nothing about Supes at all this might be cool, but it's not. The backup story with Steel was great, if you like John Henry Irons check this one out. The backup makes the book worthwhile. When does Steel get his own book? I'll be there for that.

For fans of... Kal-El the cos-play boy, Steel, Saying I told you so because you know Grant Morrison wouldn't write garbage in the end (or would he?)

That's it for tonight guys and gals.

Remember feel free to leave comments.

I'd like to thank the great people at 1up Collectibles for giving me this space to rant, also my wife for putting up with me and my comics.

Thanks For stopping by and Thanks for Reading.
