Injustice: Gods Among Us Year One

Injustice: Gods Among Us Year One by Tom Taylor

My experience has been that most comic based on video games are…less than stellar. And when I have not even played the game on which it is based, I am even more reluctant to read the book. However, my son’s oldest friend has been asking me to read this for several years and so I started it this month. I am so glad I listened to him as this was a fun and interesting read. The main concept is that Superman “Breaks bad” and Batman […]

When I get bored, I look for trouble. And since I have no idea what trouble looks like, I usually find a book, or five books. Granted, none are more than a 150-200 pages each. Just quick young graphic novels that were not really “that young” with some mature themes, issues and images going on. In Supergirl Adventures: Girl of Steel we are introduce to Kara (aka Supergirl) from a young girl on her home planet, to the day Krypton was destroyed and the sister […]

Superheroes 101

We Are the Justice League! (DC Justice League) by DC Comics

March 31, 2020 by BlackRaven Leave a Comment

I like Super-Heroes. But for movies, I tend to be Marvel over DC, but my heart will always belong to Adam West, Burt Ward, Frank Gorshin, Julie Newmar, Burgess Meredith and Cesar Romero. Yes, 1960’s Batman with all the BAM! POW! And KRACK! I will always have a soft sport for DC characters. And in We Are the Justice League by DC Comics/Random House, your child (grades first to (lower) third grade) can be introduced or continue their love. Included in We Are the Justice […]

Superheroes are human, too

Dear Justice League by Michael Northrop

Dear Justice League, How did you know that ages 7 to 10 (and the big kid in all of us) would want to read this book (called Dear Justice League by author Michael Northrop) over and over? This format of your Justice League character (Wonder Woman, Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg, Hawkgirl, Green Lantern and Superman) fans emailing you a letter (and actual pen and paper writing to Batman) asking about things as deep as “Do you ever make mistakes?” to “Does Aquaman smell like fish?” is […]

That Escalated Quickly

May 17, 2018 by Halbs Leave a Comment

Injustice is an awesome fighting video game made by the people who make Mortal Kombat. The game is fun and popular. It’s so popular, in fact, that you can watch Injustice tournaments on cable tv. (I do.) This book series seems to provide some more stories within the world of the game. I think. The story within the game is pretty cool, too. In Injustice, Joker decides to show up in Metropolis. He becomes the butterfly flapping its wings. The little bit of wind he generates […]

And so I disliked a book written by Gene Luen Yang.

I’ve read all of Gene Luen Yang’s comics, so it was a no-brainer that I would be reading his version of Superman. Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy it. Actually, I’ve never really enjoyed a Superman comic, so this may be on me. But before we get to the actual comic, a complaint. WTF, why is the DC comics universe so messed up??? I mean, it took me an hour after reading this to determine which version of Superman I was reading, where it was in the […]

Zirza on A Gothic Classic for a ReasonIt's one of those wish-you-could-read-it-again-for-the-first-time books. I loved it.
Emmalita on “It came to something when you found yourself hoping that the footsteps you heard were ghosts.”I loved the ending! I don’t think it’s been out long enough to talk about why though.
Dixie on Track Her Down by Melinda LeighI am just starting Track Her Down and I have read them all in order till now and thought I...
Roland of Gilead on How can you give us the gift of a crazy character named Rando Thoughtful and then just as suddenly take that gift away? We need to talk, Uncle Stevie.I came across this randomly years after it was written because I was searching "Random Thoughtful. But I have the...
Emmalita on “Only you, Em, would refer to heartbreak as a distraction. I think I would have a more sympathetic response if I asked to marry a bookcase.”Oh my goodness, Gallifrey was beautiful. I’m sure her mittens were gloriously murdery.
