Entertainment Weekly reviews a few One Year Later titles

 

http://www.ew.com/ew/article/commentary/0,...21_7_0_,00.html

 

I couldn't agree more with the Superman, Batman, Aquaman reviews

 

warning:article contains spoilers

[Renegade 0]

Besides firestorm and detective comics, I thought all the other 52 titles have been really poor.

[ZGangsta 0]

Word on the street is that the new Aquaman is supposed to be pretty great, and with Busiek writing I suppose that's almost a given (though I really didn't like his latest JLA run). Apparently the buying public agrees since it sold out. Anyone picked it up?

I havn't been to the store in a while, but next time I go I'm going to see if I can try and find Superman, Aquaman, and Detective Comics.

[Kurt Angle Mark 0]

I read Batman #651, Manhunter #20, Supergirl and LOSH #16, Robin #148 and Catwoman #53 this week and in my IMO they were all fantastic especially Robin.

,

Anyway the three big things I learned reading these books.

 

*******HUGE IC spoiler and possible 52 spoilers *********

 

1. Doomsday returns in Infinite Crisis, leading to a huge battle royal in Metropolis (Manhunter #20 which anwers a question raised in Superman #650)

 

2. Batman is not the father of Catwoman's daughter. Well that is what I got from their conversation, anyway. Plus Batman holding a Teddy Bear was the best panel ever.(Catwoman)

 

3. Batman, Nightwing and Robin spent the missing year(or only part of it) in Budapest. For What? remains a mystery.(Robin)

I'm really loving the way Batman's being written now. Hes still the Dark Knight, but he actually seems like a human being for the first time in years

That art on the Freedom Fighters issue looks horrible.

[Ted the Poster 0]

The new Atom costume is pretty shitty.

[Vampiro69 0]

DC must have hired Rob Leifield to design their new costumes.

[Guest treecelightning]

I'm reading Aquaman right now, and I think it's fantastic. I also happen to be a big fan of the "EPIC QUEST", so YMMV here. It's written well, and both issues of this story have kept me very interested. I strongly recommend it.

That preview totally convinced me to pick up that issue. I liked that the first person mentioned for the league was Captain Marvel. SHAZAM!

Oooh! Maybe Hitman will finally get on the team!
