Review: JSA by Geoff Johns Book Three

JSA by Geoff Johns Book Three JSA by Geoff Johns Book Three by Geoff Johns
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Gets rolling

This is where Johns found his groove and it’s smooth sailing from here. At this point the characters and stories all rise up to be a fun comic worth reading. The only fault is that this collection is out of order when you go back to book two. The Virtue and Vice crossover should have ended this volume not volume two.

Finds it’s groove

This is where Johns starts to establish himself as a great writer. You can see how well he understands the DC Universe in this book. There are different things that you can take from this book but you’re sure to appreciate something in this book.

Half truth

It’s not only Geoff John’s that wrote this book. It starts with Robinson and Goyer before it transitions to only Johns. The tone is different at the start but that eventually changes. This is the weakest part of Geoff’s run on JSA so don’t judge this book poorly.

Review: Fantastic Four: The Master of Doom

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Better then the first

It’s better then the first part of Millar’s run but barely. The whole Marquis thing was over the top but at least Dr. Doom did something kind of interesting.

It’s okay

Unless you are familiar with Millars other Marvel work this book is interesting. But if you are familiar with his work then this book is just okay.

Review: Captain Marvel, Vol. 2: Stay Fly

Captain Marvel, Vol. 2: Stay Fly Captain Marvel, Vol. 2: Stay Fly by Kelly Sue DeConnick
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

Nope

That was bad in a way that few books are. I see where the latest movie, The Marvels took some ideas from. That was a bad idea which did not help that movie. This was a waste of a read that I’m glad to be done with but I’m mad that I actually read this thing.

Review: Wolverine: Origin - The Complete Collection

Wolverine: Origin - The Complete Collection Wolverine: Origin - The Complete Collection by Paul Jenkins
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Doesn’t live up

While it is two stories in one book both of them hit well below the expectations you have for them. The first book ends in a poor cliffhanger, the second ends in a poor statement. The art is the saving grace for both books but mostly the first one. I can’t say it’s a must read for this character but it at least pulls back the curtain on where he came from.
