Reviews,
commentary, and general reactions to the DC Comics that were released
during May that I received at the beginning of June. [Link
to previous month]
Well,
friends, I goofed this time! The way I do these monthly write-ups of
my DC Comics reading, as I do for most of my review/commentaries, is
take notes as I'm reading using the “Notes” app on my iPhone.
Then I have those notes to jog my imperfect memory. Guess what –
There's no way to retrieve those notes if you accidentally delete
them. Unless you've recently backed up your iPhone by connecting it
to iTunes, which I rarely do. I wifi most everything I want onto it,
and charge directly off the wall. Well, guess what I did about
two-thirds of the way through my stack. Yep. … After an
afternoon's fruitless search on the Internet, including offering my
son $50 if he could figure out a way to retrieve it – hey, I was
sure it wouldn't be the first time I'd make this mistake – I
finally had to admit I was screwed. This is a definite flaw, I
think, in the official “Notes” app. I've since found a separate
Notes app that keeps a trash can from which you can retrieve
accidentally-discarded notes, and I've started using it instead.
But
what it meant for now was that I have no notes for most of these
comics upon which to base any kind of write-up. I'm not going to go
through and read them again just for that – heck, I was already way
behind due to a family vacation, and I've already received my box
with my June issues which I'm ready to start reading. My OCD nature
being what it is, I can't start those until I've “retired” last
month's comics, i.e., finished this blog post. Therefore the first
two-thirds of this is going to be little more than titles, covers,
and my customary links to outside blogs.
It's
a shame that this was the month that saw not only the debut of DC's
“second wave” of New 52 titles, but also two major cross-overs –
“Night of the Owls” in the Batman family of titles, and
“The Culling” in the “Young Justice” family of titles.
Luckily, in the latter cross-over, it's pretty straightforward and
the most important part is the final chapter, for which I do have
notes and will write a normal paragraph or so on. In the case of the
former, well, for “Night of the Owls here
is a comprehensive time-line and reading order. It's not
actually the order I read them, since I generally read books in the
scheduled order of release and by their order in the original
Previews solicits. But it gives the gist of the events. As
to the “second wave,” I was looking forward to Earth 2
and Worlds' Finest enough that I am going to reread
them in full, as I will do for about the fourth or fifth time since
Free Comic Book Day at the beginning of May for DC's offering for
that next-best-thing-to-Christmas in any comics fan's life.
Starting
with that...
“Coming
Next Year … Trinity War”
This
actually has a cover date of June, but who cares. It came out along
with the first Wednesday of May's issues, which were cover-dated
July. So that's how I'm treating it. It basically serves as a
combination teaser for what is apparently going to be DC's first big
post-Flashpoint line-wide Event crossover, “The Trinity
War,” and preview of the Second Wave titles replacing the six
lowest-selling titles of the initial New 52. I was not buying any of
the cancelled titles.
In
this short teaser, seven multicultural “guardians of magic” judge
three whom they call the “Trinity of Sin” – apparently the
“Trinity” of the “War,” although traditionally for the past
few years the term “trinity” in DC terms has meant Superman,
Batman, and Wonder Woman. The Trinity of Sin are: 1) the hooded
woman from Flashpoint and the first month of the New 52 titles
(as well as at least one other appearance since then), whose name is
Pandora. The Pandora; 2) the Phantom Stranger, who appears to
be settled now as Judas Iscariot (if I recall, one of the former
putative origins); and 3) an unnamed, unrepentent warlord who becomes
the new Question. Then, in the midst of the Red Room, a secret
repository of super-scientific objects, receiving a signal from Earth
2, showing events (more or less) that occur in Earth 2 #1, it
is attacked by a computer virus. At ARGUS, Steve Trevor receives a
package with no return address containing a copy of the book on the
Justice League, Gods Among Us. Pandora herself raids the
Black Room, a secret repository of magical artifacts. Then there is
a big quadruple-page fold-out spread providing a widescreen glimpse
of the near future and a confrontation between members of the Justice
League and other mysterious superbeings, including a new masked,
black Green Lantern, with the tag forecasting the “Trinity War.”
The balance of the book presents short excerpts from the six Second
Wave titles.
Well,
despite myself and my preference that DC stay away from the Big Event
stunts for a while, I find myself intrigued. There have even been
rumors that the black Green Lantern is a replacement for a deceased
Hal Jordan – Batman taunts him that he is no Hal Jordan –
but I kind of doubt they'd go back to that well again after one
stated purpose of the New 52 was to get back to the iconic versions
of the main heroes at least (sadly, that didn't extend to the
second-generation heroes such as Wally West, Donna Troy, and so
forth). I wonder if it's not John Stewart, whom Batman may not have
worked with or even met in the post-Flashpoint continuity.

“The
Price of Victory”
Five
years ago – before or after “Earth 1”? – Apokalips invaded
Earth 2, under the command of Steppenwolf. A different Superman and
Wonder Woman battle the parademons, buying time for Batman to plant
some kind of virus in a network of towers. A female Robin is
providing him with air support while Supergirl is flitting around the
world guarding various platoons of troops setting nukes around towers
as backup. We see one of those platoons under the command of Al
Pratt. In the midst of battle, the god Mercury appears to Wonder
Woman, bearing word that the gods are falling, but that she has given
him faith in humans. In quick succession, Wonder Woman and Superman
are killed, and Robin witnesses the death of her father Batman as his
plan works and the tower network goes down, taking with it the
parademons. Supergirl has arrived, and she and Robin perceive a
shadowy humanoid figure in the collapsing “energy tube” through
which the invaders had been coming. They try to take the figure and
vanish with the tube.
All
this is narrated in retrospect from five years later – the present
– by Alan Scott. Meanwhile, a young wastrel named Jay Garrick sees
Mercury fall to Earth before him – prophesying an even greater
evil.
This
is a good first issue, thematically tied into the opening arc of
Justice League. Although these new “Earth 2” heroes are
quite different from the Golden Age DC characters, I have a lot of
faith in James Robinson's demonstrated love and respect for those
iconic progenitors of basically the entire super-hero comic genre.
And Nicola Scott's art is beautiful here.
“Rebirth”
Over
dinner in Tokyo, apparently taking up almost directly from Huntress
#6, Helena Wayne discards her Helena Bertinelli ID. Karen makes
reference to the Fukushima
Disaster, presumably a parallel event to what happened in our
world. She has recently purchased a Japanese research lab for its
experimental Quantum Tunneler, which she believes offers hope for she
and Helena to return home to their Earth. It's interesting how
quickly we see the differing attitudes of Helena and Karen, that
Helena is accepting of their exile while Karen is trying to get home,
to the point that she's willing to “break seven of the Ten
Commandments to do it.” Anyway, they get an alert that the lab has
gone up in flames and rush there. The QT has itself survived,
apparently, but Karen takes a new heroic identity as “Power Girl”
as they attack the saboteur. We also get reference to Karen's
appearances from the very beginning of the New 52 in the pages of the
new Mr. Terrific title which I was not reading – nor
apparently many others, because it was part of the first round of
cancellations.
In
the middle of all this, we have a flashback to those events of five
years ago, with Helena Robin and Karen Supergirl plunging into the
energy tube chasing Darkseid (presumably), ending up in a hard
landing on an Earth not their own. Fifty-nine months ago, Helena has
established new ID's for them (and raided Wayne Enterprises funds –
would Bruce really miss this?). We find that Lois was “lost
… to one of Darkseid's infiltrators …. It crushed Kal ....”
By a few weeks ago, Karen has emerged as a science-technology mogul
while Helena is quietly acting as a vigilante, the Huntress.
The
art – both George Perez in the present, Kevin Maguire in the
flashbacks – the story by Paul Levitz – all great. Need I say
more?
… And
now for bare-bones quick hits (and not always even that much) on the
issues whose notes I lost:
“The
Curse of Superman”
“Executive
Power”
This
interlude issue presents a tale of Grant Morrison's President Obama
Superman – well, not literally Obama, of course – first
introduced way back in Final Crisis. I'm not quite sure what
the purpose was, but it was pure Grant Morrison, and in the second
story we got a glimpse of what having a president with Superman's
powers might be like – and energetic debate between him and the
Wonder Woman analogue about how his very holding the office
constitutes a flouting of the U.S. Constitution he is sworn to
uphold, much less what he's doing in that story. It's at the
very least interesting commentary.

… And
this is where I accidentally deleted my notes for all the preceding.
My notes for the rest were made subsequent to that catastrophe. So,
back to my normal verbosity....
“Night
of the Owls: Mirrors Come in All Sizes”
Prelude
from 1665: A Talon loses his knives, is censured, and put in cold
storage … to be brought out on the Night of the Owls. Present,
5:24 pm ff.: Catwoman and Spark are staking out the Penguin to steal
the knife that he has that they need to make the set from last issue
complete. Of course, that inevitably brings a confrontation with the
Talon sent to assassinate Penguin … which just happens to be the
one who lost the knives in the first place. During the battle,
Catwoman perceives his damaged nature – similar to her own – and
sympathizes enough to leave his corpse for Batman respectfully with
the complete set of knives after Penguin has managed to blow its
brains out. But Penguin acknowledges his debt to Catwoman – which
I'm sure will come back sooner rather than later.
“Capture”
The
Legion has been stretched thin with the threat of the returned Fatal
Five and so forth. Brainiac 5 is obsessing over the post-Flashpoint
closure of Time Travel, but Harmonia is discouraging him from
pursuing it. Mon-El checks on Takron-Galtos that Validus is still
incarcerated (what exactly is the status of Validus these days? –
any connection with the Ranzz-Ardeen twins?). Brainiac 5 and Dream
Girl are abducted by a Dominion raid, but then the Legionnaires find
themselves forbidden by the United Planets from mounting a rescue
because there is no conclusive evidence that this was an act by the
Dominion government itself. Star Boy quits the team in anger, vowing
to rescue them himself.
A
couple of observations: On page 4, Francis Portela draws Dream Girl
in a very Mike Grellish martial arts pose. – I imagine this is not
the first time Ultra Boy misjudges the timing of his switch from
strength to invulnerability in mid-punch – “Gotta time this.
One-Two-Three – power
switch!
… [WHAM]
… Damn – Close but not quite. Sore knuckles and a broken bone”
– but I don't remember such a point being made of it.
“Leviathan,
Part One: Demon Star”
Grant
Morrison is back! – on the last arc of what will by the time it
ends be a seven- or eight-year saga. At least that's what he says,
and given the fact that he's now more focussed on Superman –
I think he's probably being truthful except for possible individual
stories. It has been a ride.
Exactly
how this fits in with what went before, pre-Flashpoint, is
anybody's guess. How much of the first run of Batman,
Incorporated, even of that
last special issue that came out post-Flashpoint but was
in-your-face pre-Flashpoint continuity, carries over has been
a
point of debate/contention that ultimately will only be resolved
by what we see here unfolding on the page. Really, it's all up for
grabs. Well, whatever Morrison decides to grab!
Anyway:
How to summarize? Talia's put a bounty on Damian, and a small-time
hood seemingly collects – but now needs to join Leviathan because
Batman's hot on his trail. There are references to Batman's coming
back from the dead – in those terms – as well as Damian's time
with Dick Grayson. The Dead Heroes Club that Batman has assembled in
secret, off the radar, to thwart Leviathan includes Batwing.
So when does this take place? Typically, the issue begins with a
cryptic scene set one month in the future, when an obviously broken
Bruce Wayne standing in a rainy cemetery, ordering Alfred to “Tell
the others it's over.... … Batman. … All of it. … This
madness is over.” Whereupon they find themselves surrounded
and what may be Commissioner Gordon declaring, “Bruce
Wayne! … You're under arrest! … Hands in the air!”
“The
Others, Chapter Three”
Black
Manta attacks Prisoner, a soldier on a US base in Germany who seems
to be able to channel his old battalion's abilities and psyches –
which torment him. He's obviously a member of the Others. In the
Amazon Rainforest, Aquaman and Ya'wara fight off an attack, she
demonstrating ability to control jungle animals like Aquaman does sea
life – but to different sound effects. They discuss the need to
run down the other Others.
Meanwhile,
Mera is interrogating Shin. He tells her that he helped Tom and
Arthur Curry to understand Arthur's abilities, but was rebuffed when
he wanted to go public with his findings. He had therefore allied
himself with Manta in order to get a sample of Arthur's blood. Tom
Curry died of a heart attack during the attack, however – and
Arthur killed Manta's father in retaliation.
I
doubt that's really what happened, but if each party believes that's
the case, it's a rather nifty inversion of the old history where the
enmity between Aquaman and Black Manta became a blood feud when Manta
murdered Arthur Jr., Aquababy (the whole 1970s saga is reprinted in
last year's Aquaman: Death of the Prince).
“Secrets
& Lies”
In
a sequence that again seems more like the old Superman than we've had
in a while, Superman saves a Russian submarine from sinking. Of
course, it seems that the sub contains some secret that causes the
Russian officers to rather rudely send Superman on his way. Clark is
challenged by Lois on why he's been incommunicado of late. She also
rejects a blogger's claims to have proof of Superman's secret
identity. Said blogger manages to get Morgan Edge to air the claims
anyway. Superman is fighting a new villainess (? – I assume) named
Anquish when he sees his identity revealed publicly on TV to be –
Spence Becker – !?
“Night
of the Owls: I Can No Longer Be Broken”
Wow!
David Finch actually pencilled the interiors this time. (Last issue
he didn't, remember – and still had his name prominently on the
cover.) I guess when he did this issue's cover, however, he must
have been under the impression that Red Robin was finally going to
have a part in a Batman tale. Uh … no. His appearance in a
single panel at the end of the book – literally at the end of the
Night of the Owls – looks like an afterthought insertion to me,
maybe to justify using the cover. If so, it fails.
10:55
pm: We see mayoral candidate and Bruce's friend Lincoln Marsh kill
the Talon who has fatally stabbed him, a scene which picks right up
in one of the earlier books. Here it is followed by the flashback
story of the Talon that killed Marsh, a Talon that had grown old and
sloppy, and had been retired after encountering a giant bat years ago
(Batman – why would he not remember this earlier encounter?),
inspiring fear in the undead killer. As they say in the movie,
however, Lincoln kills the Talon only mostly dead – it revives in
time to see Batman again, and this time to realize he's just a man.
They fight, the Talon is defeated – but escapes into a sewer....
“The
Black Room”
A
new team, a new direction, and as it says on the cover, “new
threats!” Overall, the effect is, oddly enough for a book
titled “Dark,” a somewhat brighter feel. It definitely is a more
straightforward story.
Constantine
leads the group now, at the behest of Steve Trevor and ARGUS (i.e., for the promise of access to the Black Room), against
Felix Faust to recover a new magical artifact. His companions are
Zatanna and Deadman, with the addition of Andrew Bennett the Vampire
and Black Orchid, the latter explicitly ARGUS's agent to keep
Constantine honest. It is ARGUS that has already dubbed them the
“Justice League Dark.” In the end, it turns out the artifact
Faust had acquired was a tesseract – better known as The Books
of Magic. I maybe need to go back and finally read that Neal
Gaimon trade paperback I've had for several years but never gotten
around to.
“The
Culling, Part 4: If This Be Victory – !”
It
turns out that because of the Notes wipeout, this is the only chapter
of “The Culling” I'm giving any in-depth attention to. Actually,
it doesn't matter. I think this is the only one that makes any
difference – if any do, since was there really any doubt that the
various groups would emerge from the experience more or less intact?
In Parts 1-3, basically you had a running battle getting the players to where they are now. In this issue, while
the Teen Titans continue to battle Harvest to give her time, Caitlin Fairchild
manages to escape with a group of the imprisoned metahuman teens, and the
time-lost Legionnaires manage to overload the Power Sphere and blow
up the Crucible. The Legionnaires escape the blast in a Time Bubble
that Gates had found in one of the other parts. The Titans escape by
burrowing downward and then back up to emerge on what seems like a
prehistoric island. Could be worse – they could have emerged under
a couple thousand feet of ocean! Harvest also escapes.
Who
or what Harvest is remains a mystery. He claims to be a human,
working for the greater good. He hints that he's from the 31st
century, and definitely uses that era's technology such as the Power
Sphere and the Time Bubble. … And it's pointed out to us again
that Yera is working toward a different agenda from her companions.
… One thing I think remains unanswered at the end is, where is
Skitter?
“First
Snow”
The
story, which substantially retcons the origin of Mr. Freeze while
paying homage to tradition, is bookended by sequences over thirty
years ago. In the first, the child Victor Fries' mother falls
through the ice on a frozen Nebraska lake.
Although
the title of the story does not carry the same interior title to
match the cover masthead, this is another “Night of the Owls”
event, beginning at 12:02 am. The Court of Owls stole Mr. Freeze's
technology. Freeze escapes Arkham, going to the Iceberg Lounge and
the Penguin to get guns, then off for revenge on the man who “stole
Nora,” the wife whose revival from suspended animation has been
Freeze's main motivation. He considers that man to be Bruce Wayne.
In another flashback to six years ago, we find out that soon after
his return to Gotham City (what does this do to his time-line? See
here for a deft solution) Bruce is wanting to get Waynetech out
of cryonics, threatening Fries' secret project to thaw Nora. In the
present, Freeze find's Nora's cryochamber, but there's something
wrong. Nightwing and Damian are waiting for him. They fight – is
this the first time Damian's encountered Freeze? Bruce calls Freeze
to the penthouse. In flashback, sometime after the previous one,
Bruce confronts Fries over his secretly maintaining the Nora project,
precipitating the accident which created Mr. Freeze. My initial
reaction at this point was that Bruce was being incredibly callous,
but wait.... It turns out that Nora Fields was already in cryonic
suspension before Fries ever “met” her – she was the subject of
his doctoral thesis and became his obsession to the point that he
created the fantasy: “Mr. Freeze out to save his dying wife
from the cruel businessman who took her away. … But we both know
that's a farce, Victor. She's old enough to be your
grandmother, for God's sake.” He's really in love with the Cold.
Then Batman infuses Freeze's armor with the compound stolen and
tested by the Owls – which begins thawing him.
In
the closing flashback, we see that Victor's mother had not died in
the lake, but suffered severe brain damage. And some time later,
Victor wheeled her through a hole in the ice of that same lake, to
drown.
Excellent story.
Excellent story.
Digital
“Children
of Destiny”
Caitlin
Fairchild and the kids from the Crucible emerge in Alaska. Well, I
think that's what it says. But haven't other comics located it in
the Antarctic? <Sigh of exasperation> Anyway, the
group immediately starts fragmenting. And Rose Wilson is chasing
them, almost immediately killing the first couple that break off.
Caitlin promises those who stay with her that she'll do everything
she can to make things right with them. But when they encounter a
group of refugee guards who also escaped the destruction of the
Crucible, the abused metahuman kids attack and almost kill them.
Caitlin manages to talk them down, just in time for Rose to show up.
Caitlin and company escape by taking a suicidal plunge....
I
was surprised, after reading reviews even worse than the one linked
here, that I actually kind of liked this. I'm going to keep getting
it digitally, at least for now. … I find it interesting that the
metahuman teen called Lightning, who has a brother called Thunder, is
named Ayla, especially given the other 31st-century connections that
there were in “The Culling.”
“Hurry
Down Doomsday (The Bugs Are Taking Over)”
Several
weeks after the previous issue, Andrew Bennett and his army of
vampires are encamped in Utah, subsisting on cattle. On one of his
runs into town to purchase cattle for his army, Andrew has an
altercation with the locals, who think something weird is going on.
“Some people're saying y'all are vampires. … You're
probably more the 'Twilight' kind than the '30 Days of Night' kind,
though, huh?” Whereupon a perfect comeback is missed. Andrew
should have responded, “I don't sparkle, do I?”
Instead, we get, “There's no such thing as vampires. … Besides,
look – the sun's up and I'm not on fire.” Anyway, his
followers are getting restless living on cattle. He challenges any
of them to try to supplant him. Mary takes him up.
Also,
the professor and Tig have made their way to the castle of the Van
Helsings, and the issue ends with them all winging toward Utah.
Now
that we're past the crossover, which I didn't enjoy as much, this
issue returns to the quality of the earlier issues, which I liked
surprisingly much. I think this title is quite underappreciated. I
fear it won't be around for long – Andrew already has popped up in
this month's Justice League Dark.
I'm
not sure I'm going to always include this in my write-ups, but I do
want to bring notice to it this time. This is a kids' title,
replacing the much-loved Tiny Titans which I found to be a
delightful romp through an amalgamated DC Universe through the eyes
of children, which I always described as “Peanuts with super
powers.” It's written and drawn by the same team, Art Baltazar and
Franco, but there's a different feel to it. I wonder if it will
catch on to the same degree? There are not as much of a chance for
off-the-wall DC references, since there will be more truly
plot-driven stories, as here.
Lex
Luthor attempts to sap Superman's powers into his battle suit, but in
battle with Superman, Supergirl, Superboy, and Krypto he only
succeeds in sapping part of the superdog's powers into his own pet
mouse – which turns against him, creating a new super pet. It's a
light, quick read that I'll continue getting digitally.
“Guardian”
We
get something of a continuation of the “alien = bad?” story that
I'm really getting tired of in DC and Smallville
of late. Ollie and Chloe are checking the site of the crashed
“alien” ship, finding it to be manufactured by Queen Industries –
which is the first Ollie knows of it. I get the impression it's
really from the future. Lois visits the wife of Hank Henshaw who is
keeping vigil over his ravaged body. The wife blames Superman
(another trope I find a bit tiresome). Superman visits Luthor and
finds himself maneuvered into appearing as the bad guy, wanted for
questioning by General Lane. There's a confrontation over
Metropolis, and Lois gets caught in the crossfire, Superman barely
saving her right in front of her father. Luthor continues his
debates with Tess, claiming he knows how to be rid of her. But he
needs to test the procedure first – which he is going to do on
Henshaw, transferring his consciousness into a robot body. As they
continue searching for who or whatever came down in the ship, Chloe
and Ollie talk, then realize there's someone with them. When Henshaw
realizes what Luthor has done to him, he goes berserk and this triad
of issues ends with him lifting Lex off the ground by his throat,
“Why . Did . You . Do . This . To . Me ?!” And Prof. Hamilton
calls Superman....
