However, Black Adam #1 from writer Priest and artist Rafa Sandoval may become the most intriguing new take on the character since his debut as a Captain Marvel villain way back in 1945. Rating: 4.5 out of 5 BLACK ADAM #1 Īll eyes are on Black Adam at DC Comics this year with the character set to debut on the big screen in October and played by none other than Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. I truly and unabashedly love Batman: The Knight – and you probably will, too. Carmine di Giandomenico's art is bursting at the seams with energy and brutality, while evoking the timeless energy that this series needs. Chip Zdarsky's script perfectly threads the needle between what's expected and what's inspired, in a way that I feel like will reverb into other Batman stories going forward. As Bruce begins to learn marksmanship under his latest mentor, the topic of his moral compass and allegiances is thrown into the forefront in an epic and emotional way. Evan Valentineīatman: The Knight continues to be one of the most dynamic and genuinely surprising Batman stories on the stands today. World's Finest has captured the best aspects of superhero storytelling and condensed them into an amazing series that can be recommended to anyone. On the surface, a fusion between Superman and Batman who has the powers of Green Lantern might sound ridiculous, but it's told so organically that it completely works and helps move the story along like a freight train. What Waid and Mora have created here is perhaps the most fun superhero story that I've read in years, gloriously diving into the big characters of the DC Universe while also adding in ideas which, on paper, sound completely ludicrous but work amazingly well here. Rating: 4 out of 5 BATMAN/SUPERMAN: WORLD'S FINEST #4 The only real hiccup here is that there are times when orienting yourself as the reader takes a moment, but it's a solid start to what feels like a truly intense (in the best way) series. Vasco Georgiev's art is really good and there is a lot of emotion, particularly in the character faces but the real winner here is Rain Beredo's colors. They particularly do a great job of balancing the very different personalities between the two heroes and offering a story that conveys the confusion the heroes feel as well as just how bleak the situation is. The setup alone is solid, but Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly do an exceptional job of actually executing it. You have an unlikely heroic team up-Barry and Arthur have very different personalities, after all-and an exceptionally high-stakes situation that only the two of them seem to be in a position to do anything about. I will admit that I was extremely wary of Aquaman & The Flash: Voidsong #1 considering just how bad the recent Aquaman/Green Arrow series was, but Voidsong surprised me.
