DOOMSDAY CLOCK #9 DC COMICS
Finally, some substance, some cameos, and some interesting face offs. While Earth seems to be one step away from total chaos, the heroes of Earth fly to Mars to confront Doctor Manhattan. With cameos galore including some of the Metal Men, a spaceship full of Charlton Heroes (oh the irony!) and my personal favorite, Robby Reed in his Human Starfish persona from Dial H for Hero! We also get to see the reactions of various attacks on the big nude blue man. From the power of the Green Lanterns, to magic, to Firestorm and Captain Atom each attack has different effects and consequences. All of this provides for an interesting read. However, there is still two key points which is infuriating. First, why is Manhattan messing around with the DC Universe? And second, when did Professor Martin Stein become a total d@ck!? PS When are we gonna get the JSA back?! I give it an 8 out of 10 Grahams.
ATHENA VOLTAIRE #7 ACTION LAB COMICS
More Indiana Jones/Tomb Raider excitement from Action Lab as we enter into chapter 3 of the Golden Dawn story. As our friends fly to Tibet to stop the Nazis, the Nazis make plans not to be stopped. And in true cliffhanger format, Des, Athena, and Nightengale are left clinging to a rock! Plus, as an added bonus, we get a vintage homage cover based on a certain X-Men cover but much cooler as we get some cameo headshots of The Spirit, Rocketeer, Doc Savage, Airboy, and more! This is a wonderful quiet title that needs more attention. If you own a well worn copy of Raiders of the Lost Ark of dvd, you should be reading this book! I give it a 9 out of 10 Grahams.
