JUSTICE LEAGUE #26 DC COMICS
Ok, you are officially being given a *SPOILER ALERT*. Happy now, let’s move on. Truth be told, I haven’t been a fan of the Justice League for a very long time. I have definitely been against several decisions that have been taken by DC with their flagship team (I don’t care what anybody says Cyborg does not belong in the JL.) And I question the logic and science involving the secret of the Source Wall (how can a wall made up of former heroic entities hold back the Multiverse when the Multiverse is based on vibrations and the Flash is constantly dimension hopping? Shouldn’t the wall stop him from doing that?) But I digress. With this past week’s revelation that the JSA is to play a big part in the upcoming Justice League, I decided to get up to date. And what I got wasn’t the total train wreck I thought. First off however, Starman doesn’t die as the cover questions. In fact he’s at the new JL digs trying to access energies to help fight off the new better than the last best omnipotent being. The League’s visit to the House of Heroes reminds us of the natural humor that the old DC Universe was known for. The book is full of cameos that will make old fans giggle like schoolgirls (But couldn’t we get Scott Shaw and the gang back for that one panel with Captain Carrot?). The Multiverse has been put on alert but will it be enough? Cliffhangers abound and just which Luthor is the Martian Manhunter hunting? The stage is being set for the next ultimate battle. Worth the cost of admission. I give it a 7 out of 10 Grahams. 
SNOW WHITE & THE SEVEN DWARFS #1 DARK HORSE COMICS
With a nickname like “Doc” you know I’d have to review this one! Cecil Castellucci’s take on the classic story sticks pretty close to the classic animated feature and Gabriele Bagnoli’s artwork is both detailed and focused at the same time. It almost appears as if some of the main characters are standing in front of large overtly detailed panels. While I question why we need another take on the classic Disney fairy tale, it can’t be denied that is worth reading and savoring this art. For Disney fans of all ages. I give it a 9 out of 10 Grahams.
HOWARD THE DUCK #1 MARVEL COMICS
Nothing new here. How do I know, because I remembering buying this book from the drugstore when it first came out! This title was an amazing edition to my collection back then. Gerber and Brunner’s genius comes through in buckets. And this version just reminds us what that time period had to offer us. And along with the vintage original ads (Yes, I did have the Big Jim and Evel Knievel action figures), this one makes me yearn for what I once had. Weirdness and Nostalgia mixed into one big package with a Spider-Man cameo that made sure the book would sell. After you read this one, start hunting down the rest of the series in your favorite comic shop’s back issues because it only gets weirder from here. I give it a 10 out of 10 Grahams.
