Wonder Woman 22 coverWonder Woman #22 – “Through Destiny’s Door” – George Perez/Bob McLeod

This one starts on Themiscyra, with Diana reading the official tally of votes about whether to open up Themiscyra to outsiders or not. The majority of Amazons voted yes, so that means outsiders will be coming to Paradise Island for the first time in centuries (including males), and some of the Amazons aren’t thrilled with that idea. We get a brief interlude showing some kind of metallic ball heading through space towards Earth. Continue reading “Comics Reviews: Wonder Woman 22, Firestorm 77, Warlord 132”

This one starts at Legion headquarters, where everyone is still reeling from Brainiac 5’s sudden departure last issue to return to his home planet of Colu.

Guy’s an arrogant prick again—and he went after Lobo. Continue reading “Comics Reviews: Justice League International 19, Young All-Stars 18”

Batman 425 coverBatman #425 – “Consequences” – Jim Starlin/Mark Bright/Steve Mitchell

This one starts with Bruce Wayne opening a letter that was left at police headquarters addressed to Batman. It’s from Jose Garzonas (whose scumbag son died “accidentally” last issue in close proximity to Robin) and contains a photo of Commissioner Gordon tied up in a junkyard. Garzonas wants Batman to “bring the boy”, meaning he obviously thinks Robin killed his son and wants to even the score. Continue reading “Comics Reviews: Batman 425, Detective 592, Green Arrow 10”
