When Lemire sneezes, ideas come out, and the pages of Frankenstein are the tissue.

Not content stuck with the one-person-per-comic approach to reviewing, Farley and Brendan decided to pool their brainwaves (or something) in order to review this week’s cosmic ring-related books: Green Lantern and Red Lanterns. Did this notion bear intellectual fruit? Read on…

Brendan meets the new squad, and finds them to be the same as the old squad. Someone should write a song like that.

Bat-books reviewed for the 2nd week of DC’s “New 52″! Farley bonds with Batman & Robin, and Brendan is gay for Batwoman.

I was hoping Men Of War might be the comic book equivalent of The Hurt Locker. It’s not, but writer Ivan Brandon has crafted something I wasn’t expecting.

If you’re looking for an imitation of The Authority there’s a pretty good one over at Marvel: it’s been going for a few years and it’s called The Ultimates.

If you want to read a comic book about a cocky and impossibly wealthy CEO who manipulates employees into making weapons for his personal war on doofuses who commit crimes, or if you really like gadgets, this version of Green Arrow is for you.

We take on 3 of the 7 Bat-books in the New 52! Theo flies with Batwing, Batgirl is in Brendan’s “wheelhouse”, and Farley investigates Detective Comics.

Static Shock has carved it’s niche market as the kind of fun, madcap, and carefree kind of story that the DC relaunch desperately needs.

Jeff Lemire has to work his way out from under the shadow of a giant, and he pulls it off.
