Anyway, Superboy is one of my favorites, and since it is ending, I do want to talk about it. I really liked the approach to Superboy. He didn't go from test-tube weapon to trying to live a country-boy life. It went from test-tube alien to super vigilante to a god-like being. Basically, in the last issue Superboy meets another Superboy from another universe and they are in a pocket universe that they created only to be interrupted by ANOTHER Superboy. Yeah, it gets a little confusing especially since they go back from their pocket universe and bring a whole bunch of other Superboys from other universes. Also turning Kon's friends into what they would be in other universes including the Rose Wilson's Ravager! Things get pretty crazy in this issue and series. It makes me sad that it's ending. Though, it is confusing. When other universes are involved it always gets so confusing! Anyway, It's two Superboys and their altered friends against an army of Superboys that can be controlled by the craziest and super blood-thirsty Superboy.
Are you keeping up? I'm barely keeping up.
However, does Superboy of this new 52 earth become successful in defeating the evil Superboy? Even after the end, I feel like it's two simple and there's another twist to this.
Next is New Suicide Squad. The Russians are always up to something... Even in comics! The Suicide Squad has another impossible mission where they are supposed to see what the Russians are up to, they find out the hard way of course. The Russians created these Rocket Reds designed to go up against the Superheroes of America. The Rocket Reds are only a problem on top of their problems that they already have as a team. Deathstroke goes out and does his own thing and the Joker-lovers are still hating each other. Typical cat fight. You got to love it. I still don't know how sanitary that Joker face is...
While they slowly figure out how to be a team in all the chaos, is it too late to save their butts? Well we'll find out five years into the future in Futures end! The only thing I'm looking forward to with all these Future's End issues is FINDING OUT WHY SUPERMAN IS WEARING A MASK!
Also, I forgot to post a movie Monday, but Batman: Assault on Arkham is out on DVD now! It came out yesterday, but it was on iTunes before then so I watched it. So good! I'll try to have a full review on it sometime. Read the comic and the book since it came out on the same week! Even if the only similarities in the teams are Harley Quinn and Deadshot. Though, movie Deadshot looks so much like an animated version of Arrows Deathstroke. Also! it's always interesting to see how Amanda Waller is portrayed. If you were hoping Waller was gonna be the hottie she was in Arrow.... Think again!
Then, I got Nova Special #1, and I thought I'd be able to follow something of Nova since it's just starting and I originally didn't follow Nova. But I was wrong! Oh so wrong... I don't know why they couldn't have put this series SOMEWHERE ELSE! It makes absolutely no sense. It's a number one issue, but part three of a story arc... This is why people do not like Marvel. They trap you with these Number Ones, but they trick you and try to make you buy the other parts happening in other series. I should pay attention before I buy something like this again...
I will admit that I opened it up, hoping that I would catch on, but I didn't. So I out it back down after the first few pages. If you have the other parts of the story, then I guess you should pick it up. If not don't get it. This is what happened when I try to get into a marvel book. I'll just stick to Star Lord and Loki.
Also out this week is Batman and Original Sin! I can't wait to see what happens after the super good Zero Year!
Sorry to say but I was a tad bit disappointed by Assault on Arkham. The voice acting was nowhere near as bad as Justice League War but close. I did like the fact that Gustavo Fring was in it though.
