Did anyone catch Gotham this week?! Awesome right? Simple detective work mixed with the origins of the people in the batman universe comes to TV. So different from any other Batman related TV show. Sadly no KAPOW and glittery cat woman suits. The show is like Detective Comics before Batman was created... That's because IT IS! Haha.
Anyway enough about the show, let's get to the comics! I have touched on any Marvel comics in a while. Though, so far in the Marvel universe they ended Original sin and they are jumping straight into AXIS! So far we have a non-super soldier Captain America, an axe wielding Thor (and lady Thor, her own series out next month) a SUPERIOR Iron man! and many other shenanigans changing in the Marvel universe. At least they used Original Sin to do something! Anyway, stepping away from the usual faces of Marvel, and going to one of my favorite characters... Loki!
What we know from Loki from Original Sin (comes with recap in the beginning for you as well) is that he assist Thor in finding the Tenth realm of the angels to find their long lost sister. In between that, Loki becomes a woman (just in case you wanted to know) and double crosses the angels. Now that OS is done, we come MARCHING to Axis. One of the most annoying things about Marvel is the many cross overs. Though, I guess it works for them cause it sells comics! People must know what happens in EACH marvel event one after the other!
Anyway, the story starts in Latveria with Doctor Doom and he is scared that Loki will destroy his future. Or is that just an illusion made by old Loki. Teen Loki is currently confused because Doctor Doom kidnapped him. Now it's like they're playing chess. Not much to say, except construction workers are gong crazy!
In futures end, we have learned that Superman is actually Shazam! Now will we find the answers we have been looking for in Superman Futures End? As we already know, Lois lane cracked the story of Shazam being superman, now she wants to know why. Though, I don't know how Lois Lane can write a whole article on unjust knowing who is behind the mask! I took journalism, writing a lot of stuff with little facts is hard!
We also know that due to the war, something crazy happened to superman and it was catastrophic that he has to be a farm boy in a foreign country and now flying around in capes and tights. So basically, we still know nothing. Maybe after a few more issues of Futures End we will know the answer. After all, they are finally revealing small parts of what happened in the war.
I haven't read Earth 2 Futures End yet, but from the recent Futures End you see Earth 2 heroes trying to help the world they came to for refuge instead of being the cause of it. Though, the public needed someone to blame for the war. Also, we know how Tim Drake survived, but will he get his girl back? Hopefully, in the next issue of Futures End they have more on the Superman case that Lois Lane doesn't have.... Yet.
If you aren't yet, I still recommend that people pick up The weekly title Futures End. It's such a good story, I don't know if they are gonna have a graphic novel. I haven't seen it yet, but it's just really good. Also, this issues Futures End is laid out differently than the rest. This comic focused on one part, the Green Arrow story, instead of having a few pages of each different story line. It's a ice break from the usual. I also liked Supermans Futures End. It's not too out there that you wonder why this is even a part of the Futures End story line, but it has the feel of a one shot still.
Well until next time, up up and awayyyyyyyy.
