There wasn't a lot of books that I follow enough to cover this week. And, I stopped following Batgirl. I was too far behind in her story anyway.  So, I think it is time to catch up on my favorite weekly title,  Futures End. I kind of regret stopping Batman Eternal since I have heard from so many people that the title is getting better. Kind of sad that I don't follow it.

I just kind of want to know about this new masked vigilante I saw in the preview book a while ago. Her sketches went across the internet saying she might be a new Nightwing... but thankfully she has her own name. I believe her name is Blue bird or something. Correct me if I am wrong. 

Anyway, lets get this show on the road.
Futures end starts off really strong, first coming out as a Free comic book day issue with number 0. I've loved it since.  There are five or so different stories running along together. We have Firestorm's issue with not wanting to be a hero anymore because one wants something different from the other, and Batman has to come into town just to play daddy for all the superheroes. Thats right... Batman ia the dad of the DC universe. Though, Kyle or Tim's girlfriend or ex-girlfriend gets kidnapped, crossing the paths of Firestorm, the former Red Robin, and Terry McGinnes Batman who believes that only Red Robin can help him. Though, Firestorm is now a woman using Red Robin's girlfriend as the main host, and Ronnie the original host is dead. Even though she is the new Firestorm she can't seem to get out of being Firestorm and splitting from Jason. Since Madison, Red Robin's girlfriend, can't split from Firestorm, she is assumed dead since the lab accident.
Deathstroke is dead now. He was just going to try to kill Oliver again after he already faked his death by Deathstroke originally. But he is not dead. Lois Lane meets Earth 2 Lois Lane long enough to see her die.

With Deathstroke dead Fifty Sue has gone... CRAZY. Mini-Deathstroke? In this issue, it is as if she is talking to Brother Eye. Since it was revealed that Deathstroke was doing work on his own to try to get off the island and get rid of his companions, she wanted revenge. Now she has gone off the deep end. Creepy. The next issue has Fifty Sue in a new costume, wearing Deathstroke's mask. How does she even fit that mask?

Superman goes from the middle of nowhere to the middle of nowhere... in the cold, Siberia. He finds Brother Eye trapped in a bear... at least we want to think it's a bear. With this encounter, this might bring Superman home. All thanks to Constantine. 

Now, Futures End leaves you with a new villain that also hates the Justice League and is equally crazy... probably very radioactive too. Then, S.H.A.D.E. releasing Godzilla-like creatures. 

With Fifty Sue going off the deep end, and Lang and Grifter finally getting off the island. Fifty Sue and companies' story can FINALLY MOVE ON. Her story was so boring... I'm sure people agree with me. It seemed like it was going somewhere important at first, then it stayed in the same place forever... It was Fifty Sue communicating with brother Eye and Gilligan's Island staring Deathstroke, Grifter, and Lana Lang. Though, what now? Is she going to try to kill people? 

Terry McGinnis needs to get a move on with trying to save the Future. Stop eating pizza and get some work done! Yeah, it's cute that you have a thing for a girl in the past, but she is gonna end up trying to kill you as some Brother Eye cyborg thing if you don't do anything. 

Also, I don't like the whole Hawkman with Engineer kind of thing. I love the original origin of Hawkman and Hawkgirl being reincarnated lovers. Just let Engineer help save the world. 

Also, Geoff Johns announced on Twitter that the new Teen Titans TV show will have it's pilot filmed NEXT YEAR. Yay. It is also announced that the show will be centered around Dick Grayson... YES. Anyone who knows me knows how EXCITED THAT IT IS NOT TIM DRAKE. Love it!

New Comic Wednesday: Holo-Awkward

Happy be-lated Thanksgiving, comic collectors! Did everyone catch the new Star Wars Trailer? Did anyone else think you were getting pranked in the first few seconds. I did. It's not racist... I just saw a meme before I watched the trailer. So I thought it was fake. Thankfully it wasn't. Anyone who hates the lightsaber needs to watch the Colbert Report. Also, the Millennium Falcon is as beautiful as ever. 

Time for another installment of CJ's fave comic hotties! That's a long title... anyway, if you don't know what that means it is the week with both Grayson and Legendary Star-Lord! Grayson has been doing his job as a spyral spy and we know that Grayson's face is basically altered, so no one can tell the former boy wonder and dark heir is alive. Convenient isn't it? I wonder if the bat family could even see him. Maybe I see that in Grayson's future? 

In this issue Grayson goes through the desert holding a baby. For days with limited food and water, Grayson carries a baby with an important body part the organization is after. But Grayson won't let them hurt the baby, will he? He will save the baby from the desert and spyral. The lady was wrong... Grayson is not just a man!

I want an explanation for the organs. Are organs transferable through birth? There are so many things I do not understand. Also, I can't wait till the annual comes out because I am dying to know who Helena is. 

Now, time for Star-Lord's date. Kinda... I think it's kind of awkward how Kitty is on a holo-date... she even wore skates even when she wasn't really skating... and how do you go to second base with a hologram? Weird. Anyway, I love the suit. I mean who doesn't... it's very Dumb and Dumber. But even with the efforts of Star-Lord trying to keep the Holo-date work free, but not awkward free, he still gets captured by the Slaughter Squad. Le sigh. Now, its Kitty to the rescue... my least favorite X-men. 

Now, who didn't see the identity of Mister Knife coming? I saw it. It's depressing really... when things seem obvious. 

Also out this week, Angela: Asgard's Assassin. Now, I will admit that I didn't read the last part of Original Sin: Thor and Loki, so I might be a little lost at first, but I'm sure I will catch up. Stay tuned for more stuff. 

New Comic Wednesday: Chaos, insanity, and more chaos and insanity!

Superboy is ending! I'm almost as depressed as the day Nightwing ended. Only, Superboy is pretty much in nothing else.... What am I gonna do?! It's also similar to when Blue Beetle ended. Well, they are still gonna have Superboy be a part of Futures End. It makes no sense to me. They are just renumbering it to Futures End: Superboy #1. Are they pulling a Marvel? Or are all the Futures Ends going to be marked as "number one." 

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!
