Distinguished Critique: The Flash: Savage Velocity Review In updating the Flash legacy for the post-Crisis DC Universe, this volume is a misguided introduction to Wally West
Spider-view: The Infinity War This sequel to Jim Starlin's famous crossover bolsters the stakes yet lacks the character-driven narrative which makes Gauntlet a classic
Random Reviews: ShadowHawk: Out of the Shadows Review (The Image Review-lution, Part 5) A mediocre mystery offers some additional interest in a book about a Batman wannabe trying to figure out what kind of hero he is
Distinguished Critique: Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters Review Occasionally heavy-handed, Longbow Hunters successfully reintroduces Green Arrow to the post-Crisis DC landscape
Distinguished Critique: Millennium Review Millennium is divided on which story it wants to tell, and as a result, the whole series wobbles on a weak foundation
Random Reviews: WildC.A.T.S. Compendium Review (The Image Review-lution, Part 4) Jim Lee's Image Comics contribution has problematic pacing and vapid vocabulary, but it manages to tell a complete, compelling story
Crawling Back: Amazing Spider-Man #23 Review (The Osborn Prelude, Part 3) A strange development in the Green Goblin's history undermines an issue buoyed by some nicely maintained subplots
Distinguished Critique: Suicide Squad: Trial by Fire Review This volume capably introduces a different team of "heroes," applying strong characterization and unique stakes for a mainstream comic series
Distinguished Critique: Batman: Rules of Engagement Review This narrative uniquely sets the Dark Knight Detective against Lex Luthor, a battle of wits hampered slightly by a Batman too clever for his own good
Random Reviews: Savage Dragon: Baptism of Fire Review (The Image Review-lution, Part 3) While occasionally too quick and shallow, Erik Larsen's Savage Dragon starts off more competently than his fellow Image Comics compatriots
