The Flash- I didn’t care mush for this one, not bad, but not great. Nothing really happened. Rating- meh

Captain Atom- Same as the flash. Nothing about it makes me want to continue. Rating- meh

Green Arrow- Yet again, this one wasn’t great. At least it had some decent action, but it just seemed pointless. Rgreat here either. Rating- meh

Mister Terrific- It wasn’t terrific, but it was good. We got back-story, a mystery, and a great cliffhanger. This series has potential, but we’ll see. Rating-hmmm

DC Universe Presents- This one was pretty good, and was centered on Deadman. I really like Deadman, so seeing how he’s actually being featured more is nice. A solid book. Rating- good

Batman- In this reboot, they’re are 4, yes 4 different Batman comics (Not spin-off characters), and this is the one I’d recommend. Scott Snyder knows batman, and the writing is really good. The mystery good, and the art good as well. This is one of the best of the relaunches. Rating- great

Detective Comics- not as good as Batman in anyway. Not bad, but no reason for it. Rating- meh

Batman: The Dark Knight-pointless. Completely. Rating- Pointless

Batgirl- Suffers from a few cliches, but Gail Simone is a really good writer, and it shows. Being someone who has always liked Oracle, I’m kind of disappointed that Barbara Gordan has went back to Batgirl. Still, a really good start, which I have high hopes for. Rating- great

Nightwing- Dick Grayson is one of my favorite DC characters, only surpassed by Bruce Wayne himself. Seeing him finally get his own comic as Nightwing and not Batman is nice. While this issue wasn’t amazing, it was pretty good. If you like Grayson, you’ll like this. Rating- good.

Green Lantern Corps- This was actually pretty good, but I’m not a big green lantern fan. Rating- hmm…

Green Lantern: New Guardians- didn’t care for it. Rating-meh

Static Shock- Static shock was mostly just set-up, but it was pretty good. It introduces the characters, and sets up the plot, and overall is pretty good. Rating-good

Blue Beetle- I like blue beetle a lot, but this issue wasn’t that great. It did set stuff up, but that’s it. No action or anything. The story does have some great potential, but thus just didn’t cut it. Rating- hmmm…

Grifter- Confusing, and not that great. Rating – meh

Deathstroke – just stupid. Rating- bleh

All-Star Western- If all you know about Jonah Hex is the crappy movie, you should get this so you can see just how awesome he really is. This is probably My favorite book of the new 52. Hex gets hired to solve a crime in the newly created town Gotham, and it’s really great. He’s a cowboy Batman. Rating- Amazing.

Justice League Dark- Weird. I like where it’s going, but this issue just seemed odd. Rating -weird.

Animal Man- Just look at his name, how good could it be? Answer, really good. I mean it, this book is just really well written. Rating – great

Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E. – I don’t know much about DC’s Frankenstein, but this book was good. It didn’t take itself to seriously, but at the same time, it had a good plot and the characters aren’t bad. Rating- good

I, Vampire- Boring. Before you accuse it of being like twilight, it’s not, so don’t. It’s just boring, but I like the Art style. And it looks like the plot may go somewhere. Might. Rating- boring.

Resurrection Man- Mitch Shelly won’t stay dead. Every-time he dies, he comes back to life with new powers. His soul is wanted apparently wanted by angels, and demons. Yes, everyone wants him dead for good. This book is going places, and I like it. With a gritty art style, a good protagonist, and a good plot, we have a winner. Rating – Great

So The Reboot has some good, some bad, and some terrible. We’ll see where it goes from here.

“From now on, ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.”
-Sir Winston Churchill

I love Churchill, and the only complaint I have against him is he’s British (I need at least one complaint). And of course, like most politicians, he has some great quotes. This is a quote sure to drive and grammar Nazi nuts, which is always fun. If you know any grammar Nazi’s, show them this quote.

“There are a terrible lot of lies going around the world, and the worst of it is half of them are true.”

I love contradictions, and this is a big one. Is it true, no, but yes. Figure it out yourself.

“An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.”

Hitler proved this was not true at all. Before world war 2, everyone tried to appease him, and look what happened. Moral of story, don’t feed the crocodiles, ever.

“For myself I am an optimist – it does not seem to be much use being anything else.”

But being pessimistic is more fun.

Operation Rainfall is trying to get Wii JRPs brought to America. The 3 games in question are Monolithsoft’s Xenoblade, Mistwalker’s The Last Story and Ganbarion’s Pandora’s Tower. The campaign for Xenoblade is going well, as it is the top selling game on amazon, and it hasn’t even been announced for America yet.

So join the cause, read over their blog, and get ready for a bunch of new(ish) content on this blog.

Sure, this is how Lord of the rings ends, but this blog is back! Again! Also, there will be a blog post every day this summer. And today we get this quote. And this new new song by Panic! and Fun. It’s awesome.

It’s already sold over 88,000 bundles, so get yours now!

A review of the games is coming soon…

Everyone knows CaveStory as it is a masterpiece. But Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor from Atlus is a bit less known, but also pretty awesome. And this remake adds a lot of new endings, so it will be worth picking up.

With updated Graphics, sound, and voice acting, Devil Survivor is a must buy 3DS game. If you own the original, it’s not a must, but otherwise it is.

In other news Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2 has been announced for the DS. Atlus is still making new games too…

Scorpia is back, albeit weak. However, they land a job that will bring them back into the forefront of the criminal world. They give the job to Razim, who comes up with a plan that will get them what they want, and will end up in Alex Rider dead. The first quarter of the book is all about how Scorpia is planing to manipulate MI6.

Scorpia’s plan works, and MI6 does exactly what they want. Alex is persuaded to go to a school in Cario to keep an eye on the new head of security, Eric Gunter. Gunter is indeed evil and planning an assassination, and will blame it all on Alex by using Alex’s clone to commit the murder. Yes, Alex has an evil clone. Alex does his spy stuff, but unlike other books, Alex is being manipulated the entire time. Sure, not everything was planned, but Alex was powerless for the first 300 or so pages.

However, like always, Alex defeats his enemies in the coolest ways. Killing Gunter with a Scorpion? Sending Razim into a pile of salt? And the way he disposed of his clone was pretty shocking.

The ending however was lacking. The end was meh. That’s all I have to say.

Scorpia rising was a solid Alex Rider book, but didn’t feel like a conclusion. It felt more like a lead up to a conclusion. Overall, it’s an Alex Rider book. Go read it.

8.5/10
