Action Comics Annual #11

DC Comics
Johns, Donner & Kubert

The long overdue finale of the Last Son arc finally hit stands. Sure, the easy thing to do would be to drone on and on about how late it was and how DC added insult to injury by upping the price by two thirds. I could easily talk about how all of this detracts from the story and maybe even the industry as a whole. Nope. I’m not going to do it. This issue was fantastic from start to finish.

Green Lantern #30
DC Comics
Johns, Reis & Albert

The second issue of the Secret Origin arc. I loved a couple of things in this issue. However, there are one or two items in here that I absolutely did not like. That isn’t to say this is a bad issue. It is not, it’s a very good one. However, as a Green Lantern fan I was a little put off with some of the material and as a long time Green Lantern fan I was a little upset with the continuity aspects of the issue. It’s up to you to decide if you find these items annoying or not.

DC Universe #0
DC Comics
Morrison & Johns with many, many artists

Why am I reviewing this? Not for it’s content, really, but for its intentions of getting people psyched up for the future arcs. This issue takes a quick lap around some of the major hitters in the DC Universe to see what’s up for the next few months or year. Some of stories I was already going to follow and some of it I wasn’t planning on at all. This issue pulls me more in a good direction than a bad one.

For DC Comics, March was another slack month in the periodical business. More than ten ongoing titles were slated for cancellation across the publisher’s various lines, and numerous finite projects were in their final stages, with new ones waiting around the corner to replace them over the next several months. There were no major new releases in the DC Universe line of mainstream superhero titles in March, but DC suffered from late books again. With Action Comics, Batman and Justice Society of America, three of the company’s major titles failed to come out. The fact that sales of both the average DC Comics periodical and the average DC Universe periodical were the lowest they’d been in more than three years didn’t come as a great surprise, consequently. Over a five-year period, though, both averages remain slightly up.
