Review of Dark Nights: Metal #1 from DC Comics by Scott Snyder, Greg Capullo, Jonathan Glapion and FCO Plascencia - as they rock out in the DCU!

The last son of Krypton, Superman, versus the wielder of the power of Shazam, Captain Marvel Or as they put it, Superman vs Shazam.

The charts are topped by Action Comics lenticular covers and Batman, but towards the bottom, retailers are reordering more copies of Calexit #2, #3 and #4.

With some encouragement from Rich Johnston and Mark Seifert, I've decided to take a look back at comics I've reviewed from time to time to analyze some interesting themes that they may share or conflict upon. This past week's Superman #28 and Batman #28 both look at war in a way They approach it in similar fashions,[...]

But neither is Superman, and that didn't seem to stop the page Sandberg posted on Twitter from what he called a perfect draft and tagged writer Henry Gayden in the tweet. The problem comes when you actually read the page he posted Either it's a complete fake or Warner Bros has decided to make a superhero[...]

Moreover, this particular entry sees the hero saving the day by convincing one of the biggest egotists of the DCU to think of other people and how important they are to him. Granted, it's baby steps; we're talking Lex Luthor here. Art by Juan Ferreyra We also get to see the growth of Green Arrow as a hero[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] I have yet to review a comic about Superman himself for Bleeding Cool Actually, even on my own site, I never talked about a Superman-specific comic It seems as good a time as any to remedy that, especially with the talk around Superman #28. I hadn't really listened to what it was about before reading[...]

Oz, who has been helping the Super-family from afar and also abducting various characters including Tim Drake and Doomsday.

Louise had also been an integral part of the Death of Superman storyline She said it was the success of these two stories that caused the businesspeople to not want the fun stories anymore, but to instead want the epic stories that make money.

The game will see new characters in Livewire and Cyborg Superman, among other changes. DC Legends will add electrical shock jock Livewire, and describes the character and her abilities like this, LIVEWIRE, SHOCK JOCK  [Energy] Livewire is not a fan of Superman and spent most of her DJ shows bashing his need to "show off." Lucky for her,[...]

These reshoots have also apparently been going on for at least two months, which starts to venture into the territory of just plain shooting the film rather than reshooting a couple scenes. Scheduling problems are arising with cast members Erza Miller (The Flash), who is reprising his role from Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them in the[...]

That said, the SyFy panel at San Diego Comic Con is the first place we've seen it through official channels, and now the folks at home can go ahead and enjoy the pre-Superman madness.

We have a really good look at Steppenwolf now, thanks again to toy spoilers. Be prepared to see a lot of gray onscreen this November.

Not so much so lately. Rather in a number of their titles, perhaps most notably the Superman and Titans titles, we have noticed elements of DC's New 52 continuity getting little tweaks and alterations, often to fit returning characters into it or explain changes in direction. Well, this scene towards the end of the issue (don't worry,[...]
