DC Reboot Week 4: Girl Power

This entry is part 4 of 5 in the series The New 52

Red Hood and the Outlaws #1

I’m a week late on this post thanks to some snag with my hosting service, an awesome weekend with the girlfriend and a relatively awesome couple of days working. But hey, there’s still time for me to rip into the fourth week of the DC Reboot so let’s get it on. As usual, let’s start with the YES group. I will definitely pick up the #2 issues of these books.

I Hate the Unaired Wonder Woman Pilot Because It’s Actually Not That Bad

I hate to admit it but I was wrong. I was one of those people who didn’t believe Adrianne Palicki would make a great Wonder Woman. I hated the teaser images with Palicki in costume. I didn’t believe Wonder Woman would translate well on TV without being corny and campy (sorry, Lynda Carter fans). I was wrong.

I still have so much hate for the tiara, though.

X-Factor Special: Layla Miller, Secret Invasion, Final Crisis, and Other Face-Rocking Comics

This entry is part 4 of 5 in the series New Comics Haul

I’ve been defying my limit of comic book purchases per week for the last 3 weeks, and it feels so good. I do expect to cut down on some of the titles after Secret Invasion and Final Crisis. I’m starting to really despise big “events”. Bah. Now, onto the reviews!

X-Factor Special: Layla Miller – This one-shot made me regret not picking up the Quicksilver special, thinking that it was just as awesome as this one. Peter David gives us a depressing but oftentimes funny peek into one possible future where Layla has been trapped since Messiah Complex, and it’s a very good read.
