Comic Review: Batman Superman #1

Batman Superman #1

Batman Superman #1

DC Comics have released a new reincarnation of the Batman and Superman love hate relationship in the new Batman and Superman series. The story is penned by Greg Pak (Incredible Hulk/Incredible Hercules, World War Hulk, Magneto: The Testament) and drawn by Jae Lee (Dark Towers, Inhumans, Transformers/GI Joe Dreamwave).

The story begins with their early days as they struggle with the concept of being heroes as well as getting to trust and rely on each other. The story so far is well written and captivating. After reading the first issue, I was craving for more. The artwork is not the best I’ve seen from Jae Lee. His usual trademark dark, gritty tone does fit the theme and direction of the story but it is not as detailed as his previous work .

I would recommend reading this series for the fact that you would want to see two of biggest characters in the DC library together. They are basically the comic book version of the “ODD COUPLE”.  Could this series foreshadow what we could expect from the recently announced “Superman Batman” movie?

Planet Hulk

Planet Hulk

The Hulk is sent to another planet and is enslaved in gladiatorial games. This Mavel Comic title is written by Greg Pak (War Machine, Battlestar Galactica) and illustrated by Carlo Pagulayan (Elektra, Emma Frost).

Waking up in a spaceship the hulk listen’s to a recording. It explains that it’s to dangerous for everyone to have him live on Earth any more. He is being sent to a planet with no other humanoid life. Veering off course he crash lands on a planet called Sakaar. An obedience disk is forced upon the Hulk and he is put into slavery. Sent to an arena along with other slaves, they must fight for their lives in gladiator style games for the pleasure of the King and the people of Sakaar.

A perfect setting for the ferociousness of the Hulk. The artwork helps to show off this brand new planet, its people, wilderness and wildlife. If you enjoyed this comic check out the Planet Hulk animated movie.

Comic Review: World War Hulk

World War Hulk

World War Hulk

The Hulk has come back to earth and he is seeking revenge for the destruction of Sakaar. A Marvel series written by Greg Pak (Herc, Dead Man’s Run) and illustrated by John Romita JR. (Thor, Wolverine).

The Hulk is Back on planet earth and he is out for blood. He wants revenge against those who sent him to Sakaar and blew up the planet. One by one he hunts down the members of the Illuminati whom he holds responsible. Anyone who gets in his way, he makes into slaves, forced to fight each other in battle. It looks like the Hulk can’t be stopped.

Following Planet Hulk this series keeps up the quick pace from that comic. The destruction and brutality is intense and unrelenting. Can be read even without reading Planet Hulk.
