Brightest Day #24- The buildup to this final issue had been great. The action and story of this bi-weekly series has been up and up for the past few issues and that is why I was so disappointed by this final issue. The big problem for this issue was that writers Geoff Johns and Peter Tomasi were more interested in setting up future storylines than wrapping thing up. Deadman, Firestorm, Hawkman, Aquaman; all their stories were unfinished. Yes I know Aquaman has a new regular series coming up but after 24 issues, I would like some closure for these characters; not the setting up of stories for their own series. There was no need for that as their regular series will swim or sink on their own. A disappointing finale after a promising final run-in.
X-23 #9- The first part of the X-23/Daken crossover was disappointing. However after that blip, things are looking up. Part 3 of the crossover has X-23 captured by Malcolm Concord and escaping after some help from Daken. As usual, this series works best when X-23 tears up people and then becomes conflicted by her actions. It might get old sometime in the future but right now, it works.
Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors #9- “War of the Green Lanterns” has thus far been the comic event of the year. Outside a blip in part 3, the event has been wonderful. Now we are back in Emerald Warriors and once again, there is another blip. In this issue, Hal, Kyle, John, and Guy flee from Mogo while trying to come up with a plan to free the Green Lantern Corps from Krona. The thing is that well…nothing happened! The status quo was maintained and even the spilt between the 4 Earth GLs was kind of expected. After the kinetic action of the past few issues, digging a tunnel under Oa is a letdown. This was not a bad issue, it just didn’t got to the heights of the issues before.
