Comics this week

DC Universe Online: Legends #12- With the DC Online game being in trouble, it’s good to see that at least the comic series based on the game is doing well. On the face of things, not much happened in this issue but writers Marv Wolfman and Tony Bedard subtlety laid the groundwork for the future. Why was Superman not on Earth during the beginning of the hero/villain war? How did Brainiac managed to play Lex Luthor for a fool? This issue is ground zero for the answers to those questions.

Green Lantern: War of the Green Lantern Aftermath #1- On the whole, the “War of the Green Lanterns” was one of the better comic book events of the year. Things happened during the war that changes everything about the Green Lanterns so an aftermath issue or two is in order. There were a few scenes about all the new Green Lanterns as well as fallout from the death of Mogo at the hands of John Stewart. However the main point of interest in this issue is Sinestro. Neither Sinestro nor the rest of the GLs want him to be back as a Green Lantern but the Guardians (quite rightfully) want to take their time making the decision. And to think; we haven’t even reached the Hal Jordan issue yet.
