THE HONOR ROLL: May 25, 2016 Releases

What a week for controversy, entertainment and great comics. We have some great picks for you filled with wonderful spoilers. Let’s get to it!

DC: UNIVERSE REBIRTH #1 – James Kaplan

I thought about other comics, but this was the biggest, most important issue that came out this past week. Is it part of a marketing blitz and an effort to win back lapsed fans? Sure. However, it’s also a necessary course correction, and a pretty fun and entertaining comic. I was never a huge DC comics fan growing up, but the things I enjoyed about DC comics – family, legacy, relationships – these are the things that were lost with the creation of the new 52. DC has realized this, and they found an in-story way to address it. I thought this was a fun, interesting story that holds a lot of promise for what’s to come. This book is full of engaging, entertaining art, I was particularly happy to see pages from Gary Frank. And oh yeah, at the conclusion of the story, you realize that DC is in fact doing something risky and ambitious and kind of crazy, and I’m excited to see where it goes.

DC UNIVERSE: REBIRTH #1 – Scott Keys

DC Universe: Rebirth #1 was everything that I wanted and more! The way Geoff Johns was able to weave 80 years of DC history back into the DCU was masterful! Yes, having Wally West return was amazing, but the best part was the return of legacy and hope to the DCU!
