Comic Book Candy

In an ongoing series for the Comic Vault blog , I will be reviewing one or more new releases each week (meant to post this one BEFORE the Flashpoint review). We're calling the series "It Must Be Wednesday", for obvious reasons! Here is a look at the recent review for Super Dinosaur #1 : "Wow. What a fun book! I know a genuine snap judgement like that might come across as sarcastic, but that reaction accurately sums up this new title from Kirkman and Howard. I wasn’t sold at first, as the hype made my expectations pretty high. Kirkman doesn’t disappoint with this action and intrigue packed debut issue."

Here's a look at my recent review for Flashpoint #1 , written by Geoff Johns with artwork by Andy Kubert (Spoilers: I really liked this first issue). It's also worth mentioning that since I wrote this review last week, this issue has sold out from DC and will be going to a second print. Get it while you can!: "Have you picked up Flashpoint #1 yet? Have event fatigue? Planning to wait for the trade? Were you confused / uninterested by the concept? None of these are sufficient excuses to skip this latest DC mini. It’s actually really good. If I sound surprised that’s because I too was reluctant to pick up another “what if / alternate scenerio / not-quite-but-kind-of-an-Elseworlds” book. After finishing this first issue I’m still not entirely sure how the alternate universe came to transpire, but in this case not knowing is totally okay."
