In this column several SBC reviewers appraise the first month of DC's "One Year Later" event.
Keith Dallas An enjoyment of Annihilation: Prologue is contingent upon two matters: (1) an already established fascination with Marvel’s cast of “space opera” characters, and (2) an appreciation of Scott Kolins’ artwork.
“Torn” Michael Bailey Plot : The X-Men slowly begin to pick up the pieces of their lives as the Hellfire Club begins to put their ultimate plan in motion.
“Abraham of Ur, Part 1: Akedah” Bob Agamemnon Douglas Rushkoff and Liam Sharp’s Testament #1 suffers a bit from intellectual heavy-handedness.
“The Devil in Cell-Block D” Michael Bailey Plot : Matt Murdock is in prison.
“Superman’s Forbidden Room” Michael Bailey Plot : Superman takes Lois to the Fortress of Solitude for her upcoming birthday.
“Homecoming” Michael Bailey I thought of starting this review by making a bad pun involving Geoff starting this comic off with a bang, but I decided against it.
Ariel Carmona Jr.
“Dead a Long Time, Part 1” Ariel Carmona Jr.
