We had some problems with the story and we've come to have a certain appreciation for Romita Jr's artwork. Even given our concerns, there are some important things that happen in this issue and we're curious what will happen next.

Review of Superman 37
Jason Book (http://houseofjb.blogspot.ca) and I discuss the latest issue of Superman, by Geoff Johns and John Romita Jr. This is the Men of Tomorrow story arc (second chapter 5? I think it was supposed to be Chapter 6).

Review of Superman 36
Jason Book and I discuss the latest issue of Geoff Johns and John Romita Jr.'s run on Superman, the Men of Tomorrow story arc (first chapter 5).
This issue was a step up from the previous one and it is clearly giving us some "rising action" in the plot development. I'm especially curious about the true nature of Ulysses' offer to the Earthlings and the mysterious character who seems to be watching from afar in the previous issues. 36 also explores some important societal issues that are very timely.

Review of Constantine (S01:E01 - E03)
Jason Book and I discuss the first few episodes of Constantine, starring Matty Ryan and airing on NBC.
Overall, we are both pleased with the start of the show and the style of the main character. We would like to see some development of the secondary characters over the next few episodes. But it's some good stuff if you like mysticism and some angels and demons.

Review of Gotham (S01:E05 - E07)
Jason Book and I discuss some recent episodes of Gotham, focusing especially on Episode 7, "Penguin's Umbrella."
In short, Episode 7 was the best yet! Gordon gets to let loose and Falcone and Penguin rock the plot.
