Led by the mysterious figure known only as The King, a ragtag team consisting of Green Arrow, Lois Lane, Talia al Ghul, Steve Trevor, The Question, Manhunter, and Director Bones seek to reestablish Checkmate and take down Leviathan.
This week, Greg and Michael head back and finish up the second half of House of M. We also talk about the state of House of M and a Sandman Audio book.
We talk about the return date for Marvel comics, some digital only announcements, how to eat Murder Hornets, and, of course, the first part of House of M.
Leviathan has swept the DC Comics universe. The heroes stopped it once, but it’s back to restructure the world in Leviathan Dawn #1.
Unless you were a hardcore fan of the original series, then Scarlet #1 is an easy skip. Bland characters in a bland setting.
Pearl #1 takes us to San Francisco where a tattoo artist named Pearl is out with a friend, meets a guy, and gets in the middle of a Yakuza fight.
Bendis delivers a strong, new-reader-friendly issue with Superman #1. And, he doesn’t waste any time putting Superman in a difficult situation.
The Man of Steel #1 is a well-executed, grounded action piece in its own right, but I have a hunch it’is going to end up being more about Rogol Zaar.
