Super-Fly Comics & Games

I’ve always loved Barbara Gordon as I grew up reading her exploits as Batgirl in old back issues of Batman Family where she’d team up with Robin. When she was shot by Joker and crippled in Alan Moore’s The Killing Joke, I was severely disappointed. However, the Oracle information broker identity she established despite [...]

War comics haven’t been much in the spotlight lately, with some notable exceptions like Dynamite’s Battlefields written by Garth Ennis. However, with two real life wars still ongoing, DC serves up Men of War as part of its New 52, starring a brand new Sergeant Rock leading a modern unit into intense missions. The [...]

I am one of those people who first encountered the electric hero Static in the animated TV show Static Shock. I hadn’t read the Milestone series before and actually still have not. I did pick up the Static Shock special that dropped in the spring and was really looking forward to his new series. [...]

After reading the DC New 52 books for the first week of September, I was quite surprised at how many quality books there were. No book surprised me more than O.M.A.C. #1 written by Dan DiDio and Keith Giffen, with Giffen on pencils and Scott Koblish on inks. Based on the original O.M.A.C. (One [...]

I have always been a big Green Arrow fan ever since I was a kid, and have enjoyed his exploits over the years. I also know J.T. Krul has been writing the exploits of the Emerald Archer for awhile now, and had heard he was doing pretty well with it. Unfortunately, Green Arrow #1 [...]

SWAMP THING #1 Review

Swamp Thing #1 is a great re-introduction of the classic character and firmly establishes itself as a horror book set firmly in the DCnU. The book begins with nature suddenly going haywire, as across the world animals are dying. Superman notices this as Clark Kent and immediately decides he should catch [...]

Stormwatch is a book with its beginning at Image Comics under Jim Lee’s WildStorm imprint before WildStorm became part of DC. Now with WildStorm characters becoming a part of the DCnU proper, Stormwatch incorporates characters and concepts old and new to deliver an exciting and satisfying read. Whether you’re a fan who has followed [...]

BATWING #1 Review

Going into the second week of DC’s New 52, I didn’t have high expectations for Batwing #1. Not that I thought a bat-character in Africa couldn’t be good, I just didn’t expect it to be—even with Judd Winick writing. Well, the joke’s on me. Batwing is excellent and certainly a book [...]

With DC Comics’ New 52 running strong in its second week with 13 new releases, I was ready to hit Super-Fly Comics & Games Tuesday evening, September 6th for my chance to get down with the new books early. It had been a crazy day for Super-Fly and store owner Tony Barry seemed stressed as [...]

If Justice League #1 is any indication of what we’re in store for with the New 52, then DC is bringing it strong and fans are in for a treat. No longer carrying the “of America” moniker, Justice League #1 kicks off in a new direction for the legendary super team, brought about by the [...]
