X-Men Forever Comic Book Review

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 13:49:45 +0000

Its been a long time since a new X-men comic book story was published and now the wait has ended because X-men Forever is here. Fortunately, the collaboration of Chris Claremont and Jim Lee to create the X-men Forever is a success and the new issue was sold out! When you read this one, you cannot tell that the last issue was released way back in 1991 because the story was continued like the past only happened yesterday.

For some, especially those who were able to read the last issue in 1991, will surely appreciate and might even reminisce the past issue. It has a very old-school feel into it like it was just written yesterday. But still some people might treat this one as a new story, plot, adventure or whatever especially when they were not able to read any X-men Forever issues in the past. So, if you have not read any past issues of X-men Forever, reading the first page on this one might confuse you or you might feel like that there is something missing. But just keep on reading and you will surely appreciate the story in the end.

When it comes to the illustration part, everything went smoothly. Tom Grummet made a good job at infusing the look of the past characters to a more modern character. The battle with Cortez looks great and very smoothly done which made the story more appealing.

Even if X-men Forever felt like dwelling in the past, we still cannot remove the fact that without the past, we will not be able to get into reading X-men Forever now.

DC Comics – Green Lantern 41

Fri, 19 Jun 2009 09:46:04 +0000

On the Green Lantern 41, the Green Lantern Corps and the Guardians are in battle with the Orange Lantern. Orange Lantern is said to be the most greedy among his race. The idea of bringing in Orange Lantern or Larfleeze into the story is interesting and fun at the same time. Instead of just focusing on the Lantern Corps it gives a refreshing twist on the Green Lantern issue.

Though, the Orange Lantern did not become the greediest among his race without any reason. Once you get a hold of Green Lantern 41 you will soon find out the history of Orange Lantern. Orange Lantern also felt that he is a good guy and his ways are also good. But from the viewpoint of the Guardian and the Green Lantern Corps, everything he did is wrong. As a reader, you will also come to a point and realize that his motives are good. But still we do not know what will be the future of the Orange Lantern on the hands of the Guardian and the Green Lantern Corps.

When it comes to the interpretation of the characters, you will be surprised that two artists worked on it. Everything blended well and in place which just makes the story more interesting to read. Also, there are certain character designs that are very unique and you will want to look closer.

All in all, Green Lantern 41 gets a two thumbs up. So if you are interested about something else aside from the Green Lantern Corps, then this issue is perfect for you.
