The “Infinite” in the title is a misnomer because we’re still following the same two parallel Earths from the previous volume. One where Nathan is Radiant Black, and another where Marshall is Radiant Black. Both are still fielding challenges from the Catalyst army and its advent, Premier, and are dealing with their own unique issues. […]
With Aqua now satisfied regarding the identity of his father – and by extension, with the idea that the man behind Ai’s death is also dead – he’s content now to have an average showbiz career as he prepares for medical school (again). However, with Ruby now aware of how the doctor who treated her […]
It’s a brand new creator owned series written by Kieron Gillen! This is something that should be cause for celebration after his work on titles like “Phonogram,” “The Wicked + The Divine,” and “Once & Future.” Yes, there was also “Die” but that was a case of being Not Bad rather than Actively Terrible. That […]
Back when Dick Grayson got shot in the head and became Ric Grayson for a while, he got a mysterious package from an unknown source. Not knowing what to do with it, he had it stashed in The Hold, Bludhaven’s secret maritime-based storage facility. Now that he finally remembers that it’s there, he’s keen to […]
Wally West is the fastest man alive. Yet even his connection to the Speed Force hasn’t helped him solve, or outrun his current problems.

When it was announced that Camp would be writing this latest version of “The Ultimates,” I was more than a little wary. The writer had previously given us “20th Century Men” a tiresome and pretentious riff on the Russian invasion of Afghanistan in the 80’s and America’s own global ambitions at the time. Despite including […]
Last time we found out that someone from the future was trying to kill Barbara “Batgirl” Gordon. That led Dinah “Black Canary” Lance to put together a team and start some trouble on Paradise Island. With that trouble now behind them, they’re now trying to figure out who’s been trying to kill Barbara. Their only […]
Adventureman was once the greatest hero of his time. He and the likes of The Gentleman, Ace Aviatrix Sally Sweet, Phaedra Phantom, The Gentleman, and more had protected our world from the likes of Baron Bizarre and his henchman until they didn’t. At least, that’s what the books read by Claire Connell and her son […]
You’d think I’m a glutton for punishment at this point, following this series and its spinoffs for as long as I have.
