Decimation: House of M – The Day After
Unlike Countdown, however, which plot-hammered the DC Universe into submission and sacrificed Blue Beetle on the altar of the Big Event, Claremont’s The Day After does a more effective job of making its many featured characters interesting and appealing, while introducing a legitimate threat that doesn’t leave the casual reader in the dark as to its severity or scope.
Yep, just one this week. Been busy playing editor, along with all the “real life” stuff that seems to never end. Sue me! If you want more, check out the comments to Dorian Peace’s review of DMZ #1 for my thoughts on Brian Wood’s latest effort. He liked it more than I did. Also, check out Greg Burgas’ latest Comics You Should Own for an excellent review of the Doug Moench/Kelley Jones run on Batman in the mid-90s, now sitting at the top of my eBay wish list.
