We start the final issue at the White House, where in a scene reminiscent of Watchmen, A man is holding a sign that says "The End Is Nigh". The President is being briefed on the red skies and other strange occurrences that have been happening. He asks to be left alone and the President reveals himself to be Superman. He then flies to meet this Earth’s Wonder Woman: Nubia. They find a craft that is breaking through the red skies and they comment that it contains heroes inside of it. The craft opens to reveal the Supermen of the Multiverse. Captain Marvel tells them that he is here to recruit the Supermen of the Multiverse on a misson of life or death. We then move to the JLA Watchtower where we see Power Girl, Starman and Frankenstein with dialogue that says that this is all that remains that is not Darkseid. It also talks of how the Metal Men from Earth 44 came through a dimension shard and went crazy from the magnetic field.   We find out that the narrator for all of this is Lois Lane. She tells us that they are loading a rocket

Faces of Evil : Deathstroke #1

  Great Issue. A brief origin recap before we see a Ravager/ Deathstroke battle. Slade starts anew and has a new apprentice by the end of the issue. 4 out of 5 Titans.   Put It on the Stack.

Amazing Spider-Man #584

  Cheesy dialogue between supervillains about the importance of voting, a dated 90’s Alannis Morrisette joke, and a lackluster reveal about Menace’s ID (Harry Osborne) and the ID of the Spider Tracer Killer. The book needs a serious revamp and a steady creative team. 1 out of 5 Spider-Villains. Leave it on the Rack.

Amazing Spider-Man #583

The main story in the issue features Peter Parker going out on a series of blind dates. Even though Mark Waid is usually a great writer this story is very boring. The only reason this book sold any copies at all is due to the back up 5 page story featuring an assassination attempt by the Chameleon on President Obama. The resolution requires that the Chameleon has never seen basketball in his life and is pretty lame. The book earns 2 out of 5 Spider-Villains, but you should still  Put It on the Stack. Since you can save it as a memento or flip it on ebay.

We were lucky enough to see an advance screening of the film which opens in wide release February 6th. Henry Sellick has directed both the Nightmare Before Christmas and James and the Giant Peach so he knows his way around stop animation filming.  Usually 3-D movies have only a few 3-D effects and most are lackluster or just some random thing popping out at you. This movie is designed to be seen in 3-D as the entire film and not just some stunt work. As such it is a much better 3-D experience and is without a doubt the best 3-D film I have ever seen. (This even includes Nightmare Before Christmas).

Just a few quick reviews of last week’s books before moving on to this week’s big books.

Faces of Evil Solomon Grundy #1

This book is also a prelude to Blackest Night. Good art, interesting story. 3 out of 5 JSA-ers.Put It on the Stack

Here we go with a secondary rating system in effect :

Amazing Spider-Man #582

  Second part of a lackluster Molten Man return. Not much going on in this book due to revolving creative teams. Only stunt covers appear to be the saving this book from horrible sales numbers.  (I’m looking at you Colbert and Obama variants). 2 out of 5 Spider-Villains.  Leave it on the Rack.

  As he proved while writing Batman the Animated Series, Paul Dini is a great storyteller, even when not writing Batman specifically. This issue is part one of a Hush two-part story and follows the fall and rise of Hush. For those who do not know, Hush is Dr. Tommy Elliot former childhood friend of Bruce Wayne, who has discovered his secret and is jealous that Bruce’s parents died and left him with all of the money, while his parents held him to Bruce’s standards. When we last saw Hush
