It would take Crisis on Infinite Earths to stop Superman. Wolfman and Perez’s cosmic classic was meant to be the first story in a new era for DC’s heroes. Which meant the end of Superman and Action Comics, and the creation of one last story.
Alan Moore’s Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow? marks the “end” not for the hero, but more for Superman’s two on-going series and what they represented. It’s a bold book that provides a kind of final statement on the hero’s whole ethos, and it’s still a magnificent example of how to say goodbye to not just heroes, but particular definitions of heroism.
Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? is, unabashedly, an attempt to recreate that prior miracle. Like its predecessor, it comes before an important reboot (in this case, the major developments and cosmic expansion between Final Crisis, Blackest Night, and New Krypton), the death of an iconic hero (Batman: RIP.), and ushers in the ending of two of DC’s longest-running titles (Batman & Detective Comics).

It seems only right he have a tome to match: Marvel Cosmic Universe by Donny Cates. [Read more…] about Marvel Cosmic Universe by Donny Cates Omnibus | Nothing the Matter with the Stars
The war within Matt Murdock rages on. But with the coming of a new embodiment of justice comes an even more personal test for The Man Without Fear.
Debuting on Netflix in 2016, Daredevil Season 2 follows Charlie Cox’s Matt Murdock, now solidified in his role as The Devil of Hell’s Kitchen, working to clean up a city left in disarray after his takedown of The Kingpin Wilson Fisk at the end of Season 1. But Matt’s work as both a masked hero and a lawyer are suddenly complicated by the arrival of Frank Castle, played by Jon Bernthal, a lethal vigilante known as The Punisher, and the return of Elektra Natchios, played by Elodie Yung, Matt’s old college flame now at the center of a war with the ninja clan known as The Hand. And Daredevil’s physical and spiritual battles with these two dark reflections are what inform the story of Daredevil Season 2. [Read more…] about Daredevil Season 2 – A Complicated Disaster
