EPISODE 15 Dr. TO Morrow has the Red Androids gathered together, and he has dissected Red Tornado to figure out where he maybe possibly had went wrong with him. We eventually get the backstory on the androids, as they were all created by Morrow way back in the day to destroy the Justice Society. The first was the aquatic Red Torpedo, but he failed because … Continue reading EVERYONE DIES! A Young Justice Retrospective, S1 E15-16
EPISODE 13 This show continues its globetrotting ways this week, as we kick off in India. The mayor of Gotham City and some underlings are after a tiger as part of their big game hunting, and I’m already on the tiger’s side. FUCK Big Game Hunters. They are always some of the worst people humanity has to offer. And this is why you shouldn’t eat … Continue reading Showers Are Fun! A Young Justice Retrospective, S1 E13-14
EPISODE 11 Episode 11 kicks off with Superman and Martian Manhunter partnering together to take out The Terror Twins. Well, we actually just get the aftermath of their defeat of The Terror Twins because THAT’S NOT REALLY OUR PLOT… Because we cut to the captured Terror Twins being held by the Justice League and not sent to prison yet. Superboy comes in dressed like the … Continue reading Tuppanceware Party: A Young Justice Retrospective, S1 E11-12
The last time I read a modern comic book that starred Conner Kent, the results were… less than ideal. So less than ideal that I’ve been scared off of reading the ongoing title of one of my favorite characters (Tim Drake: Robin) because the same writer has been at the helm of that series. But things are different now! No longer under the Dark Crisis … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Superboy: Man Of Tomorrow
EPISODE 9 This episode, Young Justice has already been defeated as we kick things off with Megan waking up in the sands of Bialya. She is clearly confused and speaking Martian in her head until she realizes she is on Earth. She sees Superboy–though she does not recognize him, just his S-shield–and tries to talk to him, but he rips off his shirt, attacks her, … Continue reading Lex Peace, More War: A Young Justice Retrospective, S1 E9-10
Episode 7 We kick things off in late July and in New Orleans, where the streets are filled with cliche Mardi Gras music despite it being, you know, LATE JULY. We meet an old man who turns out to be Kent Nelson, but we don’t know that yet! He visits a psychic named Madam Xanadu, but she is just a showperson psychic who Kent laughs … Continue reading Party On, Garth: A Young Justice Retrospective, S1 E7-8
EPISODE 5 We kick off with a typical day in Metropolis: a bridge is collapsing! Look, I know Gotham is supposed to be a terrifying, crime-ridden place to live, but Metropolis is Disasterville, man. These people should all move to Iowa. Anyway, Superman shows up to save the day! But also… so does Superboy. They both do their part in rescuing people while Superman repairs … Continue reading Monkey Business: A Young Justice Retrospective, S1 E5-6
Hey, we are back, still doing the first watch through of Young Justice! Let’s get into it. EPISODE 3 We open up with what appears to be some generic ass thieves robbing shipping containers. The former Speedy, who is… just Roy now, I guess?… shows up to defeat them. One of the thugs turns out to be a metahuman, and we see Young Justice is … Continue reading A Pick-Up Artist’s Guide To Teen Dating: A Young Justice Retrospective, S1 E3-4
Well, my Buffy The Vampire Slayer retrospective as a first time watcher seems to be going along pretty well. Why not start another show? My intention was originally to wait until I was done with Buffy before starting anything else, but then I realized two things: First, content is still king, and I am quickly about to hit my wall on pre-written material. And secondly, … Continue reading Stealing Jokes From 1999: A Young Justice Retrospective, S1 E1-2
I’ve always said my favorite era across all comics is the Post-Crisis era of DC. That’s… not really a good name for it anymore. DC used to have two eras: Pre-Crisis (the stuff that happened prior to Crisis On Infinite Earths) and Post-Crisis (guess what that meant). Then there was Flashpoint and the New 52. Then there was Rebirth. And Doomsday Clock may have been … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Dark Crisis – Young Justice
It’s weird that it’s taken so long to get here. A hundred-plus comic reviews. Dozens upon dozens of articles on the genre. Lists of all sorts. And I’ve never just sat down and written up a list of my ten favorite comic book characters? That’s not entirely true. On the Ghosts of the Stratosphere podcast, there is a “lost” episode that will never air. It … Continue reading Top Ten: Favorite Comic Book Heroes
As I write this, it’s the god damn hottest May I can remember. And somewhere around 300% humidity. I get that you may live someplace where weather akin to this is more frequent, but as far as I am concerned, this is hell; this is what hell feels like. Weather like this makes me regret having skin; I wish I could just unzip that layer … Continue reading Stew’s Reviews: Teen Titans by Geoff Johns
