![]() That’s what makes Green Lanterns #15 so special. But writing about anxiety, and conveying those feelings is very hard. There’ve literally been books written about loving people with anxiety, and how anxious individuals can maintain healthy relationships. 1: Rage Planet.***įor many people, clinical anxiety is a tough thing to understand. ***Looking for more? Check out Green Lanterns, Vol. But as she stays hidden, she’s got the element of surprise, and thus has the ability to turn the tables on them.Į mail Rob at or check us out on Twitter. This story sees her trapped on a space station with three Yellow Lanterns, who are literally powered by fear. Jessica Cruz has a special place in my heart because of her battle with an anxiety disorder. But the back-up about Jessica Cruz is what steals the issue. We’ve also got a back-up about Guy Gardner. Our main story here is about John Stewart and a group of now powerless Green Lanterns. LETTERERS: Andworld Design, Dave Sharpe, Steve Wands. Plenty of charm to go around.ĪUTHOR: Geoffry Thorne, Ryan Cady, Ernie AltbackerĪRTISTS: Tom Raney, Sami Basri, Clayton Henry. One thing I will say: This issue’s introductory Superman scene is pretty awesome, showing us that a “mundane” morning for the Man of Steel is anything but mundane. I gather there’s supposed to be some kind of intriguing dynamic between Jonathan Kent and our Future State Wonder Woman, but I don’t see it. This one was disappointing, as there wasn’t much of substance between our two title heroes. So in this one he does have the cape? What the hell? TITLE: Future State: Superman/Wonder Woman #1ĪRTISTS: Leila Del Duca, Nick Filardi (Colorist), Tom Napolitano (Letterer). Still, I like the notion of the Superman legacy casting a long shadow, while also trying to be his own man. Seems like if he’s had the job for 10 years, he must be pretty good at it… And yet, there’s some doubt as to whether he truly deserves it or is ready for it. In this issue, Jonathan Kent has supposedly been in the Superman role for about a decade. TITLE: Future State: Superman of Metropolis #1ĪRTISTS: John Timms, Valentine de Landro, Cully Hamner, Michael Avon OemingĬOLORISTS:Gabe Eltaeb, Marissa Louise, Laura Martin It’s not every day Grifter outdoes Batman… Oddly enough, the Grifter back-up story is the superior of the two. There’s not a lot of substance to it, but they’ve got the luxury of four issues to expand on things. ![]() The Batman portion of this issue has a lot of intrigue to it, with a sort of gritty, Commando-type approach to the Dark Knight. Hopefully this is just the next step in what will be big things for him. Really happy to see former Power Rangers artist Dan Mora get a big shot on a Batman book. LETTERERS: Aditya Bidikar, Andworld Design But it’s fun.ĪRTISTS: Dan Mora, Carmine Di GiandomenicoĬOLORISTS: Jordie Bellaire, Antonio Fabela But there is an interesting, somewhat funny character bit between Detective Chimp and Etrigan. The Justice League Dark back-up story didn’t do much for me. There’s an intriguing idea here about keeping the group small and impersonal. We don’t focus on the heroes as individuals, but rather the League as an organization and what it’s become. The main story here is among the best released under the Future State banner, and one of the more fun Justice League stories I’ve read in awhile. Cover by Dan Mora.ĬOLORISTS: Romulo Fajaro Jr, Marcelo Maiolo This is a smarter, more socially conscious Batman.ĪRTISTS: Robson Rocha, Daniel Henriques (Inker), Marcio Takara. There’s a heavy emphasis on facial recognition technology, which we don’t necessarily see in the regular books. John Ridley is giving us a slightly more realistic, tech-conscious look at the Batman mythos. But I’d still call The Next Batman among the best, if not the best, of Future State. It’s also a little disappointing to see Nick Derington strictly on breakdowns this time around (though Laura Braga is more than capable). Our Batgirls and Gotham City Sirens back-up stories are underwhelming. Cover by Ladronn.ĬOLORISTS: Arif Prianto, Trisha Mulvihill, John Kalisz Straight, concise, and to the point.***ĪUTHOR: John Ridley, Vita Ayala, Paula SevenbergenĪRTISTS: Laura Braga, Nick Derington (Breakdowns), Aneke, Emanuela Lupacchino, Rob Haynes (Breakdowns), Wade Von Grawbadger (Inker). ***”Weekly Comic 100s” keeps it nice and simple.
