Justice League: Generation Lost #24 review

‘It all comes down to this!’ is the name of the final issue of this year-long limited series, ‘this’ being the big blowout between the Justice League International, friend-turned-foe Maxwell Lord and OMAC Prime. It’s sharply scripted by Judd Winick, who gives us such great lines as Max’s ‘People have to see the truth – even if […]

Justice League: Generation Lost #23 review

Aside from the undeniably icky notion of Max Lord’s bleeding nose spelling out the continents, I’m not keen on Dustin Nguyen’s cover this time – Max looks tremendous, but the heroes are a little too sketchy for me. Full marks for trying something different, though. Inside, the series continues as it has for months now, […]

Justice League: Generation Lost #22 review

In which Blue Beetle is alive and kicking, Batman and Power Girl arrive for the final battle and Max Lord puts his endgame into action. As predicted here – well, pretty much everywhere – Jaime Reyes survived Max Lord’s bullet to the head thanks to his extraterrestrial armour. Reunited with a hysterically happy Justice League, […]

Justice League: Generation Lost #21 review

Blue Beetle is dead, Max Lord has gotten away and the JLA members are licking their wounds. Booster Gold and Skeets are trying to work out how to get Jaime Reyes out of the Scarab suit before delivering his body to his family. Captain Atom is telling Ice that the thousands of recent deaths are […]

Power Girl #21 review

How things change. When Judd Winick came on as writer I said I didn’t want this book to continually tie into his other comic, Justice League: Generation Lost. But as the months have passed, the books have become more and more intertwined. And I love it. While odd scenes are repeated from title to title, […]

Justice League: Generation Lost #18 review

It’s Power Girl vs cover boy Captain Atom after Max Lord’s mental whammy makes the Kryptonian see her old teammate as a kill-crazy Superman. The bout arranged by writer Judd Winick is reminiscent of Wonder Woman’s battle with Superman in Greg Rucka’s Sacrifice storyline; then, Superman saw Diana as the murderous Doomsday, but it was […]

Justice League: Generation Lost #12 review

The hunt for Max Lord takes a back seat this issue as the threat to the League comes from one of their own. Trauma has dialled Ice several notches up on the power scale and she’s lost her mind. Can Fire and Rocket Red stop her, or will they be transformed into the Justice Popsicles? While Bea […]

Justice League: Generation Lost #11 review

The members of Justice League International have split into two teams to check out Checkmate cells reactivated by the murderous Maxwell Lord. The group comprising Captain Atom, Blue Beetle, Booster Gold and Skeets has a quiet issue, discovering a cache of new OMAC androids, but Ice, Fire and Rocket Red? It’s fair to say they’re […]

Justice League: Generation Lost #10 review

Cliff Chiang’s striking, deceptively simple Batman cover is the most obviously memorable aspect of this issue, but there’s plenty of good stuff inside too. There’s the unexpected opening featuring the world of Kingdom Come, the wrap-up of Ice’s crisis of confidence and the ever-more impressive Rocket Red. There’s Max Lord manipulating the dimwit Magog, despite […]
