Pearls of Digital Comics: Adventures of Superman vol. 2

Year 2011 was the breaking point for digital comics and specifically DC digital comics. First issue of New 52, Justice League #1, was the first DC issue which was released the same day in print and digitally. For 3.99$, which ose one dollar extra from regular price, you had a special bagged issue with redeemable digital code (after a few months Marvel made its first issue with free redeemable digital code). This option had only some titles but it was quite popular at the beginning. And in this year DC started digital first series tied to Batman Arkham games (very first by Paul Dini). In the beginning of 2012 then they started a few digital series and after while there was new digital issue every day (best-selling series was Smallville Season 11, but very strong sales were also Legends of Dark Knight vol. 2 and Injustice: Gods Among Us). One of these titles were Adventures of Superman vol. 2.

Mini review: Truth & Justice #6 (8.5/10)

Conclusion of Superman’s story in Truth & Justice is able to ask deep social questions behind the action story. At the beginning we have one of Superman' s older villains explaining what was his motivation and why all this thing about prisoner’ s teleportation happened. Chapter is ending with Clark’ s article contains some harsh facts.

All these three chapters were very fine and good to read. Brandon Easton shows that it is not so hard to write action stories with huge moral points and even make contributions to Black History Month. First DC story illustrated by Jahnoy Lindsay proves that his sharp lines and over-mimic faces fitts to superhero comics, even to that of the first superhero. I hope that DC will have more work for him.

Mini review: Truth & Justice #5 (8/10)

Only four days after the first Superman´s chapter of the anthology Truth & Justice we have another one.

This is one of the stories where two sides of his personality have two different quests. Clark Kent is still investigating why prisoners are found at home without memory of how they came there. During this investigation he is questioning common people about their fear of other races. Superman is fighting from troubles which came at the end of the previous chapter and he found who is behind it. So we have a very known villain anti-Superman organisation.

Mini Review: Truth & Justice #4 (8.5/10)

First Truth & Justice chapter with Superman is totally different from Vixen's previous issue. We have more words and more complicated story.Superman is investigating situations when prisoners are found in their homes without knowledge of how they were getting there. When a villain appears it seems to have something to do with teleportation.
