DC Digital Mini Reviews March 15th - 19th (Challenge of the Super Sons #8, The Next Batman: Second Son #4, Sensational Wonder Woman #11, Truth & Justice #11)

This week we had the return of Super Sons, another issue of The Next Batman: Second Son, start of a new story in Sensational Wonder Woman and a little scary second part of Jason Todd's story in Truth & Justice. DC also released a new issue of free digital magazine DC Connect where we learned that all already released chapters of anthology Represent! will be printed in 80-page long Issue 1, so there is a chance that this unique anthology will continue.

DC Digital Mini Reviews March 8th - 12th (Represent! #7, The Next Batman: Second Son #3, Sensational Wonder Woman #10, Truth & Justice #10)

Another week with four issues as RWBY/Justice League crossover didn't start (it's still scheduled for March 30th, as is 2nd chapter). We have maybe the last Represent! chapter, conclusion of Amu Chu´s Wonder Woman storz and start of Jason Todd detective in Truth & Justice. Next week we have some nice return as “Challenge of the Super Sons” is back.

DC Digital Mini Reviews March 1st - 5th (Represent! #6, The Next Batman: Second Son #2, Sensational Wonder Woman #9, Truth & Justice #9)

This was standard week with four issues. Amy Chu started a very good Sensation Wonder Woman story, The Next Batman: Second Son continued with Tim Fox origin, Constantine concluded in Truth & Justice and a little wonder is in Represent! anthology.

Next week we have to have apart from these titles one premiere, RWBY/Justice League crossover and I want to have a mini review on Tuesday when it has to be released. But I can´t find any mention about it anywhere now. Comixology has release date for first and second issue March 30th. So we will see on Mandoay or Tuesday.

DC Digital Mini Reviews February 15th - 19th (Represent! #3, Sensational Wonder Woman #7, Truth & Justice #7)

This week we had three issues. Irt is standard DC Digital production for last three weeks, since “Challenge of Super Sons”´s break started. Bit next week is mini-serie “The Next Batman: Second Son” and we have also robust start of Milestone Revival, one-shot Milestone Returns: Infinite Edition #0. But this week we had a nice chapter of Represent!, very good Sensational Wonder Woman half-story and superb start of John Contantine issue in Truth 7 Justice.
 

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: Represent! #3 (8/10)

DC Comics is treating Black History Month really seriously. Not only in a lot of Future State issues, in The Other History of DC Universe, but also in digital first comics. anti-racist issues of Thuth & Justice, origin of New Batman in Second Son, but mainly Represent! anthology are strong comic book additions to it. After brilant second issues by Jesse J. Holland we have next installment by Regine L. Sawyer, Afro American author known from few small press comic books, owner of one of small press and writer of one of recent stories in Death Metal tie-ins.

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 Interview: Jesse J. Holland: This was a really hard story to tell

Jesse J. Holland is awarded journalist and novelist. He wrote novelization of Reginald Hudlin´s comics Who Is the Black Panther? for which he was nominated for National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Awards. Now he is editing prose Black Panther anthology. I gave him three questions regarding his yesterday´s digital comics in anthology Represent! #2 (mini review you can find here)

Mini Review: Represent! #2 (9/10)

After more than four months since the free first chapter, DC released another chapter of digital first anthology Represent!. It is centered at common people in their landscapes where their lives are often more interesting than most superheroes. And maybe due to a change of genre, this is for me the best this year’s DC digital chapter to date.

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. 

Mini Review: Truth & Justice #3 (8/10)

The last Vixen´s chapter of the anthology has a very nice ending to this story, even if not so original. People are fighting against gods and then a small team is created. Actual end seems as if there will be some continuation of the story and for me, Vixen´s digital series with these Global Guardians can be very interesting. 

News: Represent! is coming back!

DC anthology Represent!, which started in September, is going to have another five issues in five weeks. It's a series about ordinary people in not-so-ordinary situations. An African American man is growing at a post-slavery farm. A woman is starting to feel pain in legs and it becomes agony. A mobbed-down student is starting with box for defense. All realistic themes from real lives.

Mini Review: Truth & Justice #2 (7/10)

In the second digital chapter of this anthology, Vixen is waking up in the camp. Almost half of the issue is her dream which included Vandal Savage, Anansi, Gilgamesh and new character Oya. Then she is flying to Kenya and side-by-side with Impala fighting gods known as Nyame.

Mini Review: Truth & Justice #1 (8/10)

In comics there can be two types of anthologies: Same as in books, when anthology is one issue which contents few stories, often with different characters and creators, and same as in tv-shows, where anthology is show, which after some number of episodes (generally one season) is completely changing title characters. Truth & Justice is the second type.
