Dark Knights: Metalβ β β ββ
Scott Snyder, Greg Capullo, and Jonathan Glapion The art is great, and the scope is ambitious, but the story follows the same beats as Final Crisis.
Doom Patrolβ β β β βAn absurd, character-focused, darkly humorous, psychological take on people with the super-power/body horror combo.
Final Crisis (Audio and Graphic Novel)It actually flows better than the comic book, especially toward the end, when the comic starts fragmenting the narrative.
Final Crisis: Revisiting the Tie-InsSuperman Beyond is essential. Submit and Reqiuem show the street-level perspective. Rogues Revenge is not a good as I remember.
Flash: Stop Motion (Audio)
Mark Schultz The concepts are intriguing, the characters are handled well, and the full cast and sound effects make up for the lack of visuals in superhero novels.
Good Time Travel Comicsβ β β β β Some DC stories I can recommend include DC One Million, JLA: Rock of Ages, Time Masters, and Chronos.
Justice League: The New Frontier (Movie)β β β β βCookeβs drawing style and the 1950s retro look to the artwork both translate well to the screen. A bit disjointed at first, but settles into a solid story about hope and trust.
Superman Returnsβ β β ββEnjoyed it, but no interest in seeing it again. It already felt like deja vu since there were so many references to the first two movies with Christopher Reeve.
Time Breakersβ β β β β
Rachel Pollack and Chris Weston This comic book from the 1990s flips the familiar time-cop trope on its head: Instead of protecting time from paradoxes, the protagonists are trying to create more paradoxes, convinced that the very existence of life depends on it.
