So..why the three stars? Because from your review I would have expected a four or more…And I love that concept! A little bit like “Vis ma vie” and that’s when you realize that being a super hero is no picnic LOL
I think the story sounds pretty cool! Too bad the main character is annoying though 😫
It reminds me you should watch Dial M for Murder 😄
Great review, Lashaan! 😊
Top review my friend, I haven’t checked out any of these DC Wonder Comics titles – sounds like an interesting story (and I have a vague familiarity of the previous iteration of Dial H, as a big Hitchcock fan I chuckled at your mention of the play on words) but a shame it’s let down by an irritating main character which certainly lets things down – hopefully this won’t be the case with Bendis’s Legion of Superheroes!
Thanks, Chris! Greatly appreciate that a lot. So far, the Wonder Comics line-up have been interesting if not spectacular. I still got Wonder Twins and Naomi to try but I’m keeping my expectations low.
I definitely look forward to Legion of Superheroes and just about anything by Bendis, honestly. Even if it’s not always a hit with me. He has great ideas that I want to see explored at least.
Glad to hear, Bendis seems to be getting a lot of hate for his DC work for some reason – particularly Superman but I’ve personally found his run on the character to be pretty good, even with the reveal of his identity.
I’m just going to assume that the hate is due to the inability of many to adapt to change… But sometimes these changes (e.g. what Tom King does with Alfred in his Batman run) can feel unwarranted too. 😦
Well the interesting thing is that it was actually DC who pushed for what’s happened with Alfred…but we all know he’ll be back (he’s actually died on the comics before you know)…
Yeh… I think what’s important with these kinds of stories (deaths) is how they’re brought into the story. While we always know that none will STAY dead, we just want their deaths to be MEMORABLE.
This book sounds really cool. And what an awesome cover!

It is indeed a pretty cool series. Hopefully they’ll know how to keep it interesting before it gets cancelled or something. 😮 Thanks for reading. 🙂

Because I’m not a fan of the protagonist and wasn’t totally sold by the story, despite the awesome premise for this series. 😉

This sounds like a fun read even though I don’t read a lot of DC.
