Sometimes, there isn’t enough to say for a complete review, but there is still something to be said. That’s what Quick Takes is about. It would be difficult to review EVERY comic I read in a week, but I’ll always have something to say. So, here’s to something new…Quick Takes for the Week of March 12, 2025. Be sure to comment on what you’re reading and enjoying this week and check out the full reviews for the week at DC Comics News!
Green Lantern Corps #2
This comic is well balanced between plot, character, action and emotion. Jeremy Adams work has been strong at DC, and this seems to be the case in this title. Paired with Morgan Hampton on writing duties doesn’t appear to hamper the deeper elements. Even the John Stewart/ Shayera “relationship” front benefits this issue. There’s nothing specific mentioned, but John is displays a sincere sympathy for Shayera as she comes face to face with the ruins of Thanagar. It suggests that even if they go ahead and make the mistake of introducing a previous romantic relationship between the two, there’s a good chance it will be done well.
Action Comics #1084
The finale to this three issue storyline is rather mediocre. It feels very by the numbers, and while you can tell it’s supposed to be some sort of moving, “gray area” thing to “challenge” Superman it comes off very pedestrian. There’s no real insight, it just feels like something you’ve read before. Had the characters involved been more significant it would’ve had more impact. It’s not something that can be pulled off within three issues effectively without a deeper connection for the reader.
DC vs. Vampires: World War V #7
This is a tough issue to jump into with no context. It probably works better if you’re already committed. As is, it’s a lot of plot and quite the standard type of story for this concept. What does stand out is some of the artistic references- you’ll recognize some poses. Additionally, there’s a definite Keith Giffen influence evident in the art and storytelling.
