Maelstrom

I haven't posted anything on this blog in the longest time, so I wanted to take a moment to say how much I enjoyed Superman/Supergirl: Maelstrom. This five part DC miniseries concluded in January. If you can still find it, do so. It's well written and drawn and, remarkably, is self contained. That's right, fanboys, you don't have to buy twenty other books or miniseries to understand what's going on. Oh sure, you need to have a basic familiarity with Superman, Supergirl, Darkseid, and Apokolips, but the story isn't wrapped up in an never-ending multi book "crisis" or "war" like so many books are today.

Also, I'm quite liking Marvel's adaptation of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Dorothy actually has SILVER slippers in it. Way to be true to the source material, Marvel!
