Issue #111: Comic Books For The Week Of Wednesday, February 23, 2011:

Action Comics #898 (DC)
Terry Moore's Echo #28 (Abstract Studios)

Finally, I'm caught up with my reviews of my comic book purchases for the month of February from Acme Comics in Longwood, Florida. And now for our regularly scheduled post of My Pull List.

Action Comics #898 (DC) *  *  *

In his quest for control of the Black Lantern globes, Lex Luthor runs up against the Orange Lantern Larfleeze, who is after the same prize. While their conflict is intersting, and Luthor shows his lack of concern for the safety of his employees, the most interesting part of the issue is the revelation on the final page of the story. This epilogue to the Black Lantern  story is an ill fit for Action Comics, no matter how interesting the conclusion to this story proves to be. Plus, this storyline has served as a type of "team-up" between Luthor and other members of DC's rogues gallery. Superman can't return to the title that made him famous quick enough for me.

Terry Moore's Echo #28 (Abstract Studios) *  *  *  *  *


This issue opens with some familiar characters not previously in this series. This may not make sense, but fans of Terry Moore will know what I mean when they read this issue. Dylan and Julie/Annie deal with the events that concluded the previous issue. Our band of heroes learn how tight their deadline is, and we get our first look at their target. With only two issues left there is a lot of story to wrap up. But if anyone can do it, Terry Moore can. I also look forward to meeting him at MegaCon at the end of the month.
