End of the Shadowpact

By
Shadowpact concluded with issue #25. This really bums me out. The book wasn't that great but it really could have been. 



The team had it's finest moments forming during the Infinite Crisis. It has never gotten better than Day of Vengeance which has some of my favorite covers ever, and really depicts the magical element of the DCU into something really cool and unique.

 

The Shadowpact felt to me like it almost had an X-Factor or X-men vibe. So because I think this short lived series might read better and as an appetizer to what should be the ultra-lame Reign in Hell.

 

I am going to review all the Shadowpact's appearances as a team.

Yeah the Shadowpact team in Day of Vegeance kicked large amounts of arse, and even in those first couple of issues in it's ongoing series it wasn't too bad either. I think where this series started to go was when Willingham left the series....nothing against the writer who replaced Willingham but, the feel I guess just wasn't quite the same.

COMICBOOK REVIEW: Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special

Time for a comicbook review of an unusual comic for me. Every once in a while at the comic shop, I may feel particularly random. Something odd may call to me from the shelves. This comic is one such oddity. Garfield's Pet Force 2014 Special jam-packed with two epic Garfield's Pet Force stories. What is Garfield's Pet Force? I had no idea. I'm familiar with the concept of Oddie and Garfield and watched the cartoon a few times as a kid. I wouldn't consider myself a Garfield fan in the slightest. This comic may have changed my mind on the lasagna loving cat, though. Garfield's Petforce is Garfield as a superhero named Garzooka. Garzooka leads the Pet Force which is made up of his cartoon friends who have their own superpowers and dorky names. The stories are written by Scott Nickel. The first one is called "Cat-astrophe in the Cosmos" with pencils by Gary Barker and George Lane the third, inks were done by Mark and Stephanie Heike. The story s...

-Can we officially shut the fuck up about Jake Locker now? I don't care if he was playing the Pittsburgh Steelers, 4-20 for 71 yards, a TD, and 2 INTs is unacceptable. If you take away a 45 yard TD strike to Jermaine Kearse, he was 3-19 for 26 yards and 2 INTs. He's got lots of talent and I'm sure he's a perfectly decent kid but the idea that Locker is the ultimate prospect in this year's NFL Draft is inexplicable. His Heisman campaign is obviously deader than dead at this point and I see no reason that he won't be the next Tim Couch. -Here's a random one: Kansas is down 31-10 to Southern Miss...they score a touchdown with 5:17 left in the game...and go for two?! Uh...what? Who did the math on that one? What possible scenario are they planning for? Are they planning cut the deficit to 13 instead of 14 in hopes that, in the event that they have to settle for two field goals at some point, they can still tie the game (with the addition of another touch...
