Comic Book Review: Batman #21 - DC Comics (2017)

"The Button" Part 1
Written by Tom King
Pencils and Inks by Jason Fabok
Colors by Brad Anderson

Batman is investigating the button that was mysteriously found during the Rebirth comic book.  Upon finding something unexpected, Batman contacts The Flash who was in the middle of a fight.  Before the Flash could dispose of his foes and get to the Bat-Cave, Batman has a visitor.  Don't read any further if you do not want any spoilers.

This is how you kick of a comic book event.  I am all in on finding out more about this mysterious button as this appears to be a Watchmen tie-in.  Batman sees his father from an alternate universe and also gets into a tussle with the Reverse Flash.  Reverse Flash claims to see God at the end of the comic before he looks to be burned away.  It looks like the aftermath of those that cross Dr. Manhattan(or is that just something we are lead to believe?).

Jason Fabok is an absolutely fantastic person to be doing the art for this comic book.  I've been a huge fan of his work for some time and I really enjoy the way he draws all of the heroes and villains of the DC Universe.  I'm looking forward to seeing more of his work as this story progresses.

Comic Book Review: Justice League #48 - DC Comics (2016)

The Darkseid War: Part 8
Act 3: Gods of Justice
Chapter 2: Crime Pays

Written by Geoff Johns
Art by Jason Fabok

The Justice League are working with the Crime Syndicate to stop the Anti-Monitor.

The Darkseid War has so many moving parts, it's hard to figure out where to start this review.  DC Comics is doing such a great job with this book.  I've been a fan of Justice League from the first issue and here, at issue forty-eight I am just as excited.  Geoff Johns is exceptional at crafting these long intricate stories that intermingle a multitude of characters who, while maybe not sharing the panel, impact each other with each action.  The Anti-Monitor seems to be an unstoppable force and I look forward to seeing how this war continues to take shape.

Jason Fabok is such an incredible artist.  He does such an extraordinary job with all of these characters he is needing to draw.  Justice League has got to be one of those "dream projects" as you get to draw anyone and everyone on any given panel.

I recognize that Justice League is fully entrenched in the Darkseid War but just pick these books up and start reading.  There is a lot going on but the dialogue is good and the art is remarkable.
