Batman Villains Secret Files #1 - One of the best Secret Files so far. The opening story is that of an innocent man going to Arkham Asylum and going crazy in the process. The great thing is, the story is told by the building itself, and is really eerie. There's a couple side stories that aren't all that great, but the character profiles, the time-line, and the interview with the Joker, were all really quite interesting. My favorite segment, though was the story that looked at Arkham through the eyes of a hero other than Batman, to show why he's as dark as he is. The hero is none other than Green Lantern, and even though he's packing the most powerful weapon in the universe, he's still shakin' in his boots by the end. I really enjoyed reading this book, and am very glad I picked it up.
DC One Million #1 - Superman's been living in the sun for the past ten thousand years, and when he emerges, the Justice Legion A decide to welcome him back by throwing a sort of super hero Olympics with many of the people he's worked with over the years participating. So the Justice Legion goes from the 853rd century to ours to bring the greatest superheroes back to welcome Superman. In the meantime, an alliance is forged between a powerful supercomputer (with an ego problem) and Vandal Savage to destroy the heroes in both time periods. I'm looking forward to the rest of this storyline, but the tie-ins so far have been marginally disappointing.
Green Lantern #1,000,000 - Kyle's challenge in the games is a race not only of speed, but of cunning and imagination. However, when he wins the race (oh, come on, you couldn't have imagined him NOT winning, so I didnt' spoil anything for you), he goes on to find that there is a traitor amongst the Justice Legion A. However, Kyle doesn't make it very far with the news. I actually enjoyed it, the only qualm I have with it is that since issue 96 of the series, there has been a time travel element in EVERY issue, that's ELEVEN issues now.
Nightwing #1,000,000 - The most disappointing thing I read all week, which is amazing, since this is usually the book I like the most. The story is basically Nightwing and the 853rd century Batman fighting alongside each other. It's a large fight scene with no real story behind it. Plus, to get the conclusion to the story, I have to pick up ANOTHER book this month: Detective Comics. Not too happy about that, but I don't think I'll buy it.
Young Justice #1,000,000 - The best tie in to the DC One Million storyline so far. It has the far future versions of Robin (a robotic construct of Batman), Superboy (the 1,000,000th clone of the original) and Impulse (the personification of the random thoughts of speedsters who have entered the speed force) telling stories of their original counterparts and how they've saved the world. Superboy apparently defeated Doomsday, even after the monster killed Superman. Robin tells how he saved the world from the sun eater, even when all the heroes had lost their powers. Impulse tells the story of how Young Justice saved the world from the "Millenium Chicken." The best part of this issue was that for each story, the art style changed. When I turned the page onto the Robin story, I laughed my butt off. It was great.
