Even with being a lifelong DC Comics reader, there are portions of the DC Universe that I haven't had time or, at least, made a point to get to. The Legion of Super-Heroes is one of those areas. I know the basics, the characters, the history, but I can't say I've ever read a Legion comic that featured Tyr.
Today, I'm stepping in for Noisy to continue our DC Universe Classics Wave 14 reviews. In the spirit of the greatest Brave and the Bold comics, I’ve decided to throw two characters together that you wouldn’t normally see: Alan Scott, Earth’s Golden Age Green Lantern and Kamandi, the Last Boy on Earth.
DC Universe Classics Wave 14 is a wave without variants, so that means one figure gets a solo review. I picked Hourman because he's a favorite of mine and because he has a ton of comic potential. He's a smart character, but he's still a brawler at heart. Plus, he only has powers for an hour. That’s kinda cool.
Before we get to DCUC15's Validus, we're going to jump into some DC Universe Classics Wave 14 reviews. Today, we'll take a look at a character from one of my favorite teams, the Metal Man's Gold, and a character from one of my least favorite teams, Infinity, Inc's Obsidian... er, I mean Todd Rice.
In IAT's ongoing efforts to update and expand the DC Universe Classics Checklist at DCClassics.Com, I've added a new page with a text checklist. I can hear you now... "text is so 2000s, Noisy", but there's more. This new checklist includes C&C information, accessories, and release dates, but the best part is... it's sortable.
With DCUC16 being scheduled for early 2011, will it be considered one of the five 2011 waves or will Mattel now plan for six waves of DC Classics on the 2011 schedule
Our fifth DC Universe Classics Wave 15 Review focuses on the last two regular figures in the wave, Jemm, Son of Saturn & the New Teen Titan Raven. They're an odd pair, they've probably never met before today, but they do have one thing in common. They're both DCUCs that don't have double fists. How rare is that?
