Hello, my friends. Despite a turbulent trip to the finish line, 2024 has come to a close. With over a decade of assorted content behind me, I’m looking forward to even more future projects of numerous kinds with various comics and films that I can provide my personal thoughts on all throughout 2025. I hope that I’ve been able to ease you all from the hectic nature that our world constantly pelts onto us and will most likely continue to do so, since this kind of media along with my ideas of what worked and what didn’t within a certain story is all about providing the best kind of content that I can give. Before I share my plans for the first half of the year, allow me to mention a single update from last time.
December has seen the debut of James Gunn & Peter Safran’s DC Universe series with the animated show “Creature Commandos”, yet I haven’t been able to provide you with my personal ranking list of the various movies (and even the single season of a TV show) that came from the now-defunct DC Extended Universe. Usually, the second half of any calendar year can get extremely hectic especially with the big three holidays of Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas (or Hanukah for our Jewish folks). As such, I haven’t been able to get far with my personal rewatching of each DCEU entry. With the new Superman movie set to release in July 2025, I will make it a personal mission to get my DC Extended Universe ranking list done before the Man of Tomorrow gets to soar within a solo live-action outing on the silver screen for the first time in a dozen years. With that out of the way, I now give you my review subjects for the first six months.
January is a time for a fresh start, so there’s no better way for me to open the new year than by checking out the next chapter in the “cosmic joke of a life” of our familiar female anti-heroine. After helping a young woman reach her Italian destination, Lady Vasko and her fellow assassin/lover Ajira will now find themselves on a European venture filled with high stakes, flying bullets, spilled blood and tense action all around. Things are about to get hectic within the old continent for our gritty gals as I take aim at a two-part tale called “Painkiller Jane: Beautiful Killers”.
February has us returning to the TomorrowVerse as an impeding threat of cosmic proportions is now looming large over this plane of existence. With the multiverse in danger of being wiped out by an all-powerful being, various figures from different worlds must come together in order for them to stand a chance against this nigh-impossible threat. In what will be my 50th DC Universe Animated Original Movie review, I’m going to fall suit and split it into three parts. As such, let the trip towards the end begin in “Justice League: Crisis On Infinite Earths, Part One”.
March sees us making a Morphinominal return to Boom Studios’ longtime run with a famous franchise as we see that someone’s time in the uniform doesn’t necessarily end when they initially want it to. Despite leaving the team behind her, our athletic lady of gymnastic skills will find herself taking up the mantle once again in order to embark on a rescue mission that sees her folks caught within some sinister clutches. Not only that, but she’ll need to enlist some familiar teammates in order to make sure that her parents get their deserved freedom. Kimberly Hart will be leading the charge while I tackle her six-part saga called “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Pink”.
April will allow us to continue our three-part reviewing trek upon a massive narrative where all life within the DC Multiverse is at risk and the grand being that looks to tear it all down is showing no signs of remotely relenting on this horrid venture. As for the various efforts that our united superheroes and superheroines will need to exert in order to make any significant progress, I’ll see how well those attempts went down within this middle chapter as my 50th DCUAOM analysis continues by delving into “Justice League: Crisis On Infinite Earths, Part Two”.
May brings us back to the Marvel Cinematic Universe as our favorite Armored Avenger has initially come into his own by smiting a corrupt business partner before sharing his secret identity to the masses. Nowadays, he appears to have the whole world singly-handedly protected, yet the very thing that powers his suits isn’t being entirely healthy to him. Not to mention, two different figures whom the Stark family has previously spurred will be looking to tear our main man down. Tony is about to face some new troubles while I tackle some tie-in comics connected to “Iron Man 2”.
June will close out the first half of the year, as well as the TomorrowVerse as a whole. Things are looking absolutely dire as all hope against a masterful being seems completely lost for the multiverse. In order to save their worlds and finally smite this all-powerful foe, a grim possibility begins to loom as some key sacrifices are starting to become a reality. The end is looming large upon this line of animated superhero movies as I close out this large-scale trilogy by sharing my critical thoughts on “Justice League: Crisis On Infinite Earths, Part Three”.
As always, this list is subject to change. As we begin to make our way into the second half of the 2020s, who knows what grand triumphs, looming tragedies and surprising discoveries await us. While we venture towards the great unknown, I hope to help ease whatever hardships you may come across over these trying years. Until then, stay safe as I hope to see you around the C-Cubed!
