Tsuna vs Zero

Zero
Tsuna is back and he’s up against Zero! They’re both some of the highest ranked characters on the blog, so this will definitely be quite the fight! Zero has his Black Nightmare form and he can use it to fly at pretty high speeds, but Tsuna will make him look as if he’s frozen in time. Zero won’t be able to win this round and this is one of those rare occasions where he’s completely out of his league. Even Goku would have a tough time with a fighter of this caliber. Tsuna wins.

Silver Surfer vs Mephisto

This is a pretty big battle and it also happens to be the blog’s 12400th post! That’s a pretty cool milestone and it means that we must think about this battle carefully. Silver Surfer possesses the Power Cosmic and one good blast can eradicate most enemies. Mephisto is strong, but his darkness will not be able to penetrate Silver Surfer’s light! The Silver Surfer takes a solid win and he moves up the blog ranks. Silver Surfer wins.

Foxbat vs Frenzy

Frenzy is pretty tricky when it comes to long range combat, but he won’t be able to match up with Foxbat. Foxbat has super strength and all of his other stats are above average as well. All he would need is a couple of solid shots to take Frenzy down once and for all. Frenzy just won’t be able to keep up with such a savage fighter. Foxbat wins.

Eddie Morra vs Batman Beyond

Batman Beyond is back and now he’s up against Eddie Morra. Eddie may be able to see all 50 scenarios of the battle, but Batman Beyond wins in all of them. There is just no way for Eddie to defeat Batman Beyond when his hand to hand skills aren’t up to par with Terry’s. Not to mention that Batman Beyond has heightened strength. Batman Beyond wins.

Agent Bob vs Deadpool

You may not have heard of Agent Bob, but he’s met Deadpool in the past. They’ve teamed up several times and Agent Bob is not someone who should be taken lightly. That being said, Deadpool has the clear advantage in this battle. Deadpool is an expert hand to hand fighter and his unpredictability will prove to be deadly for Agent Bob. Agent Bob won’t be able to read his movements. Deadpool wins.

Flash Shadow of The Sun Review

9781434226167

I’ve read many DC books in the past, but I haven’t read many that were specifically about the Flash. Granted that this is more about Kid Flash than his mentor, but it’s still the Flash’s book. It was nice to see him battle in book format, but it can be really hard to accurately depict such a fighter in text. Will the book still be able to shine?

The book starts out with a very tough Warden talking to the Senator and bringing him to the prison. They’re both talking very tough until they realize that the Shade is tougher than he looks. The Shade causes some trouble for the city so the two Flashes go to check things out. Can they really match up against such a dangerous foe?

I will definitely give the book props for the fact that the battle lasts the entire book once it starts. The Shade was very tough to take seriously in the DCAU, but technically his powers are decent. He is out of his league against the Scarlet Speedster, but the Shade has come prepared this time. The Flash was definitely a likable character as expected, but I didn’t care for Bart. Bart was constantly getting upset and he was pretty full of himself. Flash had a lot of good puns to calm him down, but Bart seemed to be a downer.

Bart does have his “Hero” moment where he does something dangerous to try and help people, but it couldn’t save him. I had thought that he was going to use his ability to time travel since they hinted at it, but it wasn’t meant to be. I don’t agree with the fact that Bart was out speeding Barry, but we can’t win em all right? The Shade was a decent villain and you can definitely sympathize with him. That being said, he definitely took a long time to realize that he actually had powers within him. Pretty unfortunate timing for the Senator! In retrospect, this book may actually have had some fatalities, which is pretty rare for the series.

Overall, this was a pretty solid DC chapter book. I’d actually go ahead and say that it was in my personal top 3 for the series. The battle was solid and the cast of characters was also fun. The book succeeded in all areas and while it was short, it made the most of the page count. If this is a sign of what future Flash books will be like, then I’m ready!

Overall 7/10

Haruyuki vs Bass

Haruyuki makes his debut onto the blog and it’s time for a solid loss. He doesn’t have the strength of character that is needed to fight Bass and walk out alive. Bass has speed and power that are leagues ahead of anything that Haruyuki can dish out. Haruyuki has absolutely no chance against Bass and he’ll go down quickly against the powerful warrior. Bass wins.

Kumonga vs Havok

Kumonga’s a kaiju of immense power, but in the end he just won’t be able to take Havok down. Havok has some intense energy blasts. Not even Kumonga will be able to stand up to such an onslaught for long. Havok’s just far too powerful for Kumonga. Kumonga takes a hard loss in this round. Havok wins.

Tsuna vs Jack Sparrow

Tsuna has proven time and time again that he is a winner and not someone who will go down easily. His speed and power are far superior to the average fighter and he could take just about anyone down. One could even make the argument that Tsuna would give Goku a good fight. While that may be up for debate, Tsuna can still win this round pretty easily. Jack’s guns won’t do him any good. Tsuna wins.

Dio Brando vs Luigi

Luigi may be a very brave fighter when he needs to be, but he won’t be able to defeat Dio Brando. Dio Brando’s speed will allow him to dodge all of Luigi’s attacks and even if he were somehow hit by one of them, he would not take any damage. Dio Brando’s regenerative abilities are far too potent for Luigi’s level of power. Dio Brando wins.
