2 on DC Vs. Vampires #9 reviewFor every evil vampire, there is a vengeful soul out there looking for them. With the forces of good in the DC Universe mostly obliterated, there aren't many heroes not looking for vengeance. However, Supergirl's journey in DC Vs. Vampires #9 seeks out something beyond the horror. The story picks up as vampires Tobias Whale…
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, All-Out War isn't much of a war, but finally starts the fight properly.

If you were waiting for Cam to give you his next impassioned Jurassic League review, then I have bad news. Cam is sick and needs some time to heal. The good news is that I will be your host for the time being. I won't lie and say that you're in good hands, but I…
Transported to an elseworlds of brutal illustrations and onomatopoeias. A "what if" journey limited only by the breadth of the imagination. This is DCeased: War of The Undead Gods. I confess, I'm not that into DCeased as a series. I gave up on it early on as the DC universe began to fall into despair.…
SVOT is a heavily used business term. It is an acronym for the phrase, “Single Version Of The Truth.” It means that everyone in the organization has the same information, and should essentially be on the same page. In DC Vs. Vampires, I’m not seeing the synergy. When we last left off, Jayna had just…

The plot takes place one year after DC vs. Vampires #6, as Deathstroke’s surviving forces…
DC has been warned about their vampire problem since the New 52. As soon as Andrew Bennett was out of his toxic relationship, it was a matter of time before DC's overpowered vampires finally took over the world. Unsurprisingly, it only took six issues of the DC vs. Vampires series to do so. Now, issue…
In the Knights of Steel universe, the Batman is an emissary of the El Kingdom, caught in the middle of a long prophesied war. Unlike most of the other issues in the series thus far, Dark Knights of Steel #7 focuses more on a developing side plot about demons and magic. Issue #7 picks up…
Shadow War Omega #1 brings the Shadow War crossover event to a surprisingly shocking close. After a decent reveal of the big bad, the final issue allows room for a villain monologue, final battle, and subsequent consequences. While I’m sure no one saw the identity of the fake Deathstroke coming, I admit the signs were…
Joshua Williamson and Paolo Pantalena continue the Shadow War story in Deathstroke Inc.'s "Revenge Never Ends." It is an appropriate subtitle for this issue.

Titans usually focuses on either the teenage heroes in the DC Universe or their mature predecessors separately. Titans Academy focuses on mentorship for legacy characters.
