15 on Justice League #24 reviewMera is on a rampage! The League investigates some powerful phenomena at sea, only to find the would-be queen of Atlantis playing dangerous with the ocean. The Aquaman tie-in that we never knew we wanted (and still aren't sure about) If you didn't read Aquaman #25, then you may experience some initial confusion in Justice…
I sure didn't see it coming, but this week's Batman/Elmer Fudd Special #1 is a strong contender for best Batman comic of the year. A fantastically illustrated, perfectly-written crime drama, this is easily the cream of the Looney Tunes crossover crop, and one of my favorite books of the year. Things got even more mystical…
Who is Jackson Hyde? Where does the newest member of the Teen Titans come from? The mysterious past of Aqualad comes to light in Teen Titans #9. SPOILERS AHEAD. A mushy start In what seems to be standard form, Teen Titans #9 gets off to a bit of a slow start. Pham's characters aren't nearly as consistent with the…
I really enjoyed Batman #25, and I can't wait to see what happens next. I haven't loved everything in this run, but I almost always look forward to reading it. And if I can have a good time reading Batman comics, I'm a happy camper. There were a number of "extra-sized anniversary" issues this week…
The Justice League tussles with its most fearsome foe yet—distasteful ideology! When a technologically enhanced caricature tries to swat a Nomalian city with ties to terrorism, Batman, Wonder Woman and Lantern Cruz aren't having it. It's the League vs. The Black Shield, in Justice League #23. A bit heavy-handed at the start After one trip…
Superboy is under the control of Manchester Black! With the mastermind (and master plan) revealed, Superman and friends must stop Black and restore Jon's will before things escalate further. But can they? Find out in an extra-sized Superman #25! A little muddled early on The first half of our story deals with the inevitable battle…
Cyborg is dying! The mysterious outbreak on the Watchtower has left Victor in critical condition, and as Batman and the Flash race to save him, Superman and Wonder Woman try to make sense of the mystery with the help of a strange visitor. Things come closer to crashing down in Trinity #10! Manapul has lost…
Bryan Hitch, writer (and sometimes artist) on Justice League since the start of Rebirth, will be wrapping up his run on the title with a story beginning in issue #33. Barring any delays or other breaks, it should be released on the third Wednesday in November. Assuming it isn't longer than the typical six-issue arc, we should have…
Every month, I take you on a trip through the world of non-Batman comics. Starting with June's edition, I'll be sharing some goodies with a lucky winner once each month. Basically, if I get any digital codes when I pick up my books at the store, I'm going to save them and pass them on.…
Dark Days: The Forge dropped this week, and it gave us the latest in a long line of images featuring Batman physically intimidating an unlikely opponent. I'll bet that volcano will never hurt anyone again. Detective had a serviceable start to its new arc, RHATO lulled for the first time, and the Martian Manhunter's empathy turned…
Welcome back to Break from the Bat, our monthly trip outside of Gotham to the wide world of comics beyond. And this month, we are really beyond. I humbly submit for your consideration: Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer The brainchild of award-winning newspaper cartoonist Dusty Higgins, Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer picks up where the classic tale leaves off.…
Spotlight on Azrael! Jean Paul Valley may have overcome his programming, but he may never truly be free of the Order of St. Dumas. When an old friend brings grave tidings, the once Avenging Angel and his new team must come face to face with the evil grown in his absence. Spoilers ahead! Putting the…
We've reached the tipping point! As the Amazons of Bana-Mighdall confront General Heinle and his army, the Outlaws find themselves on different sides of the same conflict. But who's right? And can their friendship survive? Find out in Red Hood and the Outlaws #11. A disappointing conclusion to an engaging arc Even the best of…

So. That happened. You don't know what that is? Well, I'm not going to tell you. And if you really want to know, it's out there. If you click on that link, you will know. And then we'll both know. You know? But anyway, we finally got an issue of Justice League that I can recommend with…
Quarantine on the Watchtower! An infestation has the League (and a few guests) stuck 22,300 miles above Earth. Can they neutralize the threat without any casualties? And can they do it in time for Lois to make her deadline? Find out in Justice League #22! Mild spoilers ahead. A whole lot of fun at precisely…
The Wonder Woman film officially opens in the US today, so it was fitting that DC would release her first Rebirth annual this week. The buzz around the film has been great, and the excellent Wonder Woman Annual #1 only adds to the hype. "The Lazarus Contract" came to an end in Teen Titans Annual #1, and—like…
If, for some odd reason, you still haven't read Batman writer Tom King's astoundingly beautiful run on The Vision, there's never been a better time to catch up. Right now, you can have the entire run for less than five bucks, as both trades are on sale for $2.20 a piece on Amazon/comiXology. I've been…
The unholy alliance lives on! After measuring moustaches back in Trinity #7, Ra's al Ghûl and the witch Circe take their designs against our heroes to the next level. But an unstable ally of the League waits in the shadows, and things are about to get complicated for everyone involved. Wrong story, wrong time This…
A lot happened this week in comics. But I think the one moment that mattered most—the one we'll be talking about for years to come—is when Clay Mann gave General Zod a badonkadonk and wrapped it in lycra. Sadly, neither Zod nor his bulbous tush actually made it into the interior of Action Comics, so…
Revenge! Some of Superman's fiercest foes have joined forces to finish the Man of Steel for good. But they're missing a crucial partner, and in Action Comics #980, they're coming for Zod. SOME SPOILERS AHEAD Poorly-plotted One of my favorite aspects of Rebirth's rejiggering of Action has been the return of stories that look at various…
