162 on Detective Comics #957 reviewSPOILER ALERT! No, not that kind of spoiler. The other kind of Spoiler. The kind that's irrationally mad at Batman and irrationally tries to be like Batman, but not exactly like Batman. Anyway, Spoiler's ahead in Detective Comics #957, and SPOILERS (the kind you'll want to avoid if you haven't read this yet) AHEAD. Not the…
If you're new to comics, Super Sons is a low barrier to entry. And if you're not new, you probably already know what I'm talking about—it's super fun, super easy to read, and superbly drawn. #4 closes out the first story this week, and while it didn't quite reach the heights of the first three installments, it…
A crisis on the Watchtower! Still trying to put together the pieces of their adventures with the White Mercy, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman have no choice but to put a pin in it and save the day—in space! Trinity #9, right now! Exquisite visuals After a few issues with other artists, Trinity receives a huge bump…
Deathstroke has captured the Wallys West! Determined to harness the power of the speed force to save his long-dead son, Slade tries to use the speedsters to go back in time and make things right. But with two young super-teams missing their fastest men, it's only a matter of time before both sets of Titans come…
Jessica Cruz is dead! Or, she will be if Barry and Batsy can't figure out a way to save everything. Will the Flash and the Batman succeed? Will it matter? Hard to read Before I—of necessity—tear down Justice League #21, let me say that I applaud Hitch for trying to do things a bit differently.…
Funko's Legion of Collectors is at it again, with May's Wonder Woman box. It's hard to top March's Superman, but this one gives it a good try. And if Pop!s are your thing, I think you'd be very happy with what you get. If nothing else, this has me more hyped for the film, which—in…
Inspired by the cover for the ninth installment of Frank Miller and Jim Lee's unfinished All-Star Batman & Robin (henceforward ASBR), the fine folks at Kotobukiya have delivered one of their best Batman statues yet—and thrown in a pretty nifty Robin, to boot. Featuring energetic poses and excellent sculpting, this Dynamic Duo of 1/10 scale statues is…
Suicide Squad is hands-down one of the most fun books that DC is publishing right now. And Suicide Squad #17 might be the most fun book published this week. Tony Daniel's artwork is popping, especially on Zod, and the sight of him maniacally diving into battle, spewing arrogant banter the whole time, makes my heart sing.…
Welcome back to Break from the Bat, your monthly dose of the wide world of comics outside of Gotham! A little over a year ago, I took a short look at Mark Waid's first volume of Archie. I shouldn't like Archie—who wants to revisit high school and all of those silly emotional crises that come…
Grounded in Qurac! Red Hood and the Outlaws have been shot out of the sky, but who fired the bolt? Bizarro plays hero for some displaced citizens while Jason confronts his demons, but can they get to Artemis before her past consumes her? You have questions—Red Hood and the Outlaws #10 has answers! Spoilers ahead…
Comics are awesome. If you disagree, you're wrong, and I will give you a moment to find the door. But maybe you don't exactly disagree, yet you've also never read any comics. Maybe—like me—you didn't grow up with them. Maybe you wanted to, but you couldn't afford them. That's probably a lot of you: "I'd…
Justice League #20 brought us an interesting—if undercooked—take on the Groundhog Day concept. I still have little hope for the series with its current team, but it was nice to have a break from the especially bad issues of late. The mystery of "The Button" continued in Batman #22, and if nothing else, I really enjoyed…
Jessica Cruz is dead! The Flash is not fast enough to save his friend, and a madman with a doomsday weapon threatens to wipe out everything. Jessica Cruz is dead! The Flash is not fast enough to save his friend, and a madman with a doomsday weapon threatens to wipe out everything. Jessica Cruz is dead! The…
You've read the review, now make it your own: in celebration of Free Comic Book Day, the fine folks at Downtown Bookworks are giving away three (3) copies of their excellent DC Super Hero Joke Book. Here's what I think about it: Whether you buy this for the jokes, the art, or both, it’s hard…
Thankfully, the jump was only literal. Teen Titans #7 was a super-fun romp with plenty of verbal and physical disrespect. And with Aqualad's "rise" complete, I'm looking forward to seeing what the book looks like with him as a regular. Too bad for him his first assignment's Deathstroke... I thought 'Tec was just okay, but…
King Shark! Aqualad! Awesome! The Titans come face-to-face with the terror that has been putting blood in the water, and he sure has lots of teeth. But as they track down King Shark, Jackson Hyde comes after them. Can he find a home with the team? And will there even be anything left of the…
Another week, another villain getting the drop on the Dark Knight. To be fair, Batman #21 didn't paint Bruce as incompetent or unskilled, so it's not the same exact thing; but am I the only one who would like to see seven days go by in which our boy Bats is not overpowered or outsmarted by an enemy?…
Realities collide! In the aftermath of the universe-fusing events of Superman: Reborn, Clark lets Bruce and Diana in on the battle for truth that has been raging in his psyche. But are these visions more than dreams? And if they are, what do they mean for the wider world of DC's heroes? An interesting premise... While…
Molly is evil! The most well-disguised shady watch salesman in the history of forever has shown her true colors (Spray-On Gold #7), and the Justice League faces perhaps their greatest challenge yet: making me care! Will they succeed? Can the ship be set aright at last? Find out in Justice League #19 as "The Timeless" takes…
I must confess: I've not been keeping up with Justice League of America. Josh's reviews haven't been very encouraging, and I'm already struggling through one Justice League title at the moment. But as I was browsing through preview pages, I couldn't help but notice the Dark Knight sporting what sure looks like a Mighty Shield™. And I…
