6 on Teen Titans #23 reviewAs the world waits for the #DCRebirth of the Titans, Tim and team continue to wander aimlessly around the middle of America, taking random days off and fighting every weirdo with a bad attitude. This week, they're up to more of the same. Read on to find out if it's worth your three bucks to…
Team Batman may have escaped from the Colony, but the war is far from over. Colonel Kane's dangerous plan to take out the League of Shadows is set in motion, and the Dark Knight's band of vigilantes has nary a moment to catch their breath with the safety of Gotham's citizens on the line. Can the heroes…
I do my best to give credit to the numerous artists contributing their skills to the books I review. To that end, I try to spend some time thinking about less obvious things, because an artist is always better than that one thing that stands out to you up front--whether that one thing is good…
Ah, Alfred. Where would Bruce be without you? Where would any of us? I've got to tell you, folks—seeing our faithful friend don the cape and cowl and stand up to Gotham was probably the highlight of my week in comics. We also had a few #1s, with decent debuts from Batgirl and the Birds…
I'm going to warn you right up front: there be spoilers here. To discuss the sheer awesomeness of Superman #5 requires revealing things that many of you may wish to discover for yourselves while reading the book. If you're one of those people, close your browser tab now, and come back later after you've read it…
As the mysterious Kindred begin to take shape, the League struggles to contain the threat from space. Even with the help of a Superman that they do not yet trust, our heroes are stretched to their limits. Will they break—will this three-front war prove more than the Justice League can handle? And perhaps most critically,…
We're almost halfway through August, and I don't know about where you live, but where I live, it's pretty dang hot right now. Maybe I'm just crazy from the heat, but of the #1's I've read this week, I've got to say Red Hood is at the top of my list. You got a problem…
After a mock-assassination attempt on the mayor, Jason Todd is now the most famous bad guy in Gotham—and that's saying something! It's all part of the plan, though, and Jason has promised Bruce that the Red Hood will play by the rules and not kill anybody. But how long can he do things Batman's way…
It's the first week of August, and we've already got two Harley books, one book featuring Harley prominently, and another book with the potential to bring Harley along in the near future (ball's in your court, Mr. King). She's even got a motion picture debuting this week, fer corn sakes! The good news is that…
It's been years since I first read Stephen King's The Gunslinger, but I'll never forget my sense of wonder at the world it created. It has enough evidence of our own society to suggest a link, and yet the discrepancies present a fascinating mystery about how things got the way they are. Greg Pak's Kingsway West #1 occupies…
Global seismic activity threatens to reduce the earth to rubble, and only the Justice League stands between the citizens of the world and certain destruction. Alien weapons, technological and biological, arrive in Gotham, and Batman fights to keep them from terrorizing his city. Ordinary people show signs of possession by the mysterious Kindred, and Wonder Woman,…
Who is Jason Todd? That's always the question, isn't it? In one sense, he is the product of the Bat and the Clown—the good and evil forces that have so profoundly shaped his life. And yet beneath his formative experiences, Jason has always been his own man. Whether as Robin or Red Hood, he has…
Like its immediate predecessor, Batman/Superman Volume 3 is a collection of several self-contained stories. One serves as a New 52 origin story for The Atom (or at least for when Ray Palmer started calling himself that), one ties into Doomed, and the last two tie in (somewhat) to Greg Pak's original arc for the series. What's included Inside, you'll find…
It's two months until Teen Titans gets the Rebirth treatment. If I'm looking at things right, this title is basically the last of the "soon-to-be-replaced" titles that DC is publishing, and we're still two months away. So while the rest of the DCU is moving on to better days, Red Robin's band of whiny wannabes…
All earthly things--good or bad--must come to an end, and Scott Lobdell's run on Teen Titans is no exception. In many cases, the end is a good thing: threads are tied up, points are made, and characters find resolution as the looming finish forces a writer to find focus. The Trial of Kid Flash is Lobdell's final…
After a month and a half of Rebirth, we finally get our first installment of the brand-new Justice League! Full of action, heroes, and creepy enemies, Justice League #1 will set the course for the foreseeable future of everyone's favorite super-team. For that reason alone it's worth checking out. There's a lot happening Our story…
Who is Killer Croc? What motivates him? Is he just a primal beast, or is there more to one of Batman's strongest, most brutal foes than meets the eye? With Rebirth recently begun and new creative teams plotting out the next few months and years in Gotham, now is the perfect time to get to know…
Welcome back to another edition of Break from the Bat! We're a month into Rebirth, and I don't know about the rest of you, but I am digging it! We've got solid-to-excellent books across the line now, and it's been a pleasure to see the market rewarding DC for its creative successes. Let's hop to…
What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? This is the essential question at the heart of DC Comics/Dark Horse: Aliens, a universe-melding collection of crossovers that bring everyone's favorite family of cuddly, face-sucking, toothy-tongued xenomorphs into the worlds of Batman, Superman, and the WildC.A.T.S. Throw in some 14,000 year-old Predators and a few…
Superman is dead. The Justice League lives, but how can it go on without its brightest, most hopeful hero? Can they turn to the new Superman on the scene? Can they trust him? Will he even help? Something is clearly missing. As yet another force seeks to destroy or enslave the people of Earth, the…
