0 on Super Hero Science book review: Informative, entertaining, and littered with classic artworkI repeat myself, but Downtown Bookworks is the single best publisher of super hero-based kids books in the market, and it isn't even close. Their ever-expanding library serves a wide range of ages and topics, but the common threads are always there: they treat kids with respect, and they show great veneration for pre-modern DC…
Jason Todd, respectable casino owner and businessman. Evidently, some people in Gotham believe it, but the rest of us, we know the truth. With Cobblepot still in captivity, the Red Hood sets off for a foreign destination to further monkey with the Penguin's professional partnerships. But things aren't all peachy at the Iceberg, there's been…
Video courtesy of my site Comics Now. Used with permission. After looking curiously at Mezco's One:12 Collective for the past several years, I finally took the plunge last fall and preordered one. Then I preordered another. Then I bought a monkey. And now... Darkseid is We saw Darkseid at Toy Fair, and I've been intrigued since he…
Harley Quinn is huge. I'm sure I've used this joke before, but you can't throw a crowbar at a comic convention without hitting at least six Harley cosplayers. And with being huge comes merchandise, and Diamond Select Toys has put out quite a few Harley collectibles in recent years. Some of them, I've been absolutely…
Up, up, and away! Superman attempts to escape his lonely prison planet, but the grass isn't really any greener on...FUTURE APOKOLIPS! The League is caught in straits most dire, and their greatest mind—the Dark Knight himself—seems poised to betray their ideals. What the heck is up with that? I mean, really? Find out—maybe—in Justice League #23. SPOILERS…
Video courtesy of my site, Comics Now. Used with permission (duh). Diamond Select's Gallery line is a great value at $45. At that price, it's tough to find too much to complain about. The sculpts are always excellent, and I usually have a "I can't believe it's plastic" feeling after looking at them. The paint is decent,…
Tweeterhead's Super Powers line is shaping up to be one of the most impressive collections on the market. With a dynamite array of characters already released or in-progress, their clean, simple designs represent DC's finest in their purest forms. After revealing their outstanding Batgirl a few weeks ago, the company has now teased their Facebook…
Injustice 2 has been out for a while now, but as things usually go, new merchandise continues to trickle out. After producing some dynamite Vinimates based on the game (including an amazing Black Manta), Diamond Select Toys is back at it with two GameStop-exclusive Gallery statues. Look for my review of Batman in the coming…
Impish behavior! Snarky starfish! DOOM! For the Justice League left on Earth, this is reality. But long ago, at the beginning of everything, we find the origin of our story. Perpetua makes a multiverse, in Justice League #22. SPOILERS AHEAD. MAYBE. So. Many. Words. James Tynion's "Legion of Doom" interludes occasionally surprise and delight me. Other times, they…
When I first became aware of Mezco, I wasn't that impressed. For one thing, I wasn't all that interested in collecting figures (of any kind). But beyond that, I suppose I just lumped Mezco's popular One:12 line in with the wide range of brands offering 6-inch figures with interchangeable parts. But boy, was I wrong.…
Jason Todd: Gotham Businessman of the Year! After his hostile takeover of the Iceberg lounge from its worthless, waddling founder, the Red Hood is settling in for a quiet night of innocent club ownership. But a blast from the Caste from his past has other plans, and a brawl between manifold weirdos ensues. See for…
DC’s cast of colorful characters are nothing if not malleable. Years of creative Elseworlds stories, Batman Ninja, Gotham City Garage, Bombshells—I could go on, but you get the picture. So while I couldn’t help but laugh when I first saw Funko’s Primal Age line of ancient, warrior-clan DC action figures, I wasn’t really surprised. After…
Funko’s Pop! vinyl collectibles are a worldwide phenomenon, and even if you have no interest in comic books or other nerdery, you’ve likely seen them around and recognize their distinctive styles—even if you don’t know what they’re called. But Pop!s aren’t all Funko does, and they’ve seen great success with the Dorbz, Pint-Sized Hero, and…
Something is smelly in Boca Raton! While Superman battles his grayer, beardlier, handsomer, futurer self in a dark dimension, and Mera, Starman, and Jarro try to keep Mxyzptlk from unraveling the fabric of everything, the rest of the League is in the lap of luxury in their utopian future. But all that glitters is not…
If you've ever been to any flavor of Comic Con, then you know that there are a few universal truths. For example, one cannot throw a disparaging glare without hitting a Harley Quinn. One also cannot throw a Harley Quinn without hitting some manner of vinyl collectible. Funko's Pop! line is clearly the favorite in…
The Justice League goes sight-seeing—IN THE FUTURE! While Mera, Starman, and Jarro keep vigil over Mxyzptlk, and Superman rots in a dark, sandy prison, the rest of the crew travels to the Sixth Dimension to see how they won it all. Because we all believe that's what happened, right? There's nothing suspect about this Future…
A silent guardian. A watchful protector. A dark knight. Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy is widely considered the greatest on-screen take on Gotham's favorite son. Sure, like any interpretation, it has its detractors, but the aggregate sentiment seems to swing Nolan's way. You can count me among the faithful, so when Diamond Select announced last year…
The prodigal prince of Gotham returns! Jason Todd has been living it up and making friends in the American heartland, and now he's come back home to share all of the goodness he picked up along the way. Batman better get ready for hugs, respect, and unconditional obedience in Red Hood: Outlaw #32. SPOILERS MAY OR MAY…
The Legion of Doom has Perpetua, and they're only two dark energies short of the seven they need to wake her up! What's a Justice League to do? It's the beginning of the next piece in Scott Snyder's grand multiversal puzzle—"The Sixth Dimension" starts now, in Justice League #19! The bulk of this review originally…
Jada Toys has been producing lots of DC-related merch for years, from their awesome Batmobiles, to their Nanofigs, to the stylized Metals line. Cool stuff. I've never gotten my hands on any of it until now (with the exception of some very lately-acquired BvS Metals), though. After connecting with Jada at Toy Fair, I heard…
