4 on Detective Comics #1019 reviewHere we have the conclusion of Detective’s latest two-issue story: "Dead of Winter." Basically, this is what some would consider filler material, and while I wouldn't disagree with that, I don’t think that “filler” is always a bad thing. That said, seeing as the previous issue was mostly just setup, the creative team doesn’t have…
Detective Comics starts 2020 with a brand new arc, written by Peter Tomasi and illustrated by Scott Godlewski and David Baron. So far, I’ve been enjoying Tomasi’s run on the series, and I appreciate that Tomasi writes Bruce as a more likeable guy who’s trying to do the right thing, as opposed to the brooding,…
It’s been a while since Last Knight on Earth #2 was released. The first two issues were really solid but, seeing as it’s taken months to get to this conclusion, I have to admit that I had to go back and reread everything because I had forgotten quite a bit of what had happened. Reading…
I haven’t enjoyed a Harley Quinn story as much as I have enjoyed Harleen since Dini and Timms’ Mad Love. I often find it hard to relate to recent iterations of the character, because a lot of writers seem to sacrifice deep character progression for wacky, over-the-top comedy. Of course, this is largely a matter…
The first issue of Joker: Killer Smile is excellent. Lemire, Sorrentino and Bellaire have introduced a different version of Gotham City than I’m used to, and while I was slightly disappointed when I first learned that their Gotham’s lacking the gargoyles and zeppelins, I think I’m starting to see why the creative team has made…
In the pages of the Batman/Superman ongoing the titular protagonists are up against The Batman Who Laughs, who has infected several heroes. To go along with the current Batman/Superman arc, DC is publishing one-shots to explore what each infected hero is going through. The fourth of these one-shots is The Infected: The Commissioner #1. The…
If you’ve been following my reviews on this series, you will probably have noticed that the overall score has gone down from issue to issue. You may also have noticed that I’ve had similar complaints throughout the series so far. It’s no different for this issue. I don't think this is a particularly good comic,…

Issues #1-3 of this series weren’t exactly my cup of tea, but nevertheless I got some entertainment out of them. Issue #4, on the other hand, is hard to read for me. Not only do I tend to get bored when I see superheroes fighting each other (an outdated trope that Supergirl in this very…

I first discovered Sorrentino on I, Vampire, and I became a fan of his work pretty much right away. I have been following him from project to project ever since. Lemire is one of those creators I have always had mad respect for, seeing as this guy writes a ton of books and even finds…
The first issue of Harleen is excellent, and, frankly, much better than it even needed to be. In my review I praised it for giving us a more down-to-earth and serious version of Harley, instead of the erratic, out-of-control, happy-go-lucky prankster that we see in the main comic series. Usually I end these introductions with…
And so we arrive at DCeased’s conclusion. This has been a fast-paced series, and that pacing has been a strength and a weakness. On the one hand, Taylor can’t afford to waste a single panel and has chosen his story beats wisely, but on the other hand, this is a typical case where clearly the…
Since issue #1 I have been having mixed feelings about this series. There are things that I enjoy, and then there are things that I really dislike. This third issue doesn’t do anything to change my overall opinion on the series so far, as it manages to entertain me about as much as it manages…
Since issue #4’s cliffhanger, I have been wondering where Taylor and Hairsine are taking this story, and I can safely say that, after reading #5, I still have no clue. What I do know is that this issue is crazy. A rollercoaster ride. So, let’s waste no time and have a look. DCeased, as a…
I should start this review by saying that I’m a fan of Stjepan Sejic’s work. I have thoroughly enjoyed his run on Aquaman (issues #25-30). I have also read some of his explicit Sunstone stories, and I think his writing on that title is quite good because he has a way of examining his characters’…
The first issue of Batman/Superman ended with our heroes stepping in the Batman Who Laughs’ cave and encountering an infected Shazam. This second issue, after a brief intro page, drops us into the middle of the battle between our heroes and Shazam. It’s a fast and entertaining read, but can it also be considered a…
