6 on Batman/Superman: World's Finest #13 reviewLast month we got a very fun one-shot, and this month the new arc begins. Mora is back on art duties, and I’m really looking forward to this story as it will involve Metamorpho and a murder. This has easily been my favorite DC title for months now, so let’s not waste any time and…
Bruce’s adventures in an alternate universe continue. The first two issues of the current arc weren’t very strong. I remember still enjoying the first chapter, but the creative team started to lose me with chapter two. Going into #133, I’m not feeling particularly optimistic. Will the creative team be able to get things back on…
The previous arc was pretty dark at times, and there was a lot going on in terms of character development and story structure. Sometimes, after having concluded an arc like that, it can be nice to take a step back and tell a one-and-done story. Not only does this give Mora, the ongoing artist, a…
I think I’m getting a little tired of this series. I haven’t enjoyed any of the issues so far for various reasons, and I’m not feeling particularly excited about this one, either. But I am curious about how last month’s plot twists—Ortega deciding to start murdering people—plays out and I’m holding on to a shred…
Bruce is lost in an alternate dimension, where we’re seeing variations of familiar characters, especially from the rogues gallery, including Harvey Dent and Red Mask. The previous issue was entertaining, but the concept of this alternate version of Gotham still seems uninspired to me. Can the creative team up the ante, or is it just…
I haven’t been particularly interested in most of the One Bad Day one-shots. Creating a Killing Joke kind of comic for a few of the other rogues sounds like an uninspired concept to me. I also haven’t really enjoyed some of the previous one-shots in this series; it’s been a little underwhelming, for the most…
While this comic might work for some, to me it’s been rather boring. My biggest complaint about the previous issue was that there were various themes that were fighting for the spotlight, and none of them were really being fleshed out. I’ve been hoping that perhaps the halfway point of this 6-issue series would inject…
It’s the final issue of the second arc, and it’s been a lot of fun so far. Can Superman and Batman save David? Can David become the hero that he’s supposed to be or will he fall to the dark side? Can the creative team end this arc on a high note? Let’s have a…
The final issue of the “Failsafe” arc, which came out last month, was not to my liking. While the ending was intriguing enough for me to want to see what Zdarsky would do next, the way it was executed was uninspired and derivative. But this is the start of a new arc, and I’m hoping…
I wasn’t a fan of the previous issue. To me, the characters weren’t fleshed out enough; themes weren’t explored in a lot of depth so it remained surface level; and the action wasn’t very exciting. This is a 6-issue miniseries, and now we’re halfway with #3. I think the creative team can still turn things…
This story keeps getting better and better with every issue. My main critique last month was that the villains need a bit more development to really justify their appearances and their actions, but so far I’ve been loving the fantastic artwork and the great character interactions. The previous issue ended with David being captured by…
Last month the JLA Watchtower was destroyed and Batman ended up floating around in space. I did not like last month’s issue, because the whole situation was too convoluted and over-the-top. This issue picks up where we left off last time, and I’m praying that the creative team can put out something good, because this…
Geoff Johns and Mikel Janín have joined forces to create a new 12-issue JSA series. It’s something a lot of readers have been looking forward to, seeing as the JSA hasn’t gotten a lot of panel time in recent years. Personally, I’m looking forward to seeing this creative team try something new with the book,…
There were a few things that I liked about last month's first issue, and then there were a bunch of things that I disliked. My main critique had to do with the fact that a lot of the social criticism was rather on-the-nose instead of organically integrated in the narrative. I said that it wasn’t…
The first two issues of the current arc have been great. The creative team is putting a lot of effort into developing David’s character, as well as fleshing out the drama that revolves around him. I’m eager to get into issue #9, so let’s just have ourselves a look! The character work continues to be…
Failsafe has taken over Gotham. The Bat Family and the JLA are defeated. Batman is hiding out in Atlantis, trying to come up with a plan. I was not very impressed with the previous issue because it was presenting a scenario that’s been done over and over again, just with different villains and conflicts. I’ve…
The series' second arc, which started in last month’s issue, continues this week. I was a big fan of the previous installment, which introduced the new character, David, who has now stepped into the role of Boy Thunder, Superman’s sidekick. The current arc was off to a great start, but can the creative team keep…
This is a new miniseries that focuses on police officers in the streets rather than masked superheroes on the rooftops. At NYCC 2022, Ridley said that this book will mainly focus on social criticism, Renee’s struggles with her new position as commissioner and addiction, and that the book will be rather dark in tone. All…
While I’ve certainly had fun reading Zdarsky’s previous issues, I don’t believe that his run has been a home run so far at all. The Zur-En-Arrh stuff is pretty contrived when you really start to think about it, and at times it’s like Zdarsky is more concerned with having fun than crafting a story that…
This is the final issue of Task Force Z. Looking back, I started out liking the series quite a bit, but it has been a case of diminishing returns for me. About halfway through the series, I felt that the story was starting to ramble, and last month’s #11 didn’t quite work for me as…
