5 on Batman/Superman 2021 Annual #1 reviewYes, the main story from Yang and Reis’ run ended in issue #21, but we haven’t seen the last of the Superman, Batman and Robin from the Archive of Worlds! Their stories continue in this annual, and I can say upfront that if you’ve enjoyed Yang’s run so far, you’re going to want to pick…
Here we are. The conclusion to Yang and Reis’ story. Yes, there will be one more issue after this as well as an annual, so this series isn’t quite over yet, but this is indeed the conclusion to the story that started in issue #16. I don’t want this series to end. I don’t want…
The current Detective Comics run has been hit or miss for me. I’ve enjoyed some issues and I’ve disliked others. The main draw for me is still Mora and Bellaire’s art, and when Mora isn’t on art duties—as is the case with this issue—I’m glad that Bogdanovic is stepping in. But, as good as the…
This series is slowly growing on me. Every issue reveals more about what’s going on and I’m beginning to understand the story better. As such, I think this will read better in trade, because then the story’s momentum won’t be interrupted by a whole month of waiting for the next installment and everything can be…
I’ve been critiquing this series quite a bit, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t find it entertaining. On the contrary, I’m always looking forward to more Dan Mora and Jordie Bellaire art! To me, they are DC’s best art team at the moment and it’s a real treat that they’re on Detective Comics. But what…
When this book was first announced, I thought to myself, “Oh…another Joker story…” Initially, this didn’t pique my interest at all and I kind of forgot about it. Then we had to figure out who was going to review this title, and I decided to read the comic and see what this was even about,…
All right, folks, Reis is back on art duties! Look, I’ve been singing this book’s praises since the start of this arc, and I’m going to continue doing just that in this review. So let’s just get right into it! Of all the DC books that I’ve been reading, this one is easily the most…
The previous issue, which was also intended as the first arc’s finale, was disappointing. It didn’t feel like a true finale, but rather like a middle-of-the-road chapter, as it left too many plot threads unresolved. Hopefully this second arc will be better overall, because I want this run to be successful! This chapter is mainly…
If there’s one artist that I’ve been wanting to draw a full Batman comic, it’s Andrea Sorrentino, known for critically acclaimed comics such as Green Arrow, Old Man Logan and Gideon Falls. Well, my fellow comic fans, the time has come at last! In October Sorrentino will be joining forces with The Batman co-writer Mattson…
There are a lot of ideas in this series that I like, but I haven’t always been a fan of the execution of those ideas. The previous issue was certainly an improvement, as it had several scenes that I liked a lot, but there were also moments where I had my doubts and concerns. Still,…
We’ve reached the conclusion of Tamaki’s first arc, “The Neighborhood.” Gradually, I’ve been getting more and more critical of this series, but I was still hoping that the creative team would be able to stick the landing. Do they succeed? Let’s have a look. Well…while I wouldn’t say this entire comic book is bad, I…
I’m sad and disappointed. I’ve been reviewing this title since #1, and it’s no secret that I’ve been very critical of the series during the previous writer’s run. Bluntly put, I thought the previous run was just plain bad. Then Future State happened, and Yang took over as the writer. I had never read Yang’s…
I have enjoyed most of this run so far, although the previous issue’s writing was questionable. Unfortunately, this week it's not much better, as I still find myself writing the same critiques. It all comes down to this: the narrative is lacking focus, which holds back the quality of the overall story-telling. First of all,…
So I wasn’t the biggest fan of #1. The creative team was making too many references to things that happened off-panel, and mainly because of that the first issue failed to hook me. But, since it was just the first issue, I’ve approached #2 with an optimistic mindset, hoping that things would improve. So, without…
I’ve been feeling optimistic about Tamaki’s Detective Comics run so far. The mystery at the heart of the story has been interesting and the artwork has been beyond amazing. However, Tamaki’s work has been flawed as well. Sometimes she overexplains things by relying too heavily on exposition or by adding more words than necessary. And…
The previous two Batman/Superman issues are outstanding comics. On the one hand, it’s great when a creative team starts out strong. On the other hand, there lies a great challenge in this, because the team has set a high bar for themselves. Will they be able to keep up the level of quality? Let’s have…
Although I’ve critiqued this current run (which started in the Future State: Dark Detective issues) quite a bit, I do think it’s been an entertaining story. With every new issue, I’m warming up more to Tamaki’s approach to Batman, and I’m getting more invested in the story. That certainly hasn’t changed with this issue, so…
This book doesn’t start off like a typical Justice League adventure. The tone is rather grim, and there’s conflict within the League. I think as a first issue, it’s successful in setting up the plot and the status quo. But, even though all these pieces are in-place so the creative team can get the story…
This is a great comic! Among the many different books on stands these days, Batman/Superman certainly stands out. While it’s too early to judge the overall quality of the current arc, seeing as this is only the second chapter and more will follow, I am totally on board for now, and I appreciate that Yang…
This is the second chapter of Tamaki’s first arc on Detective Comics. Last month’s episode was fun, even though it was mostly setup for the rest of the story. My main complaint about the previous issue was that the creative team and editors weren’t paying as much attention to detail as I would have liked.…
