9 on The Joker #7 reviewWith James Tynion IV jumping ship, the future of The Joker series might be up in the air — but one thing is quickly becoming an absolute certainty: my rapidly expanding disdain of this run. ART So. Art. Yeah. Where to begin. I’ve run the spectrum of lukewarm to occasionally positive regarding Guillem March’s art…
Time for more Justice League Infinity! The previous issues have been delightful. Will Justice League Infinity #3 keep up the momentum? And arguably more importantly, will we finally get a little more time with these characters we know and love? Read on to find out. ART Ethan Beaver’s art and Nick Filardi’s colors continue to…
Welp, we’ve arrived Teen Titans Academy’s beach episode... A beach episode that definitely — like the yearbook or any of the cornucopia of crossovers and the like — wouldn’t feel earned. But, fortunately for us, the summer fun is only the setup for some, dare I say it, monkey business. ART Rafa Sandoval’s pencils are…
Previously on Justice League Infinity: in his search for meaning at the edge of the universe, Amazo broke something fundamental, causing the Superman of Earth-12 to be replaced by Overman (a.k.a. Nazi Supes). Will issue #2 keep up the goodwill established by the first? Keep reading to find out. ART While maybe not as out…
Previously in Teen Titans Academy, we got another gimmicky issue! Will Teen Titans Academy #5 be any less gimmick and more, you know, story? Or even, gasp, character? In a shocking turn of events, yes, actually. Read on to find out more. ART Steven Lieber is back for another go-around with the Bat Pack and…
In this flashbackular spectacular, Captain James Gordon over-promises and over-books District Attorney Harvey Dent, his wife and children, and his own internal need to keep an eye on the recently captured Joker. Hijinks ensue! ART When I first looked over this issue, looking at the panels I thought, Who’s doing this half-arsed Francesco Francavilla looking…
The definitive iteration of the Justice League is back y’all. A follow-up to such a venerated series has a lot to live up to. Especially in a media landscape where the mainstream versions of its heroes have been deformed into mass murderers and sad brooding objectivists. So is it any good? Praise Amazo, it is!…
Thank every dark god that ever crawled up out of the abyss. Our bizarre odyssey (more like blasé slog) is over. About halfway through Batman/Fortnite #6, Catwoman makes a humorous, topical, reference to the song Hotel California by The Eagles. The mean age of the band’s founding members is 73. Their song Hotel California was released…
Why are they coming out with a Teen Titans Academy 2021 annual, er, “Yearbook” when they’ve only launched four issues so far? No idea, but it’s my job to review it — so here goes! Note: Teen Titans Academy 2021 Yearbook is broken up into four stories, so I’ll briefly discuss each and give it…
After a lame crossover infiltration by the Suicide Squad, The Bat Pack (yes… that’s what they're calling them) are on the case! What case, you ask? Why it's "Who is Red X?" of course! Will they crack the case? Or just bumble around like the severely underdeveloped characters they are? Stay tuned to find out.…
We’ve reached the penultimate chapter of the Batman/Fortnite, er, saga. Batman, Catwoman, Deathstroke, and their Fortniter allies have broken into the base of the mysterious organization that’s trapped them all in a live-die-repeat battle royale hellscape. Will they escape? (Probably not this issue.) Will they be betrayed by the obvious Judas of the group? (Absolutely.) …
Jim Gordon is in a rough spot. Not only is he smack in the middle of a fray between the Joker, a couple of Texan cannibals, and She-Bane — but, if The Joker #4’s meandering inner monologue is to be believed, poor Gordo is super depressed. STORY The Joker series got off to a rough…
Oh no! Catwoman — or as everyone at DC comics calls her now, apparently, “Cat” (Ugh) — has been taken hostage! Will this cliffhanger from the last issue play out with any tension whatsoever? Or will it be resolved immediately? Come on ya’ll, you know what kind of comic this is. STORY Real talk: I’m…
The Suicide Squad have invaded Titans Tower! And Superboy is one of them (a choice I still find both bizarre and dumb). And I am legitimately not here for it in the slightest. There has been nearly zero character development in this series so far, and what little we’ve gotten is tied to this forced…
The title fight is here! Batman is going to V the ever-loving bejesus out of Snake Eyes. Right? Right!? I’m sure at least a couple people out there are pumped about it. As for myself, if this fight is even a little fun, I’ll forgive DC for letting Donald Mustard, my enemy, illustrate a Batman…
Stop me if you’ve heard this one. A clown walks into a room, shoots some poor policeman’s daughter in the spine, and then kidnaps and tortures him. What? That’s a famous Joker story? You don’t say? I had no idea, truly. Good thing James Tynion’s here to remind me with an exposition-dump of a monologue…
Batman’s been Memento’d! He has only the fragmented messages he leaves himself every twenty two minutes and his analytical mind to solve the mystery that is Fortnite! Will he be able to solve it? (Yes.) Or will his feelings for this mysterious woman dressed like a cat hold him back? (No.) Let’s hop in and…
Issue #2 of Teen Titans Academy has dropped. Will it rekindle our (or at least my) dwindling excitement for this series? Or has the fire died? Okay, maybe it’s not that dramatic. But it’s kind of close. Magic/Adventure Academy-ish stories have been my raison d’etre the past few months (for, cough, research purposes), so I…
The Batman/Fortnite crossover is among us. When I chose — Yep, totally definitely absolutely chose to. Of my own free will and stuff. Not like I was forced to review this because I’m low on the totem pole. That would be barbaric. h e l p m e — to review Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point, I…
Joker (aka Jim Gordon but we can’t call it that because it wouldn’t sell) issue #2 is out, folks. The stakes are raised as new contenders for the Joker’s head enter the picture. Will Gordon’s newfound bat-resources be enough to give him the edge over these powerful new foes? Will our plot-armor-clad murder clown ever…
