6 on Titans #20 reviewLast issue, the Justice League disbanded the Titans and Roy decided to take on Intergang all on his own. We left Roy under heavy fire in issue #19 so it’s a bit jarring to find him relatively unscathed at the beginning of issue #20 (that armour must be really good). Anyway, he’s still in a…
This time in Bane: Conquest…Bane falls asleep! Issue #7 also continues the tale of Bane and the Serpent, picking up right where we left off in issue #6 with an overblown action scene that swings wildly between the ridiculous and the dramatic. Bullets fly, daring escapes are attempted, Bane shouts in Spanish and a Kobra…
Issue #6 of Bane: Conquest marks the beginning of the series’ third arc. ‘The Sword’ started strong but faltered due to poor characterisation and ‘The Challenge’ was just nonsense, albeit with the fun addition of Catwoman; can ‘The Serpent’ fare any better? The book opens with an introduction to Bane’s next nemesis, Naja Naja (the…
A scheming nemesis waits in the wings while the hero runs the gauntlet and faces each of his villains in turn. It’s a basic plot, but it only works when it’s executed well. The current arc in Batman Beyond, ‘The Long Payback,’ is not succeeding. In issue #14, Batman took on the Royal Flush Gang…
Marguerite Bennett takes a break for Batwoman #11 but that doesn’t mean the issue lacks the staples of the series; character growth, flashbacks, horror and brooding aplenty feature in this month’s chapter. I was delighted to see from Panosian’s creepy cover that this issue, it’s all about Pyg! Personally, I can’t get enough of the…
In Trinity #17, Batman and Superman decide to help Wonder Woman find her lost island home of Themyscira, which has been missing since the beginning of Rebirth. In order to explain how Diana kept visiting the island throughout the New 52, it’s been suggested in Greg Rucka’s recent run that the wool has been pulled…
Last issue, the Titans abruptly vanquished Psimon, Mr Twister and the Key, broke the spell controlling Gnarrk and Mal, and Donna Troy somehow punched Troia back to the future. Time for a breather, then. Last issue promised ‘Next: Titans vs. Justice League’ which is kind of what you get in Titans #19 if what you…
Duke Thomas has appeared in Zero Year, Endgame, Superheavy, Future’s End, Batman & Robin Eternal, We Are Robin, White Knight, All Star Batman and now he has his own three issue miniseries. It’s been a busy five years and a lot of exposure for a character that’s left a lot of Bat-fans cold. From the opening scene of Batman…
