2 on Harley Quinn #33 reviewTwo weeks ago we had a strong epilogue to the most recent storyline and now we get “The Mourning After”, which unfortunately feels like an epilogue to the epilogue. It’s pretty common that following a big story we need a bridge to get us going into the next thing and Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner…
It’s nice to see Wonder Woman take center stage in Injustice both in the recent Annual and now in the book itself. Previous Injustice has centered largely on Batman and Superman (with a side salad of Harley Quinn), so it’s good to see Tom Taylor tackling the freshly popular Amazonian goddess, even if she is…
Who’s ready for some holiday cheer? If you’re counting down the days, here’s 11 stories to count down with (really more like ten and a half since one of the stories is just kind of a loose framework). And rather than a book in which the DC universe is represented by Batman guest-starring Superman and…
If you want to treat yourself this holiday to something self-contained, beautifully rendered, and full of interesting turns with a Wonder Woman who is unsubtley modeled on Gal Gadot’s gorgeous onscreen appearance, this is the book for you! Remember, though, that Wonder Woman in the Injustice world is on the side of Superman, which puts…
“Off the Leash” is Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner’s epilogue to the “Vote Harley” storyline and brings a whole new level of grim to what’s already been a pretty violent arc. On the one hand, I feel like we’re at long last seeing horrid characters get their overdue comeuppance, and on the other hand, I…
“Summer of Lies” concludes its bumpy ride with a bit of a crash landing. Hope Larson’s Batgirl and Nightwing team-up is charming and we get all the sort of fun banter we could hope for between these two, but the ultimate resolution to this long-building mystery doesn’t really provide us with any surprises. The story…
Scarecrow is the star of this issue of Marguerite Bennett’s Batwoman, “Stay High”. And Prime continues to represent a nadir of character development and interest in my personal book of “failed mission sidekicks”. The two points together make for a bit of an uneven issue, but I’m going to say it falls well on the…
This might feel like a lull in what has been a long string of relentless action, but it’s a much-needed pace-breaker in which Tom Taylor can let us catch our breaths and consider all the carnage that has resulted from Batman’s “successful” mission to recover the kidnapped children of Ollie, Dinah, and Black Lightning. Digital…
It’s no secret that I don’t love the whole “Metal” event we’re having, but this book was a surprisingly not-terrible read. Even better than not-terrible, it was actually pretty great! While it follows a similar pattern to the other Dark Multiverse tie-ins we’ve had so far: grim origin story typically involving a dystopian future or…
I’m just going to cut to the chase here: Do you like Scott Snyder? Are you enjoying the Dark Multiverse and prior Metal tie-ins? Then you will love this as well! So just go out and buy it (in fact you probably already have). The other truth is that I am not enjoying the Dark…
I guess it feels like it might be a little bit in poor taste to celebrate the outcome of this comic even though I have been begging for it for what feels like years now. But I honestly don’t feel much more than just a sense of relief with a tinge of foreboding. Relief because…
In this issue (Digital Firsts 25 & 26 “Beyond Kahndaq”) Tom Taylor reminds us that Superman’s cousin Kara has been crashing at Black Adam’s pad after literally crashing to Earth some decades after she was sent with Kal-El away from Krypton during their apocalypse. It was Kara’s job to look after baby Kal-El and help…
Hope Larson pushes her Batgirl and Nightwing team up into a new level of mystery as “Summer of Lies” hits its third installment. We’re still on the trail of the elusive Ainsley, connecting the dots of nanotechnology and addiction and revenge leading back to one fleeting summer when Barbara Gordon and Dick Grayson took their…
Group Editor Marie Javins, Associate Editor Jessica Chen, and “Creepy Uncle” Joey Cavalieri put a book together by essentially throwing an eye of newt and tongue of frog into a giant inky cauldron and pouring out 80 pages of naked crazy face-peeling terror. And because somehow that doesn’t = win in my book, you know…
It’s no secret how much I dislike the character of Mason Macabre. I cheered when he was originally written out into the witness protection program, groaned when Harley Sinn caught up to him and his mother in the desert, and have been grinding my teeth ever since. And now we have a whole book full…
Marguerite Bennett’s Batwoman fever dream not only continues, but takes it up a notch. With the Scarecrow fully working his chemicals on an imprisoned Kate, we see her disturbing memories of the past begin to succumb to the realm of full-blown nightmares. In terms of advancing the story, we’re starting to get some hints as…
Here’s a universal tip for writers: reconsider whether you should start your narrative by suggesting that your story is one that “should never be” because invariably there will be people in your audience who, after reading said story, will no doubt agree with you. Wholeheartedly. In “Rime of the Ancient Mariner”, Dan Abnett takes our…
Today in As the Injustice 2 World Turns: will the family drama between Batman and his children be resolved? Can Alfred negotiate between father and son? And what shocking revelations will be unearthed as the world literally burns down around our gathered heroes? Digital Firsts 23 & 24 bring us “Endangered Species” in which Tom…
Conner and his parents (Green Arrow and Black Canary) are reunited! Wildcat may actually survive his encounter with EvilBats! Harley Quinn changes sides (again)! And Damian gets a haircut! The most exciting thing about this issue for Batfans, however, is that Batman actually takes center stage. And it’s easy to see why writer Tom Taylor…
Welcome to “Debates and Delusions” wherein Harley Quinn takes on the other mayoral candidates after huffing fear toxin compliments of Scarecrow himself. If that sounds like the kind of deranged thing you’d love to read about, step right up for this carnival of confusion. Harley’s got a long way to go with her candidacy, but…
