9 on More details about DC Zoom and DC Ink, DC Comics' new young readers imprintsLast night it was revealed that DC Comics will be launching two brand new initiatives for young readers: DC Zoom for middle school-aged readers, and DC Ink for young adults. An exciting announcement to be sure, though details were fairly scarce. Besides original graphic novels starring Harley Quinn and Mera, in addition to a new…
Based on the cover and the title of this story, I knew where it would go. I did not, however, know where it would begin. Not gonna lie, but I'm with Starfire. Did you ever see A Fish Called Wanda? When we first meet Kevin Kline's character, he's fast asleep with a Nietzsche resting on…
Comics are for everyone, and there's a comic out there for everyone. Young and old, casual and hardcore fans, there's something out there to be found for each and every person who wants to read about there favorite characters. With that mindset, DC Comics have revealed plans for not one but two new imprints for…
Well that was fast. This morning it was announced that Brian Michael Bendis will be taking over writing duties on both Superman and Action Comics. In addition to some of Bendis' plans for the titles, a mysterious comic called DC Nation was referenced. Other than the fact that Bendis would team up with legendary illustrator…
It was huge news when it hit this past fall, but in case you haven't heard: Brian Michael Bendis is now a writer for DC Comics. The longtime Marvel mainstay, who created the likes of Miles Morales and Jessica Jones as well as the Image Comics book Powers, has signed a multi-year, exclusive contract with…
So yeah, Doom Patrol. That book is bonkers. How bonkers is it? Grant Morrison used to write it, that's how bonkers. It's a team with members like a robot man named Robotman (or Cliff), a being named Danny that was once a street and then a world and then a brick and is now an…
It's the announcement we've all been waiting for, and now it's confirmed: Scott Snyder is the new writer for Justice League. In an IGN exclusive report, it's been revealed that Scott Snyder will take over writing DC's flagship team this June. Current Justice League scribe Christopher Priest's run on the title will conclude in April…
A funny thing happened early on in this issue of Doomsday Clock: I started buying into it. Now, this series has been pretty entertaining since day one, but I've still kept it at arms-length for a few reasons. Watchmen is great and, while I don't hold it in quite as high a regard as most…
I'm going to be real here: Steve Orlando has been teasing that this arc will do things no other DC Comic has ever done before, so that got me thinking about what he could possibly mean. So far it's been a pretty standard story with twists and turns to be sure, though nothing that stands…
Dick Grayson just wanted to save the world. To a degree, he did: by robbing the world's superpowered beings of their abilities, he prevented the inevitable collateral damage that would result from fights between heroes and villains. By outlawing metahuman abilities, Dick made a world that was seemingly safe for "normal" people while "helping" those…
It's long been said that Batman can't beat most anybody, given enough prep time. He has an unflinching resolve, his deductive skills are second to none, and if he's not the master of a particular form of martial arts, he's the master of a half dozen others. Batman is the peak of the human form,…
At long last, the "Super Sons of Tomorrow" arc has come to an end. Of the five installments, this is the best, though that's unfortunately faint praise. Like too many crossovers in the past year, this one goes out with a bit of a whimper, its purpose seemingly nothing more than setting up even more…
One of the things that was so great about the first Batman and Ninja Turtles crossover was how well it was paced. It was never slow or boring, but it did take its time setting up the story and the first meeting between the title characters. Tynion took his time telling a story that, while…
DC Comics just announced that John Ridley, Oscar-winning screenwriter of 12 Years a Slave and writer of Vertigo's The American Way and its sequel Those Above and Those Below, will write a new prestige format series this winter. Titled The Other History of the DC Universe, the series will shine a spotlight on beloved characters…
So here we are, with another Teen Titans Go! issue. It is certainly something. Now, I know this series has a lot of detractors because of how silly it is, which is valid: it's incredibly silly, and oftentimes immature. See the newly-released trailer for the upcoming movie for proof of that. Yet it's also a…
As we left the Justice League of America a few weeks ago, Caitlin Snow, alias Killer Frost, was seemingly cured. No longer driven by her hunger for heat, Caitlin's skin lost its icy blue pallor and, with it gone, she appeared to be "normal" once more. But, not unexpectedly, the means by which she was…
The DC Universe is that: a universe. Most of the company's most beloved characters originate from-- or are at least somehow connected to-- the planet Earth, yet their adventures can often take them beyond the stars. There's New Genesis and Apokolips, caught in perpetual conflict; Oa and now Mogo, headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps…
So yeah, I totally thought this was supposed to be the final chapter of "Super Sons of Tomorrow," and read it accordingly. On the one hand, I'm glad that it isn't the end, because the way things wrap up here would be a pretty unsatisfying conclusion. On the other hand, this crossover hasn't been stellar,…
Midnight approaches. The Doomsday Clock ticks on. What fate and doom will befall our heroes when the clock strikes twelve? Can even a Superman prevail over the nigh-omnipotent power of a being like Doctor Manhattan? That, I suppose, is the question Doomsday Clock is set to answer. Will the cynicism of a world like that…
The Ray quits the Justice League of America! ...kind of. Really, he's doing some soul searching and trying to figure out his place in the world, but in doing so he is separated from the League so I'll give it a pass. From the beginning, Steve Orlando's Justice League of America has touched on some…
