0 on Teen Titans Go! Digital Issue #34 reviewI can usually find something good to say about this title, even at its worst. A few good gags, some lively illustration, an inoffensive story for kids, anything at all that can at least pass for a recommendation. This month, I'm almost grasping at straws. This isn't bad, mind you, but it isn't good either.…
Writing a single character for over fifty issues is no small achievement. In a time where a comic is lucky if it even makes it to fifty issues, seeing a mostly consistent creative time over that time is an even rarer occurrence. From its inception in 2011 up until the recent Rebirth one-shot, Scott Snyder…
Think about all of the comics you've read, and all of the knowledge you've acquired over the days, weeks, months, years, or decades you've been a fan. Think about the characters, events, powers, and personalities you've encountered in the funny pages. Now, think about the most horrifying thing that could possibly happen in comics, the…
The Batcave is under attack by Cybernauts! That is the extent of what happens this issue. In fact, that is pretty much all that happens this issue, and I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a great time. The last installment was fine, though a bit lackluster. It was more of the same that…
"When it comes to criminals, their fear is more important than your trust." Those words, spoken by Batman in flashback, serve as both a loose theme and the underlying struggle Nightwing is going through on his new mission. Is it better for the Parliament of Owls to think that Dick is truly one of them,…
No exaggeration, Titans: Rebirth was one of my favorite one-shots of the past few months. It was well-written and solidly illustrated, continuing the intriguing premise of Rebirth itself while delivering some genuinely emotional moments. Seriously, the scene where Dick remembered his best friend was almost as gut-wrenching as Barry's realization that Wally had returned. It…
You look at a title like "Better Than Batman" and your mind can go several different places. Are they trying to say that Nightwing is better than Batman? Ignoring the fact that Batman himself has said just as much before, it's easy to think that such an inflammatory title can come across as disrespectful to…
Maybe I'm just a grouch and wasn't in the right mood, but this didn't do much for me. The pieces to make up a good mystery/adventure book are all there, from the lovable misfits to the spooky circumstances surrounding a mysterious cabin, it's just that the finished product is left lacking. Brandon gave the first…
Not only will there be a prequel comic leading to 2017's Injustice 2 video game, but fan-favorite writer Tom Taylor is confirmed to return to the world he helped craft as he resumes scripting duties. From the DC press release: DC Entertainment announced today during the Injustice 2 panel at Comic-Con International: San Diego that…
Straight from San Diego Comic-Con we have the first footage for the upcoming animated series Justice League Action. The sizzle reel features plenty of exciting footage of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, as well as a wealth of cameos and intriguing teasers (a Superman robot? What?) It's still uncertain how this series will be structured,…
Fresh off the excellent crossover with everyone's half-shell heroes, Batman is once again teaming up with the Ninja Turtles. This time, though, it's the animated Batman from the DC Animated Universe joining forces with the animated counterparts of the Turtles. Plot details for the appropriately titled Batman/TMNT Adventures are scarce at this time, with Nerdist…
Four weeks in and pieces are still falling into place, with more connections between the titular crimefighters being revealed while their true for remains hidden. Up to this point I've been enjoying this crossover, and while it's still quite enjoyable, this installment feels like filler. The reason for that may very well be that it's a…
To say nothing of the quality of the books, most of DC's recent Rebirth titles have been continuations of established events rather than true shake-ups of the status quo. Sure, there are some titles like Green Arrow that have brought back integral elements that had long been absent (of course I'm talking about the goatee);…
There are rumblings in Titans Tower. Literal rumblings. Is it an earthquake? An explosion? Beast Boy's stomach? Alas, it is far worse: Starfire is sick with the Tameranean flu. This sets in motion the team's desire to help their friend get better. That's really about it, but hey, there are a few good laughs. My…
That felonious feline Catwoman is in the clutches of the Cybermen* Cybernauts. Can the Dynamic Duo rescue her in time? Will agents Steed and Peel instead free the femme fatale? Does Chief O'Hara make a hasty judgement? Will we see which rogue is behind the sudden onslaught of rigidly robust robot men? The answers to these…
Two things: first off, this was released on Free Comic Book Day back in May, so the "Back Issue Review" tag may be a stretch, but eh, whatever. Second, this is a book aimed at young girls, which is fantastic, but I am neither young nor am I a girl, so it's safe to say…
The final volume of the original The Batman Adventures series is here, collecting the final run of issues and a few one-shots and annual's for good measure. Like previous installments, it's a great collection by itself and a perfect introduction to both Batman and the classic animated series. The first issue in the collection is…
When the storytelling is focused, it's amazing how even a faltering story can turn around to become a massive entertainment. Such is the case with The Dark Knight III #5, which is light on dialogue but serves up some pretty exciting set-pieces in spades. None too soon either, as the 8-part series has just now…
Agent 37 is back for one four last final adventures before he makes his long-awaited return as Nightwing. Now, I know that Grayson didn't end the way most of us wanted it to, but at least it was an enjoyable ride up to the very end. Lanzing and Kelly team up one last time to send Agent 37…
As much as I enjoyed the previous Batman '66 crossover, I never got the feeling that Solo, Kuryakin, and U.N.C.L.E. were actually a part of that world. There was some fun chemistry between the Dynamic Duo and the agents, and Hugo Strange's involvement with T.H.R.U.S.H. was fairly clever, but besides a throwaway line here or…
