0 on Teen Titans Go! Digital Issue #30 reviewOof, what a weird installment. Usually, I'm pretty easy on this title, as it's pretty much what you expect it to be: a silly tie-in to a TV show, sold for less than a buck to provide at least passable entertainment for children and parents to enjoy together. There have occasionally been some genuine gems to come…
Superman has strength, speed, and flight. Green Lantern has his power ring. The Flash is the fastest man alive. Batman, as the old joke goes, has the greatest superpower of all: money. As with any joke there is at least a bit of truth to that statement, and as with any joke the truth goes…
Finally. In a pleasant birthday surprise*, DC Comics has released details for the upcoming miniseries Batman '66 Meets Steed and Mrs. Peel. The digital-first series, releasing in June, was announced at Comic-Con last year without any follow-up, but details were finally released this morning: Holy 1960s-TV crossover! Capitalizing on the past success of the Green…
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that Damian Wayne is a little turdburger. -Jane Austen Not gonna lie, I hated the idea of Damian Wayne at first. What it boiled down to, I think, was the idea of Batman being a dad just not sitting right with me for some reason. Needless to say,…
Earlier today, DC Comics held a panel at Wondercon and rolled out details for the upcoming slate of comics following May's 80-page Rebirth special. And boy, are there a lot of Bat-family titles. Geoff Johns, Jim Lee, and Dan DiDio took the stage to give details of the upcoming totally not a reboot, and in doing…
Creative teams change all the time. You can read a book for years and go through dozens of names on the credits page, especially in the constantly shifting world of superhero comics. Extended runs from a single team are not at all unheard of, as evidenced by the relatively uninterrupted stint (minus an issue or…
When a movie as big as Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice comes out, you can be sure there will be plenty of merchandise available for fans all across the board. Breakfast cereals, toys, clothing, tie-in comics best enjoyed with a delicious beverage, all sorts of items are ready and available for purchase to whet…
I love great character moments in comics. Huge action scenes and well-staged fights are great when executed properly, but something that makes you feel for the characters you're reading about? Things that make you understand a previous event or appreciate new connections made between characters? That's something special. The reader has to care enough to want…
Coming this June, DC Comics and BOOM! Studios will join together for a crossover between Gotham Academy and Lumberjanes. This is good news for Olive, Maps, and the rest of the students at the Academy, as the critically-acclaimed and fan favorite series has struggled with sales, but with this miniseries and its presence on the…
Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman are the Big Three at DC Comics, if not for comics in general. When Superman first appeared in Action Comics #1 back in 1938, an entirely new genre was born: the superhero comic. Soon after, Batman appeared in 1939 and bridged the popular pulp tales of old with this new medium of…
I used to hate puns. In my book, they were one of the lowest forms of comedy, lacking the elegance of a literary reference or the simple poetry of a well-timed fart joke. More often than not they were cringe-inducing, a statement designed for the reaction rather than the joke itself. But then I became…
Last time, on Batman '66 Meets the Man From U.N.C.L.E., the Dynamic Duo and Batgirl teamed up with those secret agents from U.N.C.L.E. to bring down T.H.R.U.S.H. With several of the Arkham Institute's worst recruited to the ranks of that villainous pack of vipers and vermin, Batman resorted to desperate measures to infiltrate their ranks: he revealed…
As an event, Convergence may have been a bust, but it managed to pull off quite a remarkable feat: it made tie-ins worth reading. In fact, it could be argued that the real joy in the event wasn't the main title itself, but seeing beloved characters back on the page once more, having new adventures…
Think back to when it was first announced that Dick Grayson would become a spy following the events of Forever Evil. What were your thoughts and feelings? Relief? Confusion? "Way to spoil the ending, guys"? Personally, I was just glad he was going to live to see another day, as he's been one of my…
It's been a while since we've checked in with the Dark Knight universe, so a bit of a recap may be in order: in the surprisingly decent* debut, we were reintroduced to the world that was established in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns and kind of reminded of a few things from but mostly glossed…
The journey to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has been a long one, but the wait is finally over. Now that the film's release is just a little over a month away, the promotional game has kicked into high gear to sate everyone's appetite while we wait for the film to premiere. From surprisingly…
Earlier today, it was announced that fan-favorite writer Tom King has signed an exclusive contract with DC, making the publisher his official home for the foreseeable future. King, who is best known for helming Grayson with Tim Seeley, is also head writer of Omega Men, the Vertigo title Sheriff of Babylon, and the main Robin…
If nothing else, Max Landis writes a great Lois Lane. After winning a chance to write for the Daily Planet as a student reporter, Clark attends what is dubbed the Cerberus Summit, "a meeting of the three most important young businessmen in America." I'll give you four guesses as to who they are, and the…
In my review of the recent Batgirl/Harley Quinn special, I pointed out how much of a jerk Batman was. Little did I realize how quickly he would be outdone. After wishing for a fairy godmother, only to have Beast Boy rain all over her parade, that delicate flower Starfire retreats to cry while the other…
Following months of rumors, it appears to be true: Scott Snyder will be leaving the flagship Batman title after April's #51. Speaking with Comic Vine (WARNING: tons of spoilers for Batman #49), Snyder discusses his recent history on the book and where the Superheavy arc has gone, while confirming that his last issue is a mere two…
