16 on Upcoming Comics: September 5, 2018So, not only am I traveling this week, but I’m traveling and I’m sick… This is the first time I’ve ever been sick and away from home. It’s the worst. I repeat, THE WORST! On a positive note, we have a decent slate of books landing this week, and I’m really excited to get my…
The Silencer Annual #1 is, by far, the best DC book that hit stands this week! You need to go get it! Aside from a few minor missteps, Dan Abnett has had an incredible run on The Silencer! What was probably viewed by many as the least compelling book of The New Age of Heroes imprint prior to its…
Have I mentioned how much I dislike Ben Percy’s Nightwing? Have I mentioned how annoyed I am with his heavy-handed, politically-driven scripts, and the fact that nothing Nightwing says under Percy’s pen feels true to the character? Great! Because I’m about to say it again! If you’ve been reading Nightwing since Percy took over, I’m…
When DC first decided to do DC Comics/ Looney Tunes crossovers in this format, I originally thought, "God, this is a terrible idea." And then I was forced to eat crow once the issues were published because we were treated to some nice fun stories. On top of it, Tom King and Lee Weeks delivered Batman/ Elmer…
Well, I’m traveling again this week for work and it was a last minute decision, so I’m posting this later than intended. BUT! I now have roughly 24 hours to myself, so that’ll result in quite a bit of time for comics! Alright, on to business! This week’s releases are listed according to our anticipation…
Over the past few months, I’ve commented on The Silencer’s slow decline in quality – especially as far as the script is concerned. The book has been far from bad, but I feared the trend would continue until the title fell from good, to average, to bad. Well, this month, that is definitely not the…
Damian continues his warpath against the villains of the DC Universe, and this week, he brings the Teen Titans toe-to-toe with Gizmo! Adam Glass’ run on Teen Titans has been a bit of a mixed bag so far, but mostly, it’s been good. The “mixed bag” stems from a range of tones presented, as well…
This is an interesting week of releases. For whatever reason, DC is bumping its trend of releasing Annuals on the 5th Wednesday, and they’re dropping some this week. One in particular – Suicide Squad – has me quite excited because it’s substituting the core team for some fresh meat… and it features Swamp Thing! That’s…
For the next two weeks, I will be in New Mexico doing some training for my new job. Considering I don’t know anyone out here, nor am I adventurous enough to go exploring (aside from restaurants), I’m going to be doing a lot of reading! Lots and lots of reading! Old comics. New comics. Old…
Since 2007, we’ve witnessed three interpretations of the Death of Superman on film. First was 2007’s Superman: Doomsday and the second was 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Both of these films attempted to adapt this graphic novel, and, in my opinion, both failed to do so. Now we have the film The Death…
Joelle Jones continues her run on Catwoman, and while there may be imposters, police, and a corrupt businesswoman on her tail, I’m not quite sure what story she’s trying to tell... Last month, Joelle Jones delivered one hell of a debut. No, there isn’t anything overtly fresh or original to her take on Selina Kyle…
The latest issue of DC Nation was released last week, and this time there was far less for me to give side-eye to! In fact, I loved a lot of the content in this issue! We were treated to an inside look into the DC Summit, where the writers and publishers come together to discuss…
[Via text] “Dear Ben, This isn’t working anymore. I’m sorry. I know, I know… Nightwing is my favorite character, and I wanted nothing more than to review this book for the first four years I wrote for Batman-News.com… But now, things have changed. No, no. It’s not you. It’s me…. Wait… Nevermind, it is totally…
We’ve got a number of incredible books hitting the shelves this week! While I’m excited for the likes of Justice League and Injustice 2, I’m more excited about the return of Peter J. Tomasi writing Jon and Damian in The Adventures of the Super Sons! It will only be a twelve-issue run, but it’s going…
For the second consecutive month, The Silencer has dipped in quality. The issue itself is still enjoyable enough, but I’m concerned about the future of this title based on this trend. Abnett appears to be losing his grasp on what made this book special and unique, and now it’s essentially turning into a generic action…
So… Teen Titans… Is it a dark, moody, angst-fest, or is there more to this team than meets the eye? Find out below! There will be a large group of people who will not like this run because the characters (Damian and Emiko) are “darker” than what they would prefer. If that is how you…
As is usually the case, I’m frantically playing catch-up following SDCC! Because of that, I’m keeping this intro short and sweet, and getting right to real reason you’re here… COMICS! Alright, on to business! This week’s releases are listed according to our anticipation scale, with titles listed in alphabetical order within each sub-header. For each…
SDCC begins this Thursday! I repeat, SDCC begins this Thursday!!! I’m SUPER excited! I’ve suspected there would be a number of announcements during the convention, and I now know this to be true. Whether or not they’re going to be Batman-related remains to be seen, but both Scott Snyder and Steve Orlando have confirmed they’ll…
With all the attention on Batman #50 last week, many of you may have missed something else that was quite critical… DC Nation. Yes, it’s just one big promotional magazine, but there were two key pieces to the book that are worth taking note of. The first of these is a letter by Dan Didio.…
I’m not feeling this arc at all. Everything about it comes across as forced, underdeveloped, and half-assed. In fact, the best thing about this issue is the variant cover. There’s a tech crisis taking place in Bludhaven. A new firm has come to town and they’re rolling out their product to everyone within a certain…
