13 on The Silencer #2 reviewDo not mess with Honor Guest or her family… She’ll kill you for doing so. Last month, we were graced with the debut of The Silencer! I say “graced” because so far, it’s the only title from DC’s New Age of Heroes that’s managed to pack a punch. While the other titles have looked incredible,…
Below you’ll find the covers for January week three and four, followed by each week’s variant covers. Check them out. Study them. Try your best not to let your opinion of the story affect your thoughts on the cover, then vote for your favorite. If you’re like me, and can’t decide on just one, then…
Last week we got some information pertaining to some creative changes and cancellations. We’re unfortunately saying goodbye to Super Sons in May, but Tomasi went to Twitter to confirm that the cancellation wasn’t because of poor sales, and that Jon and Damian would be moving on to other things. We also learned that Batgirl &…
My power has been in and out the past few days thanks to a string of heavy thunderstorms, so I’m getting this to you guys a little later than I intended. This week in Break From the Bat, we’re splitting our focus between “Milk Wars” and DC’s New Age of Heroes. Milk Wars: Shade the…
Sam Humphries continues to deliver a mixed bag of intrigue and lack-of-focus in this chapter of Nightwing “The Untouchable.” In many ways, Humphries has developed some great beats for “The Untouchable.” Unfortunately, those highlights are becoming overshadowed by the story's opportunities, and that’s never good. A story can have excellent moments – those moments might…
Brian and Jay have been up to some devious scheming lately, and recently announced a new podcast they’re hosting, Comics Now. In fact, less than 48 hours after the announcement, they had their first episode up! I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty excited about it, and look forward to seeing what these two…
The flu has ravaged my employees at my day job, so I haven’t had much time to devote to the site in the past week. Because of my limited time window (my lunch), I’m going to exclude any commentary for this week’s releases, but I will rank them according to the anticipation scale. I’ll return…
Now that the Top 25 Covers of 2017 is behind us, we're turning our focus to 2018! Each week, we'll feature two weeks of covers until we catch up on the year, and then we'll move to our regular schedule featuring each individual week's covers. With 2018, we are bringing some minor changes to Cover…
“Milk Wars” kicked off in the wonderfully weird JLA/ Doom Patrol Special #1, and I was surprised by how much heart the issue had, despite the oddity of the concept. The question now, is whether or not this trend will continue in the other titles? The basic concept of “Milk Wars” is that Retcon, an…
For a crossover that should be overloaded with fun antics, Harley & Ivy Meet Betty and Veronica is just mediocre. Marc Andreyko and Paul Dini started this miniseries quite beautifully, bringing different worlds together in unexpected, yet completely believable, ways. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two issues because they featured a plethora of characters in…
This month’s The Shadow/ Batman #5 slows things down a little as Steve Orlando and Giovanni Timpano set up the story’s climax and conclusion for next month! I’ve given The Shadow/ Batman quite a bit of praise over the past five months, and it deserves every bit of it! Orlando and Timpano have setup and…
After a rough flashback, Nightwing rebounds as he and the Judge come face to face! Sam Humphries launched an impressive run on Nightwing by diving right into the heart of the city and introducing a slew of new themes, characters, and threats. At the forefront of these changes are the Judge and Guppy. The Judge…
We’ve received a number of teases and announcements in the past week! For one, we finally learned what Brian Michael Bendis will be writing now that he’s at DC! In addition to that, we got details about a new publication called DC Nation, which appears to be a teaser comic. And while each of these,…
You’re probably asking yourself, “Who is the Silencer?” The simple answer? She’s a total badass. I have a confession… After reading Damage, I was quite underwhelmed. Yes, the book has incredible art thanks to Tony Daniel, but nothing happened. I walked away from the issue feeling as though it didn’t really establish itself. I’ll pick…
In case you missed it, we posted the Top 25 Covers of 2017! The results surprised me quite a bit because some covers ended much higher on the list than I expected. Just when I think I have you all figured out, you throw me a curve ball! Also, there were some big announcements yesterday concerning…
The polls have closed and the results are in! Below, you’ll find the Top 25 Covers of 2017, as voted by you! Did your favorite make the list? Do you agree with the rankings? Share your thoughts below! Want to see results from previous years? Top 25 Cover of 2017 …
I started writing this post, and saw that Doomsday Clock is releasing this week… Since then, all I’ve wanted are pancakes. Lots and lots of pancakes… Also, for those of you wondering, the Top 25 Covers of 2017 will post tomorrow! Keep an eye out for that, and share your thoughts on the results when…
I’m not going to say this issue is bad… but it’s not great. Let me make one thing very clear, the main plot of Sam Humphries’ Nightwing run is excellent! I know we’re only two issues in, but in those two issues, he’s delivered a well written, street-level story that is full of intrigue, mystery,…
I know I’m late to the game, but I recently started listening to podcasts! They’ve been my go-to background noise when writing. The main podcast I’ve been checking out is Holy Batcast or Kevin Smith’s Fatman on Batman – strictly the ones featuring comics writers/ creators – and I find them fascinating. I love hearing…
I’m getting to this a little later than I would have liked, but better late than never! I look forward to this post each year because it not only lets us reflect back on the amazing stories we read during the year, but also lets us take a gander at some potential wall art one…
