3 on Justice League of America Annual #1 reviewBuckle-up, bastiches! We’re going to go save some space dolphins! There will be no middle ground here. You will either enjoy this issue, or you will absolutely hate it… And a lot of this has to do with how you feel about the crazy fact that Lobo has a soft spot for space dolphins. Yes,…
For nearly a year now, Steve Orlando has brought us an abundance of stories in Justice League of America. As you all know, I struggled with the title early on, but as of late, my opinion has changed. I've come to develop a fondness for Justice League of America, and it's future truly is looking brighter than ever.…
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It’s officially the kickoff of the holiday season, so I hope you’re ready for a month full of crazed shopping, carols, and holiday parties (because I know I am)! I’m sure many of you are curious about the status of our search for new reviewers… Well, I’m happy…
In this chapter of Suicide Squad, we get silly, fun action with a giant, red, dinosaur-alien. To quote the great Samuel L. Jackson from Jurassic Park, “Hold on to your butts.” After an attempt to assassinate Amanda Waller fails, the Squad begins investigating Argent – a covert government agency that appears to be defunct. The…
Dan Jurgens returns to Batman Beyond, and doesn’t really do much in this issue… Well, that’s disappointing. I’m going to be honest, the biggest disservice to this issue is the fact that two filler issues preceded it. Had this story followed “Rise of the Demon” then I would say this is a welcomed break from…
Orlando’s second chapter of “Surgical Strike” contains a combination of highs and lows. For me, Prometheus overcomes a chunk of this issue’s opportunities and tips the book towards the enjoyable side of the scale. That doesn’t mean all is excusable though. Some aspects that have bogged Justice League of America down since it’s debut come…
Last week, we asked if anyone was interested in joining the team, and we received an abundance of entries! Due to the number of responses we received, we are now closing our call. Thank you to all who submitted! We will continue to review the responses until we find our new team member(s). In other…
I… I can’t put into words the amount of joy I experienced reading this chapter of Super Sons… So I have no idea how I’m going to discuss how incredibly fun and satisfying this issue is. The only expression that seems remotely appropriate, would be to hug Tomasi. You know, one of those long, awkward,…
Someone should really look into Bludhaven… They appear to have a serious steroid problem! As we all know, this is Tim Seeley’s final arc. I’m sad to see him go because he’s delivered some great Dick Grayson stories over the past few years, but I also understand the need or desire to move on. To…
Hey, you. Yeah, you! I’ve got a question for you! Want to join the Batman-News team as a comic book reviewer? We’re looking for another passionate Batman fan to add to our team, and that person just might be you! If you want to join Andrew, Brandon, Elena, Jay, Brian and I, here’s what you…
It’s baaaaaaaack! We experienced a brief hiatus in posting Cover Talk, but we’re back with our covers a-blazing! Unfortunately, while we were switching servers, we lost the results of the final poll we held, so this week, we’ll be re-voting on July’s covers Below you’ll find the covers for July 12th through July 26th, followed…
This week, James Tynion’s love letter to Tim Drake fans wraps up in “A Lonely Place of Living.” I feel this story is a success for many reasons, predominately because of the return of Tim Drake! After being egregiously mishandled during the New 52, James Tynion created a large sigh of relief when he corrected…
Titans has been spinning its wheels for quite some time now, but this month’s issue finally throws the vehicle into “Drive” and takes off! Following its first arc, Titans has mostly been a collection of single-issue stories that happen to have character arcs running through them. This, obviously, has replaced longer, arcing plots, and has…
If there were an MVP for comics, Captain Boomerang would win it for Suicide Squad #29! An attempt on Waller’s life has lead the Suicide Squad on an interesting mission that delves into the history of Task Force X! After learning the assassination attempt was executed from an Argent android, Waller divides the Squad into…
Men are evil scum! Women are awesome! Eradicate the men! Blah, blah, blah! This issue has a lot of Valerie Solanas-type crap in it! SCUM! If you’ve wisely been avoiding the tragedy that is Batgirl & the Birds of Prey, then I’ll fill you in on the current story. “Manslaughter” features a viral outbreak in…
“Surgical Strike” begins in this week's Justice League of America, and it’s the perfect title for this story! The conclusion to “Panic In the Microverse” disappointed me, but if I’m being honest, I let my expectation of the story overrule my judgment of the issue itself. Do I feel the story had problems? Yes. Did it…
After such a great week in comics, it sucks that rather than gush over the quality of the books we received last week, I’m here, yet again, to talk about another tragedy. Another shooting. More senseless deaths. The following weeks are going to be spent discussing this sick kid that did this, his motivation, gun…
Harley & Ivy Meet Betty and Veronica continues to be a party of fun, but some identity crisis derails this issue a bit. You know what I enjoy? A fun comic! You know what Harley & Ivy Meet Betty and Veronica is? A fun comic! Going into this book, I didn’t know how Marc Andreyko…
The Shadow makes his presence known and we learn who the evil masterminds are behind all of the chaos in this month's The Shadow/ Batman! Last month, Steve Orlando debuted The Shadow/ Batman through Dynamite Comics, following the success of DC's Batman/ The Shadow. Originally, I thought this was a separate story, but I’m happy to discover that it isn’t.…
Frank Tieri deserves quite a bit of praise! Out of all of the Evil Batman one-shots, there are two that I really enjoyed... And Tieri wrote both of them: Murder Machine and this chapter! It's no secret that I have felt indifferent towards Metal's side stories. While the main title has been fun, the supporting…
