  • Upcoming Comics: November 1, 2017

    Halloween is on Tuesday! I’m a big kid, so I’m super excited to dress up and take my nephew trick-or-treating! I love seeing what other people dress up as, so feel free to share your Halloween pictures in the comments section below! Alright, on to business! For a collection of our opinions pertaining to last…


  • Suicide Squad #28 review

    In this issue of Suicide Squad, Katana is looking for proof, Deadshot is looking for backup, and Harley is looking for… sex. I’m just going to come right out and say it. I’m not a fan of this issue. Everything that surprised me with the previous issue is nowhere to be found here. After a…


  • Justice League of America #17 review

    I’m just going to come right out and say it… Justice League of America is a waste of time. I’ve struggled with JLA since its debut, and finally felt that we were going to receive a good story with “Panic in the Microverse.” I fully believed this story would meet the quality we’d expected from…


  • Batman Beyond #13 review

    Be prepared, Batman #13 is a difficult issue to follow. There are apparently three separate stories here, but I struggled to find one single, cohesive narrative that was done well… And, honestly, when you take the time to break everything down, there’s actually an attempt to tell five different stories... So that alone might clear…


  • Upcoming Comics: October 25, 2017

    Halloween is roughly a week away, and I have no idea what I’m going to dress as. Yes, the obvious answer would be Batman, but I’d want a cool Batman costume. I’m a bit of a snob like that. I don’t want to just go buy some onesie at Target. I mean, that’s fine and…


  • Titans #16 review

    Don’t be fooled by the cover, Wally West barely has any relevance in this issue. No, no… Not that Wally West. He’s dead again, remember? The other Wally West (DC’s/ Abnett’s choice of words, not mine). Titans is an interesting topic of conversation for me. I enjoy the book. Honestly, I do. That being said,…


  • January 2018 Solicitations

    We’ve got some changes shaking things up beginning in January! First off, even though we don’t cover the title, we’ll be saying goodbye to Superwoman. Beyond that, we’ve got some creative changes taking place with Batwoman, Suicide Squad, and Trinity, with a change in art for Titans.  Ch-ch-ch-changes! And I’m pretty certain we’ll learn of…


  • Upcoming Comics: October 18, 2017

    Well, Fall TV is definitely back! I spent the weekend catching up on some shows that I’d recorded… and that’s about it. I’m usually pretty good at pulling myself away from the tv, but I just embraced it over the weekend. My Saturday was one of those, “It’s 4:00pm, I should probably take a shower…”…


  • Justice League of America #16 review

    Let’s be frank, this issue and the previous issue of Justice League of America should have been a The Atom mini-series with a six to twelve issue run… And it’s a shame that we didn't get that instead. I’m sure many of you are scratching your heads right now. “What? You want these stories to…


  • Suicide Squad #27 review

    Oh, Rob… At some point, I really will learn to trust you. Remember when Suicide Squad was one of the most entertaining titles in Rebirth? After a questionable arc containing a number of decisions that can only be described as “head-scratchers,” I found myself becoming less enthusiastic about Suicide Squad. I don’t want to say…


  • Batgirl and the Birds of Prey #15 review

    A flu-like virus strikes the men in Gotham, and with it comes a horde of female superheroes to the rescue! Commissioner Gordon is sick with the flu! Oh no! What on earth will happen? Who will save him? How can we expect the Gordon family to move past this tragedy?!?! Why is living so hard!?!?!?!?!?!?!…


  • Upcoming Comics: October 11, 2017

    NYCC was this past weekend, and while we got a few announcements from the convention, we didn’t get as many as I thought we would. There was an announcement that the Dark Matter line has been renamed to the New Age of DC Heroes. With the announcement of the name change, DC also announced two…


  • The Shadow/ Batman #1 review

    The Shadow may take the leading credit in this title, but this issue is all Batman! Personally, I loved Batman/ The Shadow. Yes, I feel as though it could have ended a little better, but overall Steve Orlando won me over with his depiction of Batman. I thought the noir aspect, the detective work, and…


  • Green Arrow #32 review

    I wasn’t expecting much from this issue, and as a stand-alone issue, I think it’s ok… But there are so many epic moments that happen here that I’m literally like, “Go Metal! Go Metal! Hey, Snyder! It’s yo’ birthday! Shake your bootay!” We’ve reached the fourth and final chapter of “Gotham Resistance,” and I honestly…


  • Harley and Ivy Meet Betty and Veronica #1 review

    The one thing I kept trying to figure out going into this story, was how Paul Dini and Marc Andreyko were going to naturally marry these characters and worlds. Let’s face it, the Batman universe and the Archie universe shouldn’t be kindred spirits. Even the crazy, fun, absurdity that we’ve come to expect with Harley…


  • Upcoming Comics: October 4, 2017

    I’d planned on joking about how my birthday is on the 4th, and that I’d happily post a wish list on Amazon for anyone that felt like buying me books for my birthday, but that seems like nonsense after what happened in Las Vegas… I’m not going to lie, the past week and a half…


  • Batman Beyond #12 review

    Batgirl (Beyond) makes her (second) debut in this chapter of Batman Beyond! I wonder what she’s been up to in this post-Brother Eye Neo Gotham? This month, DC is giving Dan Jurgens and Bernard Chang a little break, and delivering a filler issue of Batman Beyond in their absence. Right away, you should know not…


  • Justice League of America #15 review

    In this issue of Justice League of America, we find out what Ray Palmer has been up to these past few months… And that’s about it. I’ve been a champion for “Crisis in the Multiverse” because it’s easily been the best arc in Justice League of America since its debut. Quite frankly, this is the…


  • Suicide Squad #26 review

    You should know something before you read my review… The story doesn’t matter. Just go get this issue because of Stjepan Sejic’s art! No seriously. Do it just to boost sales to show the importance of damn good artists! My introduction to this review is clearly a joke. Well, 50% of it is a joke.…


  • Upcoming Comics: September 27, 2017

    Happy Day After Batman Day! I don’t know about you all, but my wallet needs to recover after the amount of money I spent yesterday… I seriously loaded up on some comics (digital and physical copies) to round out my collection. If you have any pictures of your score or how you celebrated (even if…
