12 on Suicide Squad #20 reviewIn this chapter of Suicide Squad, Amanda Waller assigns a new field leader! I’m going to be honest with you… Not much happens in this issue. If you were hoping to jump into the aftermath of Flag’s sacrifice, and ramrod head-first into that drama, then curb those expectations. If you were expecting more…
We’re less than a month from Comic Con, and I’m SUPER EXCITED! This year, Andrew, Brandon, Jay, and I will all be attending (potentially Elena as well), so make sure you follow us on Twitter if you don’t already! We’ll be tweeting updates throughout the weekend… Plus, we’re all really cool and totally worth following……
We had a pretty good week in comics, and now we get to discuss the covers! Next week, I’ll (finally) include March variant covers, so we can move on to the Q-1 Cover Poll. Then, once we’re caught up with last quarter, we’ll knock out our current quarter and remain on track moving forward! Below…
The “War of Jokes and Riddles” kicks off, and while it’s entertaining and good in many ways, I ultimately find myself asking many questions. Before I say anything about the script, I need to praise Mikel Janin’s art. From the first page to the last, we are treated with some of the best…
There are some interesting changes coming in September. There appears to be a few talent changes – granted I’m not certain if they’re permanent or just temporary. Also, All Star Batman is coming to an end in September. I’m not sure what the plan is, but apparently the other stories that Snyder and the artists…
I’m not certain what’s going on with DC concerning solicitations. There are a number of issues that don’t reflect correct information on DC’s website, or Comixology. I understand the need to push issues/ arcs back for production reasons, but it would be nice if they could actually update their site when these instances occur. I’ve…
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! My dad isn’t a huge Batman fan (it’s not that he isn’t a fan, he just doesn’t nerd out like I do), so I got him a new grill kit! He seemed pretty thrilled about it. The kit came in a customized bamboo box, monogramed with…
I’ve essentially obliterated every issue of Justice League of America ever since its debut. I don’t say that to brag, just to indicate that I’ve come to expect poor storytelling/ execution from this title. That might be why I was so surprised when I didn’t think this issue was terrible. I should start…
Eradicator and Cyborg Superman have broken into Belle Reve… That’s not good. That’s not good for Waller, the Squad, or the world… I’m going to be honest with you, Suicide Squad #19 doesn’t knock it out of the park in the way that I’ve come to expect. For whatever reason, Rob Williams’ script…
I can’t tell you how happy I am to move past “The Lazarus Contract.” Nothing worthwhile really came from the story, aside from a few transitions that were randomly included at the end. Thankfully, Abnett uses Titans #12 to remind readers of the (much better) storylines he’d initiated prior to “The Lazarus Contract.” …
On the surface (aka: without using any brain power), this issue is ok. There actually are some good aspects. If you insert any ounce of logic though, you quickly realize this is one big, heaping pile of crap – just like every issue of Batgirl & the Birds of Prey since issue number 2…
The news worth speaking to at the moment, is the passing of Adam West. As sad as it makes me, it’s also great to see the legions of people showing their support. My Twitter and Facebook feeds have been full of remembrances, original art, etc honoring the late actor. For me, there’s a personal connection…
I’m changing up Cover Talk a bit concerning the posting date. Going forward, I’m going to post this article after the books have released for that current week (I’m shooting for Thursday afternoons), so you’ll vote on that week’s covers and variant covers. I initially wanted to post this on Monday’s to help balance out…
Originally, I planned on wrapping this post up Saturday night once I’d finished work, but when I got home, I learned about the incident in London. I have close friends that live in London, so I sat down (roughly 10:30 at night) and watched the news until around 3:00AM. I couldn’t seem to pull myself…
Be careful kids… This is some shallow water you’re treading. Here’s the deal, for DC Comics, “crossover” or “event” essentially means nothing more than “bridge” these days. This remains true for “The Lazarus Contract.” This story (much like the recent “The Button,” Justice League vs Suicide Squad, Robin War, Trinity War, etc), hypes itself…
Below you’ll find the cover of each title being released this week. Check them out. Study them. Try your best not to let your opinion of the story effect your thoughts on the cover, then vote for your favorite. If you’re like me, and can’t decide on just one, then you can select multiple covers…
It’s the fifth Wednesday of the month, so it’ll be a week of light reading! That’s ok though, because I’m sure most of us will end up using the money we save to go see Wonder Woman a few times, right? Or will that just be me? Alright, on to business! For a collection of…
If you enjoyed the first three issues of Mother Panic, but gave up on this book when the second arc started… Then you should pick up this issue. Just trust me! For the past few months, I’ve felt nothing but dread when I would sit down to read and review Mother Panic (as well…
Believe it or not, Justice League of America didn’t make me want to rip my hair out this week! I’m not going to go so far to say that the issue is good, but the worst moments of this issue are still better than the best moments of the last few issues. There are…
You know what I’ve been predicting for a while now? Do you remember? Yeah, well I hate to say I told you so, but… I’m beginning to notice a pattern with Batman Beyond, and that concerns me. On paper, Batman Beyond should be excellent. The stories that Jurgens is crafting are strong…
