6 on Suicide Squad #18 reviewThe last time we checked in on Amanda Waller and the Suicide Squad, General Zod was drilling into his brain with his heat vision! So what should you expect from this issue? The usual: sex and mayhem… Ok, the sex is kind of new, but the mayhem is standard fair by now. In…
Yesterday was full of incredibly sad news. My heart goes out to all of the families effected by the bombing in Manchester. Senseless acts of violence always hit me hard, and only helps the themes of the comics we cover resonate with me more. I feel as though I've addressed too many acts of terror…
We have a range of titles being released next week, along with a range of quality. If there’s one title I had to recommend though, it would probably be Batman/ The Shadow. If you passed on the first issue, I highly recommend you scoop it up on Wednesday when you visit your local comic shop!…
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…
**Updated to reflect the correct issues for Batman and Nightwing since dccomics.com can't seem to get their act together. I feel like I need to apologize for a comment I made in one of my reviews last week (JLA). I made a comment along the lines that Justice League of America is 50% of the reason I hate reviewing…
Hey Warner Bros., if you need a script for Suicide Squad 2, look no further. Rob Williams has already done that for you. You’re welcome! It should be pretty clear by now that I’m a big fan of Suicide Squad, and an even bigger fan of Rob Williams. In fact, this is probably…
Crap story? Check. Bad dialogue? Check. Convenient plots? Check. Whiskey to try and forget the past twenty minutes? Check. I really hate this book. Nothing would make me happier than to see a new creative team on Batgirl & the Birds of Prey. At this point, I don’t even care if you deliver…
This week in Justice League of America, the JLA has armor made of light! Why? I don’t know! As far as I can tell, it serves no purpose. It doesn’t appear to be actual armor, and it doesn’t seem to have any offensive benefits either, so I’m not quite sure what the point is.…
When you launch a crossover involving the Titans/ Teen Titans and Deathstroke, and you title it “The Lazarus Contract” (a clear pull from the incredible “The Judas Contract”), you’re automatically giving yourself some extremely large shoes to fill. Rather than just needing to be good, “The Lazarus Contract” has to face, and ultimately live…
Here it is! The debut of our new, independent post: Cover Talk! We have some catching up to do, so I won’t delay this any further! 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…
We have a lot of great titles on-deck for next week, and I’m extremely excited! The second week of each month is always my favorite, and I have a feeling that many of you share that sentiment. If the titles weren’t exciting enough, Monday will also see our first post pertaining to covers, Cover Talk.…
There’s ch-ch-ch-ch-changes! Our cover polls have been growing in popularity, so we’re going to pull them out of our weekly Upcoming Comics post, and give them the special, loving attention they deserve! This also cuts down my workload for this article in particular, so you can expect Upcoming Comics every Saturday going forward (allowing us…
Color me surprised! This is the best Mother Panic has been in months! Oh, wait… No, no. Don’t get too excited, it wasn’t that good. It just wasn’t terrible. I’m going to make this review as simple as possible. The main reason I enjoyed this chapter more than the last few, was because…
In Batman Beyond #6, I loved nearly everything except for Terry’s bratty attitude. This month, Terry comes to his senses (a little), Babs and Curare take out some assassins, and Bruce talks to his dad! Batman Beyond “Rise of the Demon: Part 2” opens with an incredibly moving scene! Bruce sits in his…
What the *beep* is this? Come on, DC! This is some bottom of the barrel $#!% that gets passed up on Free Comic Book Day! Oi… Look, I honestly don’t know where to start… I hoped this issue would see a bump in quality because most of my dislike with Justice League of America…
Perfection. Sheer perfection. If you’ve been following Suicide Squad since it’s Rebirth, then you know that a lot has happened over the course of fifteen issues. Everything up to this point has felt like one, ever-growing, story as Williams masterfully intertwines plot and character arcs together. Consequences have played an active role…
It’s cover-a-palooza below! I’ve included the February 2017 Variant Cover poll at the bottom of the list, but I’m holding off one more week for March. There’s already so many covers and polls to review, that I felt March’s inclusion would’ve been too much. Anyway, get your voting fingers ready, because they’re going to be…
Last week DC released their July 2017 solicitations, and shortly after that, they announced their new Dark Matter line… If you follow me on Twitter, then you know I’ve given Dark Matter stank eye, strictly because of how DC is choosing to push it. When it comes down to it, this is essentially DC’s attempt…
Last week I said I was going to include February and March variant cover polls in this post… but I spent yesterday and today trying to repair my computer since a Windows update didn’t load properly. I’m now terrified of Windows updates considering this is the second time this is happened to me in the…
Last week, Andrew reached out to me and asked if I would be interested in reviewing Teen Titans: The Judas Contract. If I’m being honest, I wasn’t too excited to jump on the offer. I’ve reviewed a number of DC’s animated films since their relaunch, and have yet to watch one that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed.…
