5 on Titans #9 reviewTitans is quickly becoming one of my favorite titles to read! I won’t go so far to say that it’s the best, but it is one of the more enjoyable books I read. Much like Green Arrow, there’s a positivity to this title that is infectious, and that fact that Abnett has stepped up…
(Reads issue and rubs hands together mischievously.) Oh… Oh, this is good. This is really, really good… Have I ever told you that I’m a fan of Rob Williams? Because I am. A big fan. Out of all the writers I cover at the moment, I feel as though his approach to a…
You know how I was hoping (wishing/ praying) that Steve Orlando would deliver with Justice League of America since Hitch’s Justice League is complete crap? Yeah, well… Orlando totally failed in that mission! What in the hell did I just read? Everything about this issue feels off. The quality of Orlando’s narrative plummets.…
I’m not going to lie, I’m pretty excited about this week’s releases! As expected, I can’t wait to get my hands on Detective Comics, but I’m also looking forward to Snyder’s All Star Batman considering how good the last two issues have been! Aside from the Bat books, we’re also getting a number of solid…
Yes, I’m still in my, “Oh my God! I’m so far behind!” stress mode, while frantically pulling together posts as fast as possible, BUT… this happened late last week, and it was worth sharing! In case you're wondering, that’s Jay and I… Not-so-diabolical plans were made for the near future. Beware. Alright, on to…
This is a week late (the joys of working two jobs and having a puppy that chews through my laptop charger). Since I’m so late, and I still need to get Upcoming Comics knocked out for this week, I’m not going to add any comments. Also, I’d like to say thanks for being patient with…
You know how I’ve been complaining about how Jurgens and team haven’t been executing issues to my expectation? You know how I’ve been commenting on some lack of logic and wasted opportunities? Yeah, well throw all of that out the window, because $#!% gets real in this issue! Going into Batman Beyond’s finale…
Amanda Waller is dead! We all know what that means in comics… No more Suicide Squad! Shut the program down, throw the team members into a proper jail, and cancel the book!... That, or Waller isn’t dead. Take your pick. If there’s one thing that I think we all need to remind ourselves,…
Just as Batman pulls together his own Justice League and gets them started with some junior league missions, a cosmic threat appears on Earth to save it! Time to call in… Wait… Save it? Did I read that correctly? (Pauses and re-checks the issue.) Yep, I read it correctly. Doctor Doom Lord Havok and…
DC should release their May 2017 solicitations today or tomorrow, so keep an eye out for our coverage of what’s to come! Other than that, I’m going to keep things short and sweet, and wish everyone a happy President’s Day! If you’re one of the lucky few that are free of the burden of work,…
After a slight delay, Mother Panic returns with an unexpected plot change, and a confrontation from the Bat(woman). I’m not going to say I’m disappointed by either of these progressions, but they both feel a little… sudden. In fact, it almost feels like we missed an issue… Mother Panic crashed onto the scene…
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I hope each and every one of you have a wonderful day, no matter what your plans are! I also want to apologize for the delay in this post. I found this little guy on Monday! He’s part of the reason this post is later than usual. I found him…
I noticed Nightwing: Old Friends, New Enemies in various comic shops and on Comixology, so I started asking friends of mine if they’d read it. Most hadn’t, but those that had, recommended it. I’m always a little cautious of older stories simply because the writing can be a bit cheesy from time to time. The…
Like most of the titles I’m reviewing this week, Titans is in a short transition phase as it leaves one arc to begin another. Honestly, anything is better than a self-loathing Wally and Abra Kadabra though! Following the Abra Kadabra arc, and the incredible one-shot with Wally and Superman, Abnett decides to follow…
Oh boy… I’m 100% positive that Romita’s art is going to skew my judgement of this book… Suicide Squad #11 is the first issue following the epilogue to Justice League vs Suicide Squad. For the most part, it’s business as usual for the Squad. For Amanda Waller, however, it’s anything but… And that makes…
You ready for a shocker? This was easily the most enjoyable issue of Batgirl & the Birds of Prey that I’ve covered! Surprising, right? Before you get too excited, I’m going to douse your hopes that my opinion of this title is becoming favorable… It’s not. But, this issue did surprise me. After I…
Justice League of America: Rebirth gives us a first look into what this title will be like, and in doing so, Steve Orlando decided to pull a page out of David Ayer’s book from Suicide Squad. Yep, that’s right, we’re starting this series off by highlighting the cast… And that’s about it. I…
After posting our Holiday Gift Guide for 2016, I decided to look into Funko’s Legion of Collector’s subscription box. Why? Because it’s awesome! I reached out to Funko to see if I could get a sample to review for the site, and sure enough, about a week or so later, this little beauty arrived at…
I literally have two thoughts running through my mind at the moment. And… Alright, on to business! This week’s releases are listed in order of what I’m most excited to read, to what I’m least excited to read. For each title, I’ll include the official solicitation, the talent credits, more of my randomness, and the…
There are few books that bring me as much joy as Batgirl/ Robin: Year One. Originally two separate trades, they've been joined together to make one magnificent book! When the opportunity came for me to review this trade, I jumped on it. Why? Because I love this book so much, and it was a perfect excuse to…
