  • Suicide Squad #8 review

    “Going Sane – Part 4: I Believe In Miracles” You know what I like about Suicide Squad? You can count on it to be one hell of a fun read! Rob Williams and Jim Lee have crafted a story that I look forward to reading each and every time an issue is released. The action…


  • Batgirl and the Birds of Prey #5 review

    Batgirl, Black Canary, and Huntress are now face-to-face with Oracle. It’s what we were promised in the previous issue, but never received. I’m well aware that some people will like what takes place in this issue, but I’m definitely not one of those people. The same problems that have plagued Batgirl and the Birds of…


  • Upcoming Comics: December 14, 2016

    So… Christmas is roughly ten days away. I should probably wrap up my Christmas shopping today or Thursday considering it will be my last chance. And of course, the people that I still need to shop for are the ones that I have no idea what to get them… So I’ll probably end up procrastinating…


  • Upcoming Comics: December 7, 2016

    Nightwing returns to Bludhaven this week, and in case you missed it, Jay hosted an interview with the creative team behind Nightwing, Tim Seeley and Marcus To. There’s some interesting tidbits that are worthwhile if you want a glimpse into what this arc will be like, and how the team approached it. Our latest edition…


  • Suicide Squad #7 review

    The people of Belle Reve have lost their mind… except for Harley Quinn. She’s sane, and she’s encountering a world of insanity. Go figure. Typically, I would find this concept interesting. Having a psychopath turn normal isn’t exactly a new concept – they’ve done it with the Joker – but changing the character that experiences…


  • Upcoming Comics: November 30, 2016

    Considering the month of November puts an emphasis on being thankful, it is kind of awesome that we have five Wednesdays that fall in the month. You know what that means: Annuals and specials (and some catch-up). I know that in reality, we would get comics regardless of the how the Wednesdays fall within the…


  • Best Cover of Q-3 2016

    Each week you’ve been voting on your favorite cover in our Upcoming Comics articles… And now we’re bringing those winners together into one poll to decide which comics will compete in our Best Cover of 2016 cover poll at the end of the year. I guess you can essentially look at this as a Semi-Final…


  • February 2017 Solicitations

    Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Whether you’re waiting for the turkey to finish cooking, or you’re trying to come to terms with how much you ate, we hope this post finds you happy and thankful! We are thankful for this site, and for each and every one of you that continue to come join in on our…


  • Titans #5 review

    I’ll be the first one to admit that Titans is not a title I get excited to read. So far, Abnett has delivered a less-than-stellar story, and it only makes it worse when you compare this title to the Rebirth special that preceded it – and even more so considering Wally is the focus of…


  • Batman Beyond #2 review

      All you need to do is look at the credits page for this issue of Batman Beyond, and that alone should convince you that this chapter will be well worth $2.99! I mean, come on! Who could turn this down?   Batman (Bruce Wayne) is chained to the front of a freaking snow plow!…


  • Upcoming Comics: November 23, 2016

    Thanksgiving is this week, and I honestly feel like I’ve got quite a bit to be thankful for! For starters, this will be the first holiday season (Thanksgiving and Christmas) I’ve spent with my family in nearly ten years! I can’t tell you how happy that makes me. On top of that, I’m also thankful…


  • Suicide Squad #6 review

    In this issue of Suicide Squad, everyone goes crazy! Well, crazier than normal anyway. That naturally makes the issue itself crazy as well. Er… Also more crazy than usual. It’s crazy squared, or something like that. Look, I’m starting to hear a lot of little voices, so just know that there’s a whole lot of…


  • Upcoming Comics: November 16, 2016

    We’re in for what appears to be another decent week in comics! Batman #10 didn’t exactly sit well with a number of readers, so I’m curious to see how it recovers or if it does recover. Even if it doesn’t manage to find it’s footing again though, we’ve got some great nostalgia coming from Nightwing,…


  • Batgirl and the Birds of Prey #4 review

    I’m making it official. I’ve lost hope in Batgirl & the Birds of Prey. There will be no more optimism from this guy, because it’s only going to frustrate me more each month. You all know that I really want to like this title. I’m a champion for the Birds of Prey brand, and Huntress…


  • Mother Panic #1 review

    Meet Violet Page. She’s rich. She’s punk. She’s part of the Gotham elite. And she’s a vigilante. As much as this might sound familiar, it probably won’t feel familiar. The only familiarity a general comic reader might connect with this title is Gotham City and Batman. Everything else about Mother Panic is odd, offbeat, dark,…


  • Upcoming Comics: November 9, 2016

    My fellow Americans, today is the day that you make a choice. It is election day… but the choice I’m referring to is not your vote. The choice I’m referring to, is the choice(s) you make no matter who wins this election. You have the ability to make positive choices in your life to help…


  • Catwoman: Election Night #1 review

    I love politics. I openly admitted that last year when the primary debates were beginning, and my sentiment hasn’t changed too much since then. I read political magazines, try to keep myself glued to the news, and I follow quite a few political news podcasts. That being said, I hate this election. Between Donald Trump…


  • Upcoming Comics: November 2, 2016

    I hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween! I worked last night, but saw plenty of trick-or-treaters last night. There were a TON of Harley Quinns, and plenty of Batmen and Batgirls, but surprisingly very few Jokers. I love Halloween, and nothing makes me happier than to see kids who are excited to dress…


  • Batman Beyond #1 review

    This is Batman Beyond’s first issue since Rebirth, and it’s a bit of mixed bag. I don’t think the issue is bad, but there are definitely a number of aspects that don’t work in the book’s favor. Ironically, there isn’t anything particularly negative about the issue itself that causes me to think this. Instead, the…


  • Suicide Squad #5 review

    The more I read Rob Williams’ Suicide Squad, the more I wish he would helm the upcoming Justice League vs Suicide Squad crossover. I’ve greatly enjoyed his work so far, and feel that he’s doing a great job of balancing the various tones of the book brilliantly. Yes, the stories are shorter, but that isn’t…
