43 on August 2016 SolicitationsDC is officially stating that Suicide Squad is dominating August… but they should really just say that Harley Quinn is dominating August. Let’s look at it this way, there will be four Suicide Squad titles getting released this month (Suicide Squad Rebirth, Suicide Squad #1, Suicide Squad’s Most Wanted, and Suicide Squad War Crimes). It’s…
Is it just me, or is 2016 flying by? I can’t believe we’re already halfway through May! It’s crazy! On a positive note, that means summer is right around the corner, and that Comic Con will be here before we know it! And considering we’ll be in the middle Rebirth’s launch, I bet SDCC will…
It’s issue #52, and with this issue, Catwoman comes to a close in the New 52. This title has seen its ups and downs throughout the course of this run, with the best moments coming from Genevieve Valentine, and the worst moments coming from Anne NOcenti. In between these two runs, we’ve been graced with…
More books are coming to a “close” this week as we creep closer to Rebirth. We will be saying goodbye to the likes of Batman/ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Catwoman this week, so enjoy every page you can get of those books before they’re “gone.” I’m personally counting down the days until Rebirth, and…
We’re treated to another issue of Seeley & Ferreyra’s New Suicide Squad, and all I can find myself thinking is, “Are we sure there’s not a way these two can continue this book, and manage their Rebirth titles at the same time?” Because, let’s face it… That would be awesome! This arc has focused on…
We have reached the end… Midnighter’s run comes to a close with this issue, and it genuinely makes me sad. When this title was announced, my knowledge of Midnighter was strictly compiled from his appearances in Grayson. Andrew pitched the book my way to review, and I was honestly hesitant. I didn’t dislike M as…
Ah…. May… I always loved the month of May when I was in grade school, because it meant that school year was almost over. Don’t get me wrong, I was one of those kids that actually liked school, but nothing beat summer break! It’s one of the things that sucks about being an adult… No…
The best way to describe Deathstroke, is fun and action packed! I typically refer to this title as the “summer blockbuster” because it reminds me of those big summer, action movies that are released each year. They’re usually not overtly deep, but they contain a lot of thrills and are quite entertaining. That’s pretty much…
Secret Six inches closer to its final issue, and with that comes the tying up of a lot of loose ends… and considering this title has consistently had issues with pacing, tone, and purpose (all of which were on top of numerous delays), I’m far from excited to tie up loose ends. Last month I…
I’ve gotten to the point where I dread reviewing Suicide Squad’s Most Wanted because Katana has been so bad. This reality is even more painful for me considering how much of a soft spot I have for her as a character, and I would honestly rather this book not exist, than be forced to sit…
Sound the alarms! Ring the bells! I’ve broken my rule for a second time, and I’ve given a book a perfect score! (In case you’re wondering, the previous instance was The Multiversity: Pax Americana.) Now you might be asking yourself, “What’s his rule?” My “rule” is that I don’t give books a score of 0…
There are quite a few books we’re covering this week due to a recent influx of delays. On top of that, we’re also seeing additional delays with select titles… These recent delays are only making me want Rebirth to hurry up and start even more, but is also making more nervous for those titles that…
More Rebirth news! And Nightwing! NIGHTWING!!! In addition to that, we’re getting some details about Birds of Prey – which I openly admit I’m probably the most excited about because it’s the return of Helena Bertinelli as Huntress… Seriously, super stoked for that! You have no idea how happy that makes me! Also, if you…
I’m going to keep this short and sweet because DC just released their solicitations for July! You know what that means… more Rebirth news! If you couldn’t tell, I’m SO READY for Rebirth to hurry up and get here… all of this filler story telling just isn’t doing it for me. I am concerned about…
Spinning out of last month’s short story, “Night at the Museum,” Tieri continues the narrative he set in motion pertaining to the False Face Society, and the infamous faceless mask. I was pretty excited to see him build on this, because I really enjoyed the short story (although, I still wish the entire, oversized issue…
If you were expecting Harley Quinn & the Suicide Squad’s April Fool’s Special to be your standard, oversized Harley romp… you’re mistaken. While this is very much a Harley Quinn story, chock full of the usual craziness we’ve come to expect from her, this issue also, and more importantly, serves as a Suicide Squad #0…
The time has come… last week I asked you to take on the daunting task of associating our two newer critics as Gotham related characters. The results are in… Cat – Talia al Ghul To quote Cat herself, “Oh yeah. I like this. Batman’s lover!” Brian – Tim Drake (pre New 52) Why Tim? Well,…
“Robin is forced to join the young super team and soon has to help lead them in a fight against the mighty Justice League after they are possessed by the demon Trigon.” – DC Comics I always want to laugh when I read the synopsis that DC releases for these films… I feel like they…
Ring the bell, because the battle has begun! It’s the Suicide Squad, the “Faux Squad” (my name for them… not their official name), and the Fist of Cain… Going into this issue, I kept wanting to say, “It’s going to be a bloodfest,” but I honestly wasn’t sure. Considering the circumstances, this issue needed to…
After some delays, and some shuffling of release order, we finally get the Justice League: Darkseid War special. As much as I want to be upset by the delays, I find myself incapable of getting too angry because each issue ends up being so damn satisfying. This issue, is no exception. Based on the cover…
