8 on Upcoming Comics: February 17, 2016Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! For those of you that are in a relationship, I hope you’ve had a wonderful day – whether it’s been quiet, entertaining, or romantic. And for those of you not in a relationship, I hope you had an equally amazing day! As for my fellow Americans here in the U.S., I…
This is Tieri's third installment of Catwoman, and it's probably my least favorite issue of his to date. Since he's taken over, Catwoman's pace has been fast and furious, bringing a sleek energy to the book. This issue, however, feels like the creative process itself was rushed. The script reads as if it didn't receive…
New Suicide Squad #17 Written by Tim Seeley Art by Juan E. Ferreyra I've been critical of New Suicide Squad for quite some time now, so I'm extremely happy to see a new creative team taking the helm of this book. Most of the issues I've had with this title stem from its previous writer...…
It looks like we’re getting some fill-ins on the creative teams earlier than expected due to Rebirth. It’s still unclear what Rebirth will contain, but I’m sure we’ll be getting more hints and details within the next month. Now, I typically view fill-in creative teams as a bad thing – and let’s face it, most…
In case you didn’t know, there’s a BIG film that’s being released soon. Everyone is talking about it, and it’s the most anticipated movie of the year! No, no... I mean, yes… No! Not that one! This one! Glad I cleared that up! I’d hate to see a Civil War at DC Comics… Anyway, the…
Now this is more like it! After last month’s less-than-stellar issue, Midnighter returns with a level of violence and vulgarity that just warms my heart… which may or may not speak volumes about me. At the start of the series, the God Garden was raided, and dangerous tech was stolen then sold on the black…
Bruce Wayne is missing. Alfred covers for him while Nightwing and Robin patrol Gotham City in his stead. And a new player, Batwoman, investigates Batman's disappearance. That, ladies and gentleman, is the official synopsis for this film. You’d think that DC could’ve been a little more creative, but I suppose it get’s the job done.…
This is an El Nino year for us, so we’ve been facing more storms than usual in Los Angeles. I love the rain, because it gives me an “excuse” to slow down and be a little lazy. Well yesterday the storms were so heavy that it knocked out electricity all over the city, and I…
There’s no easy way to put this, so I’m just going to say it. I’m beginning to dislike this book more and more. In fact, I’m starting to dislike all of Fletcher’s books. Gotham Academy is pure gold, but even it is suffering right now. Batgirl is in my list of least favorite titles, and…
I bet you're wondering what I'm going to write. Scott Lobdell doesn't have writing credits, so I can't rail on him in this review... Or can I? Look, I'm clearly not a fan of Lobdell. I've been pretty transparent about that. With that acknowledged, I don't hate his work just because it's from him. He's…
We’re back to a regular cadence with Justice League of America and I’m slowly beginning to warm back up to this book, especially after last month’s issue. We’ve known that Rao is a less than stellar guy, but last month was the first time we actually witnessed him own it, when he attacked Superman. With…
Two stories. Two character focuses. One book. There's a part of me that really wanted to write a separate review for each story (as in two separate posts), but if you plan on buying the monthly issues, then you're stuck with both stories... So you're getting two reviews in on post. I'll score each issue…
This looks like it’s going to be a pretty good week! We’ve got Grayson, the debut of Suicide Squad’s Most Wanted – blah, blah, blah, what’s going on in June? I’m a twenty minute drive from Burbank. I’m going to find my best Batman costume and do my best Batman impression. If my reviews don’t…
Typically I get really excited when DC releases their solicitations – and I did get a little excited this time as well… but if I’m being completely honest, forget April and tell me more about June! It’s like I don’t know how to feel about some of these titles... I’m afraid that if I get…
2015 may be behind us, but the stories that were released during that year will always be with us! Is that a good thing, or bad thing? I'll be one of the first people to openly say that I wasn't too impressed with DC's offering's for the year, but I don't think I'm alone considering…
Secret Six #10 “Watch A Yellow Sun Fade" Written by Gail Simone Art by Dale EagleshamTom Derenick Colors by Jason Wright The magical fallout comes to a close in “Watch A Yellow Sun Fade!” Is this the end of magic? Will Black Alice sacrifice herself for the world? Will other members of the Secret Six…
So I spoke to soon yesterday when I sent a tweet out saying I’d caught up with everything, because roughly half an hour after that, I started getting phone calls from work… Clearly the lesson of this is that I should be unemployed so I can take care of what’s important (BatmanNews.com)… Ok, I’m joking……
New Suicide Squad # “Freedom” Written by Sean Ryan Art by Pilippe Briones Colors by Blond Thank God this day has finally come! You all know how I feel about this book, and you know how I feel about Sean Ryan. The guy seems really nice, and quite smart, but it baffles me how he…
Catwoman #48 “Run Like Hell” Part 2 Written by Frank Tieri Art by Inaki Miranda Colors by Eva de la Cruz Last month I gave Tieri’s debut an 8.5/10, which wasn’t received too well by a few people. I’ll agree that my score may have been a little inflated because I was expecting something worse…
Batman/ Superman #28 "Universe's Finest" Written by Tom Taylor Pencils by Robson Rocha Colors by Blond Considering the past year has practically been void of stories featuring the real Batman, I find myself getting REALLY excited when we are treated to a story that actually does. Layer on the fact that Tom Taylor (Who had…
