56 on Robin Solo Series Announced for AprilEver since Damian quit being Robin, I’ve been on the edge of my seat wondering what DC’s plans for his future are, and at last we’re getting some answers. It turns out he's still Robin after all! Starting April this year, Damian will feature in a new solo series titled Robin written by Joshua Williamson…
When I first saw solicits for Robin Eternal I found myself pretty excited. Tim Drake and Stephanie Brown teaming up again on a high stakes heist to stop the Magistrate from using a drug to create immortal henchmen? It had me at heist, and again with the promised team up. It's just about everything I…
In this our second week of Future State, and so far I’ve found myself surprised by a number of titles DC has put out. As with many events like this some of them have been good, meh, and there’s even one title I stopped reading a few pages in. Overall though, I’ve enjoyed a lot…
So after a week of news about Infinite Frontier, I’m feeling strangely energized. Not totally excited, but interested and curious certainly. One bit of news most applicable to our discussion of Endless Winter is the new Justice League line up, including both Hippolyta and Black Adam! What do you think, Nick? (You know what? This…
Last month Martinbrough set in motion his two part arc featuring Jason’s return to Gotham as he settled back into his place in The Hill and reconnected with old friends. Under the homecoming, darker things were brewing as warring factions of gangsters, vigilantes, and even some of Gotham's rogues were set to go head to…
(You know, there are a lot of easy jokes to make about a title like Endless Winter. “Yeah, this event sure does FEEL endless!” is the obvious one. “With a title like Endless Winter, you really should have expected an ice-cold reception!” is another. That being said, I actually think the title is the most…
The Death Metal side stories have been a mix of issues that feel critical to the larger story, and those that could be considered fluff or window dressing on the whole event. The Multiverse Who Laughs falls squarely into that second category. It is another anthology, and packed with 5 different stories of “worlds gone…
I’ve been looking forward to issue #51 of Red Hood for a while now. The appeal of seeing a new creative team take over the title was exciting enough, and now that I’ve read it I cannot wait to see where it goes. This issue works best in how it sets up the series going…
Here we are, at the end of another Teen Titans run. It’s a weird time in comics right now, as we wait on events to wrap up, new ones to start, and look for news about what might happen in the wake of all these cancelled titles. For Teen Titans however, this looks like less…
So, here we are at the end of Young Justice. In the last two weeks I've reviewed final issues of three titles, and out of all of them I think Young Justice sends off its heroes most successfully. It still stumbles into the pitfall of trying to do a little too much, but it has fun doing…
Have you ever read something that feels like it should have been three or four issues long, but was shoved into a single book? That’s what reading this issue of Red Hood feels like. As the final issue in Scott Lobdell’s run it should be a send off for the book, and in some instances…
Batgirl #50 is an oversized issue, that both finishes off Castelluci's run, and features two extra one shots featuring Batgirl. Each story is written by Castlluci and has different artists on each story and since they're all so different I'll review each one (the last two briefly since they are short) and give an overall…
As an event, Death Metal has generally not been my cup of tea. I was pretty excited when it started, but all the added stories have done little to keep me feeling that way. In fact, a lot of what it's been doing has pushed me away. So it's safe to say I didn't have…
The Teen Titans are on a quest to right the wrongs they committed by imprisoning and mind wiping their foes. When they are confronted by Superboy on his own search for Robin, how will they react? I actually did not mind this issue. That’s not to say I’m a fan of this run, but I…
In the penultimate issue of Young Justice Wonder Girl at last takes center stage. Last month she came to the team for help, this month we get to find out just what’s going on. Out of the original Young Justice team Cassie is the character I know the least about. When I’d started reading this…
When a body is found in the Hall of Justice the Justice League are faced with a challenge even they might not come out of if they don't work together! How did someone get in? Who is this person? And can the group figure it out before the whole Hall turns against them? Hey guys!…
Batman: The Joker War Zone features five separate tales showing moments of what’s going on in Gotham during the larger events of the Joker War going on over in Batman and associated Bat titles. The idea is to give a feel for what the other heroes and villains of Gotham are doing during the Joker’s…
After a short break to cross over with Joker War, the story returns to the Chamber of the All to finally wrap up Jason's latest adventure against the Untitled, now featuring two sets of Outlaws! The story picks up where issue #47 left off, with the old team of Roy, Starfire, and Jason rescuing the…
Batgirl #49 dives headfirst into having the Gordons investigate the murder of a Batgirl as well as continues to explore their current, highly dysfunctional, relationships. I’m going to come right out and say that I did not enjoy this issue. The more I’ve looked at it to write this review, the more frustrated I’ve become…
The Teen Titans are over, disbanded by Batman. Even so, they still have one last challenge to face: dealing with the fallout from the failed secret prison, and their own guilt in being a part of it all. With two issues to go, I feel like the story should focus most of its attention on…
