19 on Nightwing #65 reviewLast issue ended with Ric freeing Bea from captivity and confronting Talon, Dick Grayson’s great-grandfather, on the rooftop of the Prodigal bar. Issue #65 picks up with Talon still in mid-leap toward Ric, and we’re off to the races… But only if it’s a turtle race. The overall arc is still moving at the pace…
Last month, the fractious team of Okkult, Hax, and Dex-Starr used a device that tracked Omega energy (such as Darkseid uses) to try to locate New Gods and beam them to their base as allies. Unfortunately, they retrieved only Blackfire, who seriously did not appreciate being yanked away from Tamaran, a big, mysterious box, and…
If you’re curious about who Teen Lantern is and how she joined Young Justice, this is the issue that finally offers some answers. But while most of the issue focuses on Teen Lantern, there’s enough progress in the overall story that developing her origin doesn’t feel like a total diversion from the main plotline. After…
Welcome to cyberspace Frankenstein! I mean Batgirl #39!If you know Mary Shelley’s iconic novel (or the Classics Illustrated comic book version) and tend to deduce whodunit about halfway into a mystery, you might have caught the similarities. It took me until this issue, with the Oracle android planning to confront Babs directly, to see this arc…
Every time I’ve opened a copy of Nightwing in the last year, I’ve mentally braced myself. (Yes, the “Ric” Grayson saga has run for about a year, not the interminable, dreary eons it seems like to some of us.) I did that again with #64. To my surprise, I found myself relaxing as I read, thinking…
You know something’s wrong when you have to pull out the prior issue of a book and look at the end in hopes of understanding what’s going on in the current one. I found the beginning of this story so confusing that I pulled out issue #7. It didn’t help. That’s unfortunate because there’s a…
If you’re a Jessica Cruz fan, you really don’t want to miss this issue. Our last sight of her, at the end of the prior issue, was heartbreaking. But the most intriguing things are coming out of that ending! Darkseid crushed Jessica and activated Sepulkore, triggering the creation of a pocket universe. What happens next…
At the end of the last issue, the Terrible Trio (criminals masked as a Shark, Fox, and Vulture) reawakened the android that was Babs’s Oracle avatar with the help of Lex Luthor. Meanwhile, Babs was getting her butt kicked by Killer Moth. In issue #38, their showdown leads to hints of something bigger behind him,…
The last issue ended with Talon William Cobb on a rooftop, using a drone to shadow Ric. Lex Luthor appeared on the rooftop to make Cobb an offer, but we don’t see the specifics of it. [spoiler] The solicitations say he offers Cobb what he’s always wanted, a chance to get Dick Grayson into the…
I love movies and books, including comics, where lots of stuff blows up. That’s not because a well-rendered explosion, whether in CGI, graphics, or verbal description, is just really cool. It is, but the more important aspect of explosions is that they change things. What happens in the aftermath usually sends the characters in a…
