1 on Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #3 reviewLast time we left our heroes protagonists, they were in the middle of recruiting for their heist. And we get a delightful bunch of characters that rarely get the spotlight as well as one new addition to the DC Universe. So, what does this issue bring? At this rate, I’m going to run out of…

This comic is pointless and you should not buy it. Note that I said pointless, not necessarily bad. While there are plenty of things to like in this comic, especially if you are fans of a certain character who we will get more into later, this comic functionally has no reason to exist. Its predecessor…

Thank God this series is coming to a close. Don’t get me wrong, it had its moments. While the sequel to DC vs Vampires has long given up any attempt at horror, it was occasionally entertaining as the equivalent to a B-grade, low-budget action flick. But those are usually good for cheap thrills and not…

Last time on Justice League Unlimited… A heavily injured Time Trapper had crashed into the Justice League Watchtower. Unfortunately, his powers started going haywire and destroying the place, putting the Leaguers on-board at risk. However, out of all the Leaguers present, Mr. Terrific faces death first as the captured Parademon has an explosive birth and…

So I have made no secret of the fact that the Catwoman run up to this point has been slow and generic. There were far too many uninteresting characters, all of them new, and most of whose motives we learn far too late owing to the in medias res style of storytelling employed. The art…

The Justice League has had a lot of members, with almost every hero (and a few villains) being part of its roster at some point in time. However, some of these lineups stand out amongst all the versions we have seen over the years. Some of these you can guess pretty easily, while others I'm…

The first issue of Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League did a great job hooking the reader (a.k.a yours truly) in well and truly. An interesting premise, combined with decent reasoning and character work, did a lot of heavy lifting in keeping my interest. Add on some amazing art from Nicola Scott and Anette…

So now that We are Yesterday is literally yesterday’s news, we return to your regularly scheduled Justice League Unlimited programming Uh, what’s that? We have another event coming up? And the League will be a part of it? Including this issue? So it never ends? Well at least the content makes me feel like its…

Remember that HBO show Westworld? The one that started off strong but then the creative team got a bad case of the “I-need-to-be-smarter-than-my-viewers”-itis? For those who don’t know or have forgotten, the premise of that show was in extremely simplified terms was if humanity creates artificial life to do its bidding (which in an HBO…

Sometimes as a comic book fan you get a good feeling about a book. Oftentimes that feeling dissipates after reading it, but every now and then, you get to read something that matches or at least reaches close to your initial expectations. So yeah I really like the first issue of Cheetah and Cheshire Rob…

So this comic is an interesting one for multiple reasons. It is a rebranded version of the old Justice League Quarterly, except this time each of these issues are getting #1s instead of being labeled under a single series. This might actually help sales as readers are unlikely to remember a random series coming out…

Breaking Me by Topic plays in the background as I write this Why is a comic like DC vs Vampires: World War V made? An intent to tell a compelling story? Doubtful, as I don’t remember too many people clamoring for a sequel after the way the last one ended. A need to cash in…

So this issue isn’t technically part of the main crossover and acts more as a setting up point, we felt that Jackson and I should do our due diligence and review this issue together. As always Jackson’s text will be in blue and mine will be in purple. So the epilogue to this long, long…

So for this month instead of reviewing the latest issue of Catwoman, I get to check out Selina’s wacky adventures alongside her fellow Gotham City divas in Gotham City Sirens: Unfit for Orbit #3. Considering how DC approaches wacky most of the time, this could end up being more punishing than my regular routine… or…

Where do I even start with this? Well, I guess I start with the biggest elephant in the room. At this moment, the most noteworthy thing about this series are the massive delays between each issue (the last issue came out in December of last year). But at this point, I’m not sure how much…

Well here we are at the end of “We Are Yesterday,” a crossover between World’s Finest and Justice League Unlimited. Fittingly, the reviews for this crossover, was also a crossover between its respective reviewers, Jackson and me. It was a blast doing my first crossover review and I hope Jackson had fun as well. So…

So this arc of Catwoman has been going on for so long that we have our third artist on this title (please welcome Danilo Beyruth). And yes, someone might argue that all of these issues have consisted of multiple two-part mini-arcs with separate names. To that I would say, I can reheat leftover pizza from…

Each week one of the Batman News writers will share their thoughts on Batman characters and concepts across comics, film, television, and more. It's almost been another decade.
