0 on DC vs Vampires: World War V # 10 reviewsigh Let’s just get this over with. DC vs Vampires: World War V #10 hits a new low. Like an all-time series low. Like it is so disappointing at this point that I’m forgoing the bit I’ve been doing with the series as my partner in a toxic relationship because this thing deserves a proper…

Welcome to From the Batman News Desk, a new series of op-eds and articles covering various aspects of Batman history. Each week one of the Batman News writers will share their thoughts on Batman characters and concepts across comics, film, television, and more. While Batman was a founding member of the Justice League, a decision…
Jackson and I continue our joint review of the “We Are Yesterday” crossover event between our titles, with this issue being Part 5. As usual, my comments will be in purple, while Jackson’s comments will be in blue. One of the first things that I did after reading this issue was check whether or not…
The last time we left Selina, we were learning about how her time as Evie led to her being hunted in the present day. While we had been getting flashbacks to her time as Evie interspersed throughout the run, #75 decided to focus entirely on the flashbacks. Which introduced a bunch of new characters on…
So, in the last session of this hot-and-cold relationship I have with the DC vs Vampires franchise, I had reached an understanding with the series. It would provide B-grade schlock horror while moving the plot forward, and I…would have to be ok with that. It’s fine, relationships are all about adjusting to suit each other's…
I hate this comic. Scratch that, I hate this series. Now, unlike a lot of people, I didn’t have issues with the premise. Yes, is it something that Renee Montoya had done in the past? No. But this is a world of superheroes. Anything is technically possible if the creative team is willing to put…
If you didn’t catch last week’s review of World’s Finest #38, Jackson and I will be teaming up to cover the crossover “We Are Yesterday,” which involves Justice League and World’s Finest. For your convenience, my text will be in purple while Jackson’s text will be in blue. So, this issue of Justice League acts…
Last time we left Selina, she was facing serious danger. Which I would argue is good, as this story has felt extremely boring so far, with the stakes so dull they couldn’t pierce through a vampire’s heart. Does the latest issue do anything to improve the blandness of the plot? Finally, some context…far too late…
So now that DC vs Vampires: World War V has done what every DC Elseworld does when it runs out of ideas and brings in Darkseid, the tone of this series has shifted from a tense survival horror (how tense was actually debatable) to a B-grade action movie with vampires and aliens. And honestly, it…
If you’ve been reading my reviews for this series, you may have noticed a trend of the review scores slowly declining as all the problems I predicted the series would face started emerging one after the other. Does this issue manage to halt this negative progression in time for the crossover with World’s Finest? In…
Ladies, gentlemen, non-binary friends…it’s finally happened. An issue of Catwoman where we get to experience the rare phenomenon of plot progression as this issue finally starts to utilize all the plot points this series has acquired so far. Does it do it well? The story opens with the death of one of Selina’s old acquaintances…
The Question: All Along the Watchtower #5 is a collection of cliches with the Question’s blank mask slapped on top of it. All right, review over. Recommended If —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *gets an email from the editor “What?” *a few angry back-and-forths later “Fine, I’ll write an actual review.” —------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This series has been extremely disappointing to…
After an interlude focusing on how Vampire Diana and Green Lantern Alfred deal with living in this new world, we’re back to the main story where a three-way conflict between the vampires, the humans, and a newly introduced third party of Darkseid and his forces. The situation is poised to be extremely chaotic and, dare…
Last time on Justice League Unlimited, the organization known as Inferno kept true to its name and set another fire for the League to put out. Can our expanded roster put an end to their dastardly schemes? Find out in this week’s review of Justice League Unlimited #4!!! I consider myself a bit of a…
Renee Montoya had one job as the head of security of the Watchtower, and so far, she has been terrible at it. Can she turn things around, or will she have to face unemployment… as well as the death of every superhero in the DC Universe because that’s what the Justice League is now? I…
After causing mayhem at a party of one of the Belov brothers, Selina makes her way to Japan in search of further answers. Does the location switch manage to liven up what has been a rather dull story so far? So stop me if you’ve heard this before. Catwoman is attacked by assailants who seem…
sigh Why do you keep doing this to me DC vs Vampires? Every time I think I should give up on you, you put in the bare minimum effort to keep this relationship going (Happy Valentine’s Week to our readers). And like a schmuck who doesn’t know any better, I choose to stay. Oh yeah,…
So far, this run on Catwoman has been pretty to look at but has underwhelmed a bit in terms of its approach to the story. While not bad, the story has felt like a mix of previously established Catwoman tropes commonly seen in previous stories like When in Rome and Lonely City (yes, I recently…
So, after a rather enjoyable detour focusing mainly on the Martian Manhunter, I’ve come around to this premise of every superhero being on the League. There’s certainly potential here if the creative team uses the heroes creatively, if what happens in this series isn’t contradicted by stuff happening elsewhere, and if everything comes together just…
