8 on Catwoman #69 ReviewSimilar to how Catwoman has a new creative team, the title has a new reviewer as I take over from the long-suffering William. Now I wanted to approach this series with fresh eyes, and as such I chose not to read any of the previous issues of the run in hopes that this would provide…
Yeah, I’m not going to sugarcoat it - the dreaded padding out of the story to make it 12 issues long has begun. Still, dear reader, I feel obligated to warn you of what to expect as we dive into this belfry of bat-themed bloodsuckers, so let me try to let you know what you…
Wow, I should skip this title more often, it seems to improve the quality of the material I’m reviewing. Well, to an extent. So what have we got this time? What’s a Calendar? The premise of this one, if the title wasn’t enough of a giveaway, is that Calendar Man has kidnapped a bunch of…
A new grounded Batman maxi-series is coming just in time for the holidays. Written by Dan Watters (Nightwing), art by Hayden Sherman (Absolute Wonder Woman), colors by Tríona Farrell (Women of Marvel), and lettering by Frank Cvetkovic (DC's How to Lose a Guy Gardner in 10 Days), Dark Patterns is set during the early days…
After addressing the state of the world after what had happened in the previous series while also setting up the events of this comic, World War V has done enough to prepare its readers for what’s to come. Now, what does it do with all this valuable setup? The Plot Thickens…Pun Absolutely Intended So, I…
Hey, it only took two months to get a new issue of Echoes. And I actually thought the last issue was pretty decent, all things considered. Does the series start moving at a decent pace from here? The Art Does So Much Work… Joe Quinones and Leonardo Ito bring their A-game to this issue. It…
So, after taking half the series to do so, Batman: The Dark Age finally began to chart its own course separate from its predecessor. Does that trend continue, or do Mark Russell and the Allreds fall back into old habits? So This May Come as a Shock, But Batman Has a Tragic Backstory… I’m being…
So here’s the much-awaited (?) sequel to the hit (?) mini-series DC vs. Vampires - the kind of cleverly named DC vs Vampires: World War V. While I was one of the few people who was initially ok with the liberties being taken in the first part for the sake of the story, even I…
🎶And now the end is near. And so I face the final curtain🎶 Well, Jason’s latest mini-series - set before Gotham War, so ultimately, any developments here are rendered moot - comes to a close. My biggest complaints about this series were a) not using Jason enough despite him being the title character and b)…
One of my recurring complaints about this series has been that it never quite managed to escape the shadow of its predecessor, making it feel like an unnecessary sequel. Superman: Space Age had already devoted plenty of time to its version of Batman. Does that change, or is Pariah going to show up for another…
So I just read Tom King’s The Human Target recently and have some thoughts. And those same thoughts came up while I was reading this issue of The Brave and the Bold. Namely, how much a character can end up defined by a few stories that people remember, even if they have grown out of…
Well, well, well, look who it is. Seriously, I thought I was the only one in the world looking forward to this comic because I was reviewing it. These massive delays between issues seriously make me question the point of releasing this comic as a “monthly” title when most people will probably discover the trade…
There are probably questions regarding why there hasn’t been a review of this title for the last two months. Well, there was a huge fight over who should get to review this amazing anthology between Chris and me. In the end, we had a duel over who should get to do it — non-lethally, of…
We’re close to the finish line, folks. Normally, this is the part of the story where all the disparate elements are brought together cohesively, and everything begins to make sense. Unfortunately, each issue of the Hill (featuring the Red Hood when they remember he’s supposed to be here) has focused on different elements each month,…
We’re at the halfway point of this mini, and the series is moving along at a decent clip. Bruce has become Batman and is now taking the fight back against the people behind the loss of not only his parents but also usurping his rightful legacy as an aid in their corruption. Where do we…
Now that Red Hood (seemingly) cannot handle the Hill situation by himself, Bat-Daddy is here to helicopter parent his prodigal son. But is Jason going to put up with his deadbeat dad showing up to tell him who the man of the house is? Or is Bruce going to send him back to his room…
Every now and then, even the most immersive story can occasionally remind its readers that they are reading a work of fiction. This usually happens when something unlikely to happen in the real world occurs in said story…like a rich trust fund kid actually spending any amount of time in jail. Welcome back folks, to…
When I took on this book as an assignment, one of the first things I looked up was the issues people had with it. One of the most common ones I saw was that Red Hood felt like a guest star in a book where he is supposed to be the main attraction (a practice…
Anthologies are theoretically a great way to tell multiple stories, providing the reader with a wide variety of options and even getting them to read something they might normally pick up. On the flip side, one may end up with a collection of less than stellar stories that come bundled at a price higher than…
So, the creative team behind the critically acclaimed Superman: Space Age is back again to deliver their take on the Dark Knight. Except…if you have read said acclaimed story, they already kind of did their own take on Batman. But this is a chance to look at the world from what they perceive as Batman’s…
