Black Canary is proving to be a slow burn. That may be frustrating for some, but I see much potential in the book to watch Brenden Fletcher build a foundation for this amazing DC character.

I'll admit, I had no clue about this book. With the main Justice League title, Justice League of America, Justice League Dark and Justice League International on the shelves, United flew quietly under my radar.

With this week's release of Action Comics #42, I figured I'd cover what's been going on with the Man of Steel in his TRUTH storyline before your regularly scheduled Batman/Superman review. I am a Batman fan all the way, but I must admit that I'm currently more interested and invested in what's going on with Superman at this current…
After a lengthy hiatus, the Teen Titans return to continue their story following the return of Superboy. Will Pfeifer does a terrific job with the pacing of the story, breaking up the plot between various characters and bringing it all to a culmination at the end.

Batman and Robin was one of my favorite titles and was one of the main reasons I got into monthlies. I was heavily invested in Grant Morrison's entire Batman run and stuck with B&R even after the change from Morrison to Tomasi and Dick to Bruce. Batman and Robin was a colorful exploration of the relationship between…
I have to admit, after reading the preview for Black Canary's solo book, I wasn't too thrilled about her new adventure. The premise and the art style let me know that I was in for a story with a lighter tone than most of the books that I read or review, but I just wasn't…

Now this right here is a prime example of why I enjoyed parts of Convergence. While the main title is going on, a lot of fun (and face palms) have been had in the various tie-ins. What we get in Convergence: Shazam 1 & 2 is some good, clean fun. As with a few other books, we…

A more down to Earth look at Gotham and the citizens that call the dark city home, their first volume built a fresh foundation…
Convergence for the most part has actually been a fun, decent ride. A return of old and familiar faces either forgotten or retconned out of continuity. Beloved characters placed in the scenario of annihilation and survival, Convergence is really a celebration of DC's vast and expansive history. Convergence: Batman and Robin #2 is not a celebration. It is a catastrophe. I'm not…
