5 on Convergence: Crime Syndicate #1 reviewWriter Brian Buccellato crafts an exciting, thrilling tale involving the Crime Syndicate of Earth-Three and the Justice Legion Alpha of the 853rd Century from the DC One Million storyline. The two teams chosen for this particular Convergence tie-in piqued my interest and Buccellato does a heck of a job bringing the story to life. The…
Convergence: The New Teen Titans #1 "Opposing Truths" Written by Marv Wolfman Pencils by Nicola Scott Inks by Marc Deering Colors by Jeremy Cox I was really eager to get my hands on this issue of Convergence. The biggest draw of the world hopping event is the return to early iterations of DC's stable. This particular…
Writer: Ron Marz Pencils: Denys Cowan Inks: Klaus Janson Colors: Chris Sotomayor So Convergence is already underway, and readers are getting their first glimpses at how the event is shaking up the DC Universe. If you're anything like me, you're approaching this storyline with high hopes and weary anticipation. This could easily be something spectacular or…
The Batman/Superman Annual plays out as sort of an extended epilogue for the previous arc. I enjoyed the last few issues involving Superman's nemesis, Xa-Du the Phantom King, so I was curious to see how things would continue after Batman/Superman #20's conclusion. I mentioned in the last review that I felt a little cheapened by the ending of…
The Teen Titans received just what the doctor ordered to get things really going for the title: fresh blood! Literally, fresh blood is what compiled the beginning of this issue. Numerous slained bodies laid lifeless in the streets, blood splattered everywhere. All of the evidence seems to point to a familiar face that has returned--Superboy!…
If you've been following Batman and Robin for some time or just happened to pick up the previous annuals, then you know that these have been exceptional pieces in Tomasi's run. They've been filled emotion and great, fun moments between the Dynamic Duo. The first annual had Bruce on a wild goose chase that took…
First off, I'd like to give a virtual round of applause to the creative team (Tomasi, Gleason, Gray, and Kalisz) for reaching the end of their run on this title. It's been an emotional, thrilling ride with some very stunning visuals and memorable moments that really helped define the status quo of the current Dynamic…
Here we have the conclusion to this stunning Kryptonian tale of family, friendship, and revenge. Of course, Batman's involved, but only in key moments. Family Affairs mainly focuses on the members of the House of El, Xa-Du the Phantom King, and the Kandorian captives. Kal-El and Kara Zor-El must put their attachments to their friend and relatives…
At the beginning of this two part story, S.T.A.R. Labs' security (or lack thereof) had been breached. This spelled disaster for the city since the culprits broke into the secret vault to access the discontinued projects section which reportedly housed some destructive weapons. However, thanks to the Teen Titans, the city of Manhattan had been…
It's starting to look like Teen Titans is finding its footing after rebirth, and begin to show signs of improvement. This is an early assumption, but this month's issue was a decent outing. Titled One Brief, Shining Moment, I can say that's just what I was hoping for--and frankly, that's exactly what I got. The creative team on…
Batman/Superman #19 opens with a brief history of the capitol city of Kandor on the now eradicated planet of Krypton. The narration is provided by the book's current villain who has been making Superman's life a living hell. The quick history lesson serves well in the intro to forebode the dire situation that awaits our heroes. Greg…
We've finally reached the conclusion of the Amazo Virus arc and let's just say that it was AMAZING! Honestly, I feel like I've offered a bit too much praise in some of these reviews, but I thoroughly enjoyed this story and this was a fitting end to this arc. Johns and Fabok really found their groove…
Batman and Robin has been one of my favorite titles in DC's stable. Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason have proved through multiple arcs that they're a formidable team mirroring the duo that they create for each issue. With that being said, I was a bit sad when I learned of Tomasi's upcoming departure and the…
I was curious to see how things would play out now that Robin has returned from an early grave, with new powers to boot. I can confidently say that I was pleasantly surprised. I was about as eager to read this issue as Damian was to go out on patrol. The Dynamic Duo are back…
Will Pfeifer and Scott Hepburn bring us another issue of Teen Titans with a brand new member added to the roster. Power Girl! Not the buxom beauty that we're accustomed to, but a fresh face teen who's been bestowed with the powers of the Earth 2 heroine. Issue #6 delivers some quick action early. Picking up right…
Chapter three: The Secret is January's issue of The Amazo Virus arc in the Justice League title. After a failed assassination attempt on Lex Luthor, an abandoned experiment of his has been released into the world. This issue starts off with a screen call from Colonel Trevor to the U.S. President explaining the dire situation…
Right out the gate, I will say that I loved everything about this issue (sans the number of ads). If this is the type of storytelling and understanding of the dynamic between the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel that I have to look forward to in the upcoming Batman vs Superman film, then…
