7 on Upcoming Comics: March 25, 2020With most of the globe on lockdown, and with Diamond announcing they’ll suspend new shipments, it’s left us wondering, “What are we going to do?” Well, the first thing I recommend is to support your local comic shop if you’re able to. They need it! Since they won’t be receiving any newness, go buy some…
UPDATE: The official statement from Diamond has been added to the post. In an unprecedented move in the comics industry, Diamond Comics is shutting down to incoming shipments of products. Diamond Comic Distributors has informed printers that it will no longer be accepting shipments until further notice. The move comes in response to the coronavirus…
The calendar is about to turn over to a new month, and that means it's time to see what DC Universe has in store for us. The offerings to both watch and read are looking pretty good this month. What is coming to DC Universe in April? Check out all of the additions below! New…
It’s been a long journey to the point Hell Arisen #4 brings us to. With several miniseries, tie-in issues and crossovers galore, the main storyline of the DC Universe has been wrapped up in these machinations for a while now. With the weight of the world on its shoulders, it’s no surprise Hell Arisen #4…
Aha! You thought it was Josh reviewing this book, but it was me, Nick! I’ve been given the opportunity to review Batman’s biggest comic, and I have instantly let the power go to my head. Look forward to extensive plugs for my twitter, random non-sequiturs about how great The Last Jedi is, and- Okay, no.…
I wonder, how many of you guys play tabletop games? Dungeons and Dragons is, of course, the most popular of the bunch, though I’m also partial to Vampire: The Masquerade – if you can find a time to do it, they provide a fun mental exercise that puts you and a group of friends through…
For those of you who were looking forward to Free Comic Book Day, it has been delayed for the time being. As the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread across the world, events are being postponed and canceled with growing frequency. On Wednesday of this week, it was announced that Free Comic Book Day would morph…
I am not doing great. Last year, I had little going on in my life, and it was an endless source of frustration for someone just coming out of high school, and looking for direction. When I got this job, that was the first step to finding a routine I felt was both satisfying and…
The DCeased rollercoaster continues! Where the original DCeased story was cosmic in scope, Unkillables is much more grounded and street-level, featuring a great cast of characters. I really enjoyed the first issue of this 3-part miniseries, so I was looking forward to reading the second chapter. Does it match the first issue in terms of…
Nightwing #70, written by Dan Jurgens with pencils by Ryan Benjamin, clarifies a few muddy plot points from previous issues but without much elegance. Jurgens’ script falls into familiar pitfalls such as an abundance of recap and lack of agency for Dick himself. The stage has been set for Dick to fully reclaim his mantle…
With Elias storming the gates of Heaven, the Teen Titans are desperate to save Djinn and stop him. In order to do that they have to sneak into Purgatory, sending them off on one of the wildest adventures they’ve had so far! I’ve been enjoying this particular arc of Teen Titans quite a bit. The…
Batman: Universe is a book that I’m surprised it’s taken me this long to read. I remember being thrilled to discover that DC would be publishing the 100-page Walmart giants, and that a new serialized story would appear in each of them. But, other priorities won, and I wasn’t able to pick up any giant…
As I’m sure everyone is aware, we’re currently facing a global threat in the form of the Covid-19. For us in America, the past week has been unique and challenging – especially from a business standpoint. I’ve been in countless meetings, calls, and conferences to determine what’s best from a human and business perspective for…
The Batman’s Grave #6 manages to improve and also take a step back all at once. We’re still getting some quality work here, but is it enough to keep you invested through the remainder of the run or will you opt to trade-wait to finish the series? The Story I’ve praised this book ever since…
Joelle Jones brings her Raina Creel saga to its conclusion in the technically competent, but uninspired Catwoman #21 that mostly goes through the motions. Fernando Blanco’s pencils, along with FCO Plascencia’s colors, create stakes in this climactic ending that don’t fully exist in the writing. Unfortunately, the tail end of Jones’ Catwoman is a classic…
I keep hearing from people that work within the industry that DC Comics wants to create “classic” stories that can serve as evergreen trades that people continuously turn to (think Batman: Year One, The Dark Knight Returns, Batman: The Long Halloween, etc). Knowing that, I can’t help but want to hold up issues of Batman…
Last month the Young Justice team geared up (again) to head off to stop Dr. Glory and Star Labs. Meanwhile, Conner and Warlord came face to face with the Green Manaleeshi wielding a sword made of kryptonite. With all the pieces together, will the group make it in time to rescue their friend? If there’s…
I know I’ve said this before, but I’m finding that I’m not overly excited about much of what DC Comics is doing right now. I’m hearing rumbles of good things on the horizon, but those stories are still months away. That being said, yes, I am, in fact, hearing that solid things are on the…
It may be difficult to believe, but Robin has now hit his 80th anniversary. Debuting in Detective Comics #38, Dick Grayson became Batman's colorful sidekick in the April 1940 cover-dated issue. While we have not seen the fanfare surrounding his big anniversary as we did with Batman, it's still a noteworthy date to be celebrated.…
I don’t follow wrestling and I don’t necessarily have a soft spot in my heart for Harley Quinn so color me surprised at how much I enjoyed Harley Quinn #71. Harley’s in Los Angeles now, mixed up in a rigged wrestling match/murder/conspiracy that somehow is connected to a more than likely corrupt property developer. Even…
