God, these issues go by fast! I picked up this comic, ready to dive in and review its pros and cons, tackle the nuances of the book that might go unnoticed on first viewing… and the book was already over. You might attribute this to the book being really good, and an easy read that…
I’m not going to beat around the bush… Batman #90 isn’t a great issue. The book is terribly overwritten, and takes twenty pages to accomplish what should’ve only taken ten pages or less. Yes, it really is that padded. The Story This chapter of Batman kicks off with Selina finally revealing to Bruce what the…
DC Comics has announced that it will not be attending any conventions for the month of March, starting with Emerald City Comic Con. The United States has seen an increase in COVID-19 virus cases over the past 10 days. The region with the highest number of cases has been Washington state with nine deaths reported…
Shea Fontana has an impressive track record with DC! She has been a significant driving force behind DC Superhero Girls, a line that has branched out into one of DC's most successful multimedia ventures. Additionally, she recently wrote the book DC Women of Action, a comprehensive guide to many of the women in DC's world, as…
We’ve got a light week ahead of us, but I think the real spotlight will be on Strange Adventures by Tom King, Mitch Gerads, and Doc Shaner. I know I’m excited, but I’m hoping this is more along the lines of Mister Miracle or Sheriff of Babylon and not Heroes in Crisis. Alright, on to…
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. As changes go for a month, there isn't going to be much new content to watch, but there will be quite a bit to read. What is coming to…
When was the last time I had a super bitchy review about how terrible something was? It feels like it’s been a while. I know it hasn’t been, but I think I grew accustomed to lambasting books bi-weekly thanks to Tom King’s Batman that going more than a month without doing so feels weird. I…
If there’s one thing that’s certain, it’s that Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo know how to deliver an entertaining and engaging story! The Story Suicide Squad delivers its third issue, and man is this book an absolute blast! If you ever need a “How To” for writing ensemble teams, you should look here. Suicide Squad…
Bruce Wayne is not who he thought he was! The revelations were shocking in last month's Curse of the White Knight, and Gotham's Guardian will never be the same. But can he fight past the painful truth and save his city one last time? Find out in Batman: Curse of the White Knight #7! Feelings and fan…
Except for #1, I haven’t liked a single issue of Batman/Superman so far. In large part, that’s because of the quality of the writing. I find myself having a lot of the same complaints, and rather than seeing improvement, in my opinion things have just been going downhill. This issue, #7, which thankfully moves away…
I think that Tomasi has demonstrated before that he’s capable of writing a good Two-Face story. This arc is in fact a continuation of “The Big Burn,” which is a Two-Face story that Tomasi told in the pages of Batman and Robin with artist Patrick Gleason. That doesn’t mean, however, that in order to understand…
The Outlaws are back together, the super-villain school is in the hands of Ma Gunn, and Jason and Artemis have at least talked about the kiss they shared. All this leaves the Outlaws freed up for some adventure, and what better way to get that started than with zombies, swords, and magic? If you’ve been…
Last month Barbara and Bard found themselves pulled into the world of Unearth. There they were pitted against an unbeatable dragon and told to save the day, all while dealing with feelings of unrequited love and confusion. So, will they beat the dragon? And more importantly what will Babs decide regarding Jason? The story picks…
Batman Beyond #41 is the best issue of Dan Jurgens’ amnesiac Terry plotline that began back with the False Face arc. Sean Chen’s pencils, with inks by Sean Parsons, up their game as the arc nears its conclusion, with Jurgens’ script ramping up the stakes to their breaking point. With the entire cast slowly making…
Leviathan Dawn’s mission is clear. It wants to bridge the gap between Event Leviathan and the upcoming Event Leviathan: Checkmate as it sifts through the fallout and sets things into motion so the series proper can hit the ground running. In that sense, Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev succeed with a tight script and great…
In case you missed the news, Dan DiDio is no longer Co-Publisher at DC Comics. While there’s no official word, all signs point to him being let go rather than leaving of his own will. Rumor is that the decision was made due to DC Comics losing quite a bit of talent who cited DiDio…
DC's Dan DiDio is out as co-publisher, a role he has held since 2010. No details have been provided yet as to why he is leaving or if he quit or was perhaps pressured to leave. Throughout his tenure, DiDio wrote for titles like Superboy, The Phantom Stranger, The Outsiders, Sideways, and Metal Men. He…
Okay, so I think I understand what Venditti is going for in this Justice League run. In this comic’s first 39 issues & change, Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV crafted an incredibly detailed mythos involving characters from within the DC Multiverse and beyond; as a result, many of the threats the League faced were…
The original DCeased miniseries is a wild ride through a zombie-infested DC universe, and it’s a series that I really enjoyed reviewing. So when DC announced Unkillables, I was looking forward to reviewing this one as well. Unkillables is written by Tom Taylor once again, and the artwork is brought to us by Karl Mostert.…
Joker: Killer Smile #1 and #2 are fantastic. Those issues are creepy, claustrophobic, play with expectations and constantly make me question what is real and what is delusion. On top of that, the art in the first two issues is phenomenal. Now we have arrived at the third and final issue of this miniseries. Issue…
