13 on Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy #4 reviewI’m beginning to run out of things to say about this book. My disappointment over what this story could have been has worn off, for the most part; after all, there’s nothing inherently wrong with a by-the-books story about two “friends” on a road trip. Honestly, you could argue it’s something the characters needed after…
Ah, dang it. I’ll cut right to the chase: I wasn’t a fan of this issue. It’s disappointing, because every other issue of this anthology series has been solid so far; I’ve had my complaints, sure, but the concept of the series has been fun and the delivery has ranged from good to great. In…
If anything is clear after reading Batman & the Outsiders #8, it’s that DC editorial definitely got in Bryan Hill’s way when the series launched. This book is becoming quite a phenomenal read! If you’re not checking it out monthly – or planning to read the trade when it’s released – then you’re missing out.…
It’s the year 2019. With the rise of the internet and the publicity that it allows, it’s easier than ever for us to fight – and easier than ever to be manipulated. In a world where the public doesn’t trust journalists, journalists don’t trust their employers, and the rich control the technology we use every…
Gotham is in mourning. One of its noblest defenders has fallen on the field of battle, and things will never be the same for Batman or his city. So what's the Dark Knight going to do about it? Find out in Batman: Curse of the White Knight #5. SPOILERS AHEAD Shock and awe Sean Murphy couldn't have plotted…
In a lot of team books the initial gathering of the lead characters tends to be the most exciting part as we get to see personalities clash and stakes get established. Gotham City Monsters #4 frees itself from that trend as the series has more fun once it’s settled into its groove and lets our…
Harley Quinn is here to host the annual villain awards, a spectacular event featuring all of your favorite-- and maybe not so favorite-- villains from across DC comics! This one is by and for the fans, featuring winners you all voted for, so let’s see who comes out on top shall we? I’m going to…
Detective Comics #1017 has quite a few things going for it that, by themselves, would make this issue worth recommending. It's a smaller-scale, more personally-focused story, which is always welcome. It has Bruce Wayne working to resolve a real-world problem in his civilian and superhero identities, which, again, is always welcome. And it's a one-and-done,…
We’ve got a slew of releases hitting shelves tomorrow, so let’s not waste any time! Alright, on to business. This week’s releases are listed according to our anticipation scale, with titles listed in alphabetical order within each sub-header. For each title, I’ll include the official solicitation, the talent credits, a random comment (or rant), and…
The holidays are upon us, and we all know what that means… A holiday special! DC is keeping with their “Year of the Villain” trend by spotlighting villains for this year’s special. Now, if you’re like me, then you may have been a little turned off by this. I want to have positive, happy thoughts…
In the second to last issue of Tom King’s Batman run, King decides to forgo plot progression for the sake of highlighting Thomas Wayne. Do we need this context? Yes. Do we get the answers we’ve been waiting for? Mmm… Kind of? Do the revelations in this issue justify everything Thomas Wayne has done leading…
In the pages of the Batman/Superman ongoing the titular protagonists are up against The Batman Who Laughs, who has infected several heroes. To go along with the current Batman/Superman arc, DC is publishing one-shots to explore what each infected hero is going through. The third of these one-shots is The Infected: Deathbringer #1. The main…
After a number of adventures through various different Earths, the Young Justice team is finally home! But just what have they fallen into exactly, and how does Naomi fit into it all? The answers aren’t simple, but with this team, little ever is. The narrative in this issue is told mostly through Naomi’s point of…
After a rough Thanksgiving spent with her family, Harley decides to spend her favorite holiday on her own, celebrating it in the biggest and best way she can: taking a trip to Christmas Hamlet, the premier Christmas getaway spot! But as she saw last month, the holidays are different when you’ve lost someone. With grief…
Batman: Universe began as one of the best Batman comics of the year: a no-holds-barred, rip-roaring adventure serial that approached its conflicts with a wink and a smile. Rather than painting Batman as a gruff, dour creature of the night, Brian Michael Bendis and Nick Derington gave us a Batman who was more adventurer than…
Luthor prepares to deliver the killing blow! Who can stop the impending doom? Who, I ask? Find out, in Justice League #37! Eh? In my review for Justice League #36, I noted that, while the plot advanced very little, I still enjoyed the story. There was emotional advancement, and it sustained my interest. Not much…
We are officially in the thick of the holiday season, and if you work in sales or retail, you're probably - desperately - looking for a way to slip a "Help me!" or "Save me!" note to random people... That, or you're just trying to find time to sneak into the bathroom so you can…
The Riddler is one of the most easily identifiable members of Batman's rogues gallery. Ask anyone to name three or four Bat villains and dear old Edward Nygma (or Nashton) is bound to come up more often than not. He's also one of the most notoriously difficult characters to write, as many acclaimed creators have…
Ohohoho. Ohohohohohoho. You wanna talk about Crisis events, DC? Sure, we can talk about Crisis events. BRING OUT THE CHARTS. I love talking about Crisis events. They’re so confusing and they bring up five hundred questions that will never be answered unless you’re someone with too much time on their hands (hello!). Seeing as…
I honestly think Neal Adams has created the perfect comic book. Oh, you think I’m joking? You think I’m trying to trick you into reading this so I can have some company in the psych ward? Not so. This book is – not exaggerating – my favourite of all the books I’ve had to…
