1 on Batman: Creature of the Night #4 reviewBefore proceeding any further, you should head over to Newsarama and read their interview with John Paul Leon. It sheds light on this book's long delays. It's finally here. After a long delay, and then one much longer delay, Batman: Creature of the Night comes to a close with its fourth issue. But should we care?…
The new Batwoman takes center stage in Batman Beyond #38 as she tears across Gotham leaving Bruce and Matt McGinnis playing catch up. While the issue finally brings together some plot threads, writer Dan Jurgens finds himself wrapped up in a repetitive plot structure with readers being one step ahead of our lead characters once…
Last month Batgirl and Oracle finally came face to face as Burnside burned all around them. In order to survive, Babs did the one thing Oracle never would have expected of her: she ran. In fact, she threw herself off a building into the river surrounding Burnside. What will happen now that Oracle has defeated…
After surviving their first field trip and picking up a new team member, Jason Todd and his students are ready to head home. Unfortunately, there’s trouble there. Dr. Shay Veritas and The Block are under attack by some unknown force. It’s up to Jason and his team to figure out just what it is! The…
So here's how great of a writer Peter Tomasi is: the conclusion to the "Cold Dark World" arc is generally fine. It wraps things up fairly well, I suppose, though it definitely doesn't finish as strong as it started. Even still, despite a somewhat odd pace and some twists that could have been disastrous in…
Welcome back to The Harley Report, an ongoing conversation between me and Harley Quinn writer Sam Humphries. For our first official installment, we talk about Harley Quinn #67 and how there aren't that many Thanksgiving comics. Plus, I compare legendary artists Dan Jurgens and Norm Rapmund to a Thanksgiving feast, and we talk a lot…
This weekend, Donny Cates called a guy out on Twitter for openly admitting he pirates comic books. Aaaannnndddd things pretty much spiraled from there in the comic-twitter verse. I jumped in on a few conversations as well, and figured I’d bring my opinions here. Simply put, pirating is theft. Don’t steal. If your excuse is…
This review is late, but it’s late on purpose. If I had posted this yesterday when I sat down to finish this review, I would’ve been saying “$%@# you, Tom King!” repeatedly! So, prepare yourself, because while I’ve let some time and rest provide a little separation from my initial anger, I’m still freaking pissed.…
For what it’s worth we are now full steam ahead in the Ric Grayson saga. The endgame is within sight, the issues are no longer plagued with excessive recaps, and the stakes are at their highest. This doesn’t mean Nightwing #66 is a successful book. In fact, after a momentarily interesting annual last month, the…
Whenever you integrate real life events into comic history there’s always a lot of baggage that comes along with it. There’s the option to create a fake country or event as a stand-in for real life events to distance the real world from the fantastic. One exception to that option is perhaps the horrors Nazi…
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 second of these one-shots is The Infected: Scarab #1. The main…
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. Although not a separate one-shot like the others, Supergirl #36 does tie…
Issues #1-3 of this series weren’t exactly my cup of tea, but nevertheless I got some entertainment out of them. Issue #4, on the other hand, is hard to read for me. Not only do I tend to get bored when I see superheroes fighting each other (an outdated trope that Supergirl in this very…
Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen is art. I do not say that lightly, and I mean it with the utmost sincerity. This is one of the funniest, most tightly-scripted comic books on the stands. Other than Chip Zdarsky's Daredevil-- which is just as great for completely different reasons-- this might be my favorite title being published…
Last month Roundhouse explained why he betrayed the team, and in a moment of rashness trapped Djinn in her own ring, putting the team down not one but two members. Now Lobo is back, and ready to complete the contract he took on the team, by using Crush to do it. Can the remaining Teen…
Lex Luthor and his adopted mommy are on the war path! The heroes await their destruction, but not without one last attempt at winning the day. See it all go down in Justice League #36. Another slice Justice League #36 is typical of this series lately, in that its impact feels incremental. I enjoy it…
We're just a few hours away from this week's releases, so I'm not going to waste any time! 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…
So, I’m three issues into this series, written by Jodie Houser and illustrated by Adriana Melo – and it’s now the longest-running series I’ve reviewed so far! Three issues may not seem like much (because it isn’t), but to me it’s been a big learning experience in how to handle longer stories, rather than…
You know, when I was given the chance to review these Tales from the Dark Multiverse stories, I was ecstatic at the opportunity to handle “What If?” tales from some of my favourite properties. Knightfall, The Death of Superman, Blackest Night, Infinite Crisis and The Judas Contract – all iconic tales worthy of darker…
I know I’ve said this before… but this is the best issue of Hill’s Batman & the Outsiders to date! The Story There’s no doubt that Batman & the Outsiders didn’t have the best start. The book’s debut was delayed a few months as Brian Hill and Dexter Soy were forced to incorporate the Year…
