22 on Batman Annual #4 reviewWe all have varying opinions concerning Tom King’s Batman run, but if there is one thing that a majority of us seem to agree on, it’s that his one-shots and Annuals have all been pretty stellar! For me, this issue is no exception. Yes, this story is very different than anything he’s ever done, and…
It’s 1992, and Superman is dead. I covered some of what made 90’s comics so distinguishable in the Dark Multiverse Knightfall one-shot, but maybe I should have saved some of that commentary. The Death of Superman was THE 90’s comic, when a character's mortality was not only still unexpected, but still INCREDIBLY marketable. The Death…
I first discovered Sorrentino on I, Vampire, and I became a fan of his work pretty much right away. I have been following him from project to project ever since. Lemire is one of those creators I have always had mad respect for, seeing as this guy writes a ton of books and even finds…
The first issue of Harleen is excellent, and, frankly, much better than it even needed to be. In my review I praised it for giving us a more down-to-earth and serious version of Harley, instead of the erratic, out-of-control, happy-go-lucky prankster that we see in the main comic series. Usually I end these introductions with…
And so we arrive at DCeased’s conclusion. This has been a fast-paced series, and that pacing has been a strength and a weakness. On the one hand, Taylor can’t afford to waste a single panel and has chosen his story beats wisely, but on the other hand, this is a typical case where clearly the…
Halloween is this week! I’m going to be taking my nieces and nephews out for some good trick-or-treat/ trunk-or-treat fun. I haven’t picked my costume yet, but it will most likely be Batman related. I mean, would you expect anything less? Will any of your – or your kids – be dressing up? If you…
Let me just get this out of the way: Dwayne Johnson has HUGE boots to fill. I’m not some cinema snob who can’t enjoy stuff such as Jumanji – it’s a fun, lighthearted movie, and The Rock brings a level of charm to his performances that’s hard to shake. I like him well-enough as an…
Batgirl has been busy trying to figure out who Lex Luthor made an offer to and attempting to quell the chaos caused by his Year of the Villain. Oracle --now brought to life by Luthor-- has been equally busy, searching for the creator who abandoned her. With Burnside on fire, the two are on track…
Dan Jurgens’ Batman Beyond is in a transitional state after the previous arc has left Terry with amnesia and has introduced a mystery newcomer who’s taking over the Batman mantle. Although the series is nearing forty issues, most of the run has succeeded primarily due to the likable and well defined ensemble cast Jurgens established.…
Since issue #1 I have been having mixed feelings about this series. There are things that I enjoy, and then there are things that I really dislike. This third issue doesn’t do anything to change my overall opinion on the series so far, as it manages to entertain me about as much as it manages…
Things don't look so good for Jim Gordon. Stabbed by Azrael, dropped from a building, and left for dead, his prognosis appears negative by all accounts. Did someone finally wax the top mustache in Gotham? Find out, in Batman: Curse of the White Knight #4. SPOILERS AHEAD. Heart-wrenching Curse #4 is probably the most emotionally resonant Batman comic…
There’s a lot going on in Red Hood right now. Jason and his team of students are on their first field trip and things seem to only to be getting wilder the longer they’re out. In their exploration of a destroyed S.T.A.R. Labs facility they discovered another teen meta and then suddenly found themselves face…
Well, it was bound to happen eventually. Almost a year into this generally fantastic run on Detective Comics, there’s finally an issue that I didn’t love. Given the creative team, there’s still a level of craft that I can’t help but appreciate, and there are individual aspects that I enjoyed. Generally speaking, though, this issue…
We’ve got a solid slate of books this week, and I’m pretty excited for that considering how busy I’ve been lately. Also, I personally don’t have any books to cover this week, so I get to just sit back, relax, and simply enjoy some comics! Alright, on to business. This week’s releases are listed according…
Red Hood Jason Todd has come a long way since 2016. He found a new family, lost that family, fought with his other family, cried about his original family, stole a casino, and found yet another family. He's had quite the time, returning to the brutality that once set him apart from the rest of…
Gotham may be the City of Bane, but Batman’s come to take it back. Tom King’s run on the book is quickly approaching its conclusion, with the final showdown between Batman and Bane at the center of it all. Can Bruce set aside his rage and focus on the situation at hand, or will this…
Last issue ended with Ric freeing Bea from captivity and confronting Talon, Dick Grayson’s great-grandfather, on the rooftop of the Prodigal bar. Issue #65 picks up with Talon still in mid-leap toward Ric, and we’re off to the races… But only if it’s a turtle race. The overall arc is still moving at the pace…
Ah, the 90’s. What a time that was. To the mind of a youngster such as myself, I view the 90’s with rose-tinted glasses. Everything seemed peppy, vibrant, energetic – most everything I saw was probably a knockoff of stuff from the 80’s, but what did it matter? Kids lived and died by Saturday Morning…
Last month, I described Titans: Burning Rage as a “bottom of the barrel” comic book title. Most of this description was due to the generic and juvenile sense the book contained, and the reality that it simply isn’t written well. This issue, however, delivers some solid improvements. While it still isn’t worth jumping out of…
The battle across time comes to a head! It's Justice vs. Doom, with everything on the line, and time's running out! Can the League, the Society, the Kamandos, and the Monitorzord stop Perpetua and her new favorite son? Find out, in Justice League #34! SPOILERS AHEAD. There's a lot going on A few issues ago, I lamented…
