14 on Justice League #12 reviewAn earlier version of this review mixed up artists Frazer Irving and Bruno Redondo. We regret the error, and it has been corrected. Aquaman has been spearedtridented by Poseidon! Why would the decrepit old sea god do such a thing? Not cool, bro! See if Wonder Woman beats the bags out from under his eyes,…
This second installment of Tom King’s “The Tyrant Wing” may be one of those issues that can be better appreciated from the distance of seeing how all of this will ultimately play out. As a single floppy, though, it’s likely to spark some controversy. Given King’s preoccupation with attempting to subvert the readers’ expectations, however,…
Thanksgiving is this Thursday here in the states, and I plan on spending it with my family. Naturally, I fully intend to eat way too much – turkey, stuffing, and pie, oh my! Then, in true American fashion, after spending a day being grateful, a percent of the country will then flood retailers and malls…
With the upcoming #50 as this title’s final issue, it looks like #48 is the start of the series’ last arc. While I’ve been rather critical of the series so far, there have also been some good issues, so I’m hoping that Williams can manage to close out his run on a high note. So,…
March 2019 will mark two massive milestones for Batman: The 80th anniversary of the character and the Detective Comics #1000. “The enduring popularity of Batman over the past 80 years speaks to the character’s multi-generational appeal,” said DC Publishers Jim Lee and Dan DiDio. “We’re proud to celebrate Batman’s cultural impact with these special releases…
In Titans #28, Dan Abnett delivered a script packed with character progression, logical plotting, plausible decisions, mischievous humour, and an uplifting message about persevering in the face of adversity. In Titans #29, he’s thrown all of this out the Boom Room window. If you were enjoying the long festival of misery that was Titans then you…
In this month’s Catwoman, Selina squares off against orderlies while Mrs. Creel deals with her husband… And that’s about it… If you’ve frequented the site over the years, then you’ve probably noticed that I tend to question when an artist transitions from illustrating comics to writing comics. This isn’t to say that an artist is…
Jason Todd is still in a small town! Doing things! And pie! Spoilers, people. Not for me If you're one of the regulars here, you know that I love this book. Scott Lobdell and his band of talented co-creators won me over at the start of Rebirth, and through all sorts of creative and other changes,…
James Robinson does like to let his characters talk. Last issue they talked non-stop through the whole book. This issue, called “A Fighting Man”, does a little less talking, but maybe still not enough fighting; we just can’t seem to get away from long ongoing explanations in this story. Here especially you’ll get to read…
I’ve had no internet all day today because some drunk dude decided to take out power lines near my house early this morning… So, here you are! 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…
Sometimes Teen Titans Go! has a plot, a recognizable story with a beginning, middle, and end. Sometimes Teen Titans Go! has an idea and riffs on that one joke for twenty pages. This installment is without question in the latter category, and that is perfectly fine. This series, the comic and the cartoon, is all…
DC is back at it with a single floppy featuring two stories! Last time they did this, we received an incredible story featuring Deadshot, and a horrible story featuring Katana in Suicide Squad: Most Wanted… This time around we’re getting a potentially questionable follow-up to Katana’s story, and a whole new adventure with a squad…
When DC first announced their new Black Label imprint, it looked to be a line where creators could tell the stories they wanted to tell without having to adhere to main comics continuity. While that’s still certainly true, the Black Label branding will also be utilized to reprint several of DC’s most beloved and acclaimed comics.…
This might be the best issue of “Ric Grayson’s run” of Nightwing, but it’s barely above average so I’m not certain that really says much. As I’ve stated in the past, the idea of a cab driver working the night shift to allow the opportunity to operate as a vigilante is an interesting concept. It…
Earth is drowning! The Totality was safe, and the Legion of Doom seemingly at bay, but peace was not to be. With Aquaman and Wonder Woman attempting to escape the Blood Reef and the citizens of the world turning into fish-slaves of the Triumvirate, things look grim for the League. But will they get worse…
In a finite, limited series, there are some issues that stand on their own just as well as they propel the story forward. While being familiar with what has come before makes them a more rewarding experience, a new reader will still find plenty to enjoy if they come in cold. While they're part of…
Here we are with the latest issue of Harley Quinn. It’s the start of a new arc called “Minor Disasters,” and it looks like this should be fairly new-reader friendly. This issue features a few supporting cast members that were introduced earlier in Sam Humphries’s run, such as Petite Tina, but other than that, the…
Sean Gordon Murphy’s ambitious Batman: White Knight was one of comics’ runaway hits from the past year. The series was decidedly and recognizably Batman, with plenty of nods to the character’s popularity across countless mediums, yet with a fresh take on the Dark Knight and his rogues gallery. It succeeded at trying something new with…
We see just about a little of everything in this one: Arkham Asylum, Wayne Manor, the Batcave, the rooftop where Batman and Gordon have their little tet-a-tets, the at-long-last reveal of the Big Bad we’ve been anticipating forever by now, and rolled into all of that, plenty of action, pathos, and nice character moments. Once…
I know I say this often, but where has the year gone? It feels like a month ago I was in San Diego with Andrew and Jay, but it’s really been over three months! Thanksgiving is in less than twenty days! Christmas and Hanukah will be here before we know it… And I haven’t even…
