21 on Nightwing #51 reviewNightwing #50 tried to change the status quo by giving us Ric Grayson – an edgy, moody dude with amnesia who is a far cry from anything we know Dick Grayson to be. As much as I disliked this idea, I was willing to ride the story out to see what DC had planned. Unfortunately,…
This issue, above all others, has a thankless task. As the final issue of a prequel to a game that has been out for some time, it needs to take all the incredible storytelling that Tom Taylor has accomplished and line everything up with the video game's introduction. While some of that housekeeping has been…
This is a slightly-modified adaption of my review on Comics Now. Scott Snyder’s run on Justice League has been his best work to date. In the pages of this book, he has found a story and a voice that, while flowing naturally out of his prior publications, transcends them. The love he has for these characters—and…
Tom King concludes “Beasts of Burden” with a simple, but satisfying final confrontation between the Dark Knight and the Russian hitman who shot Dick Grayson. Your mileage may vary according to your hopes and expectations, but I loved this. Storywise there’s not much to say without spoiling the whole book. I didn't even include any…
The pilot episode of Titans released on the DC Universe app recently. Have you taken the time to check it out yet? I thought it was… Ok. I’m not invested yet, but I’m also not ready to completely hate it in the way that I hate Gotham. They’ve made Dick Grayson too angry, and I’m…
It’s that time of year! The leaves are turning, temperatures are dropping, and soon, a number of creatures, witches, and demons will be storming our homes… for candy! Mmmmm! Smell that sweet, luscious smell of candy corn! I love this time of year, and I especially love the horror stories that come with it! Swamp…
“The Witching Hour – Part 2” continues in this week’s issue of Wonder Woman, and as expected, James Tynion continues to kill it with this story and roster! I’ve been singing the praises of Justice League Dark since it’s debut, and today will be no different. James Tynion has crafted a story that is engaging,…
What’s interesting about this issue is that it is barely a Suicide Squad story. In fact, it’s a character-focused one-shot about Captain Boomerang, who goes on a solo mission to stop a mysterious villain named the Bunyip. Moreover, this is a comic that’s very new-reader friendly, because it doesn’t reference previous installments of the series.…
One-joke stories rarely work. No matter how funny the idea or punchline may be, it's incredibly difficult to wring a full story out of a single idea. There are times when it does work, though, and a single joke can carry the weight of an entire story. This... is one of those times. What helps…
If you’re looking for a traditional comic book featuring good guys merrily punching bad guys in the face, Titans is often the right place to look. Issue #27, on the other hand, foregoes action in favour of a downbeat story dealing with the recent tragedies that have befallen the team. The events in question have…
You know when you’re watching a television series, and before certain episodes, you’ll get a, “Previously, on ______.” That’s essentially what 90% of Catwoman #4 is. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Jones’ Catwoman run so far. She’s spent a lot of time focusing on Selina as a character, building a foundation of supporting characters, and introducing an…
The Red Hood is on the rampage, but something has come up. Jason's pursuit of the Underlife has taken him into America's heartland, but his past won't let him be. Can he follow the path before him while evading the demons behind? Find out in Red Hood and the Outlaws #27. SPOILERS AHEAD. Seriously, there are spoilers.…
James Robinson’s third offering on this arc introduces “The Conflicted Man”, and it was probably just a matter of time before we got to the “enemy of my enemy is my friend” portion of the program (he even literally uses that expression here). And if you enjoy watching the tango between Batman and Two-Face, you’ll…
NYCC is wrapping up as I write this, and as of this moment, the biggest announcement to come out of the weekend is Brian Michael Bendis’ Wonder Comics line – the in-continuity, teenage-focused, hero line. Most importantly, I’m excited for the Young Justice book that was announced which will feature Robin (Tim Drake), Superboy (Conner…
I struggled with this review. I’m not going to lie. I found myself torn between a lot of aspects of the story, and was also equally torn about what to use as my intro for this review. I came up with the following: “In this week’s issue of Nightwing, Dan Didio finally does what he’s…
It’s October. The nights are drawing in, the wind is whistling in the eaves, the branches of the trees are bare and claw-like, the mist peels aside to reveal a full moon...It’s the perfect time for a bold, disturbing crossover like ‘The Witching Hour’! It’s also good timing for Justice League Dark. Last week, James…
Last month, I lamented two things: that Adventures of the Super Sons was disappointingly short on adventure and... well, the Super Sons. While far from perfect, and with a few additional problems of its own, the third issue of the year-long maxiseries is taking some steps in the right direction. There's plenty of action and…
Howdy folks, welcome to the start of a new arc titled, Triumph. To those who have been curious about the Harley Quinn title and have been looking for a jumping-on point, I’ll say this. Harley Quinn #51 references events and features characters that were very specific to previous issues. In particular the character Jonni DC…
IT'S. TIME. TO. RE. BUILD. THE. MOON. Fending off Darkseid? Sure, seems hard. Warring with the Legion of Doom? A certain challenge. But reconstructing the Earth's moon from floating chunks? That takes a hero. See for yourself in Justice League #9. This is what I was talking about In my review for Justice League #8, I pretty…
This is not just the wedding of the year, it's the wedding of the decade. No, the century. Nay, the millennium. Yes, Killer Croc and Orca, that most unlikely of couples, tie the knot in this issue of Injustice, and it's about as great as you could imagine. The long-awaited nuptials take up the bulk…
