35 on Batman #56 reviewAfter the somewhat shocking events of Batman no. 55, I have a lot of questions and I’m sure you all do as well. But Tom King doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to provide answers, instead bringing us along on Batman’s actions in the aftermath of losing Nightwing. And Batman appears to be going…
Thursday is my birthday, and I’ll be turning 30! I’m looking forward to it, but I don’t feel 30… Anyway, there are plenty of comics that I desire should I anyone feel like buying me a birthday gift (kidding… kind of). Alright, on to business! This week’s releases are listed according to our anticipation scale,…
Justice League from Scott Snyder, Jorge Jimenez, and Jim Cheung has been one of DC’s most consistently enjoyable titles since it launched a few months back. With snappy dialogue, great characterization, and some of the best looking art in the business, Justice League should be near the top of your stack every two weeks if…
Kings of Fear #2 picks up where the first issue left off. Right from page one we’re privy to Batman’s psychedelic experience on Scarecrow’s fear gas. During this experience, some of Batman’s anxieties, insecurities and nightmares are exposed to us, and I’m seeing a lot of potential for an in-depth exploration of Batman’s mind. But…
The Silencer #9 is one, big, action romp unlike anything you’ve seen in this title to date, so you better take cover! I’m going to be honest, following the events of The Silencer #8, this is not the direction – overall – that I expected this chapter to take. With Wishbone body swapping Silencer and…
‘I’m afraid this is only the beginning’ -Zatanna, Justice League Dark #3 With horrors like the Upside-Down Man and the Otherkind invading, I can understand why the heroes of the Justice League Dark may be feeling apprehensive. However, for those of us living here on Earth Prime (Earth-33 in the orrery of worlds), where the…
This week in Titans, Dick and Donna get new coats! Also, the team are on the trail of the Blood Cult, who have nefarious plans for the Source Wall energy. Given that the Boom Room can travel anywhere, I wondered in my review for issue #25 whether the team would ever travel outside the United…
We all have blind spots. Either willfully or inadvertently, there are things that we tend to turn away from, or things to which we don't pay any mind. The characters in Doomsday Clock are not immune to this, for they have blind spots too. Rorschach was unaware that his parents didn't die in each others'…
I’ve been eager to read Justice League Odyssey since DC announced it. I didn’t want to wait three months before its release, and I especially didn’t want to wait the additional two months that were tacked on so the creative team could retool their story. But considering how strong Justice League and Justice League Dark are,…
We’ve lost one of the greats. It’s been reported that Norm Breyfogle passed away this past Monday. Breyfogle was an industry legend through and through, making up-- along with Alan Grant-- one half of one of the best Batman creative teams of all time. His work was moody and mysterious while still having an undeniable…
It's the final issue of the 'Target: Batman' arc so it's time for Terry to finally deal with the mob, Robin, and the new Scarecrow controlling them. But he doesn't. Spoilers ahead. Superhero stories are almost invariably driven by the actions of the villain so it’s important to have a good one. I like that Neo…
Heroes in Crisis is finally here, and with its arrival, DC effectively kills the heart of what made Rebirth a success. For months, we’ve been teased by Heroes in Crisis. Originally titled Sanctuary, I would say that most of us were looking forward to the book. Tom King was reaching a high with Batman,…
Looking at that cover, you'd be tempted to think that this issue of Archie Meets Batman '66 would contain some references to "Surf's Up! Joker's Under!", possibly the finest half-hour of television ever broadcast. You would not be wrong to assume that, what with Batman's swim trunks being a direct lift from the episode, and…
Mairghread Scott continues her plan to rebuild Batgirl as far away from the divisive bubble-gum image as she can get without losing Babs’ youth or exuberance (or in the case of this comic, her dogged determination). In many ways she’s still daddy’s little girl, but as far as I’m concerned, hanging out with her father…
James Robinson follows up his solitary man with “An Optimistic Man” in part two of his “Deface the Face” arc. In case anyone is wondering up front, the events of Batman no. 55 do not touch this story--yet. Batman is still trying to figure out who is behind the dual-Firefly mischief. Who could it be?…
Sorry for my delays this past week. I was away for a work conference – where two other conferences were being held at the same hotel – and their wifi clearly was not strong enough to support that many people (I could get a signal for about five minutes…). On top of that, on Tuesday,…
Last month, Roundhouse sacrificed himself to save New York City, and that left the Teen Titans down a man. This month, they embark on their first mission without their rotund friend. Will they be driven by their loss or divided? Find out below. The Teen Titans are just getting acquainted with one another, and they've…
In this week’s issue of Nightwing, Dick continues his motorcycle death race to try and save his friends! So, is he successful? Well… That’s a loaded question, but this is probably the most enjoyable issue of Nightwing I’ve read under Percy’s pen, so at least it has that going for it. The best thing I…
When reviewing the movie Dumb and Dumber, Roger Ebert mentioned a moment in the movie that made him laugh so hard he embarrassed himself (spoilers: it's the "pretty bird" scene). He lamented that the movie never made him laugh as hard as that moment, and he didn't laugh many other times besides, but that joke…
All right, here we are, Harley Quinn #50! As it says on the cover, it’s an “extra-sized anniversary issue.” Joining Sam Humphries and John Timms, we have 14 artists and 6 colorists. I have to say that I’m always on the fence when it comes to these kinds of issues where a lot of people…
