7 on Justice League #8 reviewThe Secret Origin of the Legion of Doom continues! How did Lex come to be in Legion with the Batman Who Laughs? And how does the Joker feel about it? Is all really well in the Legion's halls? Find out in Justice League #8. It's interesting, but is it essential? I'm not asking that question sarcastically,…
Aquaman #40 is the final chapter of Sink Atlantis, a crossover with Suicide Squad. Now, endings are never easy, because as a writer it is hard to satisfy everyone with a story’s outcome. In the case of Sink Atlantis, the story so far hasn’t been very complicated. There have been no deep, intriguing subplots or…
I mentioned in my previous review for Injustice 2 that the series is slowing down as it approaches the end, almost inevitably so. Tom Taylor is in the unenviable position of having to put the toys back in the toy box, after being given free reign to have an absolute blast for a few years. …
Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo have famously teamed up before for the much-lauded Joker special in 2009, and more recently on the Rorschach issue of Before Watchman (2012). And I doubt anybody who knows and loves Bermejo’s work is waiting for my review to decide whether to buy this big black baby. Azzarello on the…
I don’t want to get too excited about the developments in this book, but with “Beast of Burden” (Part 1), we definitely have an opportunity for Tom King to pull a true game-changer--as opposed to that wedding silliness from which many of us are still reeling (in the not-good way). Your non-spoiler blurb: GET THIS…
How was your Batman Day? Mine was pretty incredible! I hit up my local comic shop (shout out to Ground Zero in Tyler, TX), grabbed a few Bat books, chatted with some local comic fans, discussed the current direction of the industry, and before I’d known it, two hours had passed! Anyway, I was happy…
Welcome back to Sink Atlantis, a four part crossover event running through Aquaman and Suicide Squad. This is part 3, which means that this issue’s main objective is to set up the finale. Does the creative team manage to pull this off, or does it result in a rocky ride toward the end? Let’s have…
The first few pages of Titans #25 had me feeling a little deflated. I rolled my eyes when I saw yet another mindless leviathan on the first page, and felt that pages were being wasted when the whole team reiterated their latest Source Wall theories a few times, checked in and took their instructions via…
This week, we take a deeper look into the Creel family as Selina goes head-to-head with them for the first time! So far, I’ve been happy with Joelle Jones’ Catwoman. Three issues in, and we’re finally starting to see the story shape up. The narrative is a bit of a slow burn and as I…
Jason Todd's friends are gone! Bizarro's heroic sacrifice has stranded he and Artemis in some bizarre reality—and left Red Hood all alone. Without his team to steer him back towards the side of the Bat-angels, Jason is returning to his former ways, and evil better not get in his way. (Some of) you asked for…
James Robinson knows what he wants from Batman and he commits to it from the opening page. Though he touches on Batman’s ongoing girlfriend trauma, he doesn’t dwell (and neither does Batman). Because this is Gotham and someone is being murdered somewhere and the city needs it Knight. In this first installment of "Deface the…
In a surprising turn of events, Nightwing scribe Ben Percy revealed via his Twitter account that Nightwing #50 will be his final issue on the title. It's no secret that I haven't enjoyed Percy's run on the book, but I'd be lying if I didn't confess to being shocked to learn of the news. For weeks now, DC has…
Or perhaps "Riddles" would have been a more appropriate title, as that's what this story consists of: a series of riddles where the Titans try to one-up each other. Not a bad concept by any means, and there are a few nice moments here and there, but overall this is a pretty average installment of…
I finally read last week’s DC Nation, and, yet again, I’m quite disappointed with some of the content. I feel like I’m beating a dead horse when I say this, but if you couldn’t tell, the vision Didio had when creating the New 52/ DCYou is back in full effect. I really want to rant…
Welcome back to the Harley Quinn show; it’s the conclusion to the two part arc, Clown For Hire, and boy oh boy, it’s a wild one. I mean this in both a positive and negative way at the same time, so if you want to know my stance on this, let’s have a look, shall…
Make no mistake: despite the lower score, Adventures of the Super Sons is not a bad comic. It feels weird when I don't connect with this title, as at its heart this book is simply about the joy of comics storytelling. So this latest issue is not bad by any means, as it's competently crafted…
This week, Nightwing travels to the Isle of Harm to compete in a deadly motorcycle race… Because… Well, there are reasons, but they’re so forced that it’s laughable. The first thing that I thought while reading this story is, “Why are we even here? And how did we get here?” While the first question is…
As we reach the conclusion of the "Deathstroke vs. Batman" arc, we come to find that this whole story was: Really, the correct answer is "it's over," with hardly anything to speak for it. This is a prime example of the "idiot plot," where the conflict could have easily been resolved had the characters just…
As we approach the finale of the Injustice 2 comic, storylines need to be wrapped up and pieces need to be put into place to lead into the narrative of the video game. That's becoming ever more clear with issue 33 here, as the big action setpieces of the previous few installments make way for…
Haven’t had enough Quilts or Condiments? Tom King’s begs the question of “The Better Man” in this one-shot that plays hard on nostalgia, is two-thirds tongue-in-cheek, and yet still serving up a big ol’ heaping help of Batman’s self-pitying drama-rama. It works, though, for the most part, if you can just push to the back…
