8 on Justice League #7 reviewThis is it! The Justice League vs. The Legion of Doom for the fate of the Earth—nay, the Multiverse! Lex Luthor is steps from his destiny, but Hawkgirl might have something else to say about that! Can Jon Stewart move fast enough? Can Barry Allen move slow enough? What's up with Batman's busted arms and…
So, not only am I traveling this week, but I’m traveling and I’m sick… This is the first time I’ve ever been sick and away from home. It’s the worst. I repeat, THE WORST! On a positive note, we have a decent slate of books landing this week, and I’m really excited to get my…
The Silencer Annual #1 is, by far, the best DC book that hit stands this week! You need to go get it! Aside from a few minor missteps, Dan Abnett has had an incredible run on The Silencer! What was probably viewed by many as the least compelling book of The New Age of Heroes imprint prior to its…
Have I mentioned how much I dislike Ben Percy’s Nightwing? Have I mentioned how annoyed I am with his heavy-handed, politically-driven scripts, and the fact that nothing Nightwing says under Percy’s pen feels true to the character? Great! Because I’m about to say it again! If you’ve been reading Nightwing since Percy took over, I’m…
Red Hood and Arsenal are back together again. The once fellow Outlaws lost touch for a while, but when an emotionally and physically beaten Jason Todd needed him, Roy Harper was there. So what are they up to? And what happened to Jay-bird’s new buddies, Artemis and Bizarro? Find out in Red Hood and the…
When DC first decided to do DC Comics/ Looney Tunes crossovers in this format, I originally thought, "God, this is a terrible idea." And then I was forced to eat crow once the issues were published because we were treated to some nice fun stories. On top of it, Tom King and Lee Weeks delivered Batman/ Elmer…
Mairghread Scott has come out swinging for the backfield with her work on Batgirl in the last couple of weeks. With a sensational start in two stories featured in the Batgirl no. 25 Anniversary Special, and now both a killer issue no. 26 and this stellar (pun intended) Annual titled “The Brightest Star in Heaven”.…
I am calling this review “10 Things I Love about this Batgirl Comic”. The story is “Art of Crime” and it’s the continuation of Batgirl’s pursuit of Grotesque, which began two weeks ago in the Anniversary issue compilation (no. 25). The premise is simple but effective: high-roller theatrical art thief Grotesque has escalated his game…
Well, I’m traveling again this week for work and it was a last minute decision, so I’m posting this later than intended. BUT! I now have roughly 24 hours to myself, so that’ll result in quite a bit of time for comics! Alright, on to business! This week’s releases are listed according to our anticipation…
If you've even dabbled in collecting Batman-related merchandise, then you probably know Kotobukiya. They've produced memorable statues for all sorts of DC characters, but their Batman ARTFX statue—across several versions—is considered one of the best statues of the Dark Knight that there is. As if having one outstanding Batman wasn't enough, a year or two…
Over the past few months, I’ve commented on The Silencer’s slow decline in quality – especially as far as the script is concerned. The book has been far from bad, but I feared the trend would continue until the title fell from good, to average, to bad. Well, this month, that is definitely not the…
Last month, the debut of Justice League Dark blew me away and I'm pleased to report that the second issue is just as good! By the end of issue #1, the whole team had come together to fight a cavalcade of grotesque monsters. James Tynion IV wastes no time in splitting the new League up again (with…
Damian continues his warpath against the villains of the DC Universe, and this week, he brings the Teen Titans toe-to-toe with Gizmo! Adam Glass’ run on Teen Titans has been a bit of a mixed bag so far, but mostly, it’s been good. The “mixed bag” stems from a range of tones presented, as well…
While Task Force X is preoccupied with their mission in Atlantis (see the current Sink Atlantis crossover with Aquaman), this annual takes a look at everything that goes wrong at Belle Reve while the Squad is away. Not only does this story’s cast consist of various obscure characters, it also incorporates elements of body horror, slasher…
With Batman: Kings of Fear, Scott Peterson and Kelley Jones set out to investigate the deeper machinations of Batman’s psyche. As a fan of introspective and psychedelic stories, and seeing as this six issue miniseries isn’t bound by continuity, I’ve been very curious about this series since its announcement. Now that I’ve read the first…
Batman Beyond #22 opened with Batman fighting a mob of Gotham citizens and ended with him still fighting the same mob. This was (partly) because the issue’s main focus was to provide a back story for Adalyn Stern. Issue #23 is equally slow-moving but this time writer Dan Jurgens has no excuse. Terry McGinnis is…
This issue marks the finale of the “On the Outside” arc, which is going to feel pretty strange, I think, because it also serves as the launch point for the next thing coming. That’s not atypical of comic books, but maybe I’m just not feeling like Bryan Hill brought out a very satisfying conclusion to…
This is an interesting week of releases. For whatever reason, DC is bumping its trend of releasing Annuals on the 5th Wednesday, and they’re dropping some this week. One in particular – Suicide Squad – has me quite excited because it’s substituting the core team for some fresh meat… and it features Swamp Thing! That’s…
Harley Quinn #48 kicks off a new two-parter titled, Clown for hire, and it’s a wild ride. Not only because Harley is Harleying around, but also because I’m just not entirely sure what to make of this comic. There are elements that I enjoy, there are a couple jokes that had me laugh out loud,…
This is a very nice comic. It's light, frothy fun without any sort of agenda other than wanting to be light, frothy fun. I mean this not as a slight, but as a compliment. After all, Archie and Batman '66 are all about evoking a specific time and place, so why mess with a proven…
