4 on Injustice 2 #32 reviewEmerald warriors fight valiantly against their crimson-hued foes. A hero, often viewed as a joke, embraces a promise made to a fallen friend. Lobo kicks a space kitty. In any other book those disparate elements might not work, but such is not the case with Injustice. Once again this book is a massive entertainment, providing…
After 18 months of haphazard adventures, it’s time for Batwoman’s Rebirth series to end. Unsurprisingly, the finale is not aimed at occasional readers or newcomers; it’s a love letter to readers who have stuck with Kate throughout Marguerite Bennett’s run. It’s tough writing a 20 page issue that ties up both the current story and…
Aquaman #39 is the second chapter of Sink Atlantis, a four part crossover with Suicide Squad. We pretty much pick up where we left off with Suicide Squad #45. The story, for the most part (as far as I can tell what with this only being the second chapter) seems to be well structured and…
There are four stories in this extra-long anniversary issue, and not a dud among them! As deals go, this is a good one, with our new Batgirl writers coming out with the heavy ammunition in not one, but two of the included tales--one of which looks like it will be the kick-off to the ongoing…
Lex Luthor is closer than ever to his goal. With Superman and Martian Manhunter literal puppets of the Legion of Doom, three Leaguers under sea and under siege, and the rest pinned down by Sinestro's ever-growing Ultraviolet Corps, who can stop Luthor's plan to unlock the power of the Totality and remake the universe in…
Tom King’s third installment of “Cold Days” has perhaps left me feeling disappointingly cold myself. In this issue, we will see the culmination of the sequestered jury deliberations as the fate of Victor Fries (and by extension Bruce Wayne himself, it seems) hangs in the balance. SPOILERS will follow, folks. Apologies in advance, but the…
For the next two weeks, I will be in New Mexico doing some training for my new job. Considering I don’t know anyone out here, nor am I adventurous enough to go exploring (aside from restaurants), I’m going to be doing a lot of reading! Lots and lots of reading! Old comics. New comics. Old…
Suicide Squad #45 is the first chapter of Sink Atlantis, a four part crossover with Aquaman. I’ve been reading both titles for a while now, and in my opinion each has its distinct identity. Where Suicide Squad is a team book about super-villains undertaking explosive missions for the U.S. government, Aquaman is a sprawling fantasy…
Joelle Jones continues her run on Catwoman, and while there may be imposters, police, and a corrupt businesswoman on her tail, I’m not quite sure what story she’s trying to tell... Last month, Joelle Jones delivered one hell of a debut. No, there isn’t anything overtly fresh or original to her take on Selina Kyle…
I think it's fair to say that Snyder, Tynion, Abnett and Williamson currently have free reign to introduce whatever crazy concepts they like into their books with the excuse that anything can and will happen with the collapse of the Source Wall. Abnett takes full advantage of the situation in Titans #24 by adding a…
No more Mr. Nice Guy. Jason Todd has been playing by Batman's rules for a while now. Aided by his briefly-intelligent friend Bizarro, and the mighty Amazon Artemis, Red Hood cleaned up a lot of crime in his city, and everything seemed like it was going well. But the good doesn't last in Gotham, and…
Well, this is certainly spiraling out of control. And not in that great way stories can escalate with compounded threats and increasing stakes and high-risk reveals. I literally had to look back on the credits of this issue to see whether Bryan Hill was still writing, because it feels like someone new took this over…
Our friends at Downtown Bookworks are at it again, with another delightful children's book based on DC Comics characters. Following up on the excellent Big Book of Super Heroes, Big Book of Girl Power, and Big Book of Superpowers, they're turning their attention to the bad guys with The Big Book of Super-Villains, coming this fall. They provided Batman News…
At first glance, I was a little leery of this story. Sure, it was written by Sholly Fisch, and you should know by now that I'm a fan of the guy. Still, another story about movies? Returning the Titans to that well yet again? I'm kind of ready for something new. Thankfully, this story is…
The latest issue of DC Nation was released last week, and this time there was far less for me to give side-eye to! In fact, I loved a lot of the content in this issue! We were treated to an inside look into the DC Summit, where the writers and publishers come together to discuss…
This issue wraps up Humphries’ first arc on the title, bringing Harley’s adventures on Apokolips to a close. As some may know, I was somewhat critical of last issue, mostly because of two reasons. First, I dislike the meta jokes (Harley randomly breaks the fourth wall a few times during this arc). Sometimes I love…
Bruce Wayne has been sequestered in the Mr. Freeze triple-murder trial with a jury of his peers (if you believe Batman has peers). The jury is tired, cranky, and dead set on a quick verdict of guilty based on what appears to be overwhelming cur circumstantial evidence: cold bodies, a brutal take down of Victor…
The Super Sons return from a bit of a summer vacation to... uh, go on summer vacation. Yes, the boys are back with a new title and new adventures after their self-titled series came to a close just a few months ago. The ever-reliable writer Peter Tomasi is back, joined by the art team of…
Some ideas are just so honest, so pure that we see them and wonder "how has this never been done before?" They make us examine ourselves, our places in the world, and humanity as a whole. Oftentimes they can make us have a new perspective, a new outlook on life, one that is more hopeful…
When this story began, I was pleasantly surprised. When you read the title “Deathstroke vs. Batman,” you’d be forgiven for thinking that the conflict would be nothing more than a physical contest between the two characters. After all, both men are among the best fighters and tacticians in the DC Universe, and the “who would…
