12 on Upcoming Comics: July 18, 2018SDCC begins this Thursday! I repeat, SDCC begins this Thursday!!! I’m SUPER excited! I’ve suspected there would be a number of announcements during the convention, and I now know this to be true. Whether or not they’re going to be Batman-related remains to be seen, but both Scott Snyder and Steve Orlando have confirmed they’ll…
So far, Constriction has been a lot better than the previous Suicide Squad arcs I’ve reviewed. That’s not to say that the story so far hasn’t been without its fair share of problems, but at least we’ve seen an increase in quality since I began reviewing this title. So I was eager to see this arc’s…
Titans Special #1 introduced readers to a new team with a new mission; this month their trials begin with the action-packed Titans #23! If only they had a catchier battle-cry... Because the focus of the issue is on the mission at hand, not every character gets time to shine (e.g. Nightwing is just the one-note Leader)…
Jason Todd is on the warpath. His father’s letters have awakened at least some affection, and he’s got his crosshairs set on one of the Gotham villains he feels was responsible for getting dear old Dad put away. Will his promise to preserve life stand under the weight of such loss and anger? Find out…
Is Bryan Hill writing a Red Hood for the next generation? We’ve got an upstart up-and-comer villain with a fancy necromancer-tech helmet of some sort, and he’s got a personal problem with Batman--and particularly against the people who follow in his footsteps. Sounds like a grudge-match forged in the furnace of some failed wanna-be who…
With all the attention on Batman #50 last week, many of you may have missed something else that was quite critical… DC Nation. Yes, it’s just one big promotional magazine, but there were two key pieces to the book that are worth taking note of. The first of these is a letter by Dan Didio.…
The Teen Titans are movie stars! While I'm... pretty sure a similar scenario came up in a recent issue, it doesn't matter. With an actual for-real movie coming out soon, it only makes sense that the comic series would capitalize on their silver screen presence. Yet even with a pretty foolproof concept from the usually…
War on two fronts! As one half of the League infiltrates the Totality, the other engages an old friend on an older wavelength. Meanwhile, Lex Luthor’s Legion of Doom waits for their striking moment. With the heroes preoccupied, it’s only a matter of time, in Justice League #3. SPOILERS MOST DEFINITELY FOLLOW. Behold, the hero…
A curious thing happened as I was reading Deathstroke #33: I had a really good time. That may seem like a backhanded compliment, but considering I've found most of this arc to be both incomprehensible and nonsensical, I'll take it. The entertainment factor is thanks in no small part to Damian and his verbal sparring…
I’m not feeling this arc at all. Everything about it comes across as forced, underdeveloped, and half-assed. In fact, the best thing about this issue is the variant cover. There’s a tech crisis taking place in Bludhaven. A new firm has come to town and they’re rolling out their product to everyone within a certain…
All right, first of all, if you’ve been looking to jump into the insane hurricane that is the Harley Quinn series, then you can be sure that this is a good jumping-on point. References to past episodes of the series are kept to a minimum, and so you don’t need to have a deep understanding…
I’m not a fan of dialogue covers, but I will say you should heed this cover’s warning… Read Batman #50 first. That, or make sure you know what happens in that issue, because it will help explain some things here. Also, there will be spoilers for Batman #50 in this review, so proceed with caution.…
Over the course of Injustice, so many characters I love have been killed that it may as well be called Let's Murder Everyone Jay Likes. Seriously: Dick Grayson, Ted Kord, Animal Man, Tim Drake, every Green Lantern that I actually like. So many deaths, guys. But the narrative is compelling and the writing is strong,…
Did you get an invitation to the wedding? If you’re still trying to avoid spoilers, you’ll want to skip this review since it’s just ONE BIG SPOILER (there might be very little to talk about otherwise). But if you’ve already got your hands on your own copy, or else had your fun wrecked by major…
Well, this weekend was interesting. No? We received review copies of Batman #50 and spent a good chunk of Friday and Saturday discussing it, only to be shocked by DC and The New York Times on Sunday when they decided to spoil the issue. If you want to know how we feel about DC spoiling…
Since page one of issue one, we’ve waited for the encounter at the diner… And it’s finally here! As many of you know, I have a tendency to be a little long-winded with my reviews. This will not be one of those instances. And it’s not that I don’t have much to say, it’s that…
I have to admit up front that any book in which Jim Gordon makes an appearance almost always gets at least a .5 boost in the score from me. So I’ll give you a second to mentally adjust for that before I launch into my review of Shawn Aldridge’s “Choices”, a one-shot pitting Batgirl against…
It's the finale of Bane: Conquest and, true to form, it's an explosive ride with plenty of action and an unsatisfying 'story' tacked on. It's over a year since the series began and I'm still not sure what it's all about. At a dramatic moment in issue #12, Bane screams that he will 'stand as…
Previously, we were treated to Titans Special #1, and in that issue we received a solid idea of the tone, look, and direction the new run would take. I praised the book for setting up a purpose for the team to exist – something DC has failed to do with many of their team books…
All right, let’s just get our complaining about the release schedule out of the way first: this book takes place before both Batman no. 48 & 49, and more or less immediately follows Batman: Prelude to the Wedding: Batgirl vs. the Riddler. The bad news is the fact that we are already ahead of the…
