8 on The Man of Steel #3 reviewHere's the thing about The Man of Steel: it's good. Oftentimes, it's very good. Brian Michael Bendis' work with Superman is enjoyable, and while he's made quite a few changes to the status quo (some of which are still a mystery, even as of this week), he seems to have a good handle on the…
What really happened to Jason Todd’s dad? Did he die in prison, or is there more to the story? Find out in Red Hood and the Outlaws #23, as we take a break from the main story for an essential trip into the past. SPOILERS AHEAD. A simple, powerful story There isn’t much to the…
This may be Michael Moreci’s first venture into writing Batman, but he’s no stranger to DC, having contributed previously to both the Wonder Woman and Nightwing titles. “The Cursing of Gotham City” shows he knows how to fit right in, as it combines some of the longest-standing themes for this character: mystery, terror, and the…
In today's surprising announcement that Geoff Johns will launch his own production company and shift his focus to film and television work, it was also revealed that DC's Co-Publisher Jim Lee has been named the company's new Chief Creative Officer. Lee, of course, has been a legendary comics illustrator for decades, lending his talents to…
2018 is flying by! How are we already in June? Where has the year gone? I’ve been so caught up in other things that I feel like I missed most of this year! It’s crazy… BUT, the fact that we’re nearly halfway through June means that we’re roughly a month away from SDCC! As always,…
Have I mentioned that Sam Humphries is a delight? Because it absolutely bears repeating. The writer has been making his mark across DC Comics over the past few years, from launching the excellent Green Lanterns title to helming a great run on Nightwing, and even teaming up Bugs Bunny with the Legion of Super-Heroes. We’ve…
Man, this issue is a doozy… I had problems with this book from the word, “go.” And if I’m being honest, while I’m not crazy about the plot, that’s not my major issue here. It’s the characterization, or, more importantly, the lack thereof. Add in Ben Percy’s heavy-handed script, and… well... *Sigh* Let's just be…
It's amazing how the simplest concepts can result in the funniest of stories. That's the case with the newest installment of Teen Titans Go!, which isn't quite a top-tier narrative but it has more than its share of laughs. And really, what more do you need? The basic plot: the Titans barge in on Robin…
And now for something completely different. Hal Jordan has been convicted of crimes under the influence of the yellow ring and sentenced to the penal colony on Harring to do back-breaking labor as atonement for his sins. To make matters worse, the correctional officer in charge of him is Sinestro’s Green Lantern daughter Soranik. To…
There are good things, even very good things about Deathstroke. The writing is consistently confident, and the visual aesthetic is pleasing and dynamic. Truly, this is a good looking book, a visual feast even when the narrative is indecipherable. Yet that right there is the main problem I have: this book can get so convoluted…
We’re getting closer to Bruce and Selina’s big day, and Nightwing and Superman are taking Batman out for his bachelor party! But where are the other guys? Oh, nevermind, there’s Hush! Oh $#!&! It’s Hush! I don’t expect much from one-shots or tie-ins. On rare occasions, I’ll be surprised with an excellent issue, but usually,…
The universe just got a lot more dangerous, and the Justice League must change to face it. Following the cataclysmic events of Dark Nights: Metal and No Justice, Earth’s greatest champions have expanded their ranks. But evil, too, builds its army, and not all threats lie on the horizon. What new devilry lurks closer to…
This month Christopher Sebela takes Harley through her paces in part one of a new tale titled “One of My Turns”. This book is bridging the gap before new series writer Sam Humphries takes over on the 4th of July for a really bold new direction. That leaves Sebela basically treading water with the current…
It's Batman and The Joker trading blows in a Gothic Cathedral with shattering glass windows, moody lighting, and The Joker's penchant for completely erratic ramblings. I'd say that alone sound like it's worth the cost of admission. But as usually, I'm going to break it down for you with a fine tooth comb to see…
The talk of the town this week is Justice League! I think it’s fair to say that we were excited about Justice League when it was announced that Scott Snyder would take the helm, but now that No Justice is behind us, “excited” might be underselling the anticipation. I know "excited" falls short of my…
With Tom King’s Batman #50—also known as the “wedding issue”—on the horizon, DC Comics is publishing a 5 part series of one-shots to set the stage for the big event. Robin vs Ra’s al Ghul kicks off this series of one-shots, and to be quite honest, while I wasn’t sure what to expect in the…
I suppose we can't have it both ways with this series. Last issue, I felt like the narrative came to a relative dead stop, as the story flashed backward to give us an origin for the new Rorschach. It wasn't entirely unwelcome, and taken in its own context it was a gripping read, but it…
Earth is almost out of time! The Wisdom Omega Titan has already feasted on Colu, and Earth is the next morsel up for consumption. The four Justice League teams race back home; but even if they make it there before dinner time, what’s to stop them from failing just like they did before? Find out…
It’s been a while since the last issue of Bane: Conquest hit the shelves so you’re forgiven for not remembering what’s going on (What’s that? You’re not reading this series? Well, I can’t really blame you). Fortunately, even if you (wisely) skipped a few issues, this is a straightforward one that you can jump into without…
The Super Sons/Dynomutt and Blue Falcon Special here is in kind of a weird place. When it was announced a few months back that the Super Sons title had been canceled, yet they would be featured in this one-shot, it felt like the special would be a nice treat after such upsetting news. To that…
