16 on Upcoming Comics: April 4, 2018Happy Easter! I hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday! I’m sure many of you are eating lunch with family, watching your kiddos hunt for Easter eggs, or perhaps the kid in you is having an adult Easter egg hunt (where you hide money or scratch-off lottery tickets inside eggs instead of candy). Whatever…
James Tynion has a tendency to overwrite, filling his pages with an abundance of exposition and fluff… This isn’t one of those instances. First off, I have to give Tynion credit for winning my attention immediately on the first page. I opened the book and felt like I had been sucked into a time-warp that…
If you’re worried about what Facebook is doing with your information, then stay the hell away from Nevrland! Ben Percy’s run on Teen Titans will wrap in the near future, and while I’ve found his take on the group enjoyable, I never felt that the title had much purpose or direction (granted, the overabundance of…
Captain Prohaska, codenamed The Wall, is a super-soldier employed by the United States government. The character was first introduced in Suicide Squad #35. This guy has advanced stealth technology and even carries a small nuclear warhead as part of his arsenal. He also has an AI implanted in his brain so he can access military…
Sam Humphries, DC Comics superstar writer and all-around hilarious human being, has had a good run of things lately. As the guiding voice behind the first year of Green Lanterns, and fresh off a solid run on Nightwing, Humphries is poised to join the top tier of talent at DC. While the revelation that his…
After months of boring, repetitive build-up, things are finally happening in Batman Beyond. Though in many respects issue #18 follows the by-the-numbers approach we’ve seen throughout ‘The Long Payback,’ it’s an issue with lasting consequences for both the heroes and the villains of Gotham City. Last issue, Payback (the arc’s chief antagonist) finally came to…
There are scenes in this week's Justice League of America that have some of the most visually engaging artwork I've seen on this title to date. Using repeated panels to evoke a sense of deja vu and some nifty clockwork backgrounds, there's a sense of... let's call it poetry, as the Justice League of America…
It’s more of the same from this week’s Trinity with plenty of mindless spectacle and no attention paid to story or character. The awful ‘No Home For You Here’ arc may be over but our heroes are not yet rid of the twin blights of Deimos and James Robinson. Based on issue #20, it seems…
Here it is at last. The final installment in the long-running Metal event. Two months ago we saw an aged Bruce and Clark leaping across the Forge of Worlds, then sinking into the forge itself. We also saw Diana going toe to toe with Black Adam, and afterward, together with Kendra, leaping into battle. Most…
Maybe this is on me, but I just was not engaged. It's strange to say that, because I've enjoyed reading Doomsday Clock so far. More than that, I enjoy writing about it, because it feels like it's about something. It's similar to why I love Mister Miracle: while that series is firmly, unashamedly rooted in…
If you were as amped and excited as I was going into this issue, then you’re probably feeling my same disappointment if you read this chapter… Cause it’s a major speedbump for The Silencer. I’m not sure what’s going on at DC at the moment, but they can’t seem to keep a good thing going!…
This comic book has problems, but I don’t care and I’m giving it a relatively high score because it was just such a fun kick in the pants to read: start to finish, just a solid adventure you might enjoy from an episode of Batman: the Animated Series, for example: fun, light-hearted, and fast-paced. And…
Thank God for Doomsday Clock, The Silencer, and maybe Metal, because if it weren’t for these titles, I’d be looking at this week’s releases thinking, “Is it June yet?” Alright, on to business! For an overview of our coverage for last week’s releases, check out This Week In Comics: The Justice League Visit “Wakanda”. This…
Fresh from the first ever livestream of DC Comics' Publishers Panel at WonderCon in Anaheim, it's been revealed that two brand new Justice League titles will drop this summer. Spinning out of the upcoming No Justice miniseries, the titles will include a relaunch of Justice League Dark and the new title Justice League Odyssey. And…
Earlier today it was announced that Frank Miller has signed an exclusive five-book deal with DC Comics. In addition to the upcoming Superman: Year One, Miller will also be writing an original graphic novel based on Carrie Kelley, the Robin from his classic story The Dark Knight Returns. The untitled project will feature pencils from…
Chapter One of The Brave and the Bold: Batman and Wonder Woman was a highly entertaining and well-crafted comic. It set a high bar for the series as the artwork was phenomenal and Sharpe showed range in his writing. However, it raised several questions as well. One such question is when Wonder Woman and Batman…
Batman #41 was a creepy psychological thriller. Then, Batman #42 did a 180 and gave us silly slapstick mixed with unexplainable scenarios. With Batman #43, we've yet again flipped in a completely new direction, poignant social commentary. To be honest, I was dreading this issue. I simply couldn't fathom how King could possibly pull out…
It’s been a few years since we last saw Beth in the flesh, and Safiyah’s part in Kate’s story has been teased for over a year now. Finally, with ‘The Fall of the House of Kane,’ Marguerite Bennett is ready to share the tale it’s all been building towards! Issue #13 provides an exciting first…
This week, Nightwing faces his final judgment! I had a good feeling about this book before I read it because Jay sent me a picture of a panel with the text “#SickNasty!” What is the panel that’s deserving of such eloquent praise? Why, this one, of course! I, too, find this panel to be #SickNasty, so…
In their strong debut issue, Gage and Ienco successfully reintroduced us to the Telltale Games continuity and set up Batman's two major obstacles for the series: the perception of Thomas Wayne and his legacy in the light of monstrous revelations, and chief antagonist Deadshot. Issue #2 doesn't progress the story much but continues to entertain…
