2 on Harley Quinn #40 reviewFrank Tieri really pulls it together in this fourth installment of the “Angry Bird” storyline. While we still have no idea what is motivating the Penguin’s cadre of assembled third-tier villains, the story is starting to take shape around Killer Croc in an expected, but interesting way. Especially nice to see, is the return to…
The sweeping romance of Killer Croc and the Killer Whale continues in Tom Taylor’s tale of bestia--no wait, this is Injustice 2. Well, actually I guess the statement stands. It’s little details like this oddball, slightly comedic relationship that can keep a reader on their toes in this book. You can never get too comfortable…
You want to know how fun Super Sons can be when it delivers? This issue feels like it was supposed to be the second part of a longer arc that was ultimately truncated into a two-parter, yet even then the writing is so charming it's still a satisfying experience. Now, I'll be the first to…
I'm not going to lie: I kind of dug this issue, but I'm having a really hard time remembering anything that happened. It moves along at a fairly brisk pace (aside from a page or two that are loaded with dialogue), and the broad strokes of the events stick out, but I don't really remember…
Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay, the latest in Warner Bros. Home Entertainments long-running slate of original DC Comics films, will hit digital release next Tuesday, March 27. Starring Vanessa Williams as Amanda Waller, Christian Slater as Deadshot, and Tara Strong as Harley Quinn, the film will see Task Force X embark on another mission where…
The Watchtower has fallen to the Earth and landed in Wakanda! Can the Justice League salvage their busted satellite before the crazed Black Panther tears them a new one with his vibranium claws? Find out in Just Us League #41! SPOILERS AHEAD I don't like this It’s been pretty obvious these past few weeks: I don’t like…
It's been rumored and hinted at, and now it's official: Jim Cheung and Jorge Jimenez are the new pencilers for Scott Snyder's upcoming Justice League run. Cheung has been making a name for himself over at Marvel recently, so seeing him sign on to a flagship DC title is a welcome surprise, and Jimenez is…
At long last, Batman '66 has returned. After being nearly absent from the comic stands and news since last July's team-up with the Legion of Super-Heroes, the next appearance of everyone's favorite Caped Crusader has finally been revealed, and it couldn't be more perfect: Batman is going to meet Archie. While plot details are scarce,…
I have a confession to make… I still need to read last week’s comics. I know, I’m a terrible bat-fan, but I’ve spent the past week reading through non-DC/ Bat titles because my stacks (yes, plural) were getting outrageously high! Thankfully, I whittled it down a little and am ready to return to the world…
There have been all sorts of creative shakeups at DC Comics lately, with new teams being announced for different books almost daily. The highest profile revelations have been Bendis on the core Superman books and Scott Snyder on Justice League, but another change has almost flown under the radar: namely, James Tynion IV will end…
This July, Batman and Catwoman will finally tie the knot in the long-awaited Batman #50. It's been an event a long time in the making, from their first meeting back in the original Batman #1 from 1940 all the way up to the proposal in last June's Batman #24. The past several months have seen…
This issue is intended to conclude the three part arc Drain the Swamp, a story centered around Hack. The previous episode’s cliffhanger showed us that Waller, in an attempt to defeat Hack once and for all, blew up Belle Reve’s servers with the Squad members still tied to them. In this issue we will find…
First Roy took on Intergang on his own and now he’s even more out of his depth! Going up against Monsieur Mallah, the Brain and Cheshire sounds like a job for the Titans but trying to get the band back together could prove to be a tall order in this month’s Titans #21… Off the…
DC Comics have been rolling out some changes over the past few months, including new creative teams, titles, and directions for different characters. One of the most shocking and even upsetting of those announcements has been the cancellation of Super Sons. While series writer Peter J. Tomasi promises that it's not due to low sales,…
When James Tynion IV was first announced as the new writer for Detective Comics, he made the statement that he wanted to be on the title till issue #1000. Having said such a thing, it led me to believe that he had already mapped out a story that would take us to that point. Now,…
This week in Trinity, we finally reach the end of the ‘No Home For You Here’ arc and that's certainly a relief as the finale is chequered by the same problems that have plagued the series since James Robinson took over as the series' writer. Just like the previous Skartaris-based issues, Trinity #19 feels more…
The saga of Angor comes to a close in the final chapter of "New Life and Death," which surprisingly ends up being one of the more satisfying installments of Justice League of America in some time. I say "surprisingly" because I haven't been invested in this story, but I still found myself moved by the…
Bizarro is going off the rails, and his friends are closing in on his secret. Desperate to hold on to his new-found intelligence, the lovable lug has done some—at-best—morally gray things to maintain his heightened faculties. But his friends know something's up, and they care about him—and the rest of the world—far too much to…
Gus Yale is dead. An unintended victim of Batgirl's covert ops against the Calculator, the former "Oracle" was guilty by association and didn't stand a chance against Calculator's killer-robot Burnrate. Dinah and Helena feel betrayed by Batgirl's secrecy, but can the Birds set aside their differences and beat the bad guys? Find out in Batgirl and…
I feel like I’m in a pseudo slog with comics from DC at the moment. I’m speaking generally when I say this, but I’m not overly excited about much that’s out right now. That’s not to say I’m not excited for what’s coming in a few months, just that right now so many titles appear…
