We like comics. Do you like comics? I bet you do. We also like talking comics, so Brian and I have decided to start up our own podcast: Comics Now. We'll discuss anything and everything comics related, from current releases, classic runs, and news from the industry at large. Join us as we discuss our…
Dark Knights Rising: The Wild Hunt #1 is a one-shot issue set between Metal #5 and #6. As such, it is safe to say that you would get the most out of this story if you are already invested in the Metal event, or at least have been following the core series. Additionally, it helps…
Detective Comics #974 is mainly about the fallout of Batwoman's actions from the previous issue. 3 weeks ago, we saw Kate Kane take Clayface's life by shooting him through the head with an experimental gun developed by The Colony. Ever since then, I've been pondering what would happen next. My primary feeling was that there…
Batgirl has been wearing multiple hats lately. CEO, criminal-puncher, and ethical hacker. She wants to make life safer for her city and her friends, but in the process she’s made some enemies. So when she takes a step too far in her quest to clean up the streets, those close to her are put into…
Suicide Squad #35 is the start of a new arc, entitled Drain The Swamp. After a short break, Rob Williams is back on scripting duties, this time delivering a story about artificial technology and the dangers that come with it. While I think that the art is solid and that the issue is a quick…
Last issue, the Justice League disbanded the Titans and Roy decided to take on Intergang all on his own. We left Roy under heavy fire in issue #19 so it’s a bit jarring to find him relatively unscathed at the beginning of issue #20 (that armour must be really good). Anyway, he’s still in a…
Happy Valentine's Day! If you've longed to see Jason and Artemis take their relationship beyond insults and jokes, then it looks like your 'ship has finally come in, because Red Hood and an Outlaw are going out on the town. But Bizarro's still up to stranger things, and he may not be able to hide…
I'll give it this: the "Deadly Fable" arc has had some interesting ideas. Ideas are nothing without execution, though, which is actually pretty ironic given the events of this issue. But we'll get to the whys and the hows in a bit. This issue of Justice League of America is the culmination of events that…
This time in Bane: Conquest…Bane falls asleep! Issue #7 also continues the tale of Bane and the Serpent, picking up right where we left off in issue #6 with an overblown action scene that swings wildly between the ridiculous and the dramatic. Bullets fly, daring escapes are attempted, Bane shouts in Spanish and a Kobra…
The flu has ravaged my employees at my day job, so I haven’t had much time to devote to the site in the past week. Because of my limited time window (my lunch), I’m going to exclude any commentary for this week’s releases, but I will rank them according to the anticipation scale. I’ll return…
Issue #6 of Bane: Conquest marks the beginning of the series’ third arc. ‘The Sword’ started strong but faltered due to poor characterisation and ‘The Challenge’ was just nonsense, albeit with the fun addition of Catwoman; can ‘The Serpent’ fare any better? The book opens with an introduction to Bane’s next nemesis, Naja Naja (the…
Now that the Top 25 Covers of 2017 is behind us, we're turning our focus to 2018! Each week, we'll feature two weeks of covers until we catch up on the year, and then we'll move to our regular schedule featuring each individual week's covers. With 2018, we are bringing some minor changes to Cover…
“Milk Wars” kicked off in the wonderfully weird JLA/ Doom Patrol Special #1, and I was surprised by how much heart the issue had, despite the oddity of the concept. The question now, is whether or not this trend will continue in the other titles? The basic concept of “Milk Wars” is that Retcon, an…
For a crossover that should be overloaded with fun antics, Harley & Ivy Meet Betty and Veronica is just mediocre. Marc Andreyko and Paul Dini started this miniseries quite beautifully, bringing different worlds together in unexpected, yet completely believable, ways. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two issues because they featured a plethora of characters in…
Batman #40 is the conclusion of the Super Friends arc, and it picks up right where #39 left off. In the previous issue we were introduced to the Gentle Man and the realm where he has been fighting a horde of demons for a thousand years. Batman and Wonder Woman fought by his side once,…
Alfred is dead. Gordon is gone. Nightwing and Batgirl are in league with the enemy. The boy who lost everything has lost everything for a second time, and this might be the loss that sticks. In Batman: White Knight #5, it only gets worse—and Batman and his city may never recover. SPOILERS AHEAD. The mask comes off…
Swamp Thing rules. I don't know the exact reasons why, but I love this guy. Sure, Swamp Thing is a great, great character, but what is it about him that's so appealing? Is it the cool character design? The deep, rich mythology? The fairly silly name that belies one of the most compelling and sympathetic…
This month’s The Shadow/ Batman #5 slows things down a little as Steve Orlando and Giovanni Timpano set up the story’s climax and conclusion for next month! I’ve given The Shadow/ Batman quite a bit of praise over the past five months, and it deserves every bit of it! Orlando and Timpano have setup and…
Tom Taylor likes to play with our emotions. We know this. He’s killed off untold favorites since the dawn of Injustice: ripping our hearts out with every distress-filled death since Lois Lane was taken out by a narcotized Superman in the very first issue. So it should come as no surprise (though still may be…
