36 on Doomsday Clock #3 reviewA funny thing happened early on in this issue of Doomsday Clock: I started buying into it. Now, this series has been pretty entertaining since day one, but I've still kept it at arms-length for a few reasons. Watchmen is great and, while I don't hold it in quite as high a regard as most…
Suicide Squad #34 is part two of The Chosen One, an arc written by Si Spurrier and illustrated by Fernando Pasarin (pencils), Sean Parsons (inks) and Blond (colors). It picks up right where the previous issue left off, with the main character—a nobody named Juan—in great peril as he is about to be eaten by…
Teen Titans #16 is a one-shot issue brought to you by the guest creative team of Marv Wolfman, Tom Derenick, Trevor Scott and Jim Charalampidis. This issue presents a one-shot narrative with the spotlight on Starfire, and supporting roles for Raven and Beast Boy. Although some prior knowledge about Starfire might enhance your reading, rest…
I'm going to be real here: Steve Orlando has been teasing that this arc will do things no other DC Comic has ever done before, so that got me thinking about what he could possibly mean. So far it's been a pretty standard story with twists and turns to be sure, though nothing that stands…
Dick Grayson just wanted to save the world. To a degree, he did: by robbing the world's superpowered beings of their abilities, he prevented the inevitable collateral damage that would result from fights between heroes and villains. By outlawing metahuman abilities, Dick made a world that was seemingly safe for "normal" people while "helping" those…
Hope Larson brings winter to Burnside/Gotham in this first part of a new arc titled “Cold Snap” that features our polar pal the Penguin--someone with whom Batgirl has a fairly well-established history as of late. Cobblepot isn’t causing any trouble just yet, however, as he rides into town on an open sleigh (or, rather, it’s…
I started writing this post, and saw that Doomsday Clock is releasing this week… Since then, all I’ve wanted are pancakes. Lots and lots of pancakes… Also, for those of you wondering, the Top 25 Covers of 2017 will post tomorrow! Keep an eye out for that, and share your thoughts on the results when…
It's long been said that Batman can't beat most anybody, given enough prep time. He has an unflinching resolve, his deductive skills are second to none, and if he's not the master of a particular form of martial arts, he's the master of a half dozen others. Batman is the peak of the human form,…
What better way to kick off this new era in the Harley Quinn series than by just going full batshoes crazy in a new arc that promises us lots of Man-Bat serum, crazy transformation hijinx and Harley being a little more than usual off-key. “Batter Up” (Part One), serves no softball in Harley Quinn no.…
Batman and Batgirl suit up in arctic Bat-tle gear to infiltrate Superman’s Fortress of Solitude. Everyone else just has on their regular day-wear. It’s a strange choice that Xermanico executes in an otherwise triumphant artistic return to Injustice 2. I tried to justify it by saying they would have “stealth” white batsuits for camouflage, but…
The premise of Batman #39 is fairly simple. Wonder Woman and Batman team up to fight an endless horde of monsters in a parallel dimension. But seeing how this is written by King, things are never quite as simple as they initially appear. While you're certainly welcome to see the story as nothing more than…
Marguerite Bennett takes a break for Batwoman #11 but that doesn’t mean the issue lacks the staples of the series; character growth, flashbacks, horror and brooding aplenty feature in this month’s chapter. I was delighted to see from Panosian’s creepy cover that this issue, it’s all about Pyg! Personally, I can’t get enough of the…
In Trinity #17, Batman and Superman decide to help Wonder Woman find her lost island home of Themyscira, which has been missing since the beginning of Rebirth. In order to explain how Diana kept visiting the island throughout the New 52, it’s been suggested in Greg Rucka’s recent run that the wool has been pulled…
I’m not going to say this issue is bad… but it’s not great. Let me make one thing very clear, the main plot of Sam Humphries’ Nightwing run is excellent! I know we’re only two issues in, but in those two issues, he’s delivered a well written, street-level story that is full of intrigue, mystery,…
The League meets its biggest fan! Sadly, it’s not Bat-Mite, but he does enjoy coordinated tights just the same. Can the team take out a threat that knows everything about them, or will his deranged devotion to their cause irreparably damage their credibility first? Find out in Justice League #37. Looks like a different book…
At long last, the "Super Sons of Tomorrow" arc has come to an end. Of the five installments, this is the best, though that's unfortunately faint praise. Like too many crossovers in the past year, this one goes out with a bit of a whimper, its purpose seemingly nothing more than setting up even more…
One of the things that was so great about the first Batman and Ninja Turtles crossover was how well it was paced. It was never slow or boring, but it did take its time setting up the story and the first meeting between the title characters. Tynion took his time telling a story that, while…
This month's LOC box is all about the Teen Titans—not the bug-eyed goofballs on Cartoon Network, but the comics team formed by original Robin Dick Grayson and a few friends. There was a great assortment of items in this box, and if you’re a fan of Dick's original Nightwing costume, you’re in for a treat.…
I know I’m late to the game, but I recently started listening to podcasts! They’ve been my go-to background noise when writing. The main podcast I’ve been checking out is Holy Batcast or Kevin Smith’s Fatman on Batman – strictly the ones featuring comics writers/ creators – and I find them fascinating. I love hearing…
I’m getting to this a little later than I would have liked, but better late than never! I look forward to this post each year because it not only lets us reflect back on the amazing stories we read during the year, but also lets us take a gander at some potential wall art one…
