1 on Suicide Squad #30 reviewIn this chapter of Suicide Squad, we get silly, fun action with a giant, red, dinosaur-alien. To quote the great Samuel L. Jackson from Jurassic Park, “Hold on to your butts.” After an attempt to assassinate Amanda Waller fails, the Squad begins investigating Argent – a covert government agency that appears to be defunct. The…
It's summer vacation for the students of Super Hero High, and with it comes opportunity for new adventures. With the school year behind them, what are the likes of Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Katana, Harley Quinn, and the whole crew going to do on their break? Spend it apart, apparently. This is bad news for Wonder…
Dan Jurgens returns to Batman Beyond, and doesn’t really do much in this issue… Well, that’s disappointing. I’m going to be honest, the biggest disservice to this issue is the fact that two filler issues preceded it. Had this story followed “Rise of the Demon” then I would say this is a welcomed break from…
Orlando’s second chapter of “Surgical Strike” contains a combination of highs and lows. For me, Prometheus overcomes a chunk of this issue’s opportunities and tips the book towards the enjoyable side of the scale. That doesn’t mean all is excusable though. Some aspects that have bogged Justice League of America down since it’s debut come…
“Off the Leash” is Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner’s epilogue to the “Vote Harley” storyline and brings a whole new level of grim to what’s already been a pretty violent arc. On the one hand, I feel like we’re at long last seeing horrid characters get their overdue comeuppance, and on the other hand, I…
Well, last issue was pretty good, right? After the slow moving debut issue, Nightwing: The New Order took its time getting anywhere interesting. The second issue was even slower than the first, aiming for pathos yet not quite hitting the mark. I know I should be feeling something for these characters, especially when so many…
Stephanie is back on the team, politics once again put Gotham against Batman, and the villains are amassing to counter Batman's Gotham Knights. All this and more in this week's chapter of Detective Comics. As our story opens, we learn that Gotham has a new mayor. And, naturally, the first thing the press wants to…
Crash! Bang! Kersplatt! Onomatopoeia threatens all of the above on the citizens of Star City, and only Robin and Red Arrow stand in the breach. Maybe! Can the rest of the Titans convince Kid Flash to come back and help them help Damian help Emiko? Or will Wally keep his back turned and leave his…
“Summer of Lies” concludes its bumpy ride with a bit of a crash landing. Hope Larson’s Batgirl and Nightwing team-up is charming and we get all the sort of fun banter we could hope for between these two, but the ultimate resolution to this long-building mystery doesn’t really provide us with any surprises. The story…
Last week, we asked if anyone was interested in joining the team, and we received an abundance of entries! Due to the number of responses we received, we are now closing our call. Thank you to all who submitted! We will continue to review the responses until we find our new team member(s). In other…
It's one of comics' biggest mysteries, as well as one of the biggest "holy crap" moments to come along in years: the characters of Watchmen are coming to the DC Universe. Once viewed as a standalone work, and rightly so (barring Before Watchmen, which I've heard isn't as bad as you'd expect but on the…
It's here at last—the conclusion of "Dark Destiny." Will Circe succeed in sucking the souls out of scads of slavish supers? Or will our heroes find a way to prevail? Find out in Trinity #15! Ding-dong, the witch is dead Whereby "the witch," I mean "this arc," and not "Circe"—I won't tell you one way or…
The Justice League has been defeated! With Batman and Superman lost in the dark, and Cyborg subdued by the Murder Machine, the Batman Who Laughs and his Band of Bad Bat Boys (and girl) made quick enough work of the rest of the team. Can our heroes get out of this pickle? Find out if…
Scarecrow is the star of this issue of Marguerite Bennett’s Batwoman, “Stay High”. And Prime continues to represent a nadir of character development and interest in my personal book of “failed mission sidekicks”. The two points together make for a bit of an uneven issue, but I’m going to say it falls well on the…
One of the most endearing qualities of DC Comics is their incredibly diverse stable of characters. Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman are three of the most recognizable characters in the world, for one thing, and characters like Supergirl, the Flash, and even Aquaman have become household names. Factor in oddities like Plastic Man, Ambush Bug,…
This might feel like a lull in what has been a long string of relentless action, but it’s a much-needed pace-breaker in which Tom Taylor can let us catch our breaths and consider all the carnage that has resulted from Batman’s “successful” mission to recover the kidnapped children of Ollie, Dinah, and Black Lightning. Digital…
It’s no secret that I don’t love the whole “Metal” event we’re having, but this book was a surprisingly not-terrible read. Even better than not-terrible, it was actually pretty great! While it follows a similar pattern to the other Dark Multiverse tie-ins we’ve had so far: grim origin story typically involving a dystopian future or…
I… I can’t put into words the amount of joy I experienced reading this chapter of Super Sons… So I have no idea how I’m going to discuss how incredibly fun and satisfying this issue is. The only expression that seems remotely appropriate, would be to hug Tomasi. You know, one of those long, awkward,…
Someone should really look into Bludhaven… They appear to have a serious steroid problem! As we all know, this is Tim Seeley’s final arc. I’m sad to see him go because he’s delivered some great Dick Grayson stories over the past few years, but I also understand the need or desire to move on. To…
In the last issue of Batman, we were left with a cliffhanger that teased a climactic sword duel between Catwoman and Talia Al Ghul....and that's exactly what this issue delivers! This isn't the only similarity between their fight and the one from Robin Hood. It's just the one I choose to highlight. If you don't…
