1 on Batman: Bloodstorm reviewIt's Halloween, so what better time is there to read some spoooOOOoooky Batman stories? And really, when else should you read about a guy who dresses up like a vampire bat and then literally becomes one? Such is the concept behind the second Elseworlds: Batman volume. Collecting the Batman/Dracula trilogy of Red Rain, Bloodstorm, and…
What is a children's story? Is it a watered-down view of the world, told through watered-down prose? Does it soften the edges of reality in an attempt to preserve the innocence of the young? Jason Brubaker may not have set out to write a children's story, but I would contend that he has; and, in…
It’s no secret how much I dislike the character of Mason Macabre. I cheered when he was originally written out into the witness protection program, groaned when Harley Sinn caught up to him and his mother in the desert, and have been grinding my teeth ever since. And now we have a whole book full…
Marguerite Bennett’s Batwoman fever dream not only continues, but takes it up a notch. With the Scarecrow fully working his chemicals on an imprisoned Kate, we see her disturbing memories of the past begin to succumb to the realm of full-blown nightmares. In terms of advancing the story, we’re starting to get some hints as…
Whether I love what King is doing or hate what King is doing, there is always one thing that I find consistent in his work, and that is his penchant for taking things in directions I simply didn't expect. If you are one of the individuals that reads solicitations, you've know for awhile now that…
This is the second issue in a row with a pretty misleading cover. Last issue made it look like Raptor and Blockbuster were going to team up to take out Nightwing, which... didn't happen. This one is a little more vague, but it still looks like Orca makes a return which... also doesn't happen. Ah…
If fighting possessed Outlaws was hard, how on earth can Batman and Wonder Woman hope to take on Superman possessed by Deadman possessed by...Circe? A pit? Whatever it is, it’s mean, and things only get meaner in Trinity #14. SPOILERS AHEAD I don’t love it... This arc has been challenging for me from concept. I’m…
Don’t be fooled by the cover, Wally West barely has any relevance in this issue. No, no… Not that Wally West. He’s dead again, remember? The other Wally West (DC’s/ Abnett’s choice of words, not mine). Titans is an interesting topic of conversation for me. I enjoy the book. Honestly, I do. That being said,…
It all ends here. In this, the final issue of Bryan Hitch’s run on Justice League, we see the culmination of over a year of storytelling. Does the conclusion of “Legacy” redeem this run, or is it guilty of the same flaws that have plagued the issues that came before? Read on to find out!…
The boys complete their first intergalactic/dimensional mission as "Planet of the Capes" draws to a close. This is the second big arc on the title and, while it still has its charms, there is a bit of wear showing. It disheartens me to say it, but Super Sons feels like it's slipping. Looking at the…
Here’s a universal tip for writers: reconsider whether you should start your narrative by suggesting that your story is one that “should never be” because invariably there will be people in your audience who, after reading said story, will no doubt agree with you. Wholeheartedly. In “Rime of the Ancient Mariner”, Dan Abnett takes our…
Today in As the Injustice 2 World Turns: will the family drama between Batman and his children be resolved? Can Alfred negotiate between father and son? And what shocking revelations will be unearthed as the world literally burns down around our gathered heroes? Digital Firsts 23 & 24 bring us “Endangered Species” in which Tom…
We’ve got some changes shaking things up beginning in January! First off, even though we don’t cover the title, we’ll be saying goodbye to Superwoman. Beyond that, we’ve got some creative changes taking place with Batwoman, Suicide Squad, and Trinity, with a change in art for Titans. Ch-ch-ch-changes! And I’m pretty certain we’ll learn of…
Well, Fall TV is definitely back! I spent the weekend catching up on some shows that I’d recorded… and that’s about it. I’m usually pretty good at pulling myself away from the tv, but I just embraced it over the weekend. My Saturday was one of those, “It’s 4:00pm, I should probably take a shower…”…
It's Halloween, so what better time is there to read some spoooOOOoooky Batman stories? And really, when else should you read about a guy who dresses up like a vampire bat and then literally becomes one? Such is the concept behind the second Elseworlds: Batman volume. Collecting the Batman/Dracula trilogy of Red Rain, Bloodstorm, and…
Tim Drake, meet Tim Drake. Over the past year, Tim Drake's absence has loomed large since being abducted way back in Detective Comics #940. Thinking their ally dead, Batman and his extended family have had to work through the grief felt after losing a loved one. In his absence, Tim has played a part in the…
If you're like me, you read Dark Nights: Metal #3 and thought "you know what this world needs? More Detective Chimp." Well, friend, you're in luck, because that's exactly what we're getting. First announced at New York Comic-Con, the upcoming one-shot Dark Knights Rising: The Wild Hunt will expand on the story of Metal by…
Let’s be frank, this issue and the previous issue of Justice League of America should have been a The Atom mini-series with a six to twelve issue run… And it’s a shame that we didn't get that instead. I’m sure many of you are scratching your heads right now. “What? You want these stories to…
Oh, Rob… At some point, I really will learn to trust you. Remember when Suicide Squad was one of the most entertaining titles in Rebirth? After a questionable arc containing a number of decisions that can only be described as “head-scratchers,” I found myself becoming less enthusiastic about Suicide Squad. I don’t want to say…
Rock'n Roll, seedy dim lit bars, jukeboxes, and more characters throwing up the sign of the horns than you can shake a stick at. With the first two issues of Metal, we were introduced to the mystery of the Dark Multiverse, and the rock/metal connotations seemed like little more than a clever marketing scheme that…
