  • Nightwing #27 review

    "Nightwing and the Huntress in..." When I saw that, I giggled.   Not even joking.  It's fun little touches like that that show the writers and artists are having just as much fun creating a book as you are reading it.  While Nightwing is decidedly and firmly set in the superhero genre, there's no reason…


  • Trinity #12 review

    Justice League Dark reunion! After getting attacked by some disturbing, disturbingly-familiar faces, Superwonderbats reaches out to John Constantine, Zatanna, and Deadman for help. But even with their combined magical prowess, the "Mystic Trinity" find the Outlaws-turned-Underlaws a substantial challenge. Can the Trinity and their magical counterparts overcome the magic of the Pandora Pits? Find out…


  • Batman #29 review

    You are cordially invited to attend a dinner at Wayne Manor on the evening of the 16th with the explicit purpose of bringing a resolution to the ongoing war. Rest assured that neither the Batman nor the GCPD will be in attendance. This dinner is being solely hosted by mister Wayne with the greater good…


  • Marguerite Bennett Interview SDCC 2017

    Yes, it already feels as though San Diego Comic-Con was months ago, but we're still serving up some SDCC goodness! During SDCC, I had the privilege of speaking with Batwoman and Bombshells writer, Marguerite Bennett! Below you'll find a transcription of our conversation, but to set the mood (just trust me, it adds to the dynamic of the interview),…


  • Super Sons #7 review

    Despite their best efforts, the Teen Titans are in a state of disarray.  After suffering a loss at the hands of the appropriately-named Forgotten Villains, the team has retreated to regroup and lick their wounds.  Beaten down and humiliated, there's a far more oppressive foe the teens (and Jon) have to face, a villain who…


  • Justice League #27 review

    Young Justice! Sort of! After evading Sovereign and journeying through time to find their parents, the Kids in the Hall (of Justice) set about convincing the League of their authenticity. But not everyone is happy to see everyone, and not everything is as everything seems. Something bad is bound to happen soon. Right? SPOILERS AHEAD Who's…


  • Injustice 2 #8 review

    Damian just continues to cross lines that are frankly quite appalling, all the while looking more conflicted than ever, even as he’s doing it. I’m expecting Tom Taylor is setting us up for quite the interesting Father & Son reunion with plenty of other Batfamily in the wings to keep it more than somewhat interesting.…


  • "Batman: Creature of the Night" from Kurt Busiek and John Paul Leon announced

    The Batman minis are coming out in full force, and none sound as different and interesting as this.  Batman: Creature of the Night was just announced by DC Comics, and it sounds like it will be a different kind of Batman story: set in Boston in 1968, it follows a young boy as he is…


  • Upcoming Comics: August 16, 2017

    You’re going to see a slew of posts coming from me today, so I hope you’re ready! Tax free weekend was this past weekend, so I’ve been focusing on the day job for the past week… For this week though, it’s all Batman, all day, every day! Once I finish this, I’ll catch up with…


  • Batgirl and the Birds of Prey #13

    As usual, Batgirl and the Birds of Prey makes me want to kick and scream out of frustration due to terrible writing and characterization is, but one thing happens in this issue that makes me happy. No, overjoyed. You know what, I almost reached freaking nirvana, so I’m going to give this chapter an extra…


  • Titans #14 review

      There’s an important moral to this story… Don’t order pizza from a place with “Fish” in the restaurant name… When you break it down, Titans is a solid book. I always enjoy it, but I’m beginning to become somewhat indifferent with it. Surprisingly, I feel that Titans has the opposite problem of most books…


  • Gotham Academy: Second Semester #12 review

    The end has finally come...but it's bittersweet.  Over the last three years, Gotham Academy has been one of the few books at DC that's been consistently entertaining.  That's not to say that the title was above fallibility (I'm looking at you Yearbook), but even when it made missteps, they were never so major that I couldn't…


  • Harley Quinn #25 review

    Harley is celebrating 25 in style! This slightly plump special issue packs in a little extra Harley for those of you can’t seem to get enough. And to sweeten the deal, Chad Hardin makes a triumphant return after what seems like a long absence from the title! Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti have saved some…


  • Detective Comics #962 review

    Unrelenting action, check.  Witty humor, check.  Amazing visuals, check.  Unexpected twists and turns, check.  AzBats, check.  And an ending that boils down to more than simply who can hit the hardest, check.  This sounds awesome!  I'm guessing right about now you're probably waiting for the other shoe to drop.  Well, fear not!  I wasn't just…


  • Justice League/Power Rangers #5 review

    Remember this comic? No? I don’t blame you: it’s been on hiatus since last spring, that’s why. That tends to happen when you have months-long gaps between issues of a six-issue limited series. Is anyone still following along with this thing? If you aren’t, that’s a shame because DC/Boom! Studios’ Justice League/Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers…


  • Red Hood and the Outlaws #13 review

    Bizarro is dead, but Lex Luthor is on the case! As Jason and Artemis worry for their friend, the big guy's past comes to light, and we learn that's his linguistic impairments mask a rather complex person. But does any of that matter if Luthor cannot bring him back? Find out what happens in Red…


  • Suicide Squad #23 review

      I’m really beginning to have a love/hate relationship with this arc of Suicide Squad. The whole, “Harley is the new field leader!” bit is beginning to get toned down (thankfully), but we unfortunately move from that focus to another one that feels equally as forced… The Squad going after Killer Frost and Batman.  …


  • Justice League of America #12 review

      Twelve issues in, and we’re finally getting what we’d hoped and expected to get from Justice League of America since its announcement! I won’t lie, the issues leading up to this arc have been… challenging. This issue, however, makes up for all of that and is a great jumping-on point! So… Jump on, because…


  • Updated: First details and release date for "Batman and the Signal"

    Ever since he was introduced in Batman: Zero Year, Duke Thomas has seemed destined for heroism.  He began as a young kid caught up in a city-wide tragedy, became one of a number of Robins, and blossomed into something new.  Something... different. Now, after featuring heavily in All-Star Batman and the one-shots leading up to…


  • Break from the Bat Special: Mister Miracle #1

    We can't help it. We want to compare. How is Mister Miracle like Tom King's other work? Is it the next Vision? Will this latest King/Gerads collaboration be anything like Sheriff of Babylon? Nine-panel grids, a far off place—another Omega Men, perhaps? What do we have here? These questions are understandable, but they are the wrong…
