12 on Suicide Squad #22 reviewIn this issue of Suicide Squad, Harley’s reign as field leader continues while, surprisingly, the most interesting aspects of the chapter stem from Waller’s plot! If there’s one thing I really enjoy about Rob Williams (other than the fact that he embraces consequences in his narratives), it’s that he keeps you on your toes. Every…
What follows is a complete transcription of the interview I had with Steve Orlando on Thursday July 20th at the 2017 San Diego Comic Convention. BM: The lineup has you slated to talk about Supergirl, but I was hoping to talk with you about Batman / The Shadow. Is that ok with you? SO: Batman…
So far, I've given this book pretty much nothing but praise. Unfortunately, Batman / The Shadow #4 is about to break the stellar streak this book has been on (for me at least). It's not that anything in here is bad (well, maybe one little thing). It's just that, compared with the previous issues, this felt…
All-Star Batman can get ridiculous, often to its benefit, occasionally to its detriment. There's a real sense of zaniness to the book that makes it really enjoyable to read, and you get the feeling that Scott Snyder's having a blast working without a net. Usually, that translates to the page, and that's generally the case…
Black Manta has come for his boy! The mystery of Jackson Hyde's past has been revealed in all of its horror, and he has no choice but to face his father like a man. Meanwhile, the rest of the team continues to fracture around Kid Flash's ouster. Something needs to change, or the Teen Titans…
We get another one-shot from Hope Larson on the Batgirl title, and this time it’s a team-up with Catwoman in a little tale humorously titled “The Truth about Bats and Dogs”. I’ll just say it upfront: this is kind of a silly story. But I will also temper that by saying: eh, it’s entertaining anyway.…
I survived my third San Diego Comic-Con! I’m going to keep all of this brief because I have SO MUCH I need to try and cover this week! First, I’m bringing you this (Upcoming Comics) so we can actually have a chance to discuss this week’s releases before they’re released! As we progress through the…
Beginning with October's Batman #33, Joelle Jones will provide pencils for the Tom King-helmed book. The issue begins a new arc titled "A Dream of Me," where Batman goes on a journey of self-discovery after we learn Catwoman's answer to Batman's proposal. So, yes: this is when we will learn what Selina says. Jones is…
Ignoring the fact that, you know, every day is Batman Day for most of us, the annual event has had a pretty strong showing the past few years. Batman's pretty popular after all, so it makes sense. You know who else is insanely popular? Harley Quinn. That comedic queen of crime is turning 25 this…
Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo are preparing to melt our faces off with the forthcoming Dark Nights: Metal miniseries. In addition to the six-part main title there will also be several one-shots, each focusing on the Dark Batmen of the Dark Multiverse. From DC: SDCC: THE “DARK KNIGHTS” RISE! Final Versions of Evil Batmen revealed…
It’s rare for the Harley Quinn team to swing and miss, but this issue just didn’t connect for me. It’s definitely a bridge piece and it does have some fun stuff, but a long and very verbose segue-way about Harley’s parents felt completely inorganic and dragged the whole thing down for me. I think I…
The Many Arms of Death may be behind us, but as predicted, Marguerite Bennett and James Tynion IV remind us in “Blinding” that Kate’s experiences on Coryana will continue to shape her journey throughout this new incarnation. In a way, it feels strange to be having this interlude about Kate’s rescue by Safiyah and her…
After reading Supergirl’s solo series to review her team-up with Batgirl, you can probably imagine that I wasn’t too excited about seeing Kara feature so prominently in the latest issue of Injustice 2. But then I remembered Tom Taylor was writing this and everything turned out just fine (but of course!). Not that great comic…
The virus infecting the Justice League is not what it appears to be! As Wonder Woman discovers the truth of their dire situation, Batman and Superman take care of their own crises. But with the Watchtower plummeting to Earth, what can they do to prevent a global catastrophe? "Dead Space" concludes in Trinity #11. Spoilers ahead Too…
In a bit of a surprise, another Batman/The Shadow crossover will be coming this fall. The current miniseries from Scott Snyder and Steve Orlando is only about halfway through, so it's curious that a follow-up would come so soon after its conclusion. This time, though, the names are swapped, as Dynamite brings us The Shadow/Batman. …
"The Ballad of Kite Man", HEL.... Hmm...? Is it too early in this review to start dropping "Hell Yeahs"? Na, I don't think so. "The Ballad of Kite Man", HELL YEAH!!!! If you've ever read any of my reviews, you know I'm a huge huge huge stickler for keeping the facts of the universe straight. …
25 issues already. It's crazy to think that it's only been a year since Dick took up the Nightwing mantle again. Shipping bi-monthly certainly gets you more adventures, of course, and a starring role in Titans means even more Nightwing for your buck. To celebrate a year back in blue, the ever reliable Tim Seeley…
A funny thing happens anytime I read Super Sons. I go into it expecting some great action and writing, which I get in spades, of course. What seems to slip my mind, though, is just how well-rounded a character Jon is becoming. He's been a part of the DCU for about two years now, and…
When Batman '66 Meets the Legion of Super-Heroes was announced, I was a little taken aback. Part of that was because Batman's team-up with Wonder Woman was coming to an end, and that series was... ok at its best. Frankly, I was a little burnt out. Did we need another crossover between the Caped Crusaders…
Molly's back, and she's telling tales! While the real villain of "Timeless" discusses multiversal threats with Batman, the rest of the League has a serious tussle with an enemy far older than they are. But even if they stop today's threat, Molly's story suggests a bigger challenge in the future. Bryan Hitch pulls back the…
