  • Injustice 2 #5 review

    Ra’s al Ghul is really starting to up the ante against Batman and his dwindling Resistance, and Tom Taylor is upping the ante as well--bringing in some interesting characters we haven’t spent quality time with in the Injustice series yet. And as with all of Taylor’s work on Injustice, he hooks you and then he…


  • Harley Quinn #23 review

    There are some big shifts being set up in this issue which, though it definitely feels like one of those bridges between the major action, still brims with plenty of Harley craziness.  Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti are finally pushing the conflict between Mayor DePerto and Chief of Police Spoonsdale into almost-open warfare as the…


  • Batman #26 review

    Part two of "The War of Jokes and Riddles" is little more than a preamble to the main event.  But can I just say, if the story is already this awesome and we are only in setup mode, well then, I believe we can expect some truly great things to come from this arc. Let's…


  • Justice League #24 review

    Mera is on a rampage! The League investigates some powerful phenomena at sea, only to find the would-be queen of Atlantis playing dangerous with the ocean. The Aquaman tie-in that we never knew we wanted (and still aren't sure about) If you didn't read Aquaman #25, then you may experience some initial confusion in Justice…


  • "Batman and Harley Quinn" prequel comic from Ty Templeton and Rick Burchett announced

    Well this is exciting.  The upcoming direct-to-video animated feature Batman and Harley Quinn is getting a digital-first prequel comic. Thats all well and good, but the real surprise is in the creative talent tapped for the story: none other than Ty Templeton and Rick Burchett.  The duo are veterans of the animated-style Batman, having been…


  • Nightwing #24 review

    Imagine if you will a story told in two parts.  One deals with some domestic issues among a few supporting characters, a largely dialogue-driven affair that takes place within the office of a community center.  The writing is engrossing, thanks in no small part due to the fact that you care about these people.  We…


  • Upcoming Comics: July 5, 2017

    July 5, 2017 Happy 4th of July, everyone! I hope those of you that are in the states have something fun planned today! Try to spend time with family or friends and make the most of the day! And blow stuff up if your city/state allows it! Cause what’s Independence Day without some fireworks? Alright,…


  • Cover Talk: July 4, 2017

    I'm going to keep this short and sweet because we have A LOT of covers to get to! In addition to the usual covers, all of the May variant covers are listed as well by the week of their release! Next week I'll include the Q-1 Variant Cover Poll! Below you’ll find the cover of…


  • Back Issue Review: Superman Adventures #25

    In this installment of Back Issue Review, we're taking a look at an issue of one of the most underappreciated comic series of the past few decades: Superman Adventures.  Based on the Superman cartoon from the 90s, this series was similar to the comparable Batman series in that it told some of the best stories…


  • Justice League of America #9 review

      You know the phrase, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” I often think of that phrase when I read Justice League of America. I see what Orlando is trying to do. The heart is there… but the execution is far from good.   Since its launch, JLA has been plagued with…


  • Suicide Squad #20 review

      In this chapter of Suicide Squad, Amanda Waller assigns a new field leader!   I’m going to be honest with you… Not much happens in this issue. If you were hoping to jump into the aftermath of Flag’s sacrifice, and ramrod head-first into that drama, then curb those expectations. If you were expecting more…


  • Batman / The Shadow #3 review

    Batman / The Shadow #1....LOVED IT! Batman / The Shadow #2....LOVED IT! Batman / The Shadow #3....um, I kinda loved it. Now now now.  Before you pelt me with tomatoes, I'm not saying it's bad.  It's good!  In fact, I enjoyed it quite a bit.  I'm just saying it isn't as good as the first…


  • Batman Beyond #9 review

    One of the most important aspects of Batman Beyond is that of legacy.  What is Bruce's legacy?  Is it a failed mission as Batman?  After all, there is still just as much crime in Gotham as ever, and he'd been long-forgotten by the time we enter the story. Or is Terry his legacy?  Does it…


  • Detective Comics #959 review

    Previously in the pages of Detective Comics: The Order of St. Dumas has activated an A.I. program that will transcend the faults that all the previous Avenging Angels eventually succumbed to.  Concurrently, Bruce Wayne attends a card game at the Iceberg Lounge in order to meet with Zatanna and enlist her help in a matter…


  • Batman '66 Meets Wonder Woman '77 #6 review

    Now we reach the end of the road for Batman '66 Meets Wonder Woman '77.  This is the first issue of the series released after the sudden death of Adam West, and his loss still stings. We'll always have his work to remember him by, though, and his legacy lives on even now in comic…


  • Batman/Elmer Fudd Special #1 review

    He sits at his table, alone.  From upon the elevated platform, Tom King scans the crowd.  Everyone is enraptured, listening to the writer talk about his craft.  He scratches his face, his stubble as short as the time it took for him to rocket to stardom. Reaching for a bottle, he takes a drink.  Long, slow.…


  • Teen Titans #9 review

    Who is Jackson Hyde? Where does the newest member of the Teen Titans come from? The mysterious past of Aqualad comes to light in Teen Titans #9. SPOILERS AHEAD. A mushy start In what seems to be standard form, Teen Titans #9 gets off to a bit of a slow start. Pham's characters aren't nearly as consistent with the…


  • Batgirl #12 review

    The first thing I want to appreciate about this issue is that Hope Larson has given us a one-shot, which we just have too few of in comics these days. The current trend is long-spanning arcs and multi-plot narratives that last virtually forever, it seems. This is a big improvement over the cross-over hell in…


  • Upcoming Comics: June 28, 2017

    We’re less than a month from Comic Con, and I’m SUPER EXCITED!

We’ll be tweeting updates throughout the weekend… Plus, we’re all really cool and totally worth following……


  • Cover Talk: June 23, 2017

    We had a pretty good week in comics, and now we get to discuss the covers! Next week, I’ll (finally) include March variant covers, so we can move on to the Q-1 Cover Poll. Then, once we’re caught up with last quarter, we’ll knock out our current quarter and remain on track moving forward! Below…
