4 on Justice League of America #8 reviewI’ve essentially obliterated every issue of Justice League of America ever since its debut. I don’t say that to brag, just to indicate that I’ve come to expect poor storytelling/ execution from this title. That might be why I was so surprised when I didn’t think this issue was terrible. I should start…
Eradicator and Cyborg Superman have broken into Belle Reve… That’s not good. That’s not good for Waller, the Squad, or the world… I’m going to be honest with you, Suicide Squad #19 doesn’t knock it out of the park in the way that I’ve come to expect. For whatever reason, Rob Williams’ script…
Here is a list of things I love in comics: Batman, Superman, Hawkman, Aquaman, Green Lantern, the Joker, and big dramatic splashy action pages. Here’s a list of things in Dark Days: The Forge: Batman, Superman, Hawkman, Aquaman, Green Lantern, the Joker, big splashy action pages. Sounds like a match made in heaven, doesn’t it?…
Batman. Christmas. Doggies. Kite-Man. What more could you ask for in a comic story? You'll find all of the above in Tom King and David Finch's short story "Good Boy." Originally published in last winter's Batman Annual, the story has been nominated for a well-deserved Eisner Award. To celebrate, the short has been made available to…
Spotlight on Azrael! Jean Paul Valley may have overcome his programming, but he may never truly be free of the Order of St. Dumas. When an old friend brings grave tidings, the once Avenging Angel and his new team must come face to face with the evil grown in his absence. Spoilers ahead! Putting the…
Steve Orlando can write. It wasn’t that long ago I praised his Batman/Shadow team-up as one of the best Batman comics I’d read in a long time. The script there was neither overwrought nor expository nor frivolous. Which makes this issue of Supergirl (“Escape from the Phantom Zone” part 2) a total conundrum but for…
I can’t tell you how happy I am to move past “The Lazarus Contract.” Nothing worthwhile really came from the story, aside from a few transitions that were randomly included at the end. Thankfully, Abnett uses Titans #12 to remind readers of the (much better) storylines he’d initiated prior to “The Lazarus Contract.” …
On the surface (aka: without using any brain power), this issue is ok. There actually are some good aspects. If you insert any ounce of logic though, you quickly realize this is one big, heaping pile of crap – just like every issue of Batgirl & the Birds of Prey since issue number 2…
We've reached the tipping point! As the Amazons of Bana-Mighdall confront General Heinle and his army, the Outlaws find themselves on different sides of the same conflict. But who's right? And can their friendship survive? Find out in Red Hood and the Outlaws #11. A disappointing conclusion to an engaging arc Even the best of…
Time is short for our dear Detective Club members, both literally and figuratively. In reality, there are only two issues after this one before the series is over. It will be a bittersweet farewell for the students of Gotham Academy for sure, but after the events of this issue there may not even be a…
The news worth speaking to at the moment, is the passing of Adam West. As sad as it makes me, it’s also great to see the legions of people showing their support. My Twitter and Facebook feeds have been full of remembrances, original art, etc honoring the late actor. For me, there’s a personal connection…
I’m changing up Cover Talk a bit concerning the posting date. Going forward, I’m going to post this article after the books have released for that current week (I’m shooting for Thursday afternoons), so you’ll vote on that week’s covers and variant covers. I initially wanted to post this on Monday’s to help balance out…
You really want to get my attention? Make a "Weird Al" reference. That man is the greatest musical genius of modern times. No joust, no arguments. The Titans, on the other hand... Well, they give it a fair shake. While watching a reality singing competition show thing on TV (where Raven is inexplicably a judge)…
Injustice 2 combines Digital Firsts 5 & 6 (“Contingency” and “Breakout”) into an issue of Injustice heavy on the intrigue. And if you have been playing the “Who’s FauxBat” game for the last couple of issues, I think we get our answer here even though it’s never explicitly stated. Am I right? And are we…
Once again this book surprises me with a twist I could have never predicted. And may I also say that Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti manage to pack more into 14 pages of this book than many other books still running at 22. Not only do I never feel robbed on the main storylines, but…
Think back to November 2015. That was about 18 months ago. A year and a half. Feels like a lifetime, doesn't it? Think about all that's happened in those 18 months. Not just in the world, but in your personal life. That's a lot of time for a lot of changes. On the Batman/comic book/media…
Quarantine on the Watchtower! An infestation has the League (and a few guests) stuck 22,300 miles above Earth. Can they neutralize the threat without any casualties? And can they do it in time for Lois to make her deadline? Find out in Justice League #22! Mild spoilers ahead. A whole lot of fun at precisely…
This was a really great issue. And I'm not even talking about the insane cliffhanger. (Spoilers, there's an insane cliffhanger.) I'm talking about everything leading up to it. Sure, some people are going to fixate on the ending at the detriment of the rest of the issue, and I think that's really sad. Especially when…
Alright, let's talk about the very best thing on that cover. You know what it is without me having to even say anything. It's not that dynamic shot of Nightwing kicking Blockbuster in the face. It's not that couple in the background, one of whom is taking a picture with an awful bright flash. It's…
The warden threw a party in the county jail. The prison band was there and they began to wail. The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing. You should've heard them knocked-out jailbirds sing. Let's rock, everybody, let's rock! Sorry. I know that's probably a dated reference that many of you won't get,…
