15 Years of Coverage (2010-2025)

In tomorrow's Batman #24 *comic chief crashes through skylight and shouts into bullhorn* blah blah blah, this is Andrew Asberry protecting you from spoilers some more because the first couple lines of text in any of our articles always show up in a preview blahblahblah. Yeah, I also changed the headline. Doot-doot-doo...The mint chocolate Hershey's bar…
Be vewwy quiet. It's Bat season. In what is surely the weirdest crossover in quite some time, Looney Tunes' own Elmer Fudd will soon be making his way to Gotham to match wits with the Batman. That is insane, so of course I'm super pumped for this book. DC Comics have teased a few pages…
Originally, I planned on wrapping this post up Saturday night once I’d finished work, but when I got home, I learned about the incident in London. I have close friends that live in London, so I sat down (roughly 10:30 at night) and watched the news until around 3:00AM. I couldn’t seem to pull myself…
If, for some odd reason, you still haven't read Batman writer Tom King's astoundingly beautiful run on The Vision, there's never been a better time to catch up. Right now, you can have the entire run for less than five bucks, as both trades are on sale for $2.20 a piece on Amazon/comiXology. I've been…
What is more important: duty or justice? When should "what's right" supersede "the law"? At what point should you stop protecting an individual in order for justice to be served? These are incredibly heady, very difficult questions, and each is posed in Greg Rucka and J. G. Jones' Wonder Woman-The Hiketeia. Originally published in 2002,…
Be careful kids… This is some shallow water you’re treading. Here’s the deal, for DC Comics, “crossover” or “event” essentially means nothing more than “bridge” these days. This remains true for “The Lazarus Contract.” This story (much like the recent “The Button,” Justice League vs Suicide Squad, Robin War, Trinity War, etc), hypes itself…
Ahhh, the fifth Wednesday of the month. Annuals season. It's a weird day as a comic book fan, because new material is still released but there isn't nearly as much of it. Considering DC has been double-shipping like crazy for the past year it's especially weird seeing only four new books released today. Funny enough,…
The unholy alliance lives on! After measuring moustaches back in Trinity #7, Ra's al Ghûl and the witch Circe take their designs against our heroes to the next level. But an unstable ally of the League waits in the shadows, and things are about to get complicated for everyone involved. Wrong story, wrong time This…
Below you’ll find the cover of each title being released this week. Check them out. Study them. Try your best not to let your opinion of the story effect your thoughts on the cover, then vote for your favorite. If you’re like me, and can’t decide on just one, then you can select multiple covers…
It’s the fifth Wednesday of the month, so it’ll be a week of light reading! That’s ok though, because I’m sure most of us will end up using the money we save to go see Wonder Woman a few times, right? Or will that just be me? Alright, on to business! For a collection of…
If you enjoyed the first three issues of Mother Panic, but gave up on this book when the second arc started… Then you should pick up this issue. Just trust me! For the past few months, I’ve felt nothing but dread when I would sit down to read and review Mother Panic (as well…
Believe it or not, Justice League of America didn’t make me want to rip my hair out this week! I’m not going to go so far to say that the issue is good, but the worst moments of this issue are still better than the best moments of the last few issues. There are…
You know what I’ve been predicting for a while now? Do you remember? Yeah, well I hate to say I told you so, but… I’m beginning to notice a pattern with Batman Beyond, and that concerns me. On paper, Batman Beyond should be excellent. The stories that Jurgens is crafting are strong…
Revenge! Some of Superman's fiercest foes have joined forces to finish the Man of Steel for good. But they're missing a crucial partner, and in Action Comics #980, they're coming for Zod. SOME SPOILERS AHEAD Poorly-plotted One of my favorite aspects of Rebirth's rejiggering of Action has been the return of stories that look at various…
The last time we checked in on Amanda Waller and the Suicide Squad, General Zod was drilling into his brain with his heat vision! So what should you expect from this issue? The usual: sex and mayhem… Ok, the sex is kind of new, but the mayhem is standard fair by now. In…
Last issue, I went through the many reasons why Injustice: Ground Zero didn’t quite the hit the mark and this week I’ll add “timeliness” to that list. Digital Firsts 23 & 24 (“And Justice for All” parts 1 & 2) comes too late to offer us any real tension given we already see the new…
So Deathstroke, World's Greatest Assassin™, has super-speed now? That can't possibly be good. And possibly be good it is not, as we learn more about the Lazarus Contract, what it entails, and the lengths to which Slade will go to ensure he comes out on top in the bargain. If you've been waiting for this…
If you loved the opening salvo in this fantastic collaboration between DC and Dynamite, hopefully you’ve returned for more. If you missed out on that number one, there’s probably still time to go find it and catch up because this book is a real treat for not only Batfans, but fans of the superhero and…
SPOILER ALERT! No, not that kind of spoiler. The other kind of Spoiler. The kind that's irrationally mad at Batman and irrationally tries to be like Batman, but not exactly like Batman. Anyway, Spoiler's ahead in Detective Comics #957, and SPOILERS (the kind you'll want to avoid if you haven't read this yet) AHEAD. Not the…
