4 on Trinity #7 reviewWhat happens when three of the Trinity's biggest baddies get together for a catacomb bull session? ABOMINATIONS! With apologies to the excellent first arc of Red Hood and the Outlaws, Ra's, Lex, and Circe form their own "Dark Trinity" and face their demons in one of the creepiest haunts around. A stark—if temporary—change in tone Francis…
Think of the last great Mad Hatter story you read. When you do, let me know what it is. I don't say that to be snide, I'm genuinely curious what the great Jervis Tetch stories are. Right now, I'm drawing a blank. When I think of a good Hatter story, I think of "Perchance to…
With the help of Infinity, Batman and Superman have caught up with the Timeless. Meanwhile, the rest of the League has dispersed across time to stop the enemy on the most urgent fronts. But can the World's Finest take down a seemingly infinite foe? And how can the League save history when they aren't even…
It’s Batwoman’s first issue! After her...first issue. But that was Rebirth and this is just her regular series. I’m not going to pretend that makes any sense at all, but if you’re confused about this No. 1 after we just had a No. 1, well that’s why. The more important thing is that “Sinnerman” is…
It would appear that Christopher Sebela is flying solo these days on Injustice: Ground Zero. With Brian Buccellato no longer credited among the creators for this title, I guess he is no longer contributing story points. That strikes me as unusual because you would think the story would have been more or less mapped out…
I wanted to give an update on the dog I posted about recently. We weren’t able to find a home for him, so he’s now mine (big surprise, right?). I ended up naming him Ollie (sorry Dick), and his bold, mischievous behavior seem to fit/ justify his name. He’s learned how to jump onto tables…
Other than an appearance in a Green Lantern Corps tie-in to Batman's Zero Year, the sometimes-villainous, sometimes-something-else Anarky was absent from DC's New 52 relaunch. For their second arc on Detective Comics, Brian Buccelato and Francis Manapul set out to change that. What's included? Detective Vol. 7 actually collects several distinct stories, picking up where the…
The title of this issue is “Broken Things.” It’s kind of like when life imitates art, because there’s no better way to describe this issue… Broken. I don’t know what in the hell is going on behind the scenes of Mother Panic, but I feel like there’s a lot of meddling. The first…
Last month, I was a shocked because I actually enjoyed Batgirl & the Birds of Prey. In fact, as far as the characters were concerned, I felt that it was the most natural these three women have been since Rebirth. This month… The book is even better! I haven’t reached the, “I’m a fan!”…
In the immortal words of the Gotham Academy kids: OH...MY...CRAP! Did I just read the best issue of Second Semester ever written? Yes, yes I did. I'd even go so far as to say it's the best issue of Gotham Academy I've read in a year and a half. But it goes beyond that. Upon…
Titans is quickly becoming one of my favorite titles to read! I won’t go so far to say that it’s the best, but it is one of the more enjoyable books I read. Much like Green Arrow, there’s a positivity to this title that is infectious, and that fact that Abnett has stepped up…
(Reads issue and rubs hands together mischievously.) Oh… Oh, this is good. This is really, really good… Have I ever told you that I’m a fan of Rob Williams? Because I am. A big fan. Out of all the writers I cover at the moment, I feel as though his approach to a…
On the one hand, I think Tom Taylor is relying too much on tried-and-true formula to crank this one out. On the other hand, Tom Taylor can make tried-and-true sit up and bark. So even though there aren’t any big surprises in this, DC/Boom! Studios’ 3rd issue of the team-up of the Justice League/Mighty Morphin'…
You know how I was hoping (wishing/ praying) that Steve Orlando would deliver with Justice League of America since Hitch’s Justice League is complete crap? Yeah, well… Orlando totally failed in that mission! What in the hell did I just read? Everything about this issue feels off. The quality of Orlando’s narrative plummets.…
Black Mask: defeated. Bizarro: redeemed. Artemis? Who is she, really? Why does she roam the world in search of the elusive Bow of Ra? Red Hood and the Outlaws #8 delays her quest once more, as Jason prods the mystery of this she-bear of Bana-Mighdall and learns what makes his most sarcastic teammate click. A bar is the…
James Tynion IV started off his run on Detective Comics with "Rise of the Batmen"/The Colony storyline and followed that up with "The Victim Syndicate" arc. Both of those were fairly original concepts, but with League of Shadows, I'm starting to see some overlap with past stories. If you're at all familiar with my reviews,…
I’m not going to lie, I’m pretty excited about this week’s releases! As expected, I can’t wait to get my hands on Detective Comics, but I’m also looking forward to Snyder’s All Star Batman considering how good the last two issues have been! Aside from the Bat books, we’re also getting a number of solid…
A new creative team means a new direction for Detective Comics. With the exit of John Layman and Jason Fabok, Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato jump on board as the new all-star "storytellers" to begin their acclaimed run on the title. Eschewing big, bombastic threats in favor of smaller, mystery-oriented stories, Manapul and Buccellato's Icarus…
A few weeks ago, DC Comics teased some crossovers between some of their most popular characters and the Looney Tunes gang. Truly, this bit of synergy is just the amount of delirious insanity we need right now. Now, after weeks of hints from various creators on Twitter (including some amazing dialogue that I hope makes…
The Titans have fallen before that wretched foe. The one we all fear. The one that, inevitably, will come for us all. I'm speaking, of course, of... Code violations and exorbitant household repairs. Yes, even after saving Jump City yet again, the Titans are still susceptible to the most mundane, frustrating realities of everyday life. …
