3 on Break from the Bat #13: X-O Manowar #1I've tried a few times to get into Valiant's tent-pole titles over the past several years. But other than an isolated issue of Ninjak or a promising mini like Savage, nothing really took. Perhaps the problem lies in being dropped into the middle of a completely foreign mythology; it was easy to start reading DC and Marvel,…
There’s so much going on in this comic. So much that my little pea brain is having a hard time keeping up with all of it. Fortunately the pace in this week’s issue of the “Nether Regions Part Two: Beware, the Tyrant is Sore” is chill enough that I think I’ve been able to take…
I don't like how King forces characters to fit into a mold they don't belong in just so he can tell the story he wants to tell. To be honest, I think it's kind of lazy. Instead of forming his stories around the characters, he comes up with a theme he wants to explore and…
Sometimes (like, oh, right now), Injustice: Ground Zero feels like it just wants so desperately to break out into a slapdash heist movie full of colorful and zany hijinks. Part of that, naturally, is the fact that Harley Quinn is narrating this tale and she’s pretty slapdash and zany and hijinky most of the time--she’s…
Have I told you about Lunch Lady Darkseid? Because I'm going to tell you about Lunch Lady Darkseid. See, Baltazar and Franco here used to have a book called Tiny Titans. It was charming and adorable. It ran for over fifty issues. It spawned a few spin-offs and miniseries. And it had Darkseid. As a…
The Justice League is divided—across time! With the help of the mysterious Molly, our heroes are when and where they need to be, but will they stop the Timeless? And can Superman and Batman trust the equally-mysterious Infinity Corporation? Justice League #16 has answers. Unexpectedly enjoyable With a book as disappointing as the Rebirth iteration of Justice League,…
Must he? I mean, we all like Nightwing, right? Does he really have to die? Alright, enough with the dad jokes. Point blank, this issue has me torn. There's quite a bit about it that I liked, and quite a bit that I didn't. What I liked about it were relationships and aspects that have…
Yes, I’m still in my, “Oh my God! I’m so far behind!” stress mode, while frantically pulling together posts as fast as possible, BUT… this happened late last week, and it was worth sharing! In case you're wondering, that’s Jay and I… Not-so-diabolical plans were made for the near future. Beware. Alright, on to…
This is a week late (the joys of working two jobs and having a puppy that chews through my laptop charger). Since I’m so late, and I still need to get Upcoming Comics knocked out for this week, I’m not going to add any comments. Also, I’d like to say thanks for being patient with…
When Gotham City is a crime-free utopia... you know something's wrong. Batman, wearing white and operating in the daylight? That just isn't right. What's going on? And why on earth is Catwoman going by the name "Cat Bird"? The fifth volume of the New 52 Detective Comics run, Gothtopia, answers those very questions, while also…
Scott Snyder's All-Star Batman has been genuinely insane, and frequently in the best possible way. There was the bonkers "Two-Face and Batman vs. all of the assassins" concept of the first arc, the frightening mood of the Mr. Freeze issue, and the heartbreaking reverse chronology of his Poison Ivy installment. When Batman travels down to…
You know how I’ve been complaining about how Jurgens and team haven’t been executing issues to my expectation? You know how I’ve been commenting on some lack of logic and wasted opportunities? Yeah, well throw all of that out the window, because $#!% gets real in this issue! Going into Batman Beyond’s finale…
Amanda Waller is dead! We all know what that means in comics… No more Suicide Squad! Shut the program down, throw the team members into a proper jail, and cancel the book!... That, or Waller isn’t dead. Take your pick. If there’s one thing that I think we all need to remind ourselves,…
Just as Batman pulls together his own Justice League and gets them started with some junior league missions, a cosmic threat appears on Earth to save it! Time to call in… Wait… Save it? Did I read that correctly? (Pauses and re-checks the issue.) Yep, I read it correctly. Doctor Doom Lord Havok and…
Lady Shiva. I think my work here is done. No? Ok then, I guess I'll elaborate. The story opens with Lady Shiva torturing a Colony member, and for those readers not familiar with Shiva, it does a descent job at filling you in on the kind of person she is. Someone without mercy. Who isn't…
I love it, I hate it. I want to see what happens next and also want to burn the pages of the current book. Sometimes an extreme reaction is a good one. Being provoked can greatly add to one’s experience of a nice pulpy read on a lazy evening. But then there’s this: Get. the.…
It all ends here! Damian's friends have come for him, but the Demon's Head will not let his grandson go without a fight. Can the Titans work together and leave Infinity Island alive? Find out in Teen Titans #5, as "Damian Knows Best" draws to a close. Consistency counts As I finished reading this, I found…
I really wish this had been billed as simply "Batman Meets Wonder Woman." Take a Golden and Silver Age jaunt through these characters' histories, all the while seeing them unravel a decades-long villainous plot? That would have been fantastic. The pieces are there, and the idea is sound. The problem, this month as well as…
DC should release their May 2017 solicitations today or tomorrow, so keep an eye out for our coverage of what’s to come! Other than that, I’m going to keep things short and sweet, and wish everyone a happy President’s Day! If you’re one of the lucky few that are free of the burden of work,…
A celebration of a landmark issue. The rise of a dark doppelgänger. A whole lot of Man-Bat. All of these things and more are found in The Wrath, the fourth graphic novel collecting the entirety of Detective Comic's New 52 run. Picking up where the Emperor Penguin trade left off, The Wrath collects the following…
