27 on DC teases Looney Tunes crossover comicsDetails are scarce, but DC Comics just shared a pretty cryptic blog post: Stay tuned. Jonah Hex. Yosemite Sam. Martian Manhunter. Marvin the Martian. Lobo. The Road Runner. Batman. Elmer Fudd. Say what you will about corporate synergy, but... that actually sounds amazing. I mean, Jonah Hex and Yosemite Sam? I'd read 75 issues and four…
Mongul is the mastermind! The once-lord of Warworld at last revealed himself, and with the Trinity's defenses down, he possessed Superman's real-world body, intent on making mayhem for the people of Earth. But the experiences of our heroes have had unexpected consequences, and Mongul may have left open a vulnerability. Can Clark, Diana, and Bruce…
Month in and month out, I'm loving these title pages. It's a strange thing to mention, but given that they're the first thing you see after the cover it's important to leave a good impression. Batman/TMNT Adventures continues to impress with its title page, using stark colors and imagery to evoke the feeling of watching…
After a slight delay, Mother Panic returns with an unexpected plot change, and a confrontation from the Bat(woman). I’m not going to say I’m disappointed by either of these progressions, but they both feel a little… sudden. In fact, it almost feels like we missed an issue… Mother Panic crashed onto the scene…
Last go-round I talked about Ground Zero suffering from some very uneven storytelling and this book is a perfect example of the counter-swing to the last issue. Whereas that one felt sort of flabby and not well grounded, this one feels ten times more cohesive, more full integrates the Justice League and provides a fight…
Batwoman’s rebirth pulls no stops in this stunning opener that’s more a feast for the eyes than for the intellect--but that’s hardly a bad thing. If you have never read a Batwoman comic, this would be a great time to start as Marguerite Bennett and James Tynion IV bring Kate Kane back to her own…
Mysterious energy fields, weird Atlantean mages, and classy Casio timewatches are but a few of the delights that await you in Justice League #15. As "Timeless" begins, the League mixes it up with some new foes, meets a new friend, and reconnects with some old acquaintances. Can Earth's bravest and strongest save the planet when the…
With the last chapter closed (for now) on Harley’s life, she’s launching herself into an all-new adventure here. We still have the ongoing development of Madison’s imported vampires, but they continue to occupy a backburner in favor of some other-worldly Harley-style crazy, the caliber of which we’ve come to expect from writers Amanda Conner and…
Tom King's work can be very polarizing, and likewise, unpredictable. I used to be someone that could simply say, "I love Tom King's work". But after the highs and lows I've witnessed on his Batman run, I must now resort to saying, "I like this issue or that issue". I can't even say I've liked…
When he was introduced back in 1993, Bane was positioned to be a two-fold threat to Batman: he could match him mentally, and even moreso match him physically. Thus, he became the man who broke the Bat. Since Knightfall, Bane has had some ups and downs, going from one-note thug to compelling co-lead in Secret…
Green Lanterns has truly been a delight. That in itself is kind of surprising, because Wonder Woman got it right back in Justice League #50: "why does Earth need another Green Lantern?" She's not wrong, as there are now six human Lanterns assigned to Sector 2814. Sure, I guess John Stewart is technically in charge of…
There need to be more comics like this, in intent if not content: self-contained, standalone issues. One-and-dones. Arcs are fine every now and then, but it's great to be able to read a smaller story every now and then. I love being able to pick up an issue that pushes the narrative along without having…
After what seems like an eternity, Super Sons is finally here. There's been a lot of anticipation building up to this title, and... you know what? I'll just cut to the chase: it's great. Super Sons is non-stop fun, a truly remarkable first issue, and a near-perfect example of comics storytelling. I had a grin…
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone! I hope each and every one of you have a wonderful day, no matter what your plans are! I also want to apologize for the delay in this post. I found this little guy on Monday! He’s part of the reason this post is later than usual. I found him…
I noticed Nightwing: Old Friends, New Enemies in various comic shops and on Comixology, so I started asking friends of mine if they’d read it. Most hadn’t, but those that had, recommended it. I’m always a little cautious of older stories simply because the writing can be a bit cheesy from time to time. The…
Like most of the titles I’m reviewing this week, Titans is in a short transition phase as it leaves one arc to begin another. Honestly, anything is better than a self-loathing Wally and Abra Kadabra though! Following the Abra Kadabra arc, and the incredible one-shot with Wally and Superman, Abnett decides to follow…
Oh boy… I’m 100% positive that Romita’s art is going to skew my judgement of this book… Suicide Squad #11 is the first issue following the epilogue to Justice League vs Suicide Squad. For the most part, it’s business as usual for the Squad. For Amanda Waller, however, it’s anything but… And that makes…
You ready for a shocker? This was easily the most enjoyable issue of Batgirl & the Birds of Prey that I’ve covered! Surprising, right? Before you get too excited, I’m going to douse your hopes that my opinion of this title is becoming favorable… It’s not. But, this issue did surprise me. After I…
Welcome to the review for Detective Comics #950! This is a special anniversary issue commemorating the milestone that Detective Comics has just crossed. As such, the issue is extra-sized, coming in at 38 pages and containing three different stories. All three stories are written by James Tynion IV but feature different artists. Two of them…
Justice League of America: Rebirth gives us a first look into what this title will be like, and in doing so, Steve Orlando decided to pull a page out of David Ayer’s book from Suicide Squad. Yep, that’s right, we’re starting this series off by highlighting the cast… And that’s about it. I…
