0 on Injustice: Ground Zero #3 reviewAfter reading Harley Quinn No. 11, this felt like the dark mirror opposite of that book in some weird way. Whereas in Harley’s solo series she was booting Mistah J out the door, here we have her leaping right into his arms (well, after a pretty violent kerfuffle, of course). Shrieking schizophrenia, folks, what a…
I'm a firm believer that every character has a good story to tell. At least, most characters have at least one good story in them. There may be some fringe characters who couldn't possibly ever work, but by and large even the goofiest of ideas can have some value. Love him or hate him, that's…
Harley and Puddin’--together again! Well, not really. I mean, they’re finally face-to-face in this issue, but only long enough squabble a bit before tentatively making plans to have it out later. Harley is rightfully outraged to have the Joker invading her space, playing with her wiener and touching her beaver (yeah, I went there: Amanda…
You've seen him speaking ominously and bleeding from his nose in the pages of Justice League vs. Suicide Squad, but now, HE GETS. HIS. OWN. BOOK. Sort of. Strap in for the wild ride that is Max Lord: Rebirth #1Justice League #12! A mama's boy runs into nobody's mama With the big fight over in JLVSS, this week,…
After mixing it up in Badhnisia, the League and the Squad found themselves frozen in place by a super-charged Killer Frost. That battle may be done, but as the good guys thaw and the bad guys rest, the really, really bad guys continue to pursue their designs against Waller and the world—leaving a trail of dead…
I’ve been behind since my move to Texas, and due to the holidays, I haven’t had the opportunity to catch up with some of my responsibilities for the site. So, to get back on track, we’re going to have a cover poll-ooza. There are a lot of covers below: Q4 Cover Poll, then variant cover…
Happy New Year, everyone! We’ve got some great things in the pipeline for this year, so I hope you’re excited and ready! It looks like DC will deliver the goods this year as well! In case you missed it, Geoff Johns announced he’ll return to comics this year (which should excite everyone following Darkseid War),…
Batman is dead! A final showdown with the Joker in Endgame has left Gotham City without her greatest protector. But in a place where crazy new villains grow up like weeds, the powers that be must make their own symbol to stand against the evil sprouting in the shadows. What's included This volume contains Batman…
If there is one thing you can definitely say about Mother Panic, it’s that it’s in a class of its own. Take that as you will (good, bad, weird, etc), but in the Batman mythos, it stands out. For many reasons, I loved the first issue! Yes, some people referred to it as “just…
I know the solicitation teases the Joker’s return in this issue, but trust me, that’s not what you’ll be talking about when you finish this book! Batman Beyond has been hit or miss with me so far, but overall I’ve enjoyed it. Most of my disappointment has come from the fact that the quality…
Titans #5 was the first issue that I actually enjoyed from this title. There have been moments that were nice, but ultimately there were many more moments that I found grating, heavy handed, uninspired, etc. Thankfully, this issue continues where the last chapter left off in terms of quality. In fact, I’d say it manages…
When we last saw our heroes, they were being audibly assaulted by The Spoiler. Has she snapped? What turn of events could have possibly propelled her to such deplorable doings? Why has she joined The Victim Syndicate in their crippling crusade against Batman? Or, is something else afoot? We pick up exactly where we…
Has there been a comic series of such varying quality in recent memory? I remember finishing the first issue of DK3 last November (no, that one before that) and being pleasantly surprised that it wasn't an outright offensive mess. Hardly a classic in the making, but it was a decent start to a series nobody…
Harley’s Little Black Book has been on a winning streak even if it’s been a four month delay between the last issue and this one. But the new issue is finally out and “No Pain, No Sane” has Harley teamed up with (and pitted against) the Man of Steel himself! Reading this was like finding…
I guess I didn’t see this one coming. I fully expected the “Beyond Burnside” arc to be over, but Hope Larson gives us this one-shot epilogue to close things out (and Rafael Albuquerque gives us one last round on Babs Gordon). This is purely a transition piece, but it’s wonderfully comic-booky and reads like an…
My relationship with this arc has been rather... strange. Even though there were aspects of Scott Snyder's writing on Batman that I wasn't a huge fan of, I was still greatly looking forward to see what he would do with the character when he didn't have as much pressure on him. As such, I was…
Battleground Badhnisia! Last week, the League and the Squad clashed on the shores of this small island nation, while Maxwell Lord and his band of sinister escapees did some evil plotting somewhere far off. The battle heats up (and cools down) in this week's Justice League vs. Suicide Squad #2. Now that everyone knows everyone, howzabout…
The Teen Titans are on the run! After a rough battle in the Birdcave, the team has flown the coop. Robin hopes to regroup and make a better showing next time, but the best solution may be far simpler—and far worse—than he had hoped. Major spoilers about the end of this issue ahead. More of…
"Fun" can be a dirty word these days. With a greater push for "grittier, grounded" stories and more "realistic" depictions of dudes who can fly and the living alien computers that seek to destroy them, the idea of just good old-fashioned enjoyable comics is... well, old-fashioned. I do not care. Comics are a form of…
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and that my Jewish friends are having a happy Hanukah! As with Thanksgiving, this was the first Christmas I spent with my family in ten years, so it was a special one! I got quite a few things, but I think my favorite gift may have been this…
