13 on March 2017 SolicitationsAs we wrap up 2016, we get a glimpse for how we’ll end the first quarter of 2017 with DC’s March solicitations! There are a couple of things that really excite me (Detective Comics, Nightwing, Batman Beyond) and others that I really hope improve (Batman). I guess only time will tell… Alright, let’s get to…
He's baaaack! No doubt disappointed by the events of Death of the Family, the Joker returns to Gotham with a vengeance, determined to wreck Batman and his beloved city for good. Faced with his own mortality, and the seeming immortality of his greatest foe, the Dark Knight pulls out all the stops in the showdown…
After defeating the monster at the center of the dungeon, our brave heroes sail off into the sunset on a bubblegum boat and live happily ever after. Oh...you think I'm kidding... For the last several weeks I've gone through a gamut of emotions over the current story arc, "I am Suicide". Anger, confusion, sadness, and…
Harley rings in the holiday with a special all her own (in case you actually missed her front and center in the regular DC Rebirth Holiday Special). And somehow the schtick of Harley wandering off in her dreams/hallucinations hasn’t gotten old under the pen of Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti. This go-round Harley is knocked…
We've followed DC's Big Three through dinner, farmland, and the big, cruel city. Lost loved ones and lost innocence added bitterness to the sweetness of reunion. The illusions of this journey began to crack in Gotham, and as the road leads on toward Themyscira and Diana's deepest longings, our heroes must work to discern the…
Let me tell you about the new best villain ever, the Pigeon. The Pigeon and her sidekick Defacer were once apprehended by Batman and Robin. Their crime? The self-described "art terrorists" would steal famous statues and landmarks and deface them with graffiti. Yes, the Pigeon ruins statues. Just... let it sink in. It's a silly,…
I thought Harley’s narrative in the last issue was merely a device to introduce Ground Zero to audiences that maybe skipped a year or two (or all) in the Injustice saga. But the fact that she’s back at it again in this second issue makes me wonder if maybe she’s here to stay. Structurally it…
The Justice League got to the bottom of the mysterious hacks that had been wreaking havoc on their systems. But before anyone could start celebrating, a generous assortment of villains showed up to finish wrecking the day. How will the League overcome this multitude of mal-intenders? Find out in Justice League #11, as "Outbreak" concludes!…
The first major crossover event of the Rebirth era has arrived! As we saw at the end of the first Batman arc, the Dark Knight has plenty of justification for disliking Amanda Waller. And so when the League learns that the Wall's Task Force X is mixing it up in the island nation of Badhnisia, they rush…
Christmas and Hanukah are less than a week away! The season has me like: Fear gas on roses and Catwoman’s kittens, Joker spray toxin and all of Bane’s venom, The JLA meets as Black Canary sings, These are a few of my favorite things. Purple caped ladies and Damian’s doodles, Robins and Bat Cows and…
The New 52 run on Batman is best known for its big story arcs: Court of Owls, Death of the Family, Zero Year, Endgame, and Superheavy. These five stories (largely) carried the Dark Knight through five years and brought much critical acclaim. Yet, there are a number of smaller, simpler tales that found their way into the run. Some were…
“Going Sane – Part 4: I Believe In Miracles” You know what I like about Suicide Squad? You can count on it to be one hell of a fun read! Rob Williams and Jim Lee have crafted a story that I look forward to reading each and every time an issue is released. The action…
In the most recent issue of Batman, Tom King chose to include a scene in which a 10 year old Bruce Wayne explains how he attempted to commit suicide before changing his mind and instead choosing to take on the role of Batman. I took immense displeasure in the idea. After posting my review for…
Over the years I’ve come to expect that these Holiday Specials will likely have a couple of really great stories, a couple of pretty good ones, and at least one outright stinker. They went with a different formula this time around, and I think I liked it better: 10 shorter stories (some of them literally…
Batgirl, Black Canary, and Huntress are now face-to-face with Oracle. It’s what we were promised in the previous issue, but never received. I’m well aware that some people will like what takes place in this issue, but I’m definitely not one of those people. The same problems that have plagued Batgirl and the Birds of…
Previously in Detective Comics, Batman and his band of allies have been squaring off against the Victim Syndicate—a group of enhanced assailants who share an unfortunate categorization: they are, each of them, victims of the collateral damage caused by Batman's crusade. When we left off at the end of Detective Comics #945, the Syndicate had infiltrated the…
Things have been strange in Gotham Academy lately. I don't just mean the school, either, as things have always been strange there. No, this title has been in a bit of a tough spot recently, and it's difficult to pinpoint exactly why. Aside from a few changes, the celebrated creative team stayed mostly intact, and…
These title cards are awesome. In fact, the whole visual aesthetic of this series is pretty outstanding so far. Save for a few notable exceptions, I downright love the look of this crossover and will keep insisting that Jon Sommariva be given a new animated series-style Batman book and soon. It's a match that makes…
If you're just joining us, Jason Todd is having a bad day. Black Mask has injected Bizarro with a techno-organic virus, and now the crime lord can control the imperfect super-clone with his mind. How am Red Him going to get out of this one? Mild spoilers ahead. A big fight, a big axe, and a…
So… Christmas is roughly ten days away. I should probably wrap up my Christmas shopping today or Thursday considering it will be my last chance. And of course, the people that I still need to shop for are the ones that I have no idea what to get them… So I’ll probably end up procrastinating…
