49 on Superman #10 reviewTomasi and Gleason did not create Damian Wayne, but they perfected him in Batman and Robin. And they did not create Jon Kent, but they are already setting a high standard for him in Superman. So what happens when the most dynamic duo in the comics industry brings together the sons of the World's Finest heroes? Spoilers follow.…
We are once again at the beginning of a new arc. Justice League has been a rocky ride thus far, and so I approached this issue grateful for the fresh start, and hopeful that Hitch might at last turn things around and look like the very capable writer I came to appreciate with JLA. So how…
I hope everyone had a happy and safe Halloween! I worked last night, but saw plenty of trick-or-treaters last night. There were a TON of Harley Quinns, and plenty of Batmen and Batgirls, but surprisingly very few Jokers. I love Halloween, and nothing makes me happier than to see kids who are excited to dress…
Every parent wants the best for their children, and as Batfans, we know that the best is Batman. But what if your four-year-old isn't ready for Arkham Asylum? Surely, there must be a way to indoctrinateeducate our little Girl and Boy Wonders that doesn't involve night terrors and a premature distrust of clowns (but seriously, you should…
This is Batman Beyond’s first issue since Rebirth, and it’s a bit of mixed bag. I don’t think the issue is bad, but there are definitely a number of aspects that don’t work in the book’s favor. Ironically, there isn’t anything particularly negative about the issue itself that causes me to think this. Instead, the…

Art by Ivan Reis, Joe Prado, and Marcelo Maiolo Source: IGN Justice League of America adds two ninjas and a bastich! Vixen, Killer Frost, the Atom, and the Ray were revealed a few weeks ago, but since then, fan speculation about the rest of the roster has been in high gear. At last, the guessing…

The penultimate chapter is here, chums, and our heroes have found themselves in yet another quandary. Faced with hordes of Cybernauts, Batman, Robin, Steed and Peel must work together to stop Michaela Gough's rampage. It's difficult to judge this installment on its own merits, because it's all build-up for the final chapter. Gone are the…
The more I read Rob Williams’ Suicide Squad, the more I wish he would helm the upcoming Justice League vs Suicide Squad crossover. I’ve greatly enjoyed his work so far, and feel that he’s doing a great job of balancing the various tones of the book brilliantly. Yes, the stories are shorter, but that isn’t…
On Monday I was returning home from a weekend trip on a 4 hour flight. I spent the majority of the flight napping, and every time I would wake, I glanced at the show someone was watching in the seat in front of me. It looked like the most boring thing ever created. All I…
We’re in Part 4 of the “Beyond Burnside” arc and all the elements of the story that Hope Larson has been setting up are coming together. We’ve met Schoolgirl early on, but now it’s time to meet Teacher--and Teacher has some very curious surprises! First off, though I want to draw some attention to the…
Not every book needs to include Batman. If you are going to include Batman, make sure you use him well. And if you aren't going to use him well, at least make the story memorable. Preferably with ninjas or something. -Ancient proverb Up to this point, Deathstroke has been a lot of things: a psychological…
Last month, Robin (son of Batman) went and found himself some folks to play with. One by one, he took down Beast Boy, Starfire, Raven, and Kid Flash with ease, and then finally revealed himself and his intimidating associate Goliath to the lot of them. Teen Titans #1 picks up right where we left off,…
The day has finally come! My stuff arrives today! I’ll be able to sit on my couch, watch my tv, sleep in my bed! I’ll have my desk so I can sit and write these posts and reviews in peace, rather than try to write while balancing my laptop on the arm of a couch,…
Comic book lettering is perhaps the most under-appreciated creative position in the industry. Every other element on the page can be understood consciously—you like the way the line art or the color looks, you enjoy the dialogue. Even if there are subtleties and subtexts, there's typically something anyone can understand on the surface. But lettering,…
I’ve been in a bit of a black hole lately. I’m living out of a suitcase at the moment, and my phone doesn’t get a signal at my parents’ house, so every time I go into town, I get flooded with text messages and voicemails. I sat down today to start pulling together this week’s…

In that fifty years, they had introduced such characters as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and the Flash, as well as Robin, the template for any and all young sidekicks, and the premier super-teams the Justice…
Proving that all-ages comics can be as sharp as they are charming, the team of Art Baltazar and Franco return with Super Powers. Following the highly successful and genuinely great Tiny Titans and Superman Family Adventures, Super Powers follows Superman and Wonder Woman as they try to locate Batman, who has mysteriously disappeared. Into outer…
Previously, in Teen Titans Go!... The team was presented with the opportunity to appear in their own TV show. What would it be? A hard-hitting drama? A nostalgic throwback cartoon?
