3 on Injustice: Year Five #20 reviewWhoohoo! So this is it! Brian Buccellato brings Year Five to a crashing close in the only way it really can end: a final full-stakes confrontation between Batman and Superman and the trigger that puts the events of the video game in motion. “The Final Gambit” and “Real Justice” (Digital Firsts 39 & 40) is…
This comic gets my official pick as the best issue of Batman since Tom King took on the character. This story has sooo much going for it, it's ridiculous: An amazing opening that mirrors a classic yet often forgotten story, references galore, great cameos, and the use of obscure characters. But hey, that's hardly everything. …
“Undercover Punker Part 2: The Skull Bags Big Snag” gives us our first glimpse of what a Harley-based punk group would look like. Along with Red Tool on bass, Big T on guitar, and Eggy on drums, GG and the Skull Bags makes their debut to a mostly surly audience. I was actually pleased that…
*WARNING : SPOILERS openly discussed below* Come gather 'round, children, and I'll tell you a tale. A tale of men and super-men, big and small. A tale of legends reborn and made new. A tale of gods among men, and men among gods. A tale of warrior princesses, orphan sons, and all of the rest…
The long night of the monster men is over, and Nightwing is back in fine form. I won't trash that event, even though I felt it lacking on almost all levels, and I am glad that Tim Seeley doesn't outright brush it aside as if it never happened. The references to it, though small and…
After an awkward dinner in issue one, Clark, Diana, and Bruce took an evening stroll. Much to their surprise, they encountered a scene quite familiar to Superman but that had no business taking place in the present. What's up in the White family barn? Trinity #2 has the answer. Manapul knows what he's doing As…
Infected with fear after a battle with a mysterious foe, the Justice League has gone a bit haywire. As Lantern Cruz regresses toward her prior cowardice, Superman decides it's time to have a heart-to-heart with Batman—or at the very least, murder him in his cave. Will fear prevail and finish tearing this team apart? Answers—maybe—in…
I’m in Texas now, and I get the keys to my new apartment on Wednesday! Until then, I’m staying at my parents’ place. Most of you are probably thinking, “What? You’re staying with your folks? That’s got to be rough.” But actually, it’s not too bad… Well… Except for their dog. This dog is the…
I'm dipping my feet into graphic novel reviews, and I'm going to focus on some of Batman's greatest allies. To kick things off, I figured I would start with Tim Drake. This might seem like an odd place to start - I mean, any sensible person would start with Nightwing or Batgirl - but considering…
DC's "Young Animals" imprint, spearheaded by My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way, is an initiative to look at some of the... stranger parts of the DC Universe. While the other titles in the line have resurrected and reimagined existing concepts (Doom Patrol, Shade the Changing Girl, and front-runner for coolest name Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic…
The Justice League, Earth's greatest heroes, will meet those Angel Grove teenagers with attitude the Power Rangers in a newly announced crossover coming this January. I could wax poetic about how crazy/great/awesome this sounds, but I'll let the press release speak for itself: "Will the Rangers be able to save Zack from Batman?" is an…
Suicide Squad has turned into one wild ride! While the first issue made me a little nervous, every issue since then has proven that the debut was just a fluke. This chapter does drop a little in quality compared to the previous two issues, but it's still a good, fun read! If you haven't been…
Gotham Academy Second Semester is so all over the place that it's difficult to decide where to even start. In and of itself, this is little more than setup for events to come. And while it's important to lay groundwork for the story ahead, it feels very disjointed and unnatural in it's presentation. Maybe even…
Oh Batgirl & the Birds of Prey, I just don’t know how to feel about you! I love the idea of you and there are moments when I genuinely enjoy you, but then there are times when I wonder what your actual goal is in this universe. Birds… Don’t take this the wrong way, but…
There's nothing wrong with this installment. It's tonally consistent with the rest of the series, the writing and illustrations are as good as you'd expect, and it feels like Batman '66 Meets Steed and Mrs. Peel should. There isn't much to dislike here. In fact, there isn't much here period. This is the briefest, breeziest…
The final chapter of "Night of the Monster Men" has arrived, and wouldn't you know it, now it decides to start getting good. Seriously?!? I've waded through all this monster goo to make it this far , and it's nice to finally be rewarded in some small way, but couldn't we have had more of…
Batman and Two-Face edge ever closer to their destination in All-Star Batman #3, while a deeper history between the two is revealed. After the zig-zagging narrative and outright zaniness of the first two issues, it's nice to have a little breather. That's just what this issue is: it's slow. It's pretty straightforward. It's even a…
Christopher Priest has accomplished something great with Deathstroke: he's balanced the ideas of a road trip, a family drama, and the exploration of a supervillain's inner psyche to create a genuinely gripping comic series. Even more surprising? He's made me care about Slade Wilson. Deathstroke has always been one of those villains that I've appreciated…
After Artemis gives him a savage beating with everyone's favorite blunt instrument—the truth—Jason Todd comes face to face with a truly terrifying prospect: a clone of the world's most powerful being in the hands of Black Mask. Why Bizarro? Before Jason or Artemis can do a thing, Black Mask shows up and gasses them. But…
I was at New York Comic Con this past Saturday, and as my day drew to its early close, I sat down with Teen Titans and Green Arrow writer Benjamin Percy to talk about the Titans. Along the way, we touched on such diverse topics as how one ought to pronounce the name of Damian…
