15 Years of Coverage (2010-2025)

There are rumblings in Titans Tower. Literal rumblings. Is it an earthquake? An explosion? Beast Boy's stomach? Alas, it is far worse: Starfire is sick with the Tameranean flu. This sets in motion the team's desire to help their friend get better. That's really about it, but hey, there are a few good laughs. My…
We’re roughly ten days away from SDCC, and I’m getting REALLY EXCITED! Andrew, Brandon, and I will be attending this year, and we’re starting to plan what we’ll cover throughout the weekend. At the moment, we are working with DC to schedule some interviews, and we should have the full schedule of SDCC events soon…
What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? This is the essential question at the heart of DC Comics/Dark Horse: Aliens, a universe-melding collection of crossovers that bring everyone's favorite family of cuddly, face-sucking, toothy-tongued xenomorphs into the worlds of Batman, Superman, and the WildC.A.T.S. Throw in some 14,000 year-old Predators and a few…
SCHHHWAAAAAY. This comic book just keeps getting better and better. I am in awe of what Jurgens has done with it and I applaud him for such a good story, that and the creative team for really capturing the essence of what it is to write a good comic book and the art to back…
Tom King takes it upon himself to introduce a new generation of Batman Fans to one of the oldest Batman stories ever told. And for that, I doff my cap to him. While I'm not 100% behind the idea of recycling and reusing past material, this book just presents way too many positives for me to…
That felonious feline Catwoman is in the clutches of the Cybermen* Cybernauts. Can the Dynamic Duo rescue her in time? Will agents Steed and Peel instead free the femme fatale? Does Chief O'Hara make a hasty judgement? Will we see which rogue is behind the sudden onslaught of rigidly robust robot men? The answers to these…
Last issue we were promised a battle royale between father and son as Batman and Damian face off over the fate of Victor Zsasz after a heinous murder that has left the Bat Family reeling. We get the bonus of watching Batman and Superman once again come to blows in what almost feels like a…
Superman is dead. The Justice League lives, but how can it go on without its brightest, most hopeful hero? Can they turn to the new Superman on the scene? Can they trust him? Will he even help? Something is clearly missing. As yet another force seeks to destroy or enslave the people of Earth, the…
For my fellow Americans, I want to wish you all a happy 4th of July! If you plan on setting off fireworks, be safe! And no drinking and driving, because that would make Batman sad. In other news, I was OVERJOYED to learn that Midnighter would make his return in October! Following up on Midnighter,…
Two things: first off, this was released on Free Comic Book Day back in May, so the "Back Issue Review" tag may be a stretch, but eh, whatever. Second, this is a book aimed at young girls, which is fantastic, but I am neither young nor am I a girl, so it's safe to say…
The final volume of the original The Batman Adventures series is here, collecting the final run of issues and a few one-shots and annual's for good measure. Like previous installments, it's a great collection by itself and a perfect introduction to both Batman and the classic animated series. The first issue in the collection is…
When the storytelling is focused, it's amazing how even a faltering story can turn around to become a massive entertainment. Such is the case with The Dark Knight III #5, which is light on dialogue but serves up some pretty exciting set-pieces in spades. None too soon either, as the 8-part series has just now…
Agent 37 is back for one four last final adventures before he makes his long-awaited return as Nightwing. Now, I know that Grayson didn't end the way most of us wanted it to, but at least it was an enjoyable ride up to the very end. Lanzing and Kelly team up one last time to send Agent 37…
Scott Lobdell returns to Teen Titans. That might be enough to make most of you turn tail and run. If I weren't reviewing this for you, the fair citizens of the Internet, I would likely never give this annual a look, and certainly not for $4.99. Thankfully (I guess?), I am reviewing it, so I have…
Warning: The next paragraph is only slightly humorous if you read it with an Australian accent that resembles Steve Irwin’s… and even then, it’s still slightly stupid. We’ve encountered a rare, magical specimen known as the fifth Wednesday! Thought to be just a legend, we now have proof that fifth Wednesdays do, in fact, exist,…
If you're a Batman fan, chances are good that you're also a Paul Dini fan. Batman: The Animated Series, Detective Comics, Rocksteady's Arkham franchise—even Harley Quinn herself—all are properties where Dini has left his mark. But even if you're coming to this book without those contextual markers, I dare you to read Dark Night: A True…
Since the beginning, I’ve found Deathstroke to be a rather enjoyable book. Under Tony S. Daniel, it was incredibly violent and depicted with quite a bit of realism, but the edge fit. This is the world’s greatest assassin after all. As the Rebirth train started coming into play, the title shifted from Daniel to James…
After the crazy antics from Harley that we had last month, I seriously didn't think it could get any funnier, but boy was I proven wrong from Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti. Typically, Boots reviews Harley Quinn, but I couldn't pass it up, when she wasn't going to be able to and asked if any other…
On the very first page, we are greeted by this comment from Suren Darga. And I have to admit, it made me laugh pretty hard. Was this meant as a meta-comment by Ray Fawkes, or am I simply reading my own feelings into it? I'm not sure, but either way, I don't understand why this…
It’s the final issue of Suicide Squad’s Most Wanted: Deadshot/ Katana, and I’m stoked to see how Buccellato wraps up Deadshot. As for Katana, if I could get away without reading or reviewing it, I would be one happy man. But alas, that didn’t happen. This month, Katana is the leading story, but since I…
