43 on August 2016 SolicitationsDC is officially stating that Suicide Squad is dominating August… but they should really just say that Harley Quinn is dominating August. Let’s look at it this way, there will be four Suicide Squad titles getting released this month (Suicide Squad Rebirth, Suicide Squad #1, Suicide Squad’s Most Wanted, and Suicide Squad War Crimes). It’s…
DC Comics revealed a redesigned logo today that is "the perfect tribute to DC’s legacy, exciting future and most importantly, our fans," according to Amit Desai, DC Entertainment Senior Vice President of Marketing and Global Franchise Management. The new logo will begin appearing on DC's digital properties and social media channels immediately, and will make its…
Is it just me, or is 2016 flying by? I can’t believe we’re already halfway through May! It’s crazy! On a positive note, that means summer is right around the corner, and that Comic Con will be here before we know it! And considering we’ll be in the middle Rebirth’s launch, I bet SDCC will…
Harley Quinn continues to go off with a big bang from where we left off last issue on Harley Quinn and Her Gang of Harleys. Because the members from Harley's gang all come from a different background, this comic book is exactly what we needed to bring different issues that we continue to encounter in today's society.…
Set in the larger Batman Reborn storyline, Hush Money collects a two-issue Detective-Batman crossover called Faces of Evil, as well as the first four issues of the Streets of Gotham series. What's included Faces of Evil Our tale opens on Hush, who prepares to end it all two months after trying--and failing--to take down Bruce once and for all. His plan was two-pronged:…
How would you like to read the riveting, inspirational story of a Depression-era Italian immigrant boy who emerges from the fire of his father's death stronger, wiser, and morally resolute? Before I lose my seven readers, what if I told you that the fire is not metaphorical, that it came from an actual, real-life dragon,…
AH! I actually had fun reading this comic book... for once. Lobdell has fun with this comic book by incorporating social media into JD's master plan (accompanied by the Iron Rule) to take down Red Hood and Arsenal. Mostly Arsenal though, since he's the one in the chair being beaten up with the camera on…
The war continues in our new Earth, as Captain Steel and Power Girl attempt to put things in order by trying to save the human race, but things don't always go according to plan. Not a fan of all the monologues we had in this issue, but at least it did get the job done. Power…
We've reached the final chapter of the Yearbook story arc, which is also the final issue of Gotham Academy. While the book is being picked up again in 4 months, consequently meaning this isn't really the end, we still need to ask whether or not this was a worthwhile ending to the first volume of…
It’s issue #52, and with this issue, Catwoman comes to a close in the New 52. This title has seen its ups and downs throughout the course of this run, with the best moments coming from Genevieve Valentine, and the worst moments coming from Anne NOcenti. In between these two runs, we’ve been graced with…
The Trinity, Lois Lane, and Superflare converge on Salinas, California and create a present crisis for the pre-Flashpoint Superman! Plus, young Jon Kent shares his secrets for making delicious pancakes--for dinner! All of this, and a little bit more, awaits you in Action Comics #52! It's starting again. Last week's Batman/Superman #32 saw Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman…
This issue collects the second half of the “Battle of Britain” from Digital Firsts 34, 35, and 36. Last time we saw Mera, Wonder Woman, Supergirl and Stargirl all convening in London as it was overrun with creepy crawlers from the Tenebrae and the depths of the ocean, including the horrifically-tentacled Kraken, sent by King…
James Tynion IV will be taking over writing duties for Detective Comics as part of DC's new Rebirth campaign coming in June. I'm most familiar with Tynion as co-scripter along with Scott Snyder for the books Batman/Batman&Robin Eternal. To me, this seems like one of the first stories where Tynion is not only out from…
I'm conflicted. On the one hand, the transformation of Arkham inmates into animals is almost overwhelmingly silly, even by the standards of both of these properties. It's not a deal breaker, but as much as I love comic book goofiness, even this is pushing it. Then again, Bane is now an elephant. Forget reading that;…
This was fine. Perfectly, utterly fine. A few chuckles, yet nothing that's overwhelmingly great or aggressively bad. Just... fine. When the Titans have their powers swapped by Mumbo Jumbo, they have to adjust to their newfound abilities so as to take the villain down. It goes about as well as you'd expect. Fridolfs has a…
More books are coming to a “close” this week as we creep closer to Rebirth. We will be saying goodbye to the likes of Batman/ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Catwoman this week, so enjoy every page you can get of those books before they’re “gone.” I’m personally counting down the days until Rebirth, and…
Batman: Impostors, a tie-in to the Gotham City Impostors video game, spanned the four issues of Detective Comics immediately preceding Scott Snyder's celebrated Black Mirror run. Fans expecting some sort of tonal continuity between Impostors and what follows will likely be disappointed, but how does it fare on its own? Read on, my friends. What's included This volume contains Detective Comics…
Just a friendly reminder: the annual Free Comic Book Day is upon us this Saturday, May 7th. Beginning in 2002, the first Saturday of May has been recognized as a day where different publishers release free materials to find new readers, provide a sampling of their product, and most importantly to encourage visiting a local…
This is a nice change, as Jurgens introduces us to Bruce Wayne in Batman Beyond's Wired for Death Part One. We get to see some backstory to what we've been following for the past couple of issues now; Bruce Wayne was training Terry McGinnis and for obvious reasons, giving him a hard time about it.…
What happens when the Trinity heads to China to track down a solar flare with an identity crisis? What does a Chinese Justice League look like? These questions (and more!) are answered in this week's Batman/Superman #32, as Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman continue to investigate a dangerous new threat, with Superman's impending death looming subtly…
