5 on New Suicide Squad #20 reviewWe’re treated to another issue of Seeley & Ferreyra’s New Suicide Squad, and all I can find myself thinking is, “Are we sure there’s not a way these two can continue this book, and manage their Rebirth titles at the same time?” Because, let’s face it… That would be awesome! This arc has focused on…
Just a couple of caveats before we get into the particulars of this book: With those two things in mind, let’s see what writer Van Jensen serves up in Central City: What Has Many Stories but No Book? So the Riddler has designs on Central City, but Flash is a bit of an obstacle. He…
Here we are at the final issue of Detective Comics' run for the New52...but it doesn't feel like a final issue. This story has no time for reflection or introspection. Jim doesn't reminisce about the past or contemplate where the future might take him. This story is just straight up full-throttle action throughout. I'm actually…
We have reached the end… Midnighter’s run comes to a close with this issue, and it genuinely makes me sad. When this title was announced, my knowledge of Midnighter was strictly compiled from his appearances in Grayson. Andrew pitched the book my way to review, and I was honestly hesitant. I didn’t dislike M as…
Every week Brian Buccellato has brought his A-game to Year Five of the Injustice series, and every two weeks we get a floppy issue of the Digital First content to have and to hold. In the history of DIgital Firsts, there’s been some huge successes and some not-so-great also-rans. Even though Injustice had a wobbly…
Today is Dennis O'Neil's 77th Birthday! 77 years? Isn't that how long Batman has been around? Indeed. As a matter of fact, both Dennis and Batman came into this world in May of 1939. It's almost as if Dennis was destined to be one of the most influential people in Batman's history. When Dennis first…
Ah…. May… I always loved the month of May when I was in grade school, because it meant that school year was almost over. Don’t get me wrong, I was one of those kids that actually liked school, but nothing beat summer break! It’s one of the things that sucks about being an adult… No…
DC Comics' "Rebirth" will bring redesigns of their major characters including Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman later this summer. Comic Book Resources has an exclusive look, including the new Batman design by Greg Capullo (art by Jim Lee, Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair). Check them out in the gallery below. Head on over to Comic…
Batman: Blink is a collection of two arcs about Lee Hyland, a man born blind who nonetheles sees more than the unimpaired. Originally appearing in Legends of the Dark Knight in 2002 and 2003, these stories focus on nobody criminals and unimaginative crimes--facts that actually work in this book's favor. What's included Inside the covers, you'll…
In a turn of events sure to shock no one at all, Wonder Girl's Aunt Cassandra reveals herself to be an evil, duplicitous villain. If you still care about this book after how poorly it's been handled, feel free to read on. If you don't (and I'm betting that's most of you), Rebirth is revamping…
The best way to describe Deathstroke, is fun and action packed! I typically refer to this title as the “summer blockbuster” because it reminds me of those big summer, action movies that are released each year. They’re usually not overtly deep, but they contain a lot of thrills and are quite entertaining. That’s pretty much…
There's nothing more exciting, than seeing the Justice League without a plan - basically, that is exactly what's happening in this issue. SO, up to now, we have established that Lady Styx has an ultimate plan of wiping out the entire planet and taking down the Justice League (obviously), but the Justice League are still…
Secret Six inches closer to its final issue, and with that comes the tying up of a lot of loose ends… and considering this title has consistently had issues with pacing, tone, and purpose (all of which were on top of numerous delays), I’m far from excited to tie up loose ends. Last month I…
I’ve gotten to the point where I dread reviewing Suicide Squad’s Most Wanted because Katana has been so bad. This reality is even more painful for me considering how much of a soft spot I have for her as a character, and I would honestly rather this book not exist, than be forced to sit…
The Gun... "Easy to get, easier to use. The problem with easy is always the same. You have no respect for it. You don't have to fight to earn it. Any superstitious coward can believe in its power. Stand on its shoulders and feel tall. But only the courageous stand in front of it defiant. …
Superman vs Superman! Wonder Woman vs Superman! Superman vs Ulysses (who?!?!)! Steve Trevor vs the same whiny jealousy he's battled since the start of The New 52! Do you love me, Clark? Last week, Clark passed the mantle of Lord Protector to his cousin Kara (Supergirl, for those who didn't know that--I know you're out there),…
Behold: a really good issue of Black Canary! If you've been reading my reviews, you may think that I love to hate this book, but that couldn't be further from the truth. It gives me nothing but joy to sing its praises now that we have a solid installment. A master martial artist and a ninja…
As much as I attempt to avoid it, there's really not much to discuss this month without going into spoiler territory, so I'll be speaking freely about the various events of this issue. If you want to go in completely fresh, go ahead and stop reading... ...now. I was discussing odds and ends with one…
Sound the alarms! Ring the bells! I’ve broken my rule for a second time, and I’ve given a book a perfect score! (In case you’re wondering, the previous instance was The Multiversity: Pax Americana.) Now you might be asking yourself, “What’s his rule?” My “rule” is that I don’t give books a score of 0…
This month’s issue features a sad Babs on the cover with her costume in the trash bin in perhaps what feels like an appropriate commentary on the whole redirection of this comic, but I’m going to back off from that remark because it’s pretty harsh and, well, even if this book has deserved some of…
