2 on Absolute Power: Task Force VII #4 reviewDC's Absolute Power: Task Force VII continues to explore the state of Amanda Waller's new enforcers. This time, we rejoin the sociopathic brain child of Chip Zdarsky's Batman of Zur-En-Arrh, Failsafe. Yet, Failsafe isn't just another one of Waller's obedient Amazo androids. Like the Batman Who Laughs, Failsafe is the latest horrifying inversion of everything…
Well well well. Here I was thinking it was 2024 but here we are back in 1988 with the release of Death In the Family: Robin Lives #2. Last month, we were given a surprisingly in-depth issue, examining the Dynamic Duo in a world where Jason Todd survived his attack at the hands of the…
Last Christmas, Batman and Santa Claus teamed up to defeat Krampus in Batman – Santa Claus: Silent Knight. It was a holiday special miniseries unlike any you'd likely seen before. Filled with Norse mythology, wild action, and hordes of demons, it was about as crazy as one could expect from the Yuletide season. Fans wanted…
Nearing the end of the series, Lanzing and Kelly decide to tie all their loose story threads into a bow. Instead of the seemingly random episodic format of the series, Outsiders finally frames its finale on the big picture. Just as soon as the team gets back together, Outsiders #10 puts them odds for the…
I’ve recently been spending a good deal of time with somebody who likes to describe things as “camp”. As in, a lot of things. At first, I had no idea what exactly he meant when he used the word. After my strategy of waiting around to see if any sort of pattern revealed itself failed,…
So here’s the much-awaited (?) sequel to the hit (?) mini-series DC vs. Vampires - the kind of cleverly named DC vs Vampires: World War V. While I was one of the few people who was initially ok with the liberties being taken in the first part for the sake of the story, even I…
Damian Wayne faces off against Ra's al Ghul in the fourth issue of what is shaping up to be one of the best miniseries about Batman’s son. Issue #4 recovers from a weaker third issue to deliver a strong emotional exploration of Robin’s struggle to fit into both his biological and chosen family. This is…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! It's another one of those weeks where almost everything is a bat book, so let's just dive right in and see what's in store! Upcoming Comics DC vs Vampires: World War V #1 The smash-hit series returns! It’s the dead of winter, and any hope for a fragile truce between…
Last month, I had plenty to say about the opening issue of this event. As far as I’m concerned that’s a good thing. But now as we reach the halfway point, with the remaining heroes joining forces to try and find a way to fight back, I’m left with not nearly as much to say……
Absolute Power is in full swing, and you know what that means: tie-ins! Last month only the backup was connected to the event, but now everything is related in some way or another to the plan to rid the world of superheroes. More specifically, Batman recruits Catwoman to help him steal a Mother Box from…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! The night is darkest just before the dawn, so last week's pittance of comics is now followed by a veritable deluge of bat books. Let's take a look: Upcoming Comics Gotham City Sirens #1 When a violent and highly illegal energy drink-sponsored hunting operation threatens the lives of wildlife and…
🎶And now the end is near. And so I face the final curtain🎶 Well, Jason’s latest mini-series - set before Gotham War, so ultimately, any developments here are rendered moot - comes to a close. My biggest complaints about this series were a) not using Jason enough despite him being the title character and b)…
If Amanda Waller was counting on her overpowered robots to win the day, she may have another thing coming. Following the so-called blitzkrieg in Absolute Power #1, Waller's Amazos continue to hunt down the world's metahumans. Like the others, Jadestone seeks to capture the members of the Justice Society of America. Unfortunately, once Jadestone gets…
Well, that was predictable, now wasn’t it, Officer Pulaski? Last month, a semi-rogue GCDP Detective tried to cut a deal with one Harley Quinn, hoping she’d trade information on the Bat-Family in exchange for punitive leniency for those inevitable moments when she traipses back over to the wrong side of the law. But Officer…
Artist and writer Rafael Grampá finally releases new information about his harrowing Batman adaptation, Gargoyle of Gotham. If readers have a hard time remembering this Black Label book, it is because the last issue came out December of last year! We should know, I reviewed it. At long last, Grampá reassures fans at #SDCC24 of its…
According to reports out of San Diego Comic-Con 2024, DC's World's Finest creative team will be taking on a brand new Justice League title. During their Absolute Power panel (Room 6DE), comic book writer Mark Waid and artist Dan Mora explain their plans after Absolute Power. Chief among them, is the announcement of a new Justice League in Justice League Unlimited.…
Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! Very few comics this week since it's the fifth comic day of the month, and therefor outside of the normal schedule for most series. Usually DC would fill weeks like this with specials and annuals (and there is one of those coming out) but I think everyone is probably so…
DC is returning to its classic bullet Logo it used from 1977 to 2005 across all forms of media from comics to movies. DC announced on Friday that it is returning to the classic Logo that most current fans grew up with. It was designed by Milton Glaser, the graphic designer who was a;so responsible for…
DC’s Absolute Power crossover event has kicked off and with Origins, this three-issue miniseries goes over the backstory of the event’s linchpin and main antagonist: Amanda Waller. Waller is on a warpath against heroes and vigilantes, and this series is suppose to explain her motivations. Does the first issue give a clear picture on why…
One of my recurring complaints about this series has been that it never quite managed to escape the shadow of its predecessor, making it feel like an unnecessary sequel. Superman: Space Age had already devoted plenty of time to its version of Batman. Does that change, or is Pariah going to show up for another…
