17 on Superman #51 reviewThere's always a job for Superman It's 2016, and DC's enormous Rebirth initiative looms close on the horizon. During the months of April and May, Pete Tomasi and an assortment of artists will be taking over all of the Superman titles for "Super League", an eight-part crossover event which should lead us right into Rebirth and a…
Best Cover: Q-1 2016 It’s that time of year! Each week you’ve been voting on your favorite cover in our Upcoming Comics post, and now we’re bringing those winners together into one poll to decide which comics will compete in our Best Cover of 2016 at the end of the year. I guess you can…
Happy April! I was talking to Jay this past week, and he brought up something that I had actually forgotten about. Back when the new review team took over, I let a month or two pass, then I asked you (our readers) which Bat characters we (the review team) reminded you of! The moment he…
With every day, and from both sides of my intelligence, the moral and the intellectual, I thus drew steadily nearer to that truth, by whose partial discovery I have been doomed to such a dreadful shipwreck: that man is not truly one, but truly two. R.L. Stevenson, from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Hello, Harvey.…
Have they been abandoned? It's been more than two months since the release of Justice League of America #8. While Bryan Hitch has crafted an intriguing conflict with excellent characters, his DC You hit has been plagued by delays since its early days (if you remember, issue 5 was so delayed that we ended up getting a…
Batman&Robin Eternal has come to it's ultimate end, and while nothing here is unenjoyable, it's also nothing more than mediocre. For a single issues, it actually has a lot going for it. Plenty of action, further investigation into the thematic nature of the story, and a couple of genuinely unexpected surprises. Unfortunately, it also feels…
June 2016 Solicitations The Rebirth news continues to flow as DC releases their solicitations for June 2016! Most of the titles for June are carry over from the New 52 DCYOU, but there are a few glimpses into what’s to come as the first Rebirth titles start hitting shelves. If you missed our previous posts…
What a weekend! Batman v Superman was released and is performing well at the box office. DC held a press conference at Wonder Con announcing details and creative teams for their Rebirth event launching in May – there appears to be some really good stuff in the works, so check out our recap if you…
Earlier today, DC Comics held a panel at Wondercon and rolled out details for the upcoming slate of comics following May's 80-page Rebirth special. And boy, are there a lot of Bat-family titles. Geoff Johns, Jim Lee, and Dan DiDio took the stage to give details of the upcoming totally not a reboot, and in doing…
To a modern fan, Batman in the Seventies might seem unappealing. If you've been weaned on the New 52 approach to the Dark Knight, this book will likely seem almost as foreign as the famous Batman television show from the 60's. If that's you, don't be discouraged. With an open mind, I'm confident you'll come away at least entertained, and at…
The BatFamily continue to fight an uphill battle against Mother, while she attempts to convert one of their own. If that sounds familiar to you, it's because it is the exact same intro I used on last week's review. Why would I do that? Because it felt like the same comic again! We get another…
In a week filled with stories involving complete world subjugation and city wide annihilation, I can't tell you how refreshing it is to have a down to earth story tell a simple tale of gang violence that simultaneously displays genuine character development. Even without the comparisons at hand, I'd still be touting this story arc…
We’re at the halfway point of Suicide Squad’s Most Wanted! If you’re wondering what’s in store for you, it’s more of the same! Deadshot continues to tell an intriguingly dark story, while Katana babbles along like a bushido Amanda Bynes. First up out of the two stories, is Deadshot! Thank God! I didn’t realize this…
Cat's TidBits: Now that our Justice League is into hiding and trying to find ways to take down Lady Styx and the Scullions, we're having to also figure out how to deal with Eclipso. Just when I was slightly giving up on this comic book, I read this upcoming picture that I'm going to post and…
Well Harley has kicked the Joker to the curb, lost her squeeze, and is on her way back to Coney Island to get back into her overstuffed routine of managing her gang, working at the hospital, and roller-derbying to pay the bills. “A New Day, a New Fray” pretty much sums up life in the…
Cat's TidBits: Phew! Deathstroke is out to find his daughter, but can he succeed with Red Hood on his back to hurt him? And who exactly hired Red Hood to beat the hell out of Deathstroke and slow him down in the process of finding Ravager? Ah! So much action. And I'm loving every bit…
As today neared, I began to mentally prepare myself for the climax of SuperHeavy. Multiple factors were converging to make this one of the most hyped and anticipated issues in recent memory. Not only was this the finale to the 10 month long story arc that had been going on since last June. Not only…
League of Assassins. Court of the Owls. Lady Shiva vs Strix. What should have been the best martial arts fight of the year… unfortunately turns into an attempt at comedy clashed with a poorly executed act of selflessness… At this point, I’ve pretty much given up on what’s left of this book. I was really…
Can I trust you, Robin? Before Greg Pak came aboard for last month's Teen Titans #17, several readers (and reviewers, if I remember correctly) were saying that what this title needed more than anything was a break. Pull the plug for a few months (or longer), let folks get the bad taste out of their mouths,…
Creative teams change all the time. You can read a book for years and go through dozens of names on the credits page, especially in the constantly shifting world of superhero comics. Extended runs from a single team are not at all unheard of, as evidenced by the relatively uninterrupted stint (minus an issue or…
