21 on Upcoming Comics: March 23, 2016I almost feel like this week should be considered “DC Week!” While I will openly admit that I’m only semi-excited about the comics being released this week, we are getting some big things from DC! For starters, Friday is the release of Batman v Superman. I do have some reservations about the quality of the…
Some of the best Batman stories I've read deal with Bruce Wayne's response to failure. Whether it's the loss of a Robin, the loss of mobility, or the loss of a Robin, watching Batman come to terms with his own fallibility tends to make for good reading. Batman: Venom considers the lengths to which the…
The final installment of the “Allies and Enemies” storyline (Digital Firsts 28, 29, and 30) sees the culmination of the fight between Wonder Woman and the Baroness and a Catwoman/ Huntress / Batwoman team-up against the dark side rising (with a crucial assist from Zatanna and Constantine the Cottontail). If you’ve been following along with…
The BatFamily continue to fight an uphill battle against Mother, while she attempts to convert one of their own. We all know that the BatFamily will win in the end (that's just how comics work)....but at what cost? This is some stuff right out of Portal! If you don't know what I am talking about...shame…
Cat's TidBits: Mr. Twister has gotten ahold of Malcolm and all sorts of things are happening now. Trusting each other is a big thing, especially when there's a traitor... Want to guess who? I seriously can't get enough of this comic book. Probably one of my top favorites at the moment; Hmm, I always think…
Cat's TidBits: Dr. Grimley's murder is now under investigation and Poison Ivy's sporelings are starting to show their abilities, but can she convince the investigators that she wasn't the cause of the murders? This story keeps on getting more interesting by the minute; Dr. Pamela Isley at this point has no idea that her best…
Come June, DC will be launching their newest campaign..."Rebirth". As it stands now, "Son of Batman" will not be surviving this transitional period. Given that the book will not be carrying forward past issue #12, it makes me wonder just how relevant this final story arc could truly be. After all, if they had somewhere…
You know what I want? I want my $2.99 back. Stop being such a downer It would be a misinterpretation of the facts to say that I have been unkind to Black Canary. "Unkind" implies that I have failed to attribute some good to that which possesses it, or attributed bad to that which does not. I have…
One of my favorite things about Year Five so far is the epic fight sequences: both purposeful and exquisitely executed. I’m not typically a reader who enjoys a whole comic of people just beating on each other, but when it moves the story and it’s dramatically more interesting than just characters endlessly trading blows, I…
Bring on the fill-in creative teams! We started seeing this last week, but it appears to be occurring with more and more books at the moment. So… If you thought I was unmotivated by the current titles before, be prepared because it’s only going to get worse… While some titles will most likely end their…
Cat's TidBits: H.I.V.E. is the least of the concerns when it comes to Red Hood and Arsenal doing their thing; We have Joker's Daughter who's currently in therapy to see if she's even a suitable candidate to be on their team. Can she pass the psychological exam? Lobdell brings us back to another story of…
Catwoman reaches its 50th issue, and because of that, we’re graced with an extra-sized issue! This is also the conclusion to Tieri’s current story, so I was excited to see that he had some additional pages to wrap things up, because, quite frankly, he needed it… So imagine my disappointment when I discovered that the…
I'm just going to cut right to the chase. Was this issue good? Yes. Was it as good as the first two parts? Absolutely not! Now join me for the breakdowns. This story starts out just as strong as the previous installments. Gordon and Bullock are following a trail of clues with seemingly no connection,…
Talking, talking, talking, and more talking. This entire issue is essentially the set-up for the finale. It does a perfectly adequate job of informing us of who the players are, what is at stake, and what has to be done. I'm sure that when read collectively it will be more entertaining, but standing on its…
After delivering an impressive debut, Tim Seeley and Juan Ferreyra take another stab at New Suicide Squad, and once again, they don’t disappoint! This creative team is the best to cover the Squad since Ales Kot and Patrick Zircher (although, Steve Orlando and ACO have an outstanding interpretation in Midnighter at the moment as…
I love great character moments in comics. Huge action scenes and well-staged fights are great when executed properly, but something that makes you feel for the characters you're reading about? Things that make you understand a previous event or appreciate new connections made between characters? That's something special. The reader has to care enough to want…
Cat's TidBits: A couple of wars going on, but the real issue here is the betrayal of a few known allies that are now coming to light. We have the 'wonders' trying to figure out how to deal with this new Earth, Batman trying to take down Nimbus, and Hawkgirl uncovering the Amazonian's secret. Can…

More than simple marketing gimmicks, these four minis feature creators whose names comic fans will recognize, and self-contained stories that…
