Let’s be direct for a minute. If you’re reading this review, then you’re probably already reading Justice League at the moment… So I doubt you’re here to see if this issue is worth picking up, and you’re actually here to just discuss the issue… But IF you’re not reading Justice League at the moment… ……
As an event, Convergence may have been a bust, but it managed to pull off quite a remarkable feat: it made tie-ins worth reading. In fact, it could be argued that the real joy in the event wasn't the main title itself, but seeing beloved characters back on the page once more, having new adventures…
When I saw, months ago, that Greg Pak would be writing Teen Titans for a few issues, I allowed myself a measure of cautious optimism. While far from my favorite writer, Pak at least entertains, and at times he has even managed to delight me. So now that Teen Titans #17 has hit the stands, how did…
Think back to when it was first announced that Dick Grayson would become a spy following the events of Forever Evil. What were your thoughts and feelings? Relief? Confusion? "Way to spoil the ending, guys"? Personally, I was just glad he was going to live to see another day, as he's been one of my…
The origin of Mother, paired with some of the best Batman snippets I've seen in months. Do I really need to say anything else? I don't think so....but I'm going to. Batman isn't even the main course of this particular chapter, but he completely steals the show as far as I'm concerned. Every single piece…
It's been a while since we've checked in with the Dark Knight universe, so a bit of a recap may be in order: in the surprisingly decent* debut, we were reintroduced to the world that was established in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns and kind of reminded of a few things from but mostly glossed…
Like a lot of folks, my first experience with The Dark Knight in film was Tim Burton's 1989 Batman. I cannot recall whether or not I saw it in the theater (I was, after all, the tender age of six), but I do remember it being an exciting part of my childhood once my grandmother got ahold…
We have some really good books to look forward to this week! I had a difficult time doing my ranking for this week, and have basically decided that it’s a three way tie for the top spot between Justice League, Batman & Robin Eternal, and Grayson. And then barely trailing behind those titles, we have…
The journey to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice has been a long one, but the wait is finally over. Now that the film's release is just a little over a month away, the promotional game has kicked into high gear to sate everyone's appetite while we wait for the film to premiere. From surprisingly…
As I've grown up, I've learned that your best friends are often the ones that are aware of, and accept, your special kind of crazy. That's what this book reminds me of at times: that odd relationship that I have with my closest friends. Each of these characters are a little off their rocker (or…
The feeling of a summer blockbuster, but with actual heart and character growth. In case you haven't been following Eternal, Mother is trying to take control of Spyral's orbiting satellite in order to broadcast her hypnotic signal world wide. This will enslave Earth's children to her bidding and cement her as supreme ruler over the…
Cat's TidBits: We finally get some answers! The Titans are back on the hunt to find out what has been haunting them, memories that they can't seem to remember and Mr. Twister is only getting started. Things are finally stirring up and revealing themselves to be one crazy rollercoaster ride. Can I just quickly point out…
The mystery is over! After weeks of teasing, DC Comics and Geoff Johns revealed the first details of "Rebirth" today. As promised, it's not a reboot -- but rather an initiative to bring back what fans have been missing from DC Comics in recent years. Check out the exclusive CBR video featuring Geoff Johns above,…
Cat's TidBits: Dr. Pamela Isley is trying to figure out the culprit of Dr. Luisa Cruz' murder, before the cops start pinning it on her, but the evidence isn't really helping. And that little DNA experiment of hers... Well, it's not so little anymore. I can't stress enough how easy it is to follow this…
Earlier today, it was announced that fan-favorite writer Tom King has signed an exclusive contract with DC, making the publisher his official home for the foreseeable future. King, who is best known for helming Grayson with Tim Seeley, is also head writer of Omega Men, the Vertigo title Sheriff of Babylon, and the main Robin…
“Twenty-five Big One$” celebrates the start of Harley Quinn’s third year going solo with the amazing team of Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti. And it’s a big celebration featuring Harley’s long-awaited reunion with the Joker whom he hasn’t seen since he blew up her storage unit and sent her fleeing to Coney Island in issue…
The Boy Wonder is back in town! This issue was a real pleasant surprise. Last month, it was indicated that Damian wasn't finished returning stolen artifacts to their rightful owners. While I enjoyed the opening salvo that Son of Batman had to offer, it seemed to me that the story arc had wrapped up and…
Brian Buccellato takes us to a dark place with Injustice this week. Real dark. Issue no. 4, which combines Digital Firsts No. 7 “Street Fight” & 8 “Rage” is one of the most brutal issues of this comic to date. I was excited about the return of the Thanagarians (Katar Hol and Shiera have been…
If nothing else, Max Landis writes a great Lois Lane. After winning a chance to write for the Daily Planet as a student reporter, Clark attends what is dubbed the Cerberus Summit, "a meeting of the three most important young businessmen in America." I'll give you four guesses as to who they are, and the…
In case you missed it, this was posted to Twitter by Didio, Lee, and Geoff Johns: Then DC followed a day later with its May solicitations… and none of the titles have that telling “FINAL ISSUE” notice at the end of the solicitation. I personally call bull. If you read some of the solicits…
