39 on December 2015 SolicitationsWe are gathered here today to mourn the cancelation of three books we cover from DC’s current roster: Batman ‘66, Gotham by Midnight, and Justice League United. Sad, sad day! Batman ’66 was the biggest shock for me, but for those of you that are super bummed about this particular title will be happy to…
Ever since flying the coop and returning to his original nest, Robin as been on a personal journey figuratively and literally to right the wrongs of his past. There's been a stark contrast between the child he once was to the young man that he's becoming. However, his new partner, Nobody II, proves that dealing…
There's no business like show business! That phrase rings true when you see the things people will do and/or go through for a taste of the limelight. The feeling can become addictive. Regardless, one should always choose their friends wisely. They can either help you in your time of need, or assist in your downfall.…
Arkham Knight: Genesis #2 Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Alisson Borges Colored by Dave McCaig Lettered by Deron Bennet It's always nice to gain sympathy for a character you've never really felt attached to. As I've said before, I'm not a huge fan of Jason Todd as a character, but appreciate and respect…
These things just keep rolling out. Five more retailer-specific variant covers have been revealed by DC Comics, with some true heavy-hitters submitting some pretty striking images. Ranging from homages of famous scenes from the original Dark Knight Returns series to fairly simple, but no less striking, original images (I absolutely love that Klaus Janson cover),…
Secret Six #6 "Whippings and Apologies" Written by Gail Simmone Art by Tom Derrenick Colors by Jason Wright We've reached the sixth issue of Secret Six, and in this issue the entire secret comes out (I think)... I'm sure there's some irony here, but the more important topic of conversation is the secret itself. But…
This issue follows two distinct storylines: Digital First 19 presents us with “Stupid Tartarus”, which is the best title yet in Year Four. This half features Harley Quinn, Billy Batson, and Hippolyta as they attempt to escape from the Prison of the Damned. Digital First 20, “Retreat”, returns us to Themyscira and that crashing wave…
“Harleywood” features more than the usual share of surprises with John Timms filling in for regular series artist Chad Hardin, and a script that feels not only way-scaled back in terms of goofiness compared to Harley Quinn’s Road Trip special, but has a body count higher than the last half-dozen comics put together. Harley has…
DC Comics is once again declaring Saturday, September 26th Batman Day, with meet and greets with creators, free comics from select retailers, and downloadable activities for everyone to enjoy. Let's forget for a moment that around these parts, every day is Batman Day and check out the various events and giveaways planned for what should…
I’ve got some making up to do for you guys considering how late my reviews were last week. Because of that, I’m keeping this brief so I can knock out the December 2015 Solicitations post as well… And… quite frankly… there’s quite a bit to talk about in that post! So keep an eye out…
New Suicide Squad #12 “Monsters” Written by Sean Ryan Art by Philipe Briones Colors by Blond You’re not dreaming… I promise… I really enjoyed this issue… And yes, you’re remembering correctly, this is the second issue that I’ve enjoyed from this arc. Either someone is helping Sean Ryan write, or he’s been reading reviews around…
This current incarnation of Red Hood has been, shall we say, emotionally lacking. Outside of two exceptional issues in the recent Red Hood and the Outlaws run – found in issues three and eighteen – Jason Todd has been demoted to a poor man’s Deathstroke. The last few issues have been no different, with weak…
Catwoman #44 "Fire" Written by Genevieve Valentine Pencils by David Messina Inks by Gaetano Carlucci Colors by Lee Loughridge It's almost been a year since Valentine started her run on Catwoman, and every issue has built an intricate world featuring Selina's transition from master thief to the head of Gotham's underworld. Now that our first…
Last time in Earth 2: Society, planetary overlord, interdimensional-traveler, and overall fragment of self-preserving pond scum Terry Sloan allegedly bit the dust. I say allegedly because it happens off-panel and all that’s left is a body when we know that there’s a whole bunch of Terry Sloan’s out there flying around. The search for I’ve…
Teen Titans Go! Digital Issue #23: "Save the Date" Written by Sholly Fisch Illustrated by Lea Hernandez Lettered by Wes Abbott I love Star Wars. When I was in middle school, which was around the time the original trilogy was re-released as "Special Editions," I got really, really into it. I would watch the movies…
As the band Black Canary continues their grueling 30 city, 30 day tour, they have the balancing act of escaping the relentless chase from numerous pursuers while making showtime deadlines. With the revelation of Dinah's not dead husband, and the presence of agents and tar looking aliens everywhere, the notorious, up and coming band have…
New retail-specific variant covers from Jae Lee and Sean Murphy have been revealed. Like the first variant from last week, these covers will have the retailer's name and logo emblazoned on them. The first image, as seen above, is from Jae Lee. It's nice and striking, harkening back to one of the most famous and…
Sometimes the elements of a story align themselves so perfectly that they create a vision greater than the sum of their parts. This is one of those times. Without a shadow of a doubt, this is my all-time favorite issue of Gotham Academy so far. It almost seems as though this issue was tailor made…
Harleen Quinzel fans, rejoice. Though her title with Power Girl is soon coming to an end, a brand new book is launching this December with everyone's favorite psychiatrist-turned-psychopath. Per DC: Harley Quinn is kicking butt and taking names. DC Entertainment is excited to announce the sensational debut of a brand-new, bimonthly, overstuffed, oversized team-up series!…
Thanks you Brian Azzarello for being my lifeboat of sanity in the sea of chaos that is Snyder's current arc. For those of you who might be unaware, this issue of Batman is an interlude in the ongoing story arc. While Snyder is credited as co-author of this story, I can't help but feel that Azzarello…
