29 on Upcoming Comics: July 29, 2015I officially think I’m jinxed when it comes to technology… I feel like everything has broken or messed up on me this month. When I went to Comic Con, my hotel’s wifi was down the entire time. I came back home to have my water get shut off for a day because a water main…
Justice League: Gods and Monsters – Batman #1: "Hunger" Story by J. M. DeMatteis and Bruce Timm Written by J. M. DeMatteis Illustrated by Matthew Dow Smith Colored by Jordie Bellaire Lettered by Saida Temofonte As far as DC Animated features go, the build up to Justice League: Gods and Monsters has been pretty in…
June ended up not being another reboot for the DC Universe as some people were speculating, but never-the-less, June still had a real sense of freshness to it that invited new readership to jump on board. Not only did DC release a whole slew of new books, but most of the continuing titles received makeovers…
Teen Titans Go! Digital Issue #21: "My Little Mustache" Written by Merrill Hagan Illustrated by Jeremy Lawson Lettered by Wes Abbott This... is rough. I usually at the very least enjoy this book, if for nothing more than light, frothy laughs, but this issue takes something that would maybe work as a two panel gag…
“Nobody Cares” is the title of this venture into the teeming dark underbelly of Gotham City, the irony being in the juxtaposition of a demon who makes people so apathetic they literally lay down and die vs. the Midnight Shift who, in spite of suspicion from Internal Affairs, the death of Sister Justine, and Jim…
Last month’s “Extrastellar Exploitations” in the Galaxia Del Sombrero have led to this month’s “Excess of Exes” as Harley Quinn and Power Girl are deluged with a downpour of minions sent from the evil Oreth Odeox. While “Peej” tackles the onslaught single-handedly, Harley finds herself matched in combat against a suture-happy cross between Johnny-5 and…
Black Canary is proving to be a slow burn. That may be frustrating for some, but I see much potential in the book to watch Brenden Fletcher build a foundation for this amazing DC character. Canary's current world is being fleshed out as the backdrop for whatever daunting scenarios that are bound to come her…
The arrival of Superboy has caused some mixed emotions amongst the Titans camp, but it has been a great thing story wise. All things come to a head when the Titans protecting Superboy and Manchester Black's group sent to wrangle in the Kryptonian clone come face to face. Multiple super-powered teens with flaring tempers, personal…
Teenagers fight hobos, Duke chats with the mystery benefactor of the "Robin" crew, and the gang rushes to dismantle a slew of bombs threatening the city! Will they make it in time, or is Gotham doomed? No, that wasn't a hook to get you to read this issue. We will have to wait till number…
Grayson #10: "Nemesis" Written by Tim Seeley and Tom King Illustrated by Mikel Janín Colors by Jeromy Cox Letters by Carlos M. Mangual First things first, go read Josh's interview with King and Seeley. Yes, even if you've already read it. Read it again. Those guys are a delight. ......... Alright, welcome back. Now we…
This week brings more pummeling and proclamations as Superman’s team takes on the gods in Digital First chapters 11 & 12, “Ultimatums” and “Throwdown”. Is it me or are these titles getting to be a bit too pithy? It used to be that they were at least a matched set, but lately they just seem…
Batman '66 #25: "Night of the Harlequin/Bad Men" Written by Jeff Parker and Gabe Soria Illustrated by Lukas Ketner and Ty Templeton Colored by Kelly Fitzpatrick and Tony Aviña Letters by Wes Abbott At long last, Harley Quinn is making her full Batman '66 debut. Long after her first appearance as Dr. Holly Quinn in…
Week 4 of each month is probably my favorite week for releases from DC! I feel like all of the books that are released during week 4 are strong, solid books, and there’s a good range of diversity in styles – all of which are still within “Gotham.” I do tend to prefer the “supporting…
There were a lot of things that I loved about San Diego Comic Con. As you know, this was my first Con so I was already excited – Steve Orlando even caught on to the fact that I was a newbie and commented on the “twinkle in my eyes” – but my highlight, by far, was…
October 2015 Solicitations There’s been a lot of exciting news in the past week! DC made a lot of announcements during San Diego Comic Con, and it all starts coming into play beginning in October! We have a new Eternal book, and we’re finally getting Cassandra Cain back in our lives. There’s a new Teen…
The Gang of Harleys are already in trouble and it’s the one and only original Harley Quinn to the rescue in this continuation of last month’s storyline called “Fish Food.” If you saw Jay’s comment in the Upcoming Comics article, you know already that Amanda Conner’s cover for this issue is an homage to Action…
The momentum is picking up quickly in the Darkseid War with the release of Justice League #42. Much anticipation is in the air for this heavyweight bout, and the story progresses ahead at a strong pace. This extra bit of setup serves to build towards a big payoff further along in the arc. This issue…
Secret Six #4 "Friends in Low Places" Written by Gail Simone Art by Ken Lashley and Tom Derenick Colors by Jason Wright Man, oh man, this book is a mess right now… Simone’s writing itself isn’t bad. The story isn’t bad. But there’s clearly been a lot of meddling with this title! This issue (#4),…
As we begin to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Robin, the Boy Wonder's future is shining brighter than ever. Along with Damian's solo title, past and present Robins are receiving the limelight in upcoming titles. Harper Row, Cassandra Cain, and the spectacular Dick Grayson will feature in the recently announced Batman and Robin Eternal, which…
I’m behind in getting this to you guys, so I’m going to keep this short and sweet! You have plenty to read as it is with all of the announcements that have been coming out, as well as interviews with various writers that are still on their way! And if that weren’t enough, October Solicitations…
