5 on Midnighter #2 reviewMidnighter #2 Written by Steve Orlando Art by Alec Morgan Colors by Romulo Fajaroo Jr and Allen Passalaqua It’s our second installment of my new favorite, trash-talking, badass, Midnighter! I’ve been reading a lot of this character lately to become more familiar with him, and it’s been an enjoyable experience so far. Last month we…
Bizarro #2: "America Part 5" Written by Heath Corson Illustrated by Gustavo Duarte Colors by Pete Pantazis Letters by Tom Napolitano Next month on Bizarro: Jimmy Olsen, long-suffering pal of Superman, has been appointed a task nobody would want: caretaker of Bizarro. With promises of a possible book deal out of it, and the fame,…
With this week's release of Action Comics #42, I figured I'd cover what's been going on with the Man of Steel in his TRUTH storyline before your regularly scheduled Batman/Superman review. I am a Batman fan all the way, but I must admit that I'm currently more interested and invested in what's going on with Superman at this current…
My absolute favorite thing about this issue is that they address the fact that Robobat-Bunny is not superior to the real Batman! They don't actually say it overtly in a conversation between characters, but when you think about what we are being given in the story, it is a subtle way of addressing the matter. …
Bat-Mite and Hawkman go toe-to-toe, but who will be left standing after these two behemoths of the DC Universe trade blows and quips! More importantly, is this issue actually funny? Hmm...judging from Bat-Mite's reaction, the answer is still no. But it isn't from lack of trying. The book keeps the gags coming our way…
Batman: Arkham Knight #6: "Bane of Existence" Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Ig Guara Inked by Julio Ferreira Colored by Andrew Dalhouse Lettered by Travis Lanham NOTE: This review was written before the game was released, so there is nothing that could be seen as a spoiler to those who haven't played it…
Holy cow! Where did June go? I mean, seriously… I felt like a week ago I was talking about how I couldn’t wait to finish Convergence and get to the DC You relaunch… and now it’s suddenly July. Someone’s messing with time… I’m sure of it… Really… July 4th is already upon us! On a…
Justice League 3001 caught me off-guard. For the last week I’d reread every issue of Justice League 3000 in an attempt to prepare myself for the showdown between the Justice League and their evil revived counterparts in the Injustice League. Instead, there’s a time skip that jumps forward months into the future, forcing Keith Giffen…
After a lengthy hiatus, the Teen Titans return to continue their story following the return of Superboy. Will Pfeifer does a terrific job with the pacing of the story, breaking up the plot between various characters and bringing it all to a culmination at the end. There are a lot of things the Titans are currently facing,…
Grayson #9: "Nemesis" Written by Tom King and Tim Seeley Illustrated by Mikel Janín Colored by Jeromy Cox Lettered by Carlos M. Mangual When I interviewed Seeley and King earlier this month, they kept referring to the preceding and forthcoming Grayson arcs as "seasons." At the time it seemed like an interesting way of looking…
We are Robin is finally here...and it doesn't disappoint! This first issue is filled with plenty of action, social significance, elusiveness, and two (that's right, count them) TWO cliffhangers! For those of you not familiar with the character of Duke Thomas, he was created by Scott Snyder and appeared sporadically throughout the main Batman book. …
When we left the Midnight Shift back in March, a cataclysm had occurred. The team had come up against the evil consciousness of the wronged early inhabitants of Gotham who had been systematically destroyed by early settlers to make way for the colonists. Though they managed to save Gotham from the wrath of both the…
Digital chapters 7 & 8, “Bargains” and “Broken” combine to bring full light to the underhanded dealings that will set the major action of this Year in motion. We finally see what’s motivating Lex Luthor, Batman’s deal with Ares, Hera and Hippolyta’s contretemps concluded, Diana’s negotiation for a Death by Combat to resolve the problem…
Batgirl confronts Livewire and, in turn, is confronted by the “new” Batman in this issue titled “Interference”, which picks up in the muddle that is post Endgame, post Convergence. Does Batgirl know that Batman is allegedly dead? If she does, she doesn’t mention it--kind of like how she never mentioned her father during the entire…
Batman '66 #24: "Diamond Disaster!/Batman Moves Faster!" Written by Ray Fawkes Illustrated by Jon Bogdanove Colors by Roberto Flores and Omar Estevez Letters by Wes Abbott Sometimes, a villain just needs the right story. I've never been a big fan of the Ventriloquist as a Batman villain (who isn't in this, but bear with me).…
Hello everyone! I hope all the dads out there had a happy Father’s day! Same goes to all of you single mothers as well! And if you’re not a dad, then I hope you did something nice for your dad! I had a jam packed weekend, mainly due to my friend’s wedding! It was a…
September solicitations have been released, and if you’re jaded like me, the first thing you probably thought was, “Yeah, yeah, let’s just hurry up and get to October. I want those big announcements!” Granted... I’m not sure some of them will come at SDCC, but then again, they may not… But then, I realized that…
It's time to take a look back and see how Convergence measured up. I'm not going to compare the sales numbers for Convergence to the sales numbers of your average monthly releases because that is an unjust comparison. Typically, a comic that is tied to an event will have numbers that are hugely blown out…
With the last installment of Dan Abnett’s prequel series to the Infinite Crisis video game, we see a prime example of something that was intended as an explosion, only to die a whisper. Where Injustice can be seen as the pinnacle of a comic book/video game crossover series, this is what not to do. No…
Secret Six #3 "The Nine Levels of Suburbia" Written by Gail Simone Art by Dale Eaglesham Colors by Jason Wright I’m torn on how I feel about this issue. Very torn. It isn’t bad. Let me just put that out there. In no way do I think this issue is bad! Even in its weakest…
