27 on Midnighter #1 reviewMidnighter #1 Written by Steve Orlando Pencils by ACO Inks by ACO and Hugo Petrus Colors by Romulo Fajaroo Jr. Spinning out of Grayson (and before that, Stormwatch), Midnighter now has his own series in the New 52… or DC YOU… or whatever it is that DC is calling this re-launch that’s actually still a…
The wait is finally over as Geoff Johns and artist Jason Fabok deliver the first installment of their new Justice League arc The Darkseid War! I've been anxiously waiting for this story to kick off. I've been play LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham just to fill the Justice League void in my life. Fortunately, I…
Bat-Mite! What wild and crazy antics does that lovable little imp from the fifth dimension have in store for the Caped Crusader this time? Won't you join me as we take a journey into his wacky world and revel in the hilarity that is bound to ensue? Or at least that is what I was…
With his fate and future uncertain at the outset of Forever Evil, the decision to make Dick an agent of the clandestine organization Spyral was controversial, to say the least. Now, shedding his identity as Nightwing and severing all but the most furtive of ties with Batman, Dick is joined by a cast of characters,…
Batman: Arkham Knight #5– “Better Man/Bane of Existence” Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Viktor Bogdanovic Inks by Art Thibert Colored by John Rauch Letters by Travis Lanham Man can Tomasi write some good dialogue. At this point, I might sound like a broken record, but it bears repeating: Peter Tomasi knows these characters…
Our regular titles have completed their two month hibernation while DC moved its offices from New York to Los Angeles, and I’m super excited! I’ve desperately been waiting for things to get back to normal, and I’m hoping the creative teams have taken this time to thoroughly prepare and deliver some kickass stories. But, while…
Woo! Goodbye, Convergence, you sweaty, gross mess of a final chapter. Want to cleanse your palette of the book that made the Wonders of Earth 2 utterly useless during their moment to shine? (As the resident Earth 2 reviewer, this whole cross-over event has left me just a little sour) Or for those of you,…
The past and the future collide in the second installment of Convergence: Crime Syndicate. The Justice Legion Alpha and the Crime Syndicate go head to head to decide the fate of their cities. Although worlds and years apart, these teams mirror each other in appearance, abilities, and if nothing else, their resolve. An exciting pairing…
Well... Convergence is over... I know I'm glad! How about you? Due to my fatigue with the event, I decided to spend the past two weeks catching up on some titles that I haven't been reading (Gotham by Midnight, Justice League United), researching characters that I'm not that familiar with (Midnighter), and catching up on titles that I…
Multiversity: Pax Americana Director’s Cut #1 “In Which We Burn” Written by Grant Morrison Art by Frank Quitely I know… I know… you’re confused. Something isn’t right. You thought you had me figured out – finally – and then this happened. How could I do this? Am I confused? Do I remember that I gave…
Now this right here is a prime example of why I enjoyed parts of Convergence. While the main title is going on, a lot of fun (and face palms) have been had in the various tie-ins. What we get in Convergence: Shazam 1 & 2 is some good, clean fun. As with a few other books, we…
Inactive heroes, unresolved plot lines, and developments that will ultimately leave little to no effect on the larger DC Universe. Get ready for the finale of Convergence! I think my biggest beef with this finale is that nothing that came before accumulated to the conclusion that we see unfold. In the eleventh hour, characters who…
Buccellato is winning me over after Year Three’s less-than-spectacular conclusion by keeping the adrenaline pumping and the plot barreling forward. Two print issues in, the description in the solicits make it sound like we’ve been treading water, but actually there’s plenty in motion and much of it is still cloaked in mystery. Digital Firsts 3…
Batman '66 #23: "The Groovy Grave of Grundy/The Quagmire of Clayface" Written by Jeff Parker Pencils by Brent Schoonover and Giancarlo Caracuzzo Inks by Brent Schoonover Colors by Kelly Fitzpatrick and Flavia Caracuzzo Letters by Wes Abbott While sticking to the two-part, episodic nature that the classic TV series utilized is just one more thing…
Alright, I know I've been apologizing a lot lately due to my tardiness, but this really should be the last late post from me. After an unexpected weekend full of work, I've wrapped my work project, and my life will now get back to normal (after I sleep for the next three days). I appreciate your…
I’m not going to pretend to know much about Brother Eye, OMAC, Buddy Blank, or Godmother, but after reading this issue I’m definitely going to spend some time digging up as much as I can about the technological warrior who squares off against Batman and the Outsiders. Last month Marc Andreyko took us through the…
I have always liked Wonder Woman as a character, but I have to confess that I have read precious little of her comics over the years. Still, I enjoy dipping my toe into Amazonian waters now and then and have always enjoyed these jaunts with the princess from Themyscira. Her turn in Convergence was no…
The Lord hates a quitter. That’s most of what I think when I see this book pop up in my monthly queue, and I face the inevitable task of reviewing it. Now, if there’s one thing this book has proven to be, without purpose would be a good way of describing it. The story is…
One of the single most awesome character moments from all of Convergence happens in this issue. Unfortunately, that moment also contributes to this installment's biggest blunder. *If you're wanting to remain spoiler free, turn away now. I'm talking openly about this issue.* Hal Jordan completely obliterates Deimos as easily as you or I would switch…
Have you ever felt that special thrill whenever your favorite team fights hard for a win, and secures a victory? It's a feeling, an emotional connection to a group that doesn't necessarily affect your everyday life in a direct way. Yet there you are, seeking that thrill time and time again. Well that my friends,…
