4 on Convergence: Swamp Thing #1 & #2 reviewHas the Convergence formula worn out its welcome? I am sensing a little Convergence fatigue among you readers. Or maybe it’s just me; I’m ready to get back to our regularly scheduled programming (whatever that might be in the brave new world of DC California). But until that time comes (still weeks away), at least…
I’m counting down the days! We have this week and next week, and then we can FINALLY get back to normal! I don’t know what normal is anymore, but it’s not Convergence, and every book won’t be forced to follow the same formula that we’ve been reading for nearly two months now. But seriously… I…
Convergence Catwoman #2 Written by Justin Gray Art by Ron Randall Colors by Gabe El Tabe And the award for the most improved book goes to Convergence Catwoman! But don't get too excited because it's still just average at best. Last month I came down pretty hard on this title, and I stand behind my…
This August, the fan-favorite DC Bombshells will be taking over, as a new digital-first comic premieres along with a new line of figures and variant covers. Taking inspiration from World War II-era posters and magazine covers, the Bombshells series, written by Marguerite Bennett and illustrated by Marguerite Sauvage, will feature Batwoman, Wonder Woman, and Supergirl…
Year Four comes out of the gate swinging with the collected issue of Digital Firsts 1 & 2, “The Gods Themselves” and “What Fools these Mortals Are”. With Buccellato now driving the story entirely, we will get to see what he can truly bring to this series and he gives us an aperitif that’s definitely…
Convergence: Suicide Squad #2 "When Kingdoms Fall" Written by Frank Tieri Art by Tom Mandrake Colors by Sian Mandrake I was pleasantly surprised at how good last month's issue of Convergence Suicide Squad was. I think the quality of this title over the past few years has been so poor that it's inadvertently created a…
This week's installment of Convergence is mediocre at best. The biggest problem I found was, despite everything that happens in this issue, nothing really happens. We get to see the New52 characters become aware of a planet trying to enter the universe through some kind of portal, Deimos mentions that he can create a new…
To coincide with the end of Convergence and the return to the DC Universe proper, a whole slew of collectibles are being released to comic book shops this June. With a variety of paper masks, temporary tattoos, and posters, there's something for every fan of each corner of the DC Universe. The most notably impressive…
Convergence: Batman: Shadow of the Bat #2: "Home is the Sailor" Written by Larry Hama Pencils by Rick Leonardi Inks by Dan Green Colored by Elmer Santos Overall, I've been enjoying Convergence. Time will tell if any of it truly matters, but above anything else it's been nice revisiting a lot of these characters and eras.…
After a few years away, writer Geoff Johns (Superman: Secret Origin, Justice League, Green Lantern) and artist Gary Frank (Superman: Secret Origin, Midnight Nation) make their return to Earth One Gotham. A more down to Earth look at Gotham and the citizens that call the dark city home, their first volume built a fresh foundation…
Batman: Arkham Knight #4– “Need For Speed/Roadkill” Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Robson Rocha and Viktor Bogdanovic Inks by Guillermo Ortego and Art Thibert Colored by Kelsey and John Rauch Letters by Travis Lanham For the life of me, I can't figure out why this is packaged as two separate stories. "Need for…
We’re approaching the end of Convergence, and if I’m being honest, it’s perfect timing because I’m starting to get Convergence fatigue. Part of this is due to the fact that the Convergence titles that really interest me have already come to a close. And let’s be honest, there’s only so many ways you can follow…
Last month saw the first part of Convergence: The Question become one of the surprise hits of this whole two-month event. Bringing in popular and enigmatic characters, a compelling story, and a complex dynamic between Two-Face and Renee Montoya that rivaled anything else that Convergence has given us. To recap, a depressed and increasingly unstable…
Convergence Superman #1 & 2 “Superman Again” Written by Dan Jurgens Art by Lee Weeks Colors by Brad Anderson It’s Batman-News.com, and we’re covering Supes! Before we get into DC’s resident boy scout, I want to apologize for getting this review to you so late. DC continues their tie-ins to Convergence with Superman. Clark, Lois,…
Convergence: Harley Quinn #2 “Rabbit Season” Written by Steve Pugh Pencils by Phil Winslade Inks by John Dell Colors by Chris Chuckry Convergence Harley Quinn was one of the titles that I didn’t have high expectations for initially, but it really surprised me. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a huge Harley fan, but a lot…
Teen Titans Go! #19: "May I Have This Trance?" Written by Sholly Fisch Illustrated by Jorge Corona Colored by Jeremy Lawson Lettered by Wes Abbott Cover by Dan Hipp Cyborg acts like a chicken. Robin disco dances in his underwear. Starfire becomes a 17th-century French philosopher. All because Beast Boy accomplished the one thing every…
Convergence: Batgirl #2 “The Love Song of Stephanie Brown” Part 2 Written by Alisa Kwitney Pencils by Rick Leonardi Inks by Mark Pennington Colors by Steve Buccellato Well this was a step down compared to the previous issue... I literally started reading this issue, stopped in the middle of it, and pulled up my last…
Convergence for the most part has actually been a fun, decent ride. A return of old and familiar faces either forgotten or retconned out of continuity. Beloved characters placed in the scenario of annihilation and survival, Convergence is really a celebration of DC's vast and expansive history. Convergence: Batman and Robin #2 is not a celebration. It is a catastrophe. I'm not…
Convergence: Nightwing/Oracle #2: "Birds of Rage" Written by Gail Simone Illustrated by Jan Duursema Inked by Dan Parsons Colored by Wes Dzioba Lettered by Carlos M. Manguel Batman doesn't kill. The Waynes stay dead. Dick and Babs belong together. Especially that last one. Chuck Dixon got it. Devin Grayson got it for, like, eight pages…
Secret pasts revealed, old heroes lost, a new hero rises, and somebody gets their heart torn out! These exploits and more, brought to you by the newest installment of Convergence. The majority of this issue focused on The Warlord characters, and that got me to thinking: the Warlord and Deimos are the primary protagonist and…
