13 on Upcoming Comics: April 22, 2015It’s going to be a light week for us this week, with only five titles to review! Next week will be exciting though! We’ll finally get the conclusion to Batman: Endgame, the start to Justice League: The Darkseid War, and wrap up Multiversity. So I’m willing to bet most of you really just want next…
Another month gives us another attempt at accruing support for DC’s latest computer title, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse. In an attempt to match up with the likes of Dota 2 and League of Legends, DC decided to take creative iterations of heroes and make them battle to the death. Following Dan Abnett’s multi-universal…
Teen Titans Go! #17- "Stare Master" Written by Sholly Fisch Pencils by Jorge Corona Inks by Jorge Corona Colored by Jeremy Lawson Cover by Dan Hipp Note: As this book releases a digital installment monthly, I'm going to be reviewing each individually from here on out. The next half of the print issue releases digitally…
Convergence: Catwoman #1 “Schrodinger’s Cat” Written by Justin Gray Art by Ron Randall Colors by Gabe Eltaeb Much like the Catwoman series this tie-in is pulling from, I wasn't a fan of this issue. I think we all know I'm a fan of Selina Kyle/ Catwoman, but I never felt like she was fully developed…
Convergence: Suicide Squad #1 “When Kingdoms Fall” Written by Frank Tieri Art by Tom Mandrake This issue isn’t perfect, but it’s soooo much better than what we’ve been getting with New Suicide Squad! That creative team could definitely take some pointers from this team… Starting with how this book opened. If you ever want to…
Convergence: Batman: Shadow of the Bat #1- "The Dark Side of the Street" Written by Larry Hama Pencils by Philip Tan Inks by Jason Paz Colored by Ellery Santos The first Batman comic story I can remember reading was KnightsEnd, which dealt with Bruce Wayne reclaiming the title of the Batman from Jean-Paul Valley after…
When I saw the cover, my mind was sent racing as I envisioned the potential scenarios that could play out between Bruce and Thomas. Unfortunately, the element that I was most looking forward too is completely omitted from the story. The scene is tremendously tense as Bruce and Thomas walk towards one another in silence. …
This week, we’ll move into our second full week of Convergence, and I’m pleasantly surprised that I’ve enjoyed everything I’ve read so far. It appears as though the Convergence tie-ins for the month of April are mainly focusing on the characters and setting us up for the fights to come, while May will be a…
Writer (and cover artist) Steve Pugh brings us a story about Harley Quinn’s reformation and subsequent backslide in this aptly titled “Down the Rabbit Hole” issue. She’s been selected by Telos to square off against Captain Carrot, but there’s one major problem: Harley’s gone straight and all the crazy’s been leached out of her system.…
Batman: Arkham Knight #2- “The Last Will and Testament of the Joker” Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Viktor Bogdanovic Inks by Art Thibert Colored by John Rauch Letters by Travis Lanham There seems to be an awful lot of focus on the psyche and history of the Joker lately. I suppose there always…
Gail Simone reminds us of her solid storytelling chops in this action-packed exploration of the Batfamily’s young lovers in an issue titled “Birds of Rage”. By now you all know the Convergence formula: it’s world domination cage match and here we have the (somewhat odd, but nevertheless interesting) teams of Shaman Hawkman and Hawkwoman against…
Convergence: Batgirl #1 “The Love Song of Stephanie Brown” Written by Alisa Kwitney Pencils by Rick Leonardi Inks by Mark Pennington Colors by Steve Buccellato Alright! Mortal Kombat is here! I mean, Convergence is here! What? It's practically the same thing. Fighters from different worlds are coming together to fight for their world on Telos…
Writer: Ron Marz Pencils: Denys Cowan Inks: Klaus Janson Colors: Chris Sotomayor So Convergence is already underway, and readers are getting their first glimpses at how the event is shaking up the DC Universe. If you're anything like me, you're approaching this storyline with high hopes and weary anticipation. This could easily be something spectacular or…
This week brings us the newest issue of Convergence, along with 11 other tie-ins. I picked up the main title along with 5 of the peripheral stories. After reading them all, I came away with a pretty solid understanding of where the overall story is headed, and to be honest, it's not what I was…
I admit I was skeptical about this whole Convergence thing. I anticipated the April schedule the same way I anticipate Marvel’s Age of Ultron: sure, I’ll watch it, but my expectations are low and I likely won’t be queueing up to see it premiere night. No offense to you diehard Marvelites, it’s just not my…
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! I was originally going to have dinner with some friends, but I’m home nursing a sick dog (they really are like kids sometimes). I do have a stash of candy and chocolate readily available though – including a giant Cadbury bunny – so I think I’ll be ok.…
Things are about to get real! Each week you’ve been voting on your favorite cover in our Upcoming Comics articles… And now we’re bringing those winners together into one poll, to decide which comics will compete in our Best Cover of 2015 at the end of the year. I guess you can essentially look at…
It’s the final issue of World’s End, so of course the world has to end! Or does it!? No, it does. And the best part is that “End Times” gives this rocky road a satisfying and powerful conclusion that leaves me full of genuine anticipation to read Convergence to hopefully find out the fates of…
At the conclusion of Trinity War, nearly all of Earth's heroes vanished. The Crime Syndicate, an evil reflection of the Justice League, conquered our world and freed every sinister villain in the process. These events unfolded in the pages of Forever Evil while the Justice League title revealed Cyborg to be alive and rallying allies…
Flashbacks, beat downs, a cast of dozens, inside references, 38 pages worth of story, and 8 epilogues! This book is so full of greatness that those two little staples can hardly contain it. Was there some melodrama? Yes. Did every loose end get tied up? No. Is it perfect? No. But it was damn entertaining!…
