43 on Upcoming Comics: March 18, 2015Well, we’re slowly making our way through March… but I think most of us will look back at March of 2015 as the month of delays. Lots and lots of delays. And naturally, there are more this week (see below in the Notes section for details)! On the positive note, since some of these books…
The last few issues of World’s End have been above-average, which is a compliment of monumental proportions considering the nonsense that this series has pumped out these last months. But here we have the makings of the plot-driven, action-loaded story with character depth that we should have had all along. Outside Atom’s Haven: Yolanda Montez,…
After the semi-dramatic resolve of the threat from Brainiac, this issue picks up on several other story lines that many of us are sure to have forgotten about. Frankenstein and Amethyst have a remarkable opening section, the Justice League picks up the rubble, Faraday does the usual weird/misunderstood/boring stuff we're used to, while Brother Eye…
Futures End is really surprising me. There's been a ton of build-up leading toward both the Brother Eye and Brainiac story lines, and this issue offers an interesting clash between these two "big bads". The temporary resolve of the Brainiac threat is both interesting and a slight let-down, though if there's one thing I've learned from…
White collar criminal, Warren White, figures he's got the system beat. By pleading insanity, White thinks he'll spend a short spell in the relaxed hospital environment rather than serving hard time in a "real" prison. Unfortunately for him, that harmless institution he was hoping for doesn't exist in Gotham. He's going to Arkham Asylum, a…
Well, it’s over. It’s all over. This misguided debacle of a series has come to an end, and do you want to know the worst thing? This issue was really, really good. I loved it. Batman was so cool in this issue, Wonder Woman was a stone-cold assassin, and Superman was the most human we’ve…
I'd like to tell you all that this issue is awesome and that things are finally kicking into high gear, but that just isn't the case. At this point, Eternal doesn't feel like it has any gas left, and instead of speeding over that finish line, it's just coasting to the end. A lot of…
Warner Bros. Consumer Products (WBCP) and DC Entertainment (DCE) today announced plans to set a world record for the largest gathering of people dressed as DC Comics Super Heroes held at multiple venues around the globe within 24 hours. The DC Comics Super Hero World Record Event – to take place on April 18, 2015…
Why? This might be the question you ask yourself after reading this book. Why did I buy this?...why did I read this?...why did they make this?........why does Harper look like a man? Most of the time, I get the impression that a comic starts with a writer brainstorming an idea that forms into a story…
New Suicide Squad #8 "Defective" Written by Sean Ryan Art by Rob Hunter & Scott Hanna Dear God, this book is awful! I know Sean has been slaughtering Worlds' Finest in his reviews, but I'm willing to bet that this book gives it a run for its money. Sean Ryan has officially been added to…
This issue collects Digital Firsts 21 & 22 respectively titled “Goodbyes and Farewells” and “Hellfire and Damnation”. This is the penultimate issue to Year Three before Injustice goes dark for a little nap during the Convergence event that will subsume everything until DC is neatly ensconced on the opposite coast. We should be gearing up…
Batman: Arkham Knight #1- "Death of a Rival" Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Viktor Bogdanovic Inks by Art Thibert Colored by John Rauch Letters by Travis Lanham It's so very easy for a tie-in comic to become a cash-grab: get a familiar property, write a series that "reveals more of the story" or…
Last month DC Comics announced that they'd be making some changes to their books in June, and now we have the first look at the wild new Batman. Scott Snyder told CBR that it's the boldest, weirdest, and biggest thing they've ever tried on "Batman". CBR News: Scott, it certainly feels like big things are coming…
Forces are gathering against the Justice League, whether it is the oncoming onslaught of Etrigan’s demons or the sinister hidden danger that comes from the Injustice League. “Burning Bright” brings the former of the two front and center, as the Justice League readies to battle Etrigan’s demons alongside the knights of Camelot-Nine. If you like…
Work has been insanely busy lately, and instead of wrapping up some work over the weekend, I decided to have some “me” time. So, to try and relax, I started my Saturday by driving out to Malibu to spend some time on the beach and grab lunch, came back into the city to catch up…
In recent months, Earth 2 has served as a sort of supplement to it’s weekly cousin, World’s End. This week the formula is changed, and instead of getting another origin story or a one-shot of less-featured characters readers were treated to what is basically another issue of World’s End. So that’s two issues this week,…
When the Justice League is dead, villains must become our heroes. In Forever Evil, the League's evil mirror image from another dimensions conquers Earth and only Lex Luthor can save the day. It's been almost a year since the highly publicized mini-series Forever Evil concluded so I thought it would be a good idea to…
This week we were treated to a bit of a surprise by Earth 2 and Earth 2: World’s End. The two books run almost concurrently with one another, and the stories tie in very closely. They both also feature the “jumping around from scene to scene” method that World’s End has been doing. I really…
Grayson #8: "Cross my Heart and Hope to Die” Written by Tom King and Tim Seeley Illustrated by Michael Janín Colored by Jeromy Cox Letters by Carlos M. Mangual Now this... this is more like it. The worst thing about this issue is that it flies by. It's so exciting and the pacing is so…
Green Arrow #40 “Kingdom” Story by Andrew Kreisberg & Ben Sokolowski Script by Ben Sokolowski Pencils by Daniel Sampere Inks by Daniel Henriques Colors by Gabe Eltaeb Alright! We’re covering Green Arrow on Batman News! How about that? Clearly this isn’t a book we typically cover, but this issue features Batman, so we wanted to…
