0 on Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #8 reviewEvery time I review this book, it reminds me of that Daniel Tosh bit where he keeps the joke going and going until there’s just one person in the audience laughing. Except no one here is laughing. Dan Abnett is doing his very best with the limited story he’s given, which is thread-bare at best. …
Comic-Con San Diego tickets went on sale yesterday! Did any of you guys manage to get some tickets? I was up early yesterday to try and order some for a friend, but only managed to get a badge for Sunday. It’s a crazy process! I consider myself lucky though. I spoke to a lot of…
It's starting to look like Teen Titans is finding its footing after rebirth, and begin to show signs of improvement. This is an early assumption, but this month's issue was a decent outing. Titled One Brief, Shining Moment, I can say that's just what I was hoping for--and frankly, that's exactly what I got. The creative team on…
Welcome back to what’s devolved into one of the less coherent and slowest books around – World’s End! Who would have thought so little would end up happening during the apocalypse brought about by a deific alien planet of the same name. Literally billions of people have died, and I have not cared once. That’s…
Batman/Superman #19 opens with a brief history of the capitol city of Kandor on the now eradicated planet of Krypton. The narration is provided by the book's current villain who has been making Superman's life a living hell. The quick history lesson serves well in the intro to forebode the dire situation that awaits our heroes. Greg…
We've finally reached the conclusion of the Amazo Virus arc and let's just say that it was AMAZING! Honestly, I feel like I've offered a bit too much praise in some of these reviews, but I thoroughly enjoyed this story and this was a fitting end to this arc. Johns and Fabok really found their groove…
Batman and Robin has been one of my favorite titles in DC's stable. Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason have proved through multiple arcs that they're a formidable team mirroring the duo that they create for each issue. With that being said, I was a bit sad when I learned of Tomasi's upcoming departure and the…
Batwoman #39 "Alice, Sweet Alice" Written by Marc Andreyko Pencils by Georges Jeanty Inks by Karl Story and Dexter Vines Colors by Guy Major Well... Here we are... Back to a below average product. Last month we got a break from Jeanty's mediocre-at-best art, but he's returned for full art duties this issue... It's unfortunate.…
The Multiversity: Mastermen #1 "Splendour Falls" Written by Grant Morrison Pencils by Jim Lee Inks by Scott Williams, Sandra Hope, Mark Irwin, and Jonathan Glapion Colors by Alex Sinclair and Jeromy Cox It's another installment of Morrison's Multiversity, and once again, I'm a fan. I've said this before, and I'll say it again: Morrison's storytelling…
Considering that this issue has a line of dialogue in it that sports the title of this entire series, I would have thought more time would have been devoted into making sure that this issue knocked your socks off. As it stands, it is merely acceptable. The majority of this story is spent showing the…
Long overdue, Batman: Dark Knight, Dark City has finally been collected in its first ever trade paperback. If you've never read it before, get ready for perhaps the best supernatural Batman story of all time. And don't worry, I won't give away too many details from this thrilling story filled with mystery and some of…
It’s “Batgirl vs. Burnside” and we get to see our red-haired Girl Wonder chased by an angry mob that includes a baker and a man with a bat full of nails; she mopes around about her PPs while Frankie and company sit around hacking at their Hooq hack; officer--er, I mean professor--Krupke dresses her down…
This issue collects Digital Firsts 19 & 20 respectively titled “House of Mystery” and “House of Secrets”. We’re in the middle of a big brawl with Mxyzptlk and Trigon trading thunderbolts and hellfire while Superman and Batman square off down below. Team Batman looks to have a momentary upper hand, but a very annoyed Swamp…
Teen Titans Go! #8: "One Potato, Two Potato, Couch Potato/The Rocky Road to Love" Written by Sholly Fisch and Amy Wolfram Illustrated by Jorge Corona and Lea Hernandez Colors by Jeremy Lawson Letters by Wes Abbott Oh what a gift laughing is. I know that this book and the show it accompanies aren't for everyone, and…
This is the fourth month in a row that this book has sold out from my local comic shop the day that it arrived in stores. Do that many people really buy this book? Why? Is it selling on name alone, because if so it’s not even spelt the same as one of the most…
Happy President’s Day to all of our US readers! I know Canada has a number of holidays today as well, so I hope everyone is enjoying a restful Monday away from work! Also, happy (late) Valentine’s Day! Who celebrated by going to see Fifty Shades of Grey? I’m sad to say that I was one…
I was fully prepared for the usual Futures End protocol of bombing horribly after a good issue like last week. I'm happy to be wrong in my prejudgment; this issue was actually fairly good. That makes two weeks in a row where the score will be more than the average winner's score in soccer. This issue…
This is a Batman site, but I would be remiss if I didn't point out the fact that the new Star Wars title that premiered in January had the highest totals for a comic that I have seen in years, coming in at 985,976. That number is ridiculous! It's ten times the number of the…
New Suicide Squad #7 "Defective" Written by Sean Ryan Art by Rob Hunter & Vicente Cifuentes Colors by Blond So... How much longer do you think the New Suicide Squad will be "defective?" No, I'm not talking about the arc, I'm talking about the book itself. You all know that my opinion of this title…
My thought process when picking up Justice League 3000 from the comic shop this week: “Oh hello, old friend, so good to see you. It’s been such a rough month for reading that I get to crack you open and enjoy – OH GOD WHAT HAPPENED? Where is Howard Porter? Where are my overly intricate…
