7 on Futures End #39 reviewKing Kong attacks! Not really. Allow me to paint the picture for what exactly this issue is. Imagine a movie scene. It is three minutes to midnight. The living room of a house is sparsely lit by the light of a pine-infused Scentsy brand wax warmer. You hear the muted and shaking voice of a…
Catwoman #38 "The Serpent" Written by Genevieve Valentine Art by Garry Brown I love that Catwoman has become the book that I can depend on for a quality story at the end of each month. I really can't describe how relieving and refreshing that feeling is, especially when considering that six months ago, that wasn't…
The device driving the last few issues has been the bringing together of the many storylines that have taken up the bulk of World’s End. With so many narratives tied up together, one would think that ample freedom could be given to David Wilson and his writing team to create a coherent tale using the…
It’s still winter at Arkham Manor even though I believe we’ve moved well into Spring already in the other Bat Books. It requires a few mental gymnastics to return to this title and try to unthink where the rest of the stories have gotten to because we’re living in the past here: Joker has just…
Last month I predicted that Gotham by Midnight was following a split-narrative formula of advancing the plot incrementally while introducing us to the origins of the Midnight Team and this month’s issue, titled “We Become what We Fight” confirms it. This go-round we get the backstory on Lisa Drake, who fulfills the role of abrasive…
Batman ’66 #19: “The Villain of Vapor Street/Foggy Bats Can't Be Beat” Written by Jeff Parker Illustrated by Leonardo Romero Colors by Tony Aviña Letters by Wes Abbott After seeing that cover, you'd be forgiven for thinking that this was going to be an old-fashioned mystery, something to really stretch the abilities of the World's…
I have a confession to make. In case it’s not been obvious from previous reviews of this and other books, I really like seeing comic book heroes and villains just doing the most banal stuff and Harley Quinn exemplifies why. The juxtaposition of the most mundane, everyday things, like taking a shower, brushing one’s teeth,…
Sometimes words simply are not enough. Experiencing it for yourself is the only way to truly grasp the scope and poignancy of something. This is one of those times. This was sooo good, it actually made me sad: at some point in the future, Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo are going to stop doing Batman…
This is the best issue of Batman Eternal I have read in 3 months! There are so many excellent scenes in this comic it is almost unfair. Maybe they could have doled out some of this awesomeness into previous issues instead of cramming it all into one. James Tynion IV completely nails it with this…
This is the kind of comic I think of as loud and brawling. Neither of which are pejorative terms, just a way of saying that the gist of it is to focus on violence within the context of what feels like a pretty traditional double-cross revenge plot. Because we’re stepping into the story mid-stream, I…
Today we welcome new writer Brian Buccellato to the Injustice team in an issue that also gives us the return of a long-absent Wonder Woman. This issue collects Digital Firsts 15 & 16, another “2-parter” titled “Awakenings” (1 & 2). The solicit for this book basically tells you everything that happens (which is kind of…
After delays with multiple titles, I’m eager for this week’s releases! Can’t we just get them a day early since a number of these have been delayed a couple of weeks? Or now, maybe? Right now? Come on! Pronto Tonto! Bring on Wednesday because I’m chomping at the bit for a few of these books!…
Well, well, well… Convergence is coming! If I’m being honest, I have mixed emotions about the whole event. I just get cautious with big events. That being said, I’m really excited to revisit some of these Pre New 52 characters! There’s definitely a lot to get excited about: Question, Cassandra Cain, Nightwing, Oracle, Azrael… It…
After using the hard copies for the last few reviews and a number of conversations with other readers and community members, I decided to take this issue into three parts using the Digital First issues. The good news was that I enjoyed this issue far more than the previous three; the bad news being that almost all the…
First, let me start by apologizing for this being a week later than usual. The powers that be decided that they wanted to release the data on the year in review for 2014 before the December data. I guess that means it isn't my fault since I had to wait on them, but since they…
I was curious to see how things would play out now that Robin has returned from an early grave, with new powers to boot. I can confidently say that I was pleasantly surprised. I was about as eager to read this issue as Damian was to go out on patrol. The Dynamic Duo are back…
It’s been a very rough few months for Jason Todd and his strange trio of misfit outlaws. Between alien narcotic rings, Venom addiction, and being set on fire by one’s girlfriend, things are far from the ideal. Since Scott Lobdell returned to map out the narrative of Red Hood in his second stint with the…
Will Pfeifer and Scott Hepburn bring us another issue of Teen Titans with a brand new member added to the roster. Power Girl! Not the buxom beauty that we're accustomed to, but a fresh face teen who's been bestowed with the powers of the Earth 2 heroine. Issue #6 delivers some quick action early. Picking up right…
Chapter three: The Secret is January's issue of The Amazo Virus arc in the Justice League title. After a failed assassination attempt on Lex Luthor, an abandoned experiment of his has been released into the world. This issue starts off with a screen call from Colonel Trevor to the U.S. President explaining the dire situation…
Right out the gate, I will say that I loved everything about this issue (sans the number of ads). If this is the type of storytelling and understanding of the dynamic between the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel that I have to look forward to in the upcoming Batman vs Superman film, then…
