19 on DC Comics announces third round of Convergence titlesKeeping stride with their previous announcements, DC has released another batch of tie-in titles. The full list, courtesy of SuperHero Hype: BATMAN AND THE OUTSIDERS Writer: Marc Andreyko Artist: Carlos D’Anda Colorist: Gabe Eltaeb After a year under the dome, the Outsiders have gone their separate ways, but when OMAC attacks, Batman must find out…
Before we get into this week’s comics, I want to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving! I know that technically only the US is celebrating Thanksgiving this week, but there’s no reason anyone outside the US can’t take a moment to share what they’re thankful for. Obviously I’m thankful for the standards: friends, family, my house…
First off, I can’t believe that Thanksgiving is Thursday! Where has November gone? Where has 2014 gone? This whole year has been a blur! On the plus side, I have a long weekend ahead of me, and it will be the perfect time to knock out some comics! Turkey, stuffing, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes,…
Teen Titans is on a rocky reboot. What started strong in issue one quickly began to go down hill, especially in the last two issues...and we're only on issue four. While I this month's addition to the series is a slight uptick overall, it's still mediocre at best. The issue opens up with a classic "give the hero…
Quick question, and please be honest and forthcoming. Do any of you care about this book? Or rather, do any of you out there read this book? I haven’t seen the numbers for this series’ sales or for the number of consistent subscribers to the video game, but I went to my local comic store…
Starting this month, I will be featuring a monthly post that details the rankings and sales of top comics. This is something I have always done for myself in order to keep track of a book's popularity, potential for cancellation, or to weight the effectiveness of a stunt/creative team switch being used to boost a…
Batwoman #36 "How In the World Did We Get Here?" Part 2 Written by Marc Andreyko Art by Georges Jeanty I'm going to start referring to Andreyko's Batwoman as "the slide to NOcenti" because the book is definitely headed that way. The writing is sub-par at best, with unrecognizable characters and disjointed plots. Is it…
I like issues like these. It's one story the whole way through. No major scene changes. It's four main characters featured throughout the entire comic. Jason Rusch, Ronnie Raymond, Madion Payne, and Tim Drake. No Grifter. No Frankenstein. No Fifty Sue (for you haters...I have my moments). No pigs in a blanket or whatever that English…
Batman/Superman "The Nemesis Objective" has mind wiped itself of all the mind wipe hullabaloo that came before. We have a brand new arc that is a good jumping on spot for new readers, much like Justice League this month. Also, like Justice League, there is a new artist on board and I'm very excited about it. For all the newness in…
The latest arc of Red Hood and the Outlaws continues down the dangerous slope of drug abuse, with each of our heroes facing trials that they will be inevitably forced to overcome or fall in the process. It really does feel like forever since I’ve gotten settled down and remembered just what exactly was going…
Batman ’66: The Lost Episode #1: “The Two-Way Crimes of Two-Face!” Written by Len Wein Based on an outline by Harlan Ellison Illustrated by Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez Colored by Alex Sinclair Lettered by Wes Abbott Cover by Alex Ross Now that's a list of talent right there. You've got Len Wein, creator of Wolverine and…
This review is done a little differently, so just bear with me. Issue #7 “Arrival” is very good, probably the best issue in this series since Issue #1. I admit I may have been a bit overzealous in my review of Issue #2, but this is a very, very good book. Now, why such the…
Multiversity: Pax Americana #1 “In Which We Burn” Written by Grant Morrison Art by Frank Quitely Yes, you read that correctly, I gave this issue a ten. A ten! The highest score I’ve given other than this, is a nine, and that’s only happened twice (ironically, they were both on Catwoman, which also has the…
I think the first thing I must say about this issue is the art. Jason Fabok's art is extraordinarily solid. The title page is nothing but a Metropolis street with crashed cars and $100 bills floating around... but it looks amazing. He has a knack for those stunning hero shots similar to Jim Lee with…
Part four of the Robin Rises saga is sure to delight many readers. Whereas other titles take a more subtle approach to Batman, this one is letting Bruce off the leash --with rabies. I have qualms with some mechanics of the story, but reading it in light of past issues and where the story is heading,…
What is the worst thing about this issue? You're on the last page before you realize it! I usually take notes as I read, for the sake of these reviews, but I found myself on the last page without having written anything down. I was so engrossed in the story, that I just read it…
When the title of this issue is called “Not Kansas” you have to be prepared to not only leave Coney Island, but the world as we know it. Last we saw our newly formed not-so-dynamic duo of Harley Quinn and Power Girl, they were about to get into fisticuffs in a shopping mall with the…
I would like to take this moment today, dear Injustice, to say that you’re among friends. We care about you very very much and I feel like it’s time for an intervention. Something’s just not right and I’d like to try to understand what’s happening with you. There are some uneasy undercurrents in your plotting,…
Batman ’66 Meets the Green Hornet #6: “The End of Crime's Tether” Written by Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman Illustrated by Ty Templeton Colored by Tony Aviña Lettered by Wes Abbott Cover by Alex Ross All good things, right? Here we've reached the end of the story Kevin Smith, Ralph Garman, and Ty Templeton (with…
Following the initial announcement and last week's details about the Convergence tie-ins, DC has released another set of details. Last week we announced the first ten 2-part miniseries of DC Comics' massive 2 month publishing event CONVERGENCE which is taking place in April and May 2015. Well, we told you that was just the beginning.…
