43 on Batman Eternal #25 reviewJames Tynion IV crafts a character driven story, but I felt like he failed to represent half of the characters in an appropriate way. It had a strong plot and some great scenes between Batman and his scene partners but at the same time the visuals were less than stellar and some of the other…
Batman Beyond Universe #14 Written by Kyle Higgins and Alec Siegel Illustrated by Phil Hester, Craig Rousseau, and Thony Silas Inked by Eric Gapstur Colored by Guy Major and Nick Filardi Lettered by Saida Temofonte This arc is all about secrets and, even more so, how they effect others. Whether kept for good or ill,…
Batman ’66 #15: "Caught In the Widow's Web" Written by Jeff Parker Illustrated by Wilfredo Torres Colors by Tony Aviña Letters by Wes Abbott You watch a clip like this one and it has everything that made Batman great: over-the-top peril, charming low-budget effects, and absolutely brilliant deadpan humor. Even with forgettable one-time villains like…
You know you're in for something really special on seeing the title page with “Crappily Ever After” rendered in nicely poo-shaped lettering. Harley Quinn always keeps it classy! On reading this, I decided not to ask all those questions about why we have a Harley Quinn Futures End book when this series doesn’t appear to…
Print issue No. 12 collects the Digital Firsts 23 & 24, “Fall of the Gods” and “World’s End”, and wraps up the tortuous journey that has been Year Two. This time around I bought a pint of pistachio gelato well in advance of reading because the last couple of issues have been very hard to…
Hey! There’s only two Futures End titles being covered this week, then we get to jump into October where pretty much every book picks up after the events of Batman Eternal… I know… it kind of kills some of the mystery of Eternal. Regardless, Eternal tells such a good story, that I’m honestly ok with…
Futures End Month hits Batman/Superman this week and it's an overall welcomed visit. We aren't treated to anything particularly new or groundbreaking, nor are we given an overly moving story. What we have is the comic book equivalent of "vamping", where in a song a musician may repeat phrases or rhythms over and over for effect. The effect…
Coming off a series reboot, Teen Titans is forced to take a break with Futures End Month. Like waves in the ocean, these Futures End Month titles ebb and flow with good quality stories. Unfortunately for a series that's trying to gain traction, it ebbs kinda bad. SPOILERS THROUGHOUT ENTIRE ARTICLE Like most every other Futures End title, the story begins "five years from now".…
Batwoman: Futures End #1 "Blood Sisters" Written by Marc Andreyko Art by Jason Masters Before I get into this issue, I want to comment on the solicitation... It's infuriating. "Now a creature of the night, Batwoman turns against her former lover, Nocturna, in a final, deadly conflict." This issue is far from that. So far,…
I never thought I would say it, but I was enthralled with a Future’s End Month issue. The previous issue’s I’ve reviewed have mostly fallen flat or piqued my interest, but overall have failed to capture the essence of what the future holds in store for our heroes. Red Hood, however, manages to knock this…
Where the last two issues have been rather jumbled and spent more time explaining and less time showing any really crisis, this latest issue of Infinite Crisis is focused in a good way. We are given a sense of actual progression through the story, and we’re presented with an action-filled and entertaining romp through the…
I think we can all gather together and say, "Thank you Ryan Sook. You have bestowed upon us so many superb covers thus far in Futures End. We all loved Constantine sitting down in the sand. Several of us can't get that purple guy out of our brains from issue #8. The image of Ronnie and Jason…
Multiversity: Society of Super-Heroes #1 “Conquerors from the Counter World” Written by Grant Morrison Art by Chris Sprouse Be honest, after last month, how many of you were nervous to see my review of this issue? I definitely pissed some people off with my previous review of Multiversity, but what can I say? I call…
Scribblenauts Unmasked: A Crisis of Imagination #9: "The Ultimate Battle of Ultimate Finality"/"The End... And The Beginning" Written by Josh Elder Illustrated by Adam Archer Colors by Ian Herring Letters by Saida Temofonte Question: do you find this scene funny? Of course you do. Airplane! is a comedy classic and Leslie Nielsen's deadpan delivery was…
Ray Fawkes makes a good effort to make the reader feel as if they are still reading a Batman and Robin title even though it's Futures End month. Unlike other events where it's a crapshoot as to what story you'll find behind the cover of your favorite series, events in Batman and Robin's pages reflect themes in previous issues. Heretic,…
We take a break from our delayed Justice League series to answer the call of Futures End month. Here, Jeff Lemire (co-writer of Futures End) takes us on a far-out and heady journey five years into the future. It is a big departure from the Justice League as we know it. Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman are all absent. For you…
This adventure encompasses everything that I have come to expect from Batman Eternal: abounding action, elaborate schemes, and shadowy villains!!!! Another penchant this issue displayed in abundance was the use of villains with no attempt to reference who they are or what their deal is. I love how Eternal is completely unapologetic in this manner: …
For those who did not want to throw down $56.81 plus tax to read every issue of Futures End so far: this is for you. For those who got depressed, downhearted, or disenchanted and dropped the title but want to catch back up: this is for you. For those who didn't care at all but are suddenly flushed with…
Woo hoo! We’ve got Annuals, Christmas stories, and I’m going to be broke and completely unsocial on Christmas Eve! DC released their official solicitations for December of this year, and I’m bringing them here to you! Be warned, this whole post is practically one large spoiler! If you don’t want to have a glimpse into…
We’re heading into week 3 of Futures End month, and I think this whole Futures End concept is going to create some fatigue for many readers this week, if it hasn’t already. Batman & Robin: Futures End #1 will most likely be the highlight of the FE titles, potentially Justice League… maybe Teen Titans… Hell,…
