8 on Worlds' Finest: Future's End #1 reviewHere’s another Future’s End Month issue, but unlike last time I visited five years into the future, I got a bit more of what I was expecting coming into this whole experience. Worlds’ Finest has been getting increasingly better as our heroine pair of Helena Wayne and Karen Starr, better known as Huntress and Power…
Enjoy Batman News' exclusive sneak peek at the finale of Jiro Kuwata's classic The Revenge of Professor Gorilla storyline that will be available for download this Saturday via the DC Comics App, Readdcentertainment.com, iBooks, comiXology.com, Google Play, Kindle Store, and Nook store. Batman: Jiro Kuwata Batmanga is the first time the 1960's manga has been…
New Suicide Squad: Futures End #1 "The Replacements" Written by: Sean Ryan Art by: Andre Coelho Based on the solicitation, I felt like this issue had a lot of potential to be really good. Since we've only had two issues, I was really hoping for New Suicide Squad to accomplish what Grayson accomplished, and give…
This issue of Futures End excites me for the most part. We get more than one panel of Terry, Tim shaves his burly beard, and there is a decent amount of tension being built up with several characters. With nineteen issues of backstory I don't see a reason this should be cause for celebration; but, as we…
Back in 1991, DC comics published a story called Armageddon 2001. It was a cross over events that included every corner of the DC Universe in which a hero, called Monarch, turns villain, kills all the other heroes, and takes over the world; in order to prevent this future from occurring, a character, called Waverider,…
Three fairly lengthy stories this go-round instead of the usual four, but still something to enjoy for everybody: a little bit of humor, a little bit of horror, and lots of emphasis on detective work throughout. No need for fancy introductions, let’s get straight to the point. “I...Batman” By Aaron Lopresti Featuring Norman Carver, Jim…
One last outing with Gail Simone at the helm, this time 5 years into the future in this Futures End tie-end that is sure to raise more questions than provide answers. Batgirl has become Bete Noire (the Black Beast, of “Beast” as she’s referred to throughout), and is the silent, shadowy leader of a team…
Birds of Prey: Futures End #1 “The Red League” Written by Christy Marx Art by Robson Rocha We’re continuing Futures End month with a glance at where the Birds of Prey… er… Dinah is in the future. The last time we saw Dinah, she was flying into the sunset with Condor, so what will she…
I've heard many people say that Mob Boss doesn't really suit Selina. But let us not forget that she wasn't always a cat burglar: while a thief from her very first appearance, she didn't rely on the skills she uses today but those of a master of disguise, carrying out her heists through deception and…
Print issue No. 11 collects the Digital Firsts 21 & 22, “Crashing to Earth” and “Canary’s Revenge”, and if you thought we might get a cool-down or some grieving space after last issue’s devastating turn of events, you’d be dead wrong. Because superhero comics are all about big drama and Injustice has been dealing out…
It’s week 2 of Future’s End! I know that the majority feel that these stories will be pointless, but I still feel that there are hints as to future plots in each one. Also, if they are nearly as good as last week’s Grayson: Futures End 1, then I don’t care if it leads to…
My biggest problem with the Futures End stuff is that it just doesn't "matter". By that I mean, it isn't going to have any lasting effect on the universe as a whole! They are just little "what if" stories that DC are throwing out there for the fun of it. Sure, you're going to have…
Tiny Titans: Return to the Treehouse #4 Written by Art Baltazar and Franco Illustrated by Art Baltazar You need to look at this squid. He's a friend. If that's not the cutest thing you've ever seen, you need to stop reading this review right now, go back and look at it for awhile, and come…
Batman '66 Meets the Green Hornet #4: "The Treacherous Snare" Written by Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman Illustrated by Ty Templeton Colored by Tony Aviña Lettered by Wes Abbott Cover by Alex Ross This one will read better in the trade, methinks. We've reached the halfway point of the series, and after the high-octane first…
It's amazing how varied each issue of Futures End can be. Even within the same issue, one section can bring you up and another will bring you down. Last week was a good week for the title. This week, being the start of Futures End month, you'd think DC would hit hard like last week to hopefully snag a…
Justice League comes to us delayed for a couple issues, but it's nonetheless here. Do you remember what's going on with the new Power Ring? Jessica Cruz was chosen by Power Ring to be its next host. The Doom Patrol and the Justice League along with Lex Luthor all converge on Jessica Cruz's Power Ring breakdown.…
I don’t get it. I don’t get all of this. I don’t get the need for this, this Future’s End Month, and quite honestly, I don’t get the purpose behind Future’s End in general. I don’t get why we need to have some years’ long “epic” story, crossing dimensions and killing off a host of…
The September-long Futures End one-shots are rolling in. For me, it begins with Grayson and I couldn't be happier. I enjoyed this comic so much that I immediately had to read it again as soon as I finished. You will have to do the same, so be prepared. If you're having doubts about buying this issue, skip down to…
Kyle Higgins puts forth a super tight narrative, with no sidetracks or interruptions, featuring revealed secrets, classic Batman action, and two awesome villains! Surely, this issue should rank right up there with the best of them, and this is what I wish I could tell you, but sadly that is not the case. Don't get me…
That cover is worth the price alone! Last year, I felt that the villain's month covers were little more than a gimmick to draw in buyers and whenever the comic shop had standard covers available I would always buy them because I was only interested in the story and I didn't think the lenticular covers…
