23 on Upcoming Comics: September 3rd, 2014It’s Futures End month! How do we think this is going to turn out? Last year, DC pushed Villains Month, and I felt that it ultimately served no purpose. There were issues here and there that were quite enjoyable, but overall, I felt that creatively, it was a fail (but it definitely did not fail…
Batman ’66 #14: "The Batrobot Takes Flight/Bat-Villains Unite" Written by Jeff Parker Illustrated by Paul Rivoche and Craig Rousseau Colored by Tony Aviña Letters by Wes Abbott Mortality. We are all but men, mortal and finite, and even the greatest of heroes such as the Batman recognize this. What will happen when the Batman retires,…
Catwoman #34: “Remote Life” Written by Ann NOcenti Art by Patrick Olliffe For a while, I never thought this day would come... Today, Ann Nocenti released her last issue of Catwoman! I cannot begin to tell you how overjoyed I am. I know I've been hard on Ann, but the quality of work she turned…
If you've been following this series, you know the snail's pace that each story unfolds. Some story lines go a couple issues before they are even touched upon. Where is Tim? Where is Terry? Why do these stories seem like they belong in separate comics? Well, let me assure you: it has not been an…
Perhaps ironically titled “There are No Rules”, issue No. 10 tests readers’ expectations of what a Harley Quinn comic book ought to be. Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti left us off two weeks ago with Harley being introduced into the underworld of Skate Club. Here we pick up with Harley’s first bout in the no-holds-barred,…
Pardon my French, but Alfred Pennyworth is an utter badass! You would be forgiven for forgetting this fact as we are accustomed to seeing him do nothing more than make sandwiches and throw out witty banter, but this gentleman is more accomplished than most people give him credit for. Since Alfred has such an extensive…
This must be the Madden video game curse for comic books. Apparently, if an athlete is featured on the cover of a new Madden video game, that player will suffer significant injuries during the following season. Admittedly, I don't watch/care for much football, but I can safely say this: if an artist's name is "Lee"…
Featuring an Origin Story for Red Hood If you’ve been collecting these so far, get ready for that decision-making moment when you have to figure out whether you want the whole series just for itself or if you only like the Bat-related issues because after this one, No. 6 has no Bat-family related origin (Huntress…
Print issue No. 10 collects the Digital Firsts 19 & 20, “Air Assault” and “Gordon”. And while I’m going to drop the spoilers under cuts, suffice it to say that if you have played the game, you probably either a.) have a fairly good idea of how things are going down in this prequel, or…
Apologies for posting this a little late. I intended to get it to you guys sooner. You have my permission to call me a slacker in the comments, just be nice and add a positive adjective in front of the word “slacker.” I’m definitely open to anything along the terms of “funny slacker,” “cute slacker,”…
Batman Beyond Universe #13 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 Apologies for the longer than usual credits list, but everyone who worked on this issue deserves recognition where it's due.…
It looks like DC is having some minor issues with their website, but I believe I've caught everything coming out this week. If you see I missed something, let me know and I'll add it. I also need to post November Solicitations. That should be completed by tonight, so keep an eye out! This past week has been…
Batwoman #34 “Night of the Hunter” Written by Marc Andreyko Art by Moritat and Jeremy Haun This issue is supposed to change everything. Does it? Kind of, and we’ll get to those details later. But first, I want to discuss the cover. I love this cover! I meant to comment on how nice it is…
Teen Titans Go! #5: "Prank'd/Mystery Box" Written by Sholly Fisch, Amy Wolfram Illustrated by Jorge Corona, Lea Hernandez Colors by Jeremy Lawson Letters by Wes Abbott Now this book is just plain fun. A bit of history: it took me awhile to get into the first Teen Titans television series. I liked the concept and…
Doing more than barely creep forward, this issue of Futures End manages to keep my interest most of the way through. The details of past issues and the interweaving of all those dozens of characters finds a place here. You know how each issue is usually divided in five or six sections? For the past ten issues…
Multiversity #1: “House of Heroes” Written by Grant Morrison Art by Ivan Reis Multiversity is here! Morrison is back! And there's a lot going on! A LOT! Now I'm sure most people are going to praise this book because of Morrison's reputation, the impact he's made on comics, and/or the fact that he's doing something…
Last issue was great in my opinion. It was fun, exciting, and fairly cohesive. What we have in this second issue is an attempt to build on the previous one with moderate success. Rocafort isn't given the material to shine like the action scenes in #1, but it looks great nonetheless. I don't want to…
I can't help but think of Batman: The Animated Series when I see that Gleason cover. Next month we'll be treated to another Bruce Timm-inspired cover as well. In fact, this series as a whole has a similar feel to it that BTAS had; where, at times, it's light-hearted and at others it's very serious. It's an enduring quality.…
Red Hood and the Outlaws has had its fair share of intense battles and more somber moments, but overall has been a rather light romp through a series of space adventures and explorations into the supernatural. Fun may not be the right word, but it certainly hasn’t had the gravitas of a Batman or the…
Maybe all it takes is a change in the media form to convince me that this book still has some sort of pulse. Perhaps I have been tricked by the pixelated convenience which is Digital First issues, or, hopefully, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse has taken a turn towards being an acceptable book to…
