0 on Birds of Prey #31 reviewBirds of Prey #31 “Death Jump” Written by Christy Marx Art by Robson Rocha The battle with Ra’s al Ghul has ended. Mother Eve is now physically ten years old, having successfully completed her immortality process, and the Birds are kind of in a weird transition period. They helped Mother Eve by protecting her and…
Seems like every day we're learning more and more about big changes coming to the New 52 this October and today DC Comics told MTV that Gail Simone will soon be leaving Batgirl for a brand-new, yet-to-be-named series. However, Simone won't be the only one leaving the title. Batgirl will be getting an entirely new…
New Suicide Squad #1 "Pure Insanity" Written by Sean Ryan Art by Jeremy Roberts The New Suicide Squad is here, and it's an all-new team! Wait, there's some old team members... The New Suicide Squad is here and it's a semi-new team!!! Woo hoo!!! Two of our favorite misfits are back: Harley Quinn and Deadshot,…
Are you ready for heart-pounding action? Do you want to have your eyes bulge out of your head in utter amazement? Naa, you're not here for that. You're here for the slow build. It's a detailed marathon after all. But hey, some really neat visuals take place in this issue even though it's a fairly…
It would seem that the entire World’s Finest run has built up to this one issue, with Helena and Karen returning to Earth 2 after being displaced on Earth-Prime for nearly five years. For the full recap of what’s been happening and how I’ve personally felt about this series since the very beginning, there’s the…
It’s finally here. The next chapter in the former Boy Wonder’s life is upon us. After reading this issue and mulling over it for a while, I am fully vested in this title. It has its questionable moments, but it’s about like judging a movie based on the first ten minutes: you can’t fully appreciate…
Nightwing #30 “Setting Son” comes to us with a certain... trepidation. We don’t have Kyle Higgins writing for us. Instead, we are given a prelude to the upcoming (out as of July 9, 2014) series Grayson, co-written by Tim Seeley and Tom King. Nightwing fans everywhere are decrying/celebrating/worrying about this move by DC. Of course…
This week in Eternal we are treated to the Penguin being an absolute psychopath and boy is it intense! No, seriously, you could cut the tension in this issue with a trick knife from a Penguin's umbrella! After reading this, I can't say Blackgate is the right spot for him, send that boy to Arkham.…
I'm just being blindsided this week with surprises, first in Eternal and now, here as well. We are faced with new information that makes us re-evaluate a lot of what has transpired up till now. This issue stays fairly strong on the detective front, once again, offering up multiple roads to the same destination as…
Well okay now! This is more like it! “Enemies and Allies” is part two of a new arc focusing on Batgirl’s attempt to wrangle Knightfall down like an obstreperous calf in the rodeo that is Gotham. She’s got help in the form of ally Black Canary and newcomer Huntress, though it’s not all fist-bumps and…
Tell me again why you’re not reading this series? Last week Injustice vol. 2 was released, which now puts all of Year One at your disposal. Get it, read it, and catch the heck up because if you’ve been listening to the buzz, Year Three is on the horizon and things are about to go…
Literary Caligula, Ann Nocenti, will be leaving Catwoman this October and is being replaced by newcomer Genevieve Valentine, according to an announcement from DC Comics this morning. After over a year of seeing Selina Kyle's personal style resemble that of Ke$ha (now spelled without the dollar sign), her adventures take her underground to battle subterranean…
Welcome back! I hope everyone in the U.S. had a happy and safe 4th! Mine was full of sun, BBQ, and ice cream! I’m sure you noticed, but we have a new “Upcoming Comics” logo! Now, I know we all love the former image (Every time I see it, I’m convinced that it was a…
Birds of Prey #30 “Soul Crisis” Written by Christy Marx Art by Robson Rocha This issue is almost nothing but action, so there isn’t too much to say. Regardles, it’s done pretty damn well! With the battle finally here, it prevents Marx from delving too far into emotions and relationships – which is definitely not…
Birds of Prey #29 “The Eve of Battle” Written by Christy Marx Art by Robson Rocha Before I jump into “The Eve of Battle,” I want to briefly cover issue #28. It was a “Gothtopia” tie-in, and considering Marx didn’t even devote the whole issue to “Gothtopia,” I think it’s clear she didn’t want to…
Birds of Prey #27 “Loose Ends” Written by Christy Marx Art by Daniel Sampere We’ve finally moved past the Basilisk storyline! I wasn’t a fan of Basilisk in Suicide Squad, and I definitely wasn’t a fan of it here. Unfortunately, as we move into this new arc, I feel like the book is still bogged…
Tiny Titans: Return to the Treehouse #2 Written by Art Baltazar and Franco Illustrated by Art Baltazar This month finds the Tiny Titans venturing north to the Fortress of Solitude, and it's as charming and welcome a story as you'd expect, though not much more. To recap, last issue saw the Titans lose their treehouse…
A Caveat There's a point when I'm walking my dog (Harvey) where he has fought me and the leash for so long that he finally gives up and just walks beside me like he should have all along. If he's lucky, he'll relinquish the pulling and tugging early on so he'll get to enjoy the…
Batman '66 Meets the Green Hornet: "The Heroes Fight Back" Written by Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman Illustrated by Ty Templeton Colors by Tony Aviña Letters by Wes Abbott Cover by Alex Ross Did you guys see We're living in exciting times, my friends. Anyway, on to the topic at hand. If you were to…
I'm not gonna lie; I absolutely loved the opening arc of this series. Seeing Bruce and Clark interact with each other at two different stages of life was both intimate and funny. A lot of people didn't care for Jae Lee's artwork, however, I thought it lent the focus toward the inner monologues and made…
