0 on Earth 2 #3 reviewLast issue we saw the birth of Earth 2’s Flash when Jay Garrick was imbued with the power of super-speed. Alan Scott and his boyfriend Sam were also caught in a massive explosion aboard a Hong Kong bullet train. Oh, and we met Hawkgirl! So a lot has happened. In “Jade Knight” we slow down…
Suicide Squad #30: "Walled In" by Sean Ryan and Andre Coelho After some ups and (mostly) downs, Suicide Squad releases it's final issue before rebooting with the New Suicide Squad in July. "Walled In" picks up in the aftermath of Forever Evil - you know, the event that took forever to end, and apparently takes…
Batman’s been bouncing around the world looking for his son’s body that was stolen by Ra’s al Ghul. He and Frankenstein have found themselves at what was once Nanda Parbat near another “special” Lazarus Pit. The solicits are true in that “The hunt for Robin concludes!” because technically Batman has found his son’s body. The…

With the deaths of The Trinity of Wonders in the Apokolips War, the Earth has gone five years without heroes. Since then, the world has been slowly recovering, using the memories of Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman as inspirations to form a peaceful planet. It is with this in mind that we enter into a…
A one-shot issue with emotional depth, character development, a resolved storyline, AND some good action sequences all in one? This is certainly a good sign for Red Hood and the Outlaws going forward if this is the quality of work that will be featured in the coming issues. Having finished off the All-Caste and the…
I’ve felt that the last year has been lost in the convoluted mysticism of the All-Caste, the Untitled, and most recently the League of Assassins has held back Red Hood and the Outlaws. That seems to have blissfully come to an end with “The Rage of Ra’s al Ghul.” Unclear plot lines, unresolved issues, and…
Few things have so bluntly and unrelentingly punched me in the face like the first issue of Earth 2. “The Price of Victory” offers us a story we have seen numerous times before: the Parademons of Apokolips are invading a war-torn Earth, and it is up to a valiant group of the universe’s greatest heroes to…
It’s been a while since we’ve touched Red Hood and the Outlaws, so let’s do a quick recap. Jason Todd, Starfire, and Arsenal are battling Ra’s al Ghul and the League of Assassins at the climax of the arc that has followed an amnesiac Jason taking over as head of the assassins. For some reason,…
Welcome to the first issue of Justice League 3000, and if the story lives up to the premise, I have a feeling that this is going to be an awesome ride. A brief overview for those who have either not been following closely or simply have not yet heard of this title: Justice League 3000…
Batman Beyond Universe #10 Review The epic "Justice Lords Beyond" mega-crossover continues this month in what is a classic example of a middle chapter, but that doesn't make it any less effective or exciting. Justice Lords Beyond: The Ruins of Wayne and New Threads Written by Kyle Higgins Illustrated by Thony Silas Colors by Emilio…
Riddle me this...what do you get when you cross a classic super villain death trap, Gordon defying the laws of physics, fire breathing, and scenes reflecting the recent Christopher Nolan films. You get an awesome Batman comic book, that's what. Given that Batman is celebrating his 75th anniversary this year it would not be hard…
This issue is quite a shock both in it's tone and visual style. In the industry it is as common as it is uncommon for a cover artist to also contribute to the inside of an issue. While there is nothing wrong with having different artists doing different duties it can be quite a shock…
This is the first issue of Eternal that has had a misstep. Over the last ten issues eternal has introduced us to almost a dozen plots and with that many balls in the air it can be difficult to pace things properly. This issue is the first to show use that it might be crumpling…
This week in Batman Eternal we go on an investigation into the past of our main antagonist, an old rivalry heats up, and somehow a minor character survives what should have been a fatal attack from two issues ago. Oh yeah, and Batman fights ninjas!!! One of the things I am really loving about Batman…
When presenting a story to an audience there are several routes one can utilize in order to deliver it. The route I prefer is through the eyes of the main character. When applying this method to Batman it works strongest in conjunction with a mystery tale. You follow the Dark Knight as he makes his…
Batman Eternal started off strong in the first 4 issues of the series. Setting up an intriguing scenario in which a villain from the past is longing for a Gotham of the past, before the freaks took over. Carmine Falcone says, "I can still see Gotham as it has always been, what it is fighting…
Four stories, each with its own personality in both narrative and art. Let’s dive right in! These guys are also fun, if featured only briefly in the 1st story “The Beautiful Ugly” By Derek Fridolfs & Kenneth Elliott Jones; art & cover by Jason Shawn Alexander Featuring Two-Face/Harvey Dent and the Penguin This story takes…
“Deadline Part One: The Razors Under the Floorboards” Batgirl has been a bit all over the place lately. And I’m not referring to Barbara’s ongoing conflict over her relationship with the crime-fighting Bat Family, her love-life, or the trauma of her incarcerated father. I’m talking about the book itself, which appears to be suffering from…
“Nocturnal Omission” Poison Ivy has come back to Coney Island on a tip from Sy Borgman (of all people) as to how they might discover the identity of the person who has placed a hit on Harley. This hit has precipitated half a dozen assassins to come after her so far and the bounty keeps…
