5 on Detective Comics #1034 reviewAbout a month after the final issue of Future State: Dark Detective, we finally get to read the start of Tamaki’s present-day story. I find Dark Detective to be a flawed but very entertaining story, and so I’ve been cautiously optimistic about Tamaki’s Tec run. But is this first chapter as solid as I’m hoping…
After a day of delays and cancelations of flights, I’m finally home to knock this out real quick! Fortunately, to make things a little better, we have a relatively strong slate of titles this week. Alright, on to business. This week’s releases are listed according to our anticipation scale, with titles listed in alphabetical order…
Long ago – when the pyramids were still young – Egyptian kings played a game of great and terrible power. But these Shadow Games erupted into a war which threatened to destroy the entire— Oh, sorry. I accidentally started reciting the opening to the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. What was I saying? Ah, yes. Long ago –…
Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point #1 isn't even out yet and we already have a preview for the second installment! Now, for those of you who don't know, Batman is the best thing ever and Fortnite is a completely free online game where you mine and build forts and fight to be the last one standing in…
Well, we knew this was going to happen sooner or later. Brian Michael Bendis entering the world of DC Comics was one of the biggest creative shakeups that the two companies have had in some time... though I can’t say I’m all for what DC got out of the deal. From Daredevil to Immortal Hulk,…
Catwoman #29 is another strong outing for Ram V and Fernando Blanco that manages to expand the scope of the series without falling under the weight of its ambition. There are aspects of the narrative that feel a little sudden, but the added characters spice up the series and gently nudge the book into a…
Nightwing #78 has a clear goal in mind. Tom Taylor sets up a compelling status quo that effectively leaves the “Ric Saga” in the past and even downplays some recent events such as “Joker War”. There’s a lot of maneuvering in the script that’s largely hidden by Taylor’s adept ability to imbue heart into the…
I feel like I haven’t been able to say this for some time now… but I’m really excited for this week’s releases! And if I’m being honest, it’s just two titles. Which books are going to have me racing to my LCS the moment they open? Well, if you know me, then you probably already…
From a pure nostalgia standpoint, Batman: The Adventures Continue is one of my favorite Batman comics in years. I mean, you have Batman: The Animated Series creators Paul Dini and Alan Burnett writing a pitch-perfect continuation of the classic television show, with spot-on art from comics vet Ty Templeton and colorist Monica Kubina. It was…
BURBANK, CA, March 11, 2021 — DC today announced DC Pride, an 80-page anthology comic featuring LGBTQIA+ characters from across the DC Universe, and Crush & Lobo, a new eight-issue miniseries written by Mariko Tamaki (This One Summer, Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass) with art by Amancay Nahuelpan (Nightwing, Wonder Woman). Crush & Lobo will launch on June 1 and DC Pride will publish on June 8.…
Arrives in Comic Shops & On Participating Digital Platforms April 6th, 2021 Tensions are sky-high in Gotham City following the attack on Arkham Asylum, and public opinion and unrest are starting to boil over. The Dark Knight has his hands full juggling the investigation of the reappearance of an old enemy and the rise of…
After much anticipation from some folks, I’m sure, Joker’s solo series is here! Five-hundred people have been murdered in a gas attack. The world blames the Joker, but did he really do it? Will it even matter when James Gordon tracks him down? Folks, I really do like to like things. Problem is, fickle and…
The idea of Batman as an urban legend is a curious one, and I have conflicting feelings about it. On the one hand, it makes sense and gives him a sense of mystique. “Have you heard about the Bat-Man?” lowlifes and criminals will whisper to each other in hushed tones, almost afraid that even uttering…
We’ve got a light week ahead of us, but it should still be an interesting one. Two anticipated titles make their debut (Batman: Urban Legends and Joker), and while I’m looking forward to one, the other I could definitely do without! What are you looking forward to reading this week? And which story from Batman:…
The general mood around DC’s latest “shake up” seems to be one of skepticism, and that is one hundred percent valid. Over the past few years they’ve thrown a nonstop deluge of crises, reboots, and relaunches ranging from nonsensical, to half-assed, to dead-on-arrival at us. The real question, to me at least, is why do…
You know them, you probably have ambivalent feelings about them, they're the Suicide Squad! This book, presumably an attempt to both drum up and piggyback off of the hype for the upcoming movie, focuses on a Suicide Squad not before seen in comics or film. Personally, I've never been in love with the squad, but…
I have a secret to share with you guys. I love alternate universes. No, I mean I LOVE alternate universes. As a kid, I would spend hours watching the Justice Lords episode of Justice League. The concepts of "what ifs" and endless possibilities of universes out there would consume my imagination for days on end.…
Man-Bat is back, and I couldn't be happier. This series has been the most pleasant surprise of the year so far, and I'm still full steam ahead on the hype train. Last issue was a perfect opening to this odyssey to redemption, and the road ahead is shaping up to be a rocky one. Not…
Future State is behind us! Infinite Frontier is here! And we’re back with the new, but not-so-new-more-like-the-same Batman from James Tynion… And just like that, with a single issue, I’m back to wishing I wasn’t reviewing this book because it’s just not good. Let me start with something positive. This issue is written in a…
The Infinite Frontier is headed out way this summer following the release of Infinite Frontier #0. Infinite Frontier #0 is hitting comic shops, and now that will be followed up with a six-part series. The event will kick off with the first issue by Joshua Williamson and Xermanico with covers by Mitch Gerads on June…
