3 on White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn #5 reviewWe last left Harley in a bind. She was way behind. Will Quimby be willing to make a deal? Will one of these cliffhangers actually lead to meaningful or interesting consequences? Will we get yet another thud of a flashback? Am I too cynical? Keep reading to find out. STORY I was — to borrow…
We left off the last issue with a sort-of-tense, sort-of-cliff-hanger: the Starlet hiding in Quimby’s childhood room closet like a creeper. Would she attack Harley? Would Quimby’s actual mother have to knife fight her youthful doppelganger? No? No? Oh… STORY Mostly, White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn #4 retells the Joker’s origin, yet again... Speaking of…
Well, would you look at that? Future State has come and gone, and now it’s time for us to get our first real taste of what DC has in store for us for the near future. We definitely got some teases for potential tone and direction of some titles over the past two months, so…
When we last left White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn, Simon Trent (The Gray Ghost) had been captured by the killer, now dubbed The Starlet. Finally, the series has some stakes to go with those nostalgia potatoes (I’m sorry). Will he escape? Does The Starlet know The Gray Ghost might be more than she can handle?…
The third installment of Batman: Black & White landed this week, and while I was super excited to get my hands on this book, I hate to say that this chapter didn’t live up to the quality of the first two... Bummer. There’s also a mishap where they advertise next week’s stories at the beginning…
Like the previous issue, this offers a quick and easy read, and it’s a quite a bit of fun overall. Yang writes Batman and Superman well, and manages to put both characters in the spotlight. The way this story is structured helps to achieve that. It’s a good choice to separate the two heroes so…
This is the fourth and final issue of Future State: Dark Detective. It’s been entertaining so far, but every issue left something to be desired, mainly in the writing department. What Dark Detective—not just the main feature but the miniseries as a whole—needs is a strong conclusion. That won’t undo any of the missteps that…
Generations: Forged #1, much like its predecessor Generations: Shattered #1, is a fun, yet overstuffed jaunt through DC history. While it reads more like a love letter to bygone eras than anything else, fans of the previous issue or anyone who craves spectacle will find themselves more than satisfied. The general structure of the last…
DC has announced all of the titles that will be added to the DC Universe Infinite service in March. Titles range from the classic to the recent with lots to keep you entertained in the waning days of the winter. March also sees the continuation of new series Let Them Live! landing first on DC…
2021 is really trying to show us that 2020 was just a warm-up. After more than a week of below-freezing temperatures and a Snowpocalypse, we finally got some sunshine here in Texas! Roads are clearing up. Power is being restored. Water has been turned back on (we’re under a “boil water notice” for sanitary reasons…

After DC Comics’ two month detour into a Future State during January and February, the publisher’s main line of titles will return this March. In the case of Justice League, the book will get a new roster (Hippolyta, Naomi, Hawkgirl, and Black Adam join mainstays Superman, Batman, Aquaman, and the Flash), a new creative team…
Welcome to the second issue of White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn! The stakes are upped! The villain is revealed! Harley Quinn is still sad! Will she ever stop being sad?! Stay tuned to find out! STORY We last left Harley going to pick a fight with Neo-Joker. In the first few pages of issue #2…
I’ve been known to piss my friends off from time to time by the way that I tell them about myself. It’s not intentional, mind you! I don’t make a point to gather people around a campfire, wistfully boasting of my accomplishments as if I didn’t peak in high school five years ago. The problem…
Future State: Catwoman #2 solidifies this two part story as my favorite of the entire Future State line. Otto Schmidt’s art remains immaculate, Ram V’s script is well paced, and there’s a sense of closure while remaining open ended if this storyline is ever to be picked up again. All in all, Future State: Catwoman…
Batman '89 and Superman '78 are on the way to continue the adventures of some of your favorite films. DC made an exciting announcement on Tuesday that two new digital-first comic series are revisiting Tim Burton's Batman and Richard Donner's Superman films. Batman '89 will feature writer Sam Hamm (Batman, Batman Returns) and artist Joe…
Future State: Nightwing #2 is a classic case of falling under the weight of too much ambition. A lot of stuff happens but without any true rhyme or reason. Themes are spit out by various characters without any pretense of character development, wit, or true insight. Worst of all, I can’t say that Andrew Constant’s…
Batman/Catwoman #3 refines some themes Tom King set up in previous issues while slightly advancing the core narrative across the three time periods established so far. There’s no surprises in this issue, but the tense atmosphere remains palpable despite a narrative that amounts to spinning plates and waiting for one to finally crash. In previous…
For those of you that don’t know, I’m located in Texas. If you’ve watched the news, then you might know that the entire state of Texas is under a winter storm warning. This has never happened before. The ground is covered in snow, we’re in single digit temps. Because of all of this, electric companies…
Here it is. Our first White Knight spin-off comic, with lovely art by Matteo Scalera and written by comics newcomer Katana Collins — who I like already, because 1) she’s written novels with titles like “Soul Stripper” and “Beefcakes,” and 2) her name is Katana. It’s been two years since the events of Curse of…
Back in 1989, it was a pretty great time to be a Batman fan. Tim Drake was introduced, you had awesome stories like “The Mud Pack” on shelves, and there was a pretty popular movie in cinemas. Maybe you’ve seen it? Alexander Knox is a true champ. That was also the year that saw what…
