6 on Justice League: Endless Winter - Week 5 reviewDo you know how long the Lord of the Rings movies are, Matina? (Not the exact number, but I know they’re long enough I rarely watch all three in the same day, especially considering I always watch the extended editions.) Looking it up on Google, that beast of a trilogy clocks in at around about…
Here’s yet another Death Metal tie-in, and I’m not going to beat around the bush. I’m tired of this event. The core series is far from perfect but at least there are certain aspects to it that I can still enjoy. However, almost every single one of these tie-ins has been mediocre at best, and…
Uh…. Yeah, I’m not too excited about this week’s releases. Alright, on to business. This week’s releases are listed according to our anticipation scale, with titles listed in alphabetical order within each sub-header. For each title, I’ll include the official solicitation, the talent credits, a random comment (or rant), and the Batman News team member…
I’d like to apologize for the tardiness of this review. I’ve sat on this comic for a few days now, just thinking about the book and it's implications... but even as I sit here typing the review up, I’m unsure of how I'm going to feel by the end. As a result, this may not…
So after a week of news about Infinite Frontier, I’m feeling strangely energized. Not totally excited, but interested and curious certainly. One bit of news most applicable to our discussion of Endless Winter is the new Justice League line up, including both Hippolyta and Black Adam! What do you think, Nick? (You know what? This…
Batman Beyond #50 is a decent conclusion for Dan Jurgens’ largely impressive run. Much of that credit goes to the regular art team of Sean Chen, Sean Parsons, Chris Sotomayor, and Travis Lanham who are tasked with equal parts action and lower key dramatic scenes. Additionally, Jurgens’ script mostly returns to the series’ initial roots…
I haven’t been the biggest fan of Williamson’s Batman/Superman run, to say the least. To me, this title has been problematic since #1. This is Williamson’s final issue, though, and despite not really enjoying the series so far, I have been hoping that he could deliver a fun conclusion to his run. Has he managed…
This is the final issue of Tomasi’s Detective Comics run and, unfortunately, I am not too enthusiastic about it. Before I get into specifics, I just want to say upfront that I am a big fan of Tomasi’s work in general and that I think cutting his run short is a mistake. While this issue…
Last month Martinbrough set in motion his two part arc featuring Jason’s return to Gotham as he settled back into his place in The Hill and reconnected with old friends. Under the homecoming, darker things were brewing as warring factions of gangsters, vigilantes, and even some of Gotham's rogues were set to go head to…
I’m keeping things brief again this week. My day job is in sales management, and when you’re living in a Covid-19 world during the holiday season, your free time is practically non-existent. So, there won’t be any assessments or comments on the titles because… well… I’m on my lunch break, and I’m either going to…
Dick Grayson has had a rich and colourful history throughout his tenure in the DC Universe: beginning from being the very first Robin to the Caped Crusader, Nightwing eventually took a persona of his own, stepping into his own world outside of the Batman's shadow. Now, fresh off the heels of the "Ric Grayson" storyline,…
Honestly… Burn it. Just burn it. Do yourself a favor and just burn it because this book is awful. The Story This issue starts off with another flashback between Bruce and Ghost-Maker. AKA: another failed attempt to try and get us to understand why these two men are supposedly great friends. I don’t buy it.…
It’s the penultimate issue of Death Metal, in which the creative team has to get everything and everyone in place for the grand finale. There can be no more detours. The key word is “focus!” Last time I said that I didn’t enjoy the issue until the final pages, when the heroes were rallying and…
(You know, there are a lot of easy jokes to make about a title like Endless Winter. “Yeah, this event sure does FEEL endless!” is the obvious one. “With a title like Endless Winter, you really should have expected an ice-cold reception!” is another. That being said, I actually think the title is the most…
After four and a half decades, it’s finally happened again: the Clown Prince of Crime gets his own solo series. Following up on the groundwork laid in the recent “Joker War” event, James Tynion IV and Guillem March will set the mad dog loose on the world in the ongoing series simply titled The Joker.…
Ram V and Fernando Blanco turn in another fiercely paced, well constructed chapter with Catwoman #28. While there are very minor flaws in a few beats, V’s script manages to turn what could’ve been a generic mob war plotline into a fun, heist oriented showdown that’s equal parts Home Alone and Heat. V’s script sets…
Nightwing #77 is an appropriately festive and heartwarming tale that manages to slightly push Dick Grayson back to the bat-family even if its actual plotline is largely familiar. Despite its level of holiday cheer, the issue struggles to make an impression due to untapped potential in Dan Jurgens’ script while Ronan Cliquet’s pencils do what…
We’re getting closer and closer to pausing/ wrapping up the current status quo, and “Endless Winter” isn’t turning out to be as good as I was hoping it would be. So, will the one-two punch of “Endless Winter” and Future State hold readers’ interest or just serve as a jumping-off point? I’m concerned it will…
Look, I’ve been asking for a Batman anthology series for years. In fact, I’ve long said that Detective Comics should go that route, with a main story focusing on Batman accompanied by a bunch of backups that feature characters like Black Canary, Slam Bradley, Elongated Man, Martian Manhunter, and Air Wave. Especially Air Wave. Mostly…
One of the fun things about comic book speculation is bouncing theories and ideas off of friends and fellow fans, with some hopefully good-natured debate thrown into the mix. That’s what’s been so exciting about the upcoming Future State event at DC, particularly where Batman is involved. The Next Batman, to be specific. I mean,…
