14 on Upcoming Comics: September 1, 2020We’ve got chapter four of “Joker War” hitting stands this week, and all I can think about is, “Man, Three Jokers was pretty solid, wasn’t it? Can’t wait to get my hands on the next issue.” I guess we’ll just have to settle with this for now. Or, we could read DCeased or Justice League.…
For months now, I’ve praised Suicide Squad as being one of the best in-continuity books hitting shelves for DC Comics. While that sentiment remains, this chapter is easily one of the weakest in the run. It was recently announced that this iteration of Suicide Squad would end with issue #11. Feel sudden? Yeah, I agree.…
It’s safe to say Dan Jurgens’ Batman Beyond is back on track. Any hint of Terry’s amnesia is long gone, Elainna is fully situated as Batwoman, and the book has regained an ensemble cast which Jurgens thrives with in the Beyond universe. Batman Beyond #46 keeps that momentum going with excellent character dynamics, fantastic art,…
I am still not a fan of the “Joker War” event. The main Batman title isn’t very enjoyable for me, and as I’ve explained in previous reviews, the way that it has blatantly interrupted an arc in Detective Comics is rather annoying, to say the least. On the bright side, Tomasi and Rocafort are the…
After a confrontation with Joker, Barbara Gordon has to deal with lingering stress over the fight, and figure out what to do now that she’s removed her implant. To top things off, James Jr. is back, and seemingly wants to try to mend their relationship. This issue, while dealing with the fallout of Barbara’s face…
This is the conclusion of the “Atomic” arc and, to be honest, I’m glad that it’s over. I haven’t been enjoying this title in general, but this arc in particular has been such a chore for me. So I’ll keep this review brief and to the point. Let’s have a look. First of all, there…
This month Red Hood: Outlaw steps away from it’s main story to cross over with what’s going on in Batman during the Joker War. It features Jason alone as he joins the fight to take the city back from Joker. I’m always surprised when books totally change what they’ve been doing to fit into an…
Teen Titans second annual reads more like another normal issue as it continues the story going on in the main title, and at last shows the confrontation between Batman and the Teen Titans. I was ready to hate this book. I had all kinds of thoughts and fears about how it was going to turn…
WARNING: I will try my best to make this as spoiler-free as possible, but if you’d rather go in completely blind, I would recommend buying and reading the book before this review. The year is 2016, and we’re on the back end of the New 52. I’m heavily invested in Justice League: Darkseid War: a…
What a weekend!!! Am I right? DC FanDome was Saturday, and where I had reservations that this would be a dud like ComicCon@Home, Jim Lee and team made sure that if you were going to give them your time, they were going to deliver you some goods! There was so much news! The Batman! THE…
This book contains five short comic strips and some additional content to flesh out the world of Death Metal. I’ll briefly discuss each story individually before ending this review with my thoughts on the additional content. “The Fall of Earth” The first strip showcases good art and incorporates interesting ideas, but at the same time…
The third chapter of “Joker War” hit shelves today, and I’ve decided that this is nothing more than a directionless story where Batman flops around the city before passing out and waking up with Harley. Maybe the universe is trying to tell you something, Bats! *Nudge, nudge* I hear she’s single… *Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge.*…
You know, I spent a good half-hour trying to think of a clever way to open this review. Sometimes the opening of these articles can be the most difficult, because you’re trying to put your best foot forward for readers looking to your opinion on this issue – a privilege which I greatly appreciate, by…
The Joker War is here and it’s come to further cement its stake in Dan Jurgens’ run with Nightwing #73. While there are some question marks with Barbara’s appearance here given that she just paralyzed herself to defy the Joker in her own series, Jurgens and Ryan Benjamin cut loose and embrace Dick Grayson’s new…
With Robin intent on killing criminals, it’s up to the Teen Titans to stop him. Will they be able to talk sense into their once friend, or is he just too far gone? There’s a lot going on at DC comics right now, and in some of their latest news it was announced that Teen…
Catwoman #24 manages to land a solid ending to an otherwise overstretched storyline that never quite honed in on a coherent theme. Blake Northcott’s script has fun on the mind, but the more nuanced writing and characterization feels rushed within this two-issue arc. Nonethless, Cian Tormey’s art, combined with Northcott’s emphasis on the fun factor…
It’s official, this is the final issue of Harley Quinn! To celebrate, it has a little of everything, fantastic artists, more pages, and even a tie in to the Joker War! The issue is broken into two separate parts, the actual finale to Harley Quinn and The Joker War tie in. Since the two stories have…
DC’s FanDome is this Saturday! Are you ready for it? Have you planned your schedule? There’s definitely more promise here for announcements, reveals, and trailers than what we got at Comic-Con at Home, so I’m pretty excited! Let us know what you’re excited for in the comments section! I’ll be tuning in this Saturday as…
Following massive layoffs and company wide restructuring, DC Comics has confirmed the cancellation of several titles including Teen Titans, Young Justice, Suicide Squad, Hawkman, and John Constantine: Hellblazer. These books join the already confirmed cancellations of Batgirl, Batman and the Outsiders, and Justice League Odyssey alongside the planned conclusions of The Batman’s Grave and Metal…
Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch continue their excellent, slow burn with The Batman’s Grave #9. Considering we’re getting close to the book wrapping up, I’m sure that some readers will be disappointed in the lack of plot progression, but there is a shift in the narrative, even if it is slight, that changes the stakes…
