4 on Batman & the Outsiders #15 reviewIf I could have things my way, Batman & the Outsiders would not be ending because it’s too damn good. I mean, if this is Hill’s decision to move on or take a break (I’m praying it’s just a break), then I respect that… But seriously, when I talk about quality and execution in comics,…
This series has been an entertaining ride, but not without its flaws. Perhaps its biggest shortcoming is that it seems to be having an identity crisis in the sense that it doesn’t know if it wants to be horror, comedy or even satire. That problem persists in #3, but does that prevent the issue from…
I’ve already discussed how I don’t appreciate that the "Joker War" event has hijacked a good Two-Face story, and how that makes it seem like DC doesn’t care about the integrity of their storytelling. So I wasn’t feeling optimistic about Detective Comics #1025, even with Peter Tomasi as the writer and Kenneth Rocafort on art…
Amidst a giant round of layoffs at Warner Media on Monday, DC Comics and DC Universe did not escape unscathed. And DC Direct, the 22-year-old consumer product division, was closed completely. On the DC Comics side of the sweeping changes, Editor-in-Chief Bob Harris, senior VP of publishing strategy and support services Hank Kanalz, VP of…
DC FanDome has been dropping some trailers and announcements, and I’m not going to lie… I’m pretty damn excited! It appears as though a lot of the hype and lore that was missing from Comic-Con@Home will be found here (at least for Warner Bros/ DC), and that’s a good thing. I feel like we could…
If there’s one thing that I appreciate about Taylor’s writing, it’s his ability to balance action, drama and comedy. Of course there are jokes that don’t really work for me, or dramatic moments that could be tightened up, but, on the whole, these various elements are implemented organically and create a unique and fun tone…
Well… Batman #96 starts off bad and only gets worse as it goes… That’s not promising for the remaining issues. The Story I feel like I need to start this review by saying, “I love comics.” No, this isn’t Comics Now, but, at this point, I’m finding that most of my opinions on today’s work…
Every so often when writing my reviews, I need to take a moment to readjust my way of thinking. Whether or not I like a story, I have to remember the hard work that’s being put into publishing these books for everyone to read: the hours of writing, editing, penciling, inking, colouring, lettering and printing…
I was really disappointed when all the new dark knights got killed off in Death Metal #2. I liked some of those characters and wanted to see more of them. I think it’s cool that this anthology is devoted to some of those characters, but I also think it’s a bit odd that their origin…
This month sees the Young Justice team doing clean up after a major attack on Metropolis. The story spins right out of the pages of Action Comics' Metropolis Doom arc and generally gives readers a look at the core four and their mentors. For the most part, the story follows the members of Young Justice…
I’m going to keep this short and sweet since I’m behind this week. I had to take a some personal time after having to put my dog down over the weekend. He was old, 15, and I know how lucky I am to have gotten the many years with him that I did, but it’s…
Suicide Squad is the best in-continuity book being published by DC Comics at the moment! That’s all you really need to know, but if you want me to lavish praise on the book and creative team, then just keep reading! The Story Tom Taylor has been doing excellent work on Suicide Squad. When I say…
Last month’s opening chapter of the current Batman/Superman arc lacked focus and detail, and I thought it was a bit of a boring comic. Unfortunately, this issue, #10, is still suffering from problems that I’ve talked about in previous reviews. However, this time the two main problems are the over-reliance on exposition as well as…
The Untitled are trying to bring Trigon back into the world and it’s up to Jason and the outlaws to stop them. Joined by Essence, General Glory, and Saru the group must figure out a way to keep Trigon from rising again and destroying everything. This issue attempts to be a big explosive climax as…
Did anyone tune in to any of the SDCC at Home panels over the weekend? I did! While there were many aspects that I missed about SDCC – God, help me, I actually missed the mobs of people – I felt that SDCC at Home was a nice attempt to help hold us over until…
“I understand that people have disagreed with me on my assessment of this series, but I hope I’ve been able to articulate how I feel about it; at least, well enough for people to understand where I’m coming from. While I’m still not a big fan, this issue gives me hope that I’ll have a…
After two months of basically non-stop action, Batman Beyond #45 smartly slows things down a bit and takes its time to properly set up the arc’s stakes and character motivations. While the last two issues were entertaining, Dan Jurgens’ script and character dynamics take a noticeable bump up in clarity and engagement. Also different is…
Those who’ve been reading my Detective Comics reviews already know how I feel about the Two-Face arc. But for those who came in late, here’s a recap: The arc started out strong with a focus on an internal struggle between the Two-Face and Harvey Dent personas, and there was the mystery of Two-Face’s cult that…
The Joker War comes spinning out of Batman and into the pages of Batgirl this month as Barbara Gordon comes face to face with Joker once again. I’m having trouble figuring out how to properly start this review. It attempts to be a ‘response’ to The Killing Joke, unfortunately, I don’t feel it was handled…
After what felt like months of build-up, we finally have “The Joker War” at our fingertips! I’ve been highly critical of Tynion’s run on Batman so far, so will this event do anything to change that trend? Find out below! The Story The Joker has set his master plan in motion! With the help of…
