6 on Red Hood and the Outlaws #29 reviewRed Hood and Batwoman have a bad case of the Mondays! With hulking gray assailants closing in, can Gotham’s worst finest make it out in two pieces? Find out in Red Hood and the Outlaws #29. Better Last issue was a low point for this series. With some substantial plot holes and the sort of…
Make no mistake: I've been enjoying this series right from the start. It's hardly earth-shattering or groundbreaking storytelling, nor is that its intent. Archie Meets Batman '66 is an easy-going, enjoyable read, full of charm, wit, and humor. It's packed with references and nods to both properties that are easily recognizable without being distracting, and…
Every time I think King’s run has gotten as overheated as it can get, King manages to push it even farther. Maybe some fans like this direction (shout out if you do; I’m genuinely curious), but I think this particular arc is leaking like a sieve from entirely too much plot nonsense. To wit: It’s…
Diamond Select Toys' popular Gallery line of PVC statues welcomes the stars of the CW's DC TV offerings, with new Arrow, Flash, and Supergirl pieces. If you're a fan of the Arrowverse, these may have already caught your eye. But are they worth the (admittedly very affordable) price tag? Read on. The Green Arrow Stephen…
If I had to use one phrase to describe Old Lady Harley #2, it would be: “strange plot twists.” While an unpredictable narrative sometimes works in a book’s favor, the opposite is possible as well, especially when it seems like a book’s narrative almost completely hinges on these twists. In the case of Old Lady…
This series has been great so far. In a time where this so-called “deconstruction” approach seems to be the way to go in DC land, especially when it concerns Batman titles, it is refreshing to see a creative team come in and actually manage to pull this off successfully. So what makes this particular issue…
The past few issues of The Silencer have felt as if they’ve been moving towards a conclusion, and that feeling has had me wondering two things: Is DC preparing to cancel the series? And if not, where do they plan on taking this story after Talia is dealt with? Well… This issue answers those questions…
Ben Oliver's cover for Titans #30 really rubs it in your face, doesn't it? At the beginning of Rebirth, Titans was one of the most promising titles, tying in closely to DC Universe: Rebirth and featuring a loveable group of heroes whose history together made them feel like real people. The quality of the series…
In this chapter of Justice League Odyssey, we blow through plots that could’ve been interesting and engaging just to get from one character’s worshipers to another character’s worshipers… It’s basically a waste of a really good plot. So, you know, that’s disappointing. I’ve been open and outspoken about why I dislike most of Josh Williamson’s…
In part two of ‘The Final Joke,’ our heroes deal with the repercussions of the explosion in issue #25 and the equally explosive news that the Joker has returned. Though the issue is mostly non-essential to the unfolding plot, it’s an action-packed read featuring the dynamic artwork of Brett Booth! In fact, most of the…
Heroes In Crisis #3… Where everything you see should be questioned… Upon reading this issue, I couldn’t help but wonder if this is more in-line with what Tom King wanted Heroes In Crisis (or Sanctuary) to be from the beginning. And in wondering this, I then couldn’t help but wonder if we’re witnessing a quiet,…
This is it! Drowned Earth comes to its conclusion, and boy, is it something! What will become of the Justice League and the fish-human hybrids they protect? Find out in Aquaman/Justice League #1! This review is an adaptation of an article that I wrote for Comics Now. Heart and head This one has it all.…
“Art of the Crime” closes its arc with some definite weirdness that might leave some of the audience scratching their heads, but which I think still brings this story to a satisfying conclusion on most points. And what’s not yet satisfied Mairghread Scott has deliberately left for the continuing adventures--which is the smart way to…
I’ve been rough on James Robinson’s “Deface the Face” arc, but I feel like this finale justifies some of my complaints about the illogical way this story has been paced, unfolded, and delivers information. Because it’s still delivering information only this time it’s mostly out of the mouth of a preacher at Harvey Dent’s funeral.…
Nightwing continues to be a bit of a conundrum. There’s the elephant in the room, and that’s the fact that I’d hardly consider this a Nightwing book because, for all intents and purposes, this is not Dick Grayson. But at the same time, the narrative and characters (even Ric to a degree) are interesting. So,…
‘The Witching Hour’ may be over but the Justice League Dark just can’t catch a break! While Swamp Thing and Constantine try to repair the damage done in the first two arcs of the series, the rest of the team become embroiled in another dangerous situation, courtesy of Detective Chimp… Bobo seems to be the…
It’s the conclusion of the two-part arc “Minor Disasters!” and we pick up where we left off last time. Minor Disaster, the villain of this arc, can cause, well, minor disasters with her disaster dial (and that’s a lot of “disaster” in the same sentence, but sometimes there’s just no escape). She has made Harley…
The world of Injustice is built on tragedy. Superman in particular lost his wife, his unborn child, and the city he called home. From that loss he went down a path that few thought he would ever trod, and from there became a man almost completely unrecognizable to his friends and the world at large.…
An earlier version of this review mixed up artists Frazer Irving and Bruno Redondo. We regret the error, and it has been corrected. Aquaman has been spearedtridented by Poseidon! Why would the decrepit old sea god do such a thing? Not cool, bro! See if Wonder Woman beats the bags out from under his eyes,…
This second installment of Tom King’s “The Tyrant Wing” may be one of those issues that can be better appreciated from the distance of seeing how all of this will ultimately play out. As a single floppy, though, it’s likely to spark some controversy. Given King’s preoccupation with attempting to subvert the readers’ expectations, however,…
