2 on Suicide Squad #48 reviewWith the upcoming #50 as this title’s final issue, it looks like #48 is the start of the series’ last arc. While I’ve been rather critical of the series so far, there have also been some good issues, so I’m hoping that Williams can manage to close out his run on a high note. So,…
In Titans #28, Dan Abnett delivered a script packed with character progression, logical plotting, plausible decisions, mischievous humour, and an uplifting message about persevering in the face of adversity. In Titans #29, he’s thrown all of this out the Boom Room window. If you were enjoying the long festival of misery that was Titans then you…
In this month’s Catwoman, Selina squares off against orderlies while Mrs. Creel deals with her husband… And that’s about it… If you’ve frequented the site over the years, then you’ve probably noticed that I tend to question when an artist transitions from illustrating comics to writing comics. This isn’t to say that an artist is…
Jason Todd is still in a small town! Doing things! And pie! Spoilers, people. Not for me If you're one of the regulars here, you know that I love this book. Scott Lobdell and his band of talented co-creators won me over at the start of Rebirth, and through all sorts of creative and other changes,…
James Robinson does like to let his characters talk. Last issue they talked non-stop through the whole book. This issue, called “A Fighting Man”, does a little less talking, but maybe still not enough fighting; we just can’t seem to get away from long ongoing explanations in this story. Here especially you’ll get to read…
Sometimes Teen Titans Go! has a plot, a recognizable story with a beginning, middle, and end. Sometimes Teen Titans Go! has an idea and riffs on that one joke for twenty pages. This installment is without question in the latter category, and that is perfectly fine. This series, the comic and the cartoon, is all…
At long last, a great injustice has been rectified, ladies and gentlemen. Yes, the complete Batman: The Animated Series is now available on Blu-ray. But... wait... Seeing as how you've clicked on this little review, I can only assume that you somehow resisted the urge to pre-order the deluxe edition box set that hit stores…
DC is back at it with a single floppy featuring two stories! Last time they did this, we received an incredible story featuring Deadshot, and a horrible story featuring Katana in Suicide Squad: Most Wanted… This time around we’re getting a potentially questionable follow-up to Katana’s story, and a whole new adventure with a squad…
This might be the best issue of “Ric Grayson’s run” of Nightwing, but it’s barely above average so I’m not certain that really says much. As I’ve stated in the past, the idea of a cab driver working the night shift to allow the opportunity to operate as a vigilante is an interesting concept. It…
Earth is drowning! The Totality was safe, and the Legion of Doom seemingly at bay, but peace was not to be. With Aquaman and Wonder Woman attempting to escape the Blood Reef and the citizens of the world turning into fish-slaves of the Triumvirate, things look grim for the League. But will they get worse…
In a finite, limited series, there are some issues that stand on their own just as well as they propel the story forward. While being familiar with what has come before makes them a more rewarding experience, a new reader will still find plenty to enjoy if they come in cold. While they're part of…
Here we are with the latest issue of Harley Quinn. It’s the start of a new arc called “Minor Disasters,” and it looks like this should be fairly new-reader friendly. This issue features a few supporting cast members that were introduced earlier in Sam Humphries’s run, such as Petite Tina, but other than that, the…
We see just about a little of everything in this one: Arkham Asylum, Wayne Manor, the Batcave, the rooftop where Batman and Gordon have their little tet-a-tets, the at-long-last reveal of the Big Bad we’ve been anticipating forever by now, and rolled into all of that, plenty of action, pathos, and nice character moments. Once…
With DC releasing another set of crossovers featuring beloved characters from Hanna-Barbera on Halloween, I can’t say for certain if this was intended to be a trick or a treat. As with most crossovers of this nature, you get a mixed bag. Some are surprisingly entertaining or so outlandishly bad that they’re good… Meanwhile, others…
Often anthologies turn out to be a mixed bag. Some stories hit. Some miss. In the case of Batman Secret Files #1, I don’t think any of the stories here are bad, but it’s definitely clear to me which stories stand out as gems, and which are slightly weaker. Now, I have a lot to say,…
It's the yearquarter of Aquaman! With his first major motion picture scheduled for December, and his first major crossover arc since Throne of Atlantis beginning last month with Drowned Earth, the once and (presumably) future king of Atlantis is going big for the end of 2018. Diamond Select Toys has been trickling out an entire wave of…
In ‘The Witching Hour,’ Tynion IV has taken us on a wild ride through the magical landmarks of the DC Universe and now it’s time for the grand finale! By the end of last issue, Hecate’s victory was all but assured; Diana’s soul was trapped in limbo while her body wreaked havoc and her fellow…
TT’s LEGO DC games have been solid, and hugely popular, for years. After three successful Batman titles—the last of which was more a wider DC love-fest than a Dark Knight-specific adventure—TT is back with LEGO DC Supervillains, a bad guy-centric romp through many of the more bizarre corners of the DC Universe, with many characters…
Another fan favorite is confirmed dead in this issue, and while I’m sure it will spark some negative feedback from annoyed readers, I still can’t deny that this is one hell of a book! Last month, Tom King sent shockwaves through the DC Universe when he debuted Heroes In Crisis. Established to help heroes cope…
In broad strokes, the plot for Archie Meets Batman '66 is remarkably similar to that of Batman: The Movie. There's an increased focus on the Bruce Wayne persona, not just Batman; an undercover Catwoman, infiltrating intellectual institutions under the guise of Ms. Kitanya Irenya Tatanya Karenska Alisoff (or Kitka, a charming acronym); and a team…
