4 on Justice League/Aquaman: Drowned Earth #1 reviewThe Drowning continues! The flood waters brought by the evil intergalactic Triumvirate rage on, and Earth is hours away from falling completely. Can the home team heroes find a way to stem the tide? Or will Poseidon's children breathe their last? Drowned Earth officially kicks off in Justice League/Aquaman: Drowned Earth #1. Non-stop action But for a…
Old Lady Harley is a 5 issue miniseries spinning out of Harley Quinn #42 (which can be read as a one-shot prologue to the miniseries but probably isn’t strictly required reading). Essentially, the idea is that this is the future DC Universe, which has turned into a post-apocalyptic landscape, similar to—you guessed it—Marvel’s Old Man…
If I had to comment on The Silencer with only one sentence, it would have to be, “It continues to surprise me.” As for this chapter, in particular, it’s clear the creative team had a ton of fun with this issue, and that fun is infectious. I mean, the moment I opened this book, I…
While still not the grand space opera I was hoping for, Justice League Odyssey makes some solid improvements this week to give me a new hope. As you all know, I wasn’t overly impressed with the debut of Justice League Odyssey. My score for the book was still a positive one, but barely. While I…
In “The Witching Hour – Part 4,” Hecate now has control of Wonder Woman, and just like that, the hope our team had for victory seems like a fleeting notion! Justice League Dark has been one hell of a read so far, and James Tynion deserves all the praise he can get. He’s managed to…
In Justice League #10, Aquaman met the Triumvirate of Sea Gods, an invading force which flooded the Earth. The Titans are weakened, still coming to terms with the news that their friend and leader Nightwing has been shot in the head (in Batman #55). How will they cope with the Drowned Earth, and can Dan…
Welcome back to another episode of Kings of Fear. Last time we saw Scarecrow pushing Batman off a roof, and this month we pick up right where we left off. While the plot so far has had psychedelic elements, it is in this issue that Peterson and Jones add fuel to the fire. What’s real?…
Batman Beyond #25 kicks off a brand-new arc, ‘The Final Joke.’ It’s the story Jurgens has been building towards since Rebirth began, so it’s a golden opportunity for him to turn things around and make this title good again. The issue starts strong, with the reintroduction of popular characters Dick Grayson and the Joker. Getting…
In the spirit of Goodnight Batcave and Superman and the Miserable, Rotten, No Fun, Really Bad Day comes Don't Let the Penguin Drive the Batmobile!, a brand new, 100% unauthorized parody from MAD Magazine. Continuing what has now become an annual tradition, this year the subject of parody is Mo Willem's 2003 children's book Don't…
We’re now entering that mid-story place where arcs tend to get a bit saggy, but Mairghread Scott does her best--and mostly succeeds--at not belaboring the necessary bridges as Batgirl gets closer to the truth in this “Art of Crime” installment. Aptly titled “facade”, Babs struggles to maintain her dual identity despite suffering from strange after-effects…
Appropriately titled “The Talking Man”, strap yourselves in as James Robinson takes us on the fourth installment of his “Deface the Face” arc chock full of...talking. I guess it’s right there in the title, so we shouldn’t be surprised, but the story grinds to a halt and starts to choke on its own exposition as…
Do you remember Dark Nights: Metal? Do you remember it fondly? Did you like all those plum-crazy Bruces Wayne cosplaying as their Justice League teammates? If nothing else, Metal was a loud, nutso ball of energy that set up Scott Snyder's run on Justice League—including the introduction of the Batman Who Laughs. The Batman Who Laughs comes from…
In this month’s chapter of Teen Titans, Damian and team go head to head with Lady Vic! And trust me when I tell you that this doesn’t end the way you expect it to! Teen Titans is turning out to be a bit of a conundrum for me. On one hand, there are things happening…
The groundwork has been laid; now it’s time for action! Wonder Woman #56 explained Hecate’s motivation and Justice League Dark #4 (which seamlessly picks up exactly where the previous issue left off) builds on what we’ve learnt by bringing the heroes face to face with the villain. Tynion’s pacing throughout this series has been perfect…
This issue of Harley Quinn concludes the two-part Triumph arc. For those who came in late, here’s a quick recap. Back in Harley Quinn #50, Harley broke DC Continuity, and because of this the Golden Age superhero Captain Triumph was transported from the 1940s to present day. Now it’s up to Harley to help Triumph…
Nightwing #50 tried to change the status quo by giving us Ric Grayson – an edgy, moody dude with amnesia who is a far cry from anything we know Dick Grayson to be. As much as I disliked this idea, I was willing to ride the story out to see what DC had planned. Unfortunately,…
This issue, above all others, has a thankless task. As the final issue of a prequel to a game that has been out for some time, it needs to take all the incredible storytelling that Tom Taylor has accomplished and line everything up with the video game's introduction. While some of that housekeeping has been…
This is a slightly-modified adaption of my review on Comics Now. Scott Snyder’s run on Justice League has been his best work to date. In the pages of this book, he has found a story and a voice that, while flowing naturally out of his prior publications, transcends them. The love he has for these characters—and…
Tom King concludes “Beasts of Burden” with a simple, but satisfying final confrontation between the Dark Knight and the Russian hitman who shot Dick Grayson. Your mileage may vary according to your hopes and expectations, but I loved this. Storywise there’s not much to say without spoiling the whole book. I didn't even include any…
It’s that time of year! The leaves are turning, temperatures are dropping, and soon, a number of creatures, witches, and demons will be storming our homes… for candy! Mmmmm! Smell that sweet, luscious smell of candy corn! I love this time of year, and I especially love the horror stories that come with it! Swamp…
