6 on Wonder Woman #56 review“The Witching Hour – Part 2” continues in this week’s issue of Wonder Woman, and as expected, James Tynion continues to kill it with this story and roster! I’ve been singing the praises of Justice League Dark since it’s debut, and today will be no different. James Tynion has crafted a story that is engaging,…
What’s interesting about this issue is that it is barely a Suicide Squad story. In fact, it’s a character-focused one-shot about Captain Boomerang, who goes on a solo mission to stop a mysterious villain named the Bunyip. Moreover, this is a comic that’s very new-reader friendly, because it doesn’t reference previous installments of the series.…
One-joke stories rarely work. No matter how funny the idea or punchline may be, it's incredibly difficult to wring a full story out of a single idea. There are times when it does work, though, and a single joke can carry the weight of an entire story. This... is one of those times. What helps…
If you’re looking for a traditional comic book featuring good guys merrily punching bad guys in the face, Titans is often the right place to look. Issue #27, on the other hand, foregoes action in favour of a downbeat story dealing with the recent tragedies that have befallen the team. The events in question have…
You know when you’re watching a television series, and before certain episodes, you’ll get a, “Previously, on ______.” That’s essentially what 90% of Catwoman #4 is. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed Jones’ Catwoman run so far. She’s spent a lot of time focusing on Selina as a character, building a foundation of supporting characters, and introducing an…
The Red Hood is on the rampage, but something has come up. Jason's pursuit of the Underlife has taken him into America's heartland, but his past won't let him be. Can he follow the path before him while evading the demons behind? Find out in Red Hood and the Outlaws #27. SPOILERS AHEAD. Seriously, there are spoilers.…
James Robinson’s third offering on this arc introduces “The Conflicted Man”, and it was probably just a matter of time before we got to the “enemy of my enemy is my friend” portion of the program (he even literally uses that expression here). And if you enjoy watching the tango between Batman and Two-Face, you’ll…
Mego was a big thing back in the day, and then they went away. But now they've come from the past to fix the future with toys—IN THE PRESENT. They were kind enough to send us a few of their new DC 14-inch figures, and I've been checking them out for the past few days.…
I struggled with this review. I’m not going to lie. I found myself torn between a lot of aspects of the story, and was also equally torn about what to use as my intro for this review. I came up with the following: “In this week’s issue of Nightwing, Dan Didio finally does what he’s…
It’s October. The nights are drawing in, the wind is whistling in the eaves, the branches of the trees are bare and claw-like, the mist peels aside to reveal a full moon...It’s the perfect time for a bold, disturbing crossover like ‘The Witching Hour’! It’s also good timing for Justice League Dark. Last week, James…
Last month, I lamented two things: that Adventures of the Super Sons was disappointingly short on adventure and... well, the Super Sons. While far from perfect, and with a few additional problems of its own, the third issue of the year-long maxiseries is taking some steps in the right direction. There's plenty of action and…
Howdy folks, welcome to the start of a new arc titled, Triumph. To those who have been curious about the Harley Quinn title and have been looking for a jumping-on point, I’ll say this. Harley Quinn #51 references events and features characters that were very specific to previous issues. In particular the character Jonni DC…
IT'S. TIME. TO. RE. BUILD. THE. MOON. Fending off Darkseid? Sure, seems hard. Warring with the Legion of Doom? A certain challenge. But reconstructing the Earth's moon from floating chunks? That takes a hero. See for yourself in Justice League #9. This is what I was talking about In my review for Justice League #8, I pretty…
This is not just the wedding of the year, it's the wedding of the decade. No, the century. Nay, the millennium. Yes, Killer Croc and Orca, that most unlikely of couples, tie the knot in this issue of Injustice, and it's about as great as you could imagine. The long-awaited nuptials take up the bulk…
After the somewhat shocking events of Batman no. 55, I have a lot of questions and I’m sure you all do as well. But Tom King doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to provide answers, instead bringing us along on Batman’s actions in the aftermath of losing Nightwing. And Batman appears to be going…
Kings of Fear #2 picks up where the first issue left off. Right from page one we’re privy to Batman’s psychedelic experience on Scarecrow’s fear gas. During this experience, some of Batman’s anxieties, insecurities and nightmares are exposed to us, and I’m seeing a lot of potential for an in-depth exploration of Batman’s mind. But…
The Silencer #9 is one, big, action romp unlike anything you’ve seen in this title to date, so you better take cover! I’m going to be honest, following the events of The Silencer #8, this is not the direction – overall – that I expected this chapter to take. With Wishbone body swapping Silencer and…
‘I’m afraid this is only the beginning’ -Zatanna, Justice League Dark #3 With horrors like the Upside-Down Man and the Otherkind invading, I can understand why the heroes of the Justice League Dark may be feeling apprehensive. However, for those of us living here on Earth Prime (Earth-33 in the orrery of worlds), where the…
Smartwatches are all the rage, and with good reason: they can sync up with your phone so you can perform various tasks from your wrist without having to take your phone out of your pocket, and having a nice timepiece is always a good fashion accessory. (Note: I wear jeans and T-shirts every day, so…
This week in Titans, Dick and Donna get new coats! Also, the team are on the trail of the Blood Cult, who have nefarious plans for the Source Wall energy. Given that the Boom Room can travel anywhere, I wondered in my review for issue #25 whether the team would ever travel outside the United…
