12 on Catwoman #3 reviewThis week, we take a deeper look into the Creel family as Selina goes head-to-head with them for the first time! So far, I’ve been happy with Joelle Jones’ Catwoman. Three issues in, and we’re finally starting to see the story shape up. The narrative is a bit of a slow burn and as I…
Jason Todd's friends are gone! Bizarro's heroic sacrifice has stranded he and Artemis in some bizarre reality—and left Red Hood all alone. Without his team to steer him back towards the side of the Bat-angels, Jason is returning to his former ways, and evil better not get in his way. (Some of) you asked for…
James Robinson knows what he wants from Batman and he commits to it from the opening page. Though he touches on Batman’s ongoing girlfriend trauma, he doesn’t dwell (and neither does Batman). Because this is Gotham and someone is being murdered somewhere and the city needs it Knight. In this first installment of "Deface the…
Or perhaps "Riddles" would have been a more appropriate title, as that's what this story consists of: a series of riddles where the Titans try to one-up each other. Not a bad concept by any means, and there are a few nice moments here and there, but overall this is a pretty average installment of…
Welcome back to the Harley Quinn show; it’s the conclusion to the two part arc, Clown For Hire, and boy oh boy, it’s a wild one. I mean this in both a positive and negative way at the same time, so if you want to know my stance on this, let’s have a look, shall…
Make no mistake: despite the lower score, Adventures of the Super Sons is not a bad comic. It feels weird when I don't connect with this title, as at its heart this book is simply about the joy of comics storytelling. So this latest issue is not bad by any means, as it's competently crafted…
This week, Nightwing travels to the Isle of Harm to compete in a deadly motorcycle race… Because… Well, there are reasons, but they’re so forced that it’s laughable. The first thing that I thought while reading this story is, “Why are we even here? And how did we get here?” While the first question is…
As we reach the conclusion of the "Deathstroke vs. Batman" arc, we come to find that this whole story was: Really, the correct answer is "it's over," with hardly anything to speak for it. This is a prime example of the "idiot plot," where the conflict could have easily been resolved had the characters just…
As we approach the finale of the Injustice 2 comic, storylines need to be wrapped up and pieces need to be put into place to lead into the narrative of the video game. That's becoming ever more clear with issue 33 here, as the big action setpieces of the previous few installments make way for…
Haven’t had enough Quilts or Condiments? Tom King’s begs the question of “The Better Man” in this one-shot that plays hard on nostalgia, is two-thirds tongue-in-cheek, and yet still serving up a big ol’ heaping help of Batman’s self-pitying drama-rama. It works, though, for the most part, if you can just push to the back…
This is it! The Justice League vs. The Legion of Doom for the fate of the Earth—nay, the Multiverse! Lex Luthor is steps from his destiny, but Hawkgirl might have something else to say about that! Can Jon Stewart move fast enough? Can Barry Allen move slow enough? What's up with Batman's busted arms and…
I'm repeating myself and at least half of Batman fandom when I say this, but Batman: The Animated Series was amazing, not least because of Mark Hamill's definitive performance as the Joker, and the introduction of cultural phenomenon Harley Quinn. Kotobukiya—a company known more for its statues based on comic and film interpretations of these characters,…
The Silencer Annual #1 is, by far, the best DC book that hit stands this week! You need to go get it! Aside from a few minor missteps, Dan Abnett has had an incredible run on The Silencer! What was probably viewed by many as the least compelling book of The New Age of Heroes imprint prior to its…
Have I mentioned how much I dislike Ben Percy’s Nightwing? Have I mentioned how annoyed I am with his heavy-handed, politically-driven scripts, and the fact that nothing Nightwing says under Percy’s pen feels true to the character? Great! Because I’m about to say it again! If you’ve been reading Nightwing since Percy took over, I’m…
Red Hood and Arsenal are back together again. The once fellow Outlaws lost touch for a while, but when an emotionally and physically beaten Jason Todd needed him, Roy Harper was there. So what are they up to? And what happened to Jay-bird’s new buddies, Artemis and Bizarro? Find out in Red Hood and the…
When DC first decided to do DC Comics/ Looney Tunes crossovers in this format, I originally thought, "God, this is a terrible idea." And then I was forced to eat crow once the issues were published because we were treated to some nice fun stories. On top of it, Tom King and Lee Weeks delivered Batman/ Elmer…
Mairghread Scott has come out swinging for the backfield with her work on Batgirl in the last couple of weeks. With a sensational start in two stories featured in the Batgirl no. 25 Anniversary Special, and now both a killer issue no. 26 and this stellar (pun intended) Annual titled “The Brightest Star in Heaven”.…
I am calling this review “10 Things I Love about this Batgirl Comic”. The story is “Art of Crime” and it’s the continuation of Batgirl’s pursuit of Grotesque, which began two weeks ago in the Anniversary issue compilation (no. 25). The premise is simple but effective: high-roller theatrical art thief Grotesque has escalated his game…
The Joker looks dapper and dangerous as he rides high atop his own maniacal laughter, a unique and integrated base built of actual “HA HA HAs.” Display the Clown Prince of Crime proudly at home, work or wherever you want to show your crazy side. Review Another Joker statue? Another one?! Yes, it’s another Joker…
As I've no doubt mentioned elsewhere, I have an interesting history with DST's Vinimates line. When I first started working with the company on reviews, I told them not to send any, because I thought they were gross. Oh, how far I've come! At this point, I think I like them as much as I…
