9 on Justice League: No Justice #3 reviewTime is running out on Colu—and on Earth! As Brainiac’s four Justice Leagues fight on without him, relations between Waller and Green Arrow hit an all-time low. The teams may prevent the first Omega Titan from feeding, but what will await them at home if they do? The stakes rise, yet again, in Justice League:…
Issue #20 of Batman Beyond kicks off a new arc, ‘Target: Batman.’ Solicitations promise the return of a couple of classic Batman characters so this might be a good time to jump back on board the Neo-Gotham expressway, though it’s too soon to tell whether this will be a good story or not. Still, there’s…
And so, all good things must come to an end. Not even our beloved Super Sons are immune to change, as their eponymous series reaches its end with its sixteenth issue. With that, we say goodbye to Robin, Damian, and their Fortress of Attitude. At least until they return in a few months, but whatever. …
The “Strange Loop” closes out this era of Batgirl with slightly more whimper than bang, but this was nevertheless a satisfying conclusion (both to the loop itself, and in preparation for the incoming new crew in June). Larson’s work on the book has been consistent in its unevenness, but that’s actually helped stabilize a book…
Booster Gold is stuck in a futuristic hell of his own making where everything is a twisted version of its rightful self and all the characters are crazier than loons...including Booster. All this was done to show Bruce how messed up the world would be if his parents were to have survived, and surprisingly, Bruce…
Last time on The Brave and the Bold we saw that Batman and Wonder Woman made some progress with their investigation, and it was especially of interest to me because Sharpe wrote a smart Batman that’s a detective first and a fighter second. This time around there isn’t as much focus on Batman specifically. In…
I think it’s fair to say that ‘The Fall of the House of Kane’ has crumbled under the weight of expectation. Issue #15 is action-packed but still feels a little flat because the threat at hand feels manageable for a superhero and lacks the epic grandeur we’d expect with the return of Alice. Last issue,…
Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay has a lot going for it, and at the same time, is a complete and total mess of a film! The question is, what wins out? The pros or the cons? And when all is said and done, does this R rated romp end up being a better movie than…
Brainiac has been taken out by Amanda Waller, but what sounds like a victory cry may actually be the death-knell for Earth’s heroes and all they hold dear. They’re in a race against time to bring balance to the planet Colu and save it from the consuming GalactitesOmega Titans, but what will await them at…
Two weeks ago, I kvetched a bit that Paul Dini and Bret Blevins spent an awful lot of time playing catch-up from the Harley Loves Joker fill-in, as well as cramming in a lot of expositional background on where the Grison comes from and her past connection to Harley Quinn. This time I’m going to…
Last month, I complained that the story of Sins of the Father isn’t moving quickly enough but reassured readers that there’s plenty of action to enjoy and Batman is just as smart and capable as we expect him to be. Unfortunately, in issue #4, the pace doesn’t pick up, there isn’t any action and Bruce…
There's some credence and legitimacy to the old adage "never judge a book by its cover." After all, a cover can hardly encapsulate the plot, themes, and tone of most any work it represents. A cover may be misleading in its simplicity, or it may be purposefully ironic to bait the reader. The sum of…
With the release of Detective Comics #980, we are only one issue away from the conclusion of James Tynion's stint on Detective Comics. Will he be able to pull off a memorable finale, or will his work fade into obscurity, only to be remember by hardcore Tynion fans and Batman historians? We've still got two…
In my opinion, Suicide Squad hadn’t been that great lately. The book’s quality suffered from predictable storytelling, plot holes and character interactions that, to me, felt more mandatory than natural. But, since the previous arc came to a close, I’ve been looking forward to this new arc with a more optimistic mindset. A new story…
Dark Nights: Metal is done, and the heroes of the DC Universe emerged victorious. But there was a cost: the Source Wall—the very boundary of the universe—has been cracked, exposing the worlds within to greater threats beyond. But there are other dangers closer to home, and if the Justice League hopes to prevail, they will…
It all comes down to this: Batman, Joker and the GTO confronting Neo, Hatter, and the army of mind-slaves that used to be Gotham’s fiercest supercriminals. Can Neo’s Napier-negging nefariousness be nixed? And can Gotham survive the struggle? Find out in the conclusion of Batman: White Knight. SPOILERS AHEAD Let down Endings are hard. White Knight…
Bizarro’s secrets continue to erode, exposing more of the shocking truth to his friends at every turn. What will Jason find out from Ma Gunn's mysterious granddaughter? What will Artemis find out from Luthor? And what will Bizarro find beneath the moon on a clear night? You’ll find some answers in Red Hood and the…
It all comes to this: one final showdown with The Calculator, Blackbird, and Fenice. Can the Birds come out of this situation with their secrets—and their lives—in tact? Find out in Batgirl and the Birds of Prey #22. SPOILERS AHEAD More of the same One of my favorite movies is 2010’s Megamind, the dramatized identity crisis…
We are truly living in a Golden Age of cinema. Superhero cinema, in particular. After all, it seems like there's scarcely a comic book character or franchise that won't eventually make it to the screen, no matter how goofy or obscure. Remember, we live in a world where Ant-Man and the Guardians of the Galaxy…
DC Nation #0 features three short stories by three creative teams that set up major upcoming events. I was very curious going into this book to see what it would be like. On the one hand you could say it’s but an elaborate advertisement for those aforementioned events, but at the same time I was…
