3 on Injustice 2 #23 reviewTom Taylor’s Injustice 2 continues to pull no punches whatsoever as a new and sort of misaligned Justice League takes on Ra’s al Ghul’s insanely invulnerable Amazo. It’s Wonder Woman and Batman! It’s Green Arrow and Black Adam! And yet somehow it’s still going to take more to put this killing machine down. Digital Firsts…
James Tynion has a tendency to overwrite, filling his pages with an abundance of exposition and fluff… This isn’t one of those instances. First off, I have to give Tynion credit for winning my attention immediately on the first page. I opened the book and felt like I had been sucked into a time-warp that…
If you’re worried about what Facebook is doing with your information, then stay the hell away from Nevrland! Ben Percy’s run on Teen Titans will wrap in the near future, and while I’ve found his take on the group enjoyable, I never felt that the title had much purpose or direction (granted, the overabundance of…
Captain Prohaska, codenamed The Wall, is a super-soldier employed by the United States government. The character was first introduced in Suicide Squad #35. This guy has advanced stealth technology and even carries a small nuclear warhead as part of his arsenal. He also has an AI implanted in his brain so he can access military…
After months of boring, repetitive build-up, things are finally happening in Batman Beyond. Though in many respects issue #18 follows the by-the-numbers approach we’ve seen throughout ‘The Long Payback,’ it’s an issue with lasting consequences for both the heroes and the villains of Gotham City. Last issue, Payback (the arc’s chief antagonist) finally came to…
There are scenes in this week's Justice League of America that have some of the most visually engaging artwork I've seen on this title to date. Using repeated panels to evoke a sense of deja vu and some nifty clockwork backgrounds, there's a sense of... let's call it poetry, as the Justice League of America…
It’s more of the same from this week’s Trinity with plenty of mindless spectacle and no attention paid to story or character. The awful ‘No Home For You Here’ arc may be over but our heroes are not yet rid of the twin blights of Deimos and James Robinson. Based on issue #20, it seems…
Here it is at last. The final installment in the long-running Metal event. Two months ago we saw an aged Bruce and Clark leaping across the Forge of Worlds, then sinking into the forge itself. We also saw Diana going toe to toe with Black Adam, and afterward, together with Kendra, leaping into battle. Most…
Maybe this is on me, but I just was not engaged. It's strange to say that, because I've enjoyed reading Doomsday Clock so far. More than that, I enjoy writing about it, because it feels like it's about something. It's similar to why I love Mister Miracle: while that series is firmly, unashamedly rooted in…
If you were as amped and excited as I was going into this issue, then you’re probably feeling my same disappointment if you read this chapter… Cause it’s a major speedbump for The Silencer. I’m not sure what’s going on at DC at the moment, but they can’t seem to keep a good thing going!…
This comic book has problems, but I don’t care and I’m giving it a relatively high score because it was just such a fun kick in the pants to read: start to finish, just a solid adventure you might enjoy from an episode of Batman: the Animated Series, for example: fun, light-hearted, and fast-paced. And…
Chapter One of The Brave and the Bold: Batman and Wonder Woman was a highly entertaining and well-crafted comic. It set a high bar for the series as the artwork was phenomenal and Sharpe showed range in his writing. However, it raised several questions as well. One such question is when Wonder Woman and Batman…
Batman #41 was a creepy psychological thriller. Then, Batman #42 did a 180 and gave us silly slapstick mixed with unexplainable scenarios. With Batman #43, we've yet again flipped in a completely new direction, poignant social commentary. To be honest, I was dreading this issue. I simply couldn't fathom how King could possibly pull out…
It’s been a few years since we last saw Beth in the flesh, and Safiyah’s part in Kate’s story has been teased for over a year now. Finally, with ‘The Fall of the House of Kane,’ Marguerite Bennett is ready to share the tale it’s all been building towards! Issue #13 provides an exciting first…
On the magnetic strip in this cassette tape, lives the greatest song ever written, The Night Begins to Shine! Influenced by the sounds of the '80s, it was 40% written by Carl Burnett, 40% by Franklin Enea, and a sweet, sweet 20% by William J. Reagan. The song that spawned episodes that spawned a cultural…
This week, Nightwing faces his final judgment! I had a good feeling about this book before I read it because Jay sent me a picture of a panel with the text “#SickNasty!” What is the panel that’s deserving of such eloquent praise? Why, this one, of course! I, too, find this panel to be #SickNasty, so…
In their strong debut issue, Gage and Ienco successfully reintroduced us to the Telltale Games continuity and set up Batman's two major obstacles for the series: the perception of Thomas Wayne and his legacy in the light of monstrous revelations, and chief antagonist Deadshot. Issue #2 doesn't progress the story much but continues to entertain…
Frank Tieri really pulls it together in this fourth installment of the “Angry Bird” storyline. While we still have no idea what is motivating the Penguin’s cadre of assembled third-tier villains, the story is starting to take shape around Killer Croc in an expected, but interesting way. Especially nice to see, is the return to…
The sweeping romance of Killer Croc and the Killer Whale continues in Tom Taylor’s tale of bestia--no wait, this is Injustice 2. Well, actually I guess the statement stands. It’s little details like this oddball, slightly comedic relationship that can keep a reader on their toes in this book. You can never get too comfortable…
You want to know how fun Super Sons can be when it delivers? This issue feels like it was supposed to be the second part of a longer arc that was ultimately truncated into a two-parter, yet even then the writing is so charming it's still a satisfying experience. Now, I'll be the first to…
