10 on Justice League #39 reviewThe deranged Fan has divided and scattered the Justice League. Public opinion is sinking, systems are compromised, and our heroes appear to be under siege. How can they stop an adversary who knows them so well? And how do they repair the broken trust of the people they serve? Things are not looking so good…
What a weird ride this series has been: it started off pretty lackluster, turned things around in its second issue, and then hit what I can only hope is its nadir at the halfway point last month. To say that the second team-up between Batman and the Ninja Turtles has been inconsistent wouldn't be too…
Tom Taylor plays with the lives of the Injustice characters like a cruel and merciless god who occasionally has a good day and decides to do something kind for a change. So while this book deals lots of death blows, it also reaffirms a few lives in that surprising and wholly organic way that Taylor…
Telltale Games, purveyors of cinematic, choice-driven video games, graced us with their first Batman season in 2016 and it was very well-received so it’s not surprising that a second season followed and DC have now launched a comic series to bridge the gap between the two (especially if you consider how successful the Injustice spin-off…
Issue #1 of Batman and the Signal was a rocky but not altogether unsatisfying start. Issue #2 continues the odd story of Gotham by daylight and avoids the major pitfall of the previous issue by barely including Batman at all. This is good in one respect because Tony Patrick didn’t nail the dark knight’s voice…
The “Angry Bird” arc continues, but this time without much in the way of actual angry birds. We know that Oswald Cobblepot is still pulling the strings from behind the scenes, but for the moment the focus is on the first wave of goony D-list villains he’s shopped in from Gotham to start wreaking havoc…
At the heart of the current arc in Trinity is quite an exciting kernel of an idea; Earth’s three greatest heroes inserted into a fantasy milieu. Unfortunately, after reading Trinity #18, I’m convinced that ‘the Trinity in Skartaris’ made up the entirety of James Robinson’s pitch to DC. It’s never developed from idea to actual…
Dark Knights Rising: The Wild Hunt #1 is a one-shot issue set between Metal #5 and #6. As such, it is safe to say that you would get the most out of this story if you are already invested in the Metal event, or at least have been following the core series. Additionally, it helps…
Detective Comics #974 is mainly about the fallout of Batwoman's actions from the previous issue. 3 weeks ago, we saw Kate Kane take Clayface's life by shooting him through the head with an experimental gun developed by The Colony. Ever since then, I've been pondering what would happen next. My primary feeling was that there…
Batgirl has been wearing multiple hats lately. CEO, criminal-puncher, and ethical hacker. She wants to make life safer for her city and her friends, but in the process she’s made some enemies. So when she takes a step too far in her quest to clean up the streets, those close to her are put into…
Zoinks and outrageous, chums! Batman is back with his hammers of justice, and this time he's teamed up with those groovy teens of Mystery, Inc. to solve the one unsolved mystery that has haunted the Caped Crusader for years. After airing its final episode over six years ago, the announcement that The Brave and the…
Suicide Squad #35 is the start of a new arc, entitled Drain The Swamp. After a short break, Rob Williams is back on scripting duties, this time delivering a story about artificial technology and the dangers that come with it. While I think that the art is solid and that the issue is a quick…
Last issue, the Justice League disbanded the Titans and Roy decided to take on Intergang all on his own. We left Roy under heavy fire in issue #19 so it’s a bit jarring to find him relatively unscathed at the beginning of issue #20 (that armour must be really good). Anyway, he’s still in a…
Happy Valentine's Day! If you've longed to see Jason and Artemis take their relationship beyond insults and jokes, then it looks like your 'ship has finally come in, because Red Hood and an Outlaw are going out on the town. But Bizarro's still up to stranger things, and he may not be able to hide…
I'll give it this: the "Deadly Fable" arc has had some interesting ideas. Ideas are nothing without execution, though, which is actually pretty ironic given the events of this issue. But we'll get to the whys and the hows in a bit. This issue of Justice League of America is the culmination of events that…
This time in Bane: Conquest…Bane falls asleep! Issue #7 also continues the tale of Bane and the Serpent, picking up right where we left off in issue #6 with an overblown action scene that swings wildly between the ridiculous and the dramatic. Bullets fly, daring escapes are attempted, Bane shouts in Spanish and a Kobra…
Issue #6 of Bane: Conquest marks the beginning of the series’ third arc. ‘The Sword’ started strong but faltered due to poor characterisation and ‘The Challenge’ was just nonsense, albeit with the fun addition of Catwoman; can ‘The Serpent’ fare any better? The book opens with an introduction to Bane’s next nemesis, Naja Naja (the…
“Milk Wars” kicked off in the wonderfully weird JLA/ Doom Patrol Special #1, and I was surprised by how much heart the issue had, despite the oddity of the concept. The question now, is whether or not this trend will continue in the other titles? The basic concept of “Milk Wars” is that Retcon, an…
For a crossover that should be overloaded with fun antics, Harley & Ivy Meet Betty and Veronica is just mediocre. Marc Andreyko and Paul Dini started this miniseries quite beautifully, bringing different worlds together in unexpected, yet completely believable, ways. I thoroughly enjoyed the first two issues because they featured a plethora of characters in…
Funko does it all. They're best known for their Pop! vinyl figures, but they have an ever-growing catalog of other products, as well. Dorbz, Hikari, Pint-Sized Heroes—they probably make at least one thing for everyone. So in an already-diverse product line, why introduce the Target-exclusive HeroWorld series of vinyl collectibles? Let’s consider. A kid-friendly aesthetic…
