25 on Batman #40 reviewBatman #40 is the conclusion of the Super Friends arc, and it picks up right where #39 left off. In the previous issue we were introduced to the Gentle Man and the realm where he has been fighting a horde of demons for a thousand years. Batman and Wonder Woman fought by his side once,…
Alfred is dead. Gordon is gone. Nightwing and Batgirl are in league with the enemy. The boy who lost everything has lost everything for a second time, and this might be the loss that sticks. In Batman: White Knight #5, it only gets worse—and Batman and his city may never recover. SPOILERS AHEAD. The mask comes off…
Swamp Thing rules. I don't know the exact reasons why, but I love this guy. Sure, Swamp Thing is a great, great character, but what is it about him that's so appealing? Is it the cool character design? The deep, rich mythology? The fairly silly name that belies one of the most compelling and sympathetic…
This month’s The Shadow/ Batman #5 slows things down a little as Steve Orlando and Giovanni Timpano set up the story’s climax and conclusion for next month! I’ve given The Shadow/ Batman quite a bit of praise over the past five months, and it deserves every bit of it! Orlando and Timpano have setup and…
Tom Taylor likes to play with our emotions. We know this. He’s killed off untold favorites since the dawn of Injustice: ripping our hearts out with every distress-filled death since Lois Lane was taken out by a narcotized Superman in the very first issue. So it should come as no surprise (though still may be…
After a rough flashback, Nightwing rebounds as he and the Judge come face to face! Sam Humphries launched an impressive run on Nightwing by diving right into the heart of the city and introducing a slew of new themes, characters, and threats. At the forefront of these changes are the Judge and Guppy. The Judge…
Things are changing. Batman's crisis of confidence continues, and his team rises to meet it with a crisis of their own. Is a hiatus really in store for the Dark Knight—and who will take his place in the interim? Find out in Justice League #38. Big spoilers ahead Yuck I do not like this. After…
The title of this week’s Harley Quinn is “Angry Bird”, which certainly refers to the important and well-known villainous bird on the cover in particular, but preliminary to anything else about this comic, I submit for your amusement the following show-stealers as the bigger and angrier birds of the book--the return of Maurice and Pierre:…
Detective Comics Annual #1 is another new origin story for Clayface. When I first read the solicit, I thought to myself, haven't I already read this? And I'm not even talking within Tynion's own run, but didn't we have a revamped Clayface origin back in 2013? So, I pulled out Batman: The Dark Knight 23.3…
Metal #5 continues to juggle the different plot threads that we saw in the preceding episode, with the exception of The Flash, who we have not seen since Metal #4. This issue, right from the opening page, screams METAL in your face, as the metal spirit is infused with every single panel. Compared to the…
I’m a manly man. I like guy stuff. I have three sons who are also into guy stuff. And I never, ever, ever thought that I would be reviewing a book with “Girl Power” in the title for the second time. But My Girl Power Journal isn’t just any book; it’s the latest DC-themed gem from…
You’re probably asking yourself, “Who is the Silencer?” The simple answer? She’s a total badass. I have a confession… After reading Damage, I was quite underwhelmed. Yes, the book has incredible art thanks to Tony Daniel, but nothing happened. I walked away from the issue feeling as though it didn’t really establish itself. I’ll pick…
So yeah, Doom Patrol. That book is bonkers. How bonkers is it? Grant Morrison used to write it, that's how bonkers. It's a team with members like a robot man named Robotman (or Cliff), a being named Danny that was once a street and then a world and then a brick and is now an…
Last we saw Harley she was going through an emotional transition period following the death of Mason, leading to a literal transition into a screeching Harley-Bat thanks to Francine Langstrom’s bat serum (with which she also infected Big Tony). “Batter Up” (Part Two) wastes no time showing us what a menace a Harley-Bat can be.…
A scheming nemesis waits in the wings while the hero runs the gauntlet and faces each of his villains in turn. It’s a basic plot, but it only works when it’s executed well. The current arc in Batman Beyond, ‘The Long Payback,’ is not succeeding. In issue #14, Batman took on the Royal Flush Gang…
First Victim's dastardly plan unfolds as a gigantic rage induced Clayface goes on a rampage through Gotham City that will undoubtedly turn many more citizens against the Dark Knight over his willingness to utilize a super villain on his new task force. Will the Gotham Knights be able to stop Clayface in time, or is…
A funny thing happened early on in this issue of Doomsday Clock: I started buying into it. Now, this series has been pretty entertaining since day one, but I've still kept it at arms-length for a few reasons. Watchmen is great and, while I don't hold it in quite as high a regard as most…
Suicide Squad #34 is part two of The Chosen One, an arc written by Si Spurrier and illustrated by Fernando Pasarin (pencils), Sean Parsons (inks) and Blond (colors). It picks up right where the previous issue left off, with the main character—a nobody named Juan—in great peril as he is about to be eaten by…
Twenty-five. That’s how many years have passed since Paul Dini and Bruce Timm's charmingly psychotic Harley Quinn first appeared on Batman: The Animated Series. She’s come a long way since then, breaking the Joker's abusive hold and rising to become what is now arguably DC's second hottest property. You can’t throw a mallet at Comic…
Teen Titans #16 is a one-shot issue brought to you by the guest creative team of Marv Wolfman, Tom Derenick, Trevor Scott and Jim Charalampidis. This issue presents a one-shot narrative with the spotlight on Starfire, and supporting roles for Raven and Beast Boy. Although some prior knowledge about Starfire might enhance your reading, rest…
