14 on Justice League of America #23 reviewI'm going to be real here: Steve Orlando has been teasing that this arc will do things no other DC Comic has ever done before, so that got me thinking about what he could possibly mean. So far it's been a pretty standard story with twists and turns to be sure, though nothing that stands…
Dick Grayson just wanted to save the world. To a degree, he did: by robbing the world's superpowered beings of their abilities, he prevented the inevitable collateral damage that would result from fights between heroes and villains. By outlawing metahuman abilities, Dick made a world that was seemingly safe for "normal" people while "helping" those…
Hope Larson brings winter to Burnside/Gotham in this first part of a new arc titled “Cold Snap” that features our polar pal the Penguin--someone with whom Batgirl has a fairly well-established history as of late. Cobblepot isn’t causing any trouble just yet, however, as he rides into town on an open sleigh (or, rather, it’s…
I know what you’re thinking: what the heck are those things? If you don’t frequent comic shops (and maybe even if you do), this might be the first time you’re getting a peek at Diamond's Vinimates. And you might be thinking what the heck? The rapid evolution of taste I’m going to shoot straight: when…
DC Collectibles is kicking off its 20th year with a Batman Black and White design based on John Romita Jr.'s All-Star Batman: My Own Worst Enemy, a five-parter written by Scott Snyder with inks by Danny Miki and colors by Dean White. The story was Midnight Run starring Batman, Two-Face, and a seemingly unending parade…
What better way to kick off this new era in the Harley Quinn series than by just going full batshoes crazy in a new arc that promises us lots of Man-Bat serum, crazy transformation hijinx and Harley being a little more than usual off-key. “Batter Up” (Part One), serves no softball in Harley Quinn no.…
Batman and Batgirl suit up in arctic Bat-tle gear to infiltrate Superman’s Fortress of Solitude. Everyone else just has on their regular day-wear. It’s a strange choice that Xermanico executes in an otherwise triumphant artistic return to Injustice 2. I tried to justify it by saying they would have “stealth” white batsuits for camouflage, but…
The premise of Batman #39 is fairly simple. Wonder Woman and Batman team up to fight an endless horde of monsters in a parallel dimension. But seeing how this is written by King, things are never quite as simple as they initially appear. While you're certainly welcome to see the story as nothing more than…
Marguerite Bennett takes a break for Batwoman #11 but that doesn’t mean the issue lacks the staples of the series; character growth, flashbacks, horror and brooding aplenty feature in this month’s chapter. I was delighted to see from Panosian’s creepy cover that this issue, it’s all about Pyg! Personally, I can’t get enough of the…
In Trinity #17, Batman and Superman decide to help Wonder Woman find her lost island home of Themyscira, which has been missing since the beginning of Rebirth. In order to explain how Diana kept visiting the island throughout the New 52, it’s been suggested in Greg Rucka’s recent run that the wool has been pulled…
I’m not going to say this issue is bad… but it’s not great. Let me make one thing very clear, the main plot of Sam Humphries’ Nightwing run is excellent! I know we’re only two issues in, but in those two issues, he’s delivered a well written, street-level story that is full of intrigue, mystery,…
The League meets its biggest fan! Sadly, it’s not Bat-Mite, but he does enjoy coordinated tights just the same. Can the team take out a threat that knows everything about them, or will his deranged devotion to their cause irreparably damage their credibility first? Find out in Justice League #37. Looks like a different book…
At long last, the "Super Sons of Tomorrow" arc has come to an end. Of the five installments, this is the best, though that's unfortunately faint praise. Like too many crossovers in the past year, this one goes out with a bit of a whimper, its purpose seemingly nothing more than setting up even more…
One of the things that was so great about the first Batman and Ninja Turtles crossover was how well it was paced. It was never slow or boring, but it did take its time setting up the story and the first meeting between the title characters. Tynion took his time telling a story that, while…
Not only is this issue the start of a two-parter, it is also where a new creative team takes over from Williams & co, and so there is the opportunity for those looking to get into Suicide Squad to hop on board with a fresh start. The question is, of course: is this a good…
For one reason or another, I went into Detective Comics #972 expecting it to be somewhat substandard. But the fact of the matter is, I actually enjoyed most of it. Maybe it's the fact that my expectations were set low going into this. Since I was expecting something inferior and got more than a halfway…
Bizarro is slipping! The big guy's big brain boost was always expected to be temporary, but somehow, he's held on for quite a while. After coming to depend on his technological innovations and quick response times, how can the Outlaws survive when things go back to normal? It all starts to unravel in Red Hood and…
Last issue, the Titans abruptly vanquished Psimon, Mr Twister and the Key, broke the spell controlling Gnarrk and Mal, and Donna Troy somehow punched Troia back to the future. Time for a breather, then. Last issue promised ‘Next: Titans vs. Justice League’ which is kind of what you get in Titans #19 if what you…
So here we are, with another Teen Titans Go! issue. It is certainly something. Now, I know this series has a lot of detractors because of how silly it is, which is valid: it's incredibly silly, and oftentimes immature. See the newly-released trailer for the upcoming movie for proof of that. Yet it's also a…
Almost two years ago (February 2016), there was an exclusive Loot Crate Harley Quinn comic, which finally now is available to everybody. This oversize special presents the Loot Crate-exclusive story as a stand-alone comic, available in comics shops for the first time ever, with an additional eighteen (18!) pages of brand-new story and art by…
