3 on Suicide Squad #32 reviewRob Williams wraps up “The Secret History of Task Force X” in this week’s chapter of Suicide Squad, and while I consider this issue to be a high-point for the arc, it’s still, unfortunately, quite mediocre overall. I feel as though Rob Williams has lost his way. I’m not certain what’s to blame – perhaps…
There's no one more metal than Hawkman. And there is perhaps no one more integral to Dark Knights: Metal than Carter Hall. But where has he been all this time? Answers await in Hawkman: Found #1. I don’t always enjoy Metal, but when I do, I choose Nth Metal Metal has been a mixed bag for me.…
Here’s the third chapter of Super Sons of Tomorrow, a 5-part crossover running through Superman, Super Sons, and Teen Titans. This arc once again sees the return of Tim Drake of Tomorrow to the present day DC Universe, and he’s come to execute a plan similar to what he attempted during A Lonely Place of…
For decades, there were two primary Batman titles: Detective Comics and Batman. Sure, Bats and his extended family would show up in a variety of titles, such as World's Finest, Justice League of America, and the like, and there were even Batman-branded titles like Batman and the Outsiders, Batman Family, and The Brave and the…
Two weeks ago we had a strong epilogue to the most recent storyline and now we get “The Mourning After”, which unfortunately feels like an epilogue to the epilogue. It’s pretty common that following a big story we need a bridge to get us going into the next thing and Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner…
Scott Snyder (Script) Greg Capullo (Pencils) Jonathan Glapion (Inks) FCO Plascencia (Colors) In this month’s Metal the heroes have split up in smaller teams, all with a mission of their own. While the multiple story arcs are fun to read in their own right, the pacing is so relentlessly fast that it can be hard…
It’s a race to free Wonder Woman! As Kara, Antiope, and Phillipus lead a band of sisters to aid Diana, they face stiff opposition. Elsewhere, Barry rights two wrongs—even at the risk of violating Batman's rules. One story ends, and another plays out in its entirety, in Injustice 2 #16. Paradise Lost, Pt. 3 This…
This is the first chapter of the 5-part crossover, Super Sons of Tomorrow. The issue is fast paced, full of action, and sets the stage for the rest of the arc (which runs through Super Sons #11, Teen Titans #15, Superman #38 and Super Sons #12). Now, I’ll go ahead and say this up front:…
Bludhaven… See it at night and it shines… Sam Humphries and Bernard Chang debut their run on Nightwing, and I’m quite impressed with the product. This isn’t an explosive issue though, so if you’re expecting the story to move from zero to sixty, you might be disappointed. While I find the plot intriguing, there isn’t…
Before you read this review or, more importantly, this issue, you really need to read Superman #37. I mean, sure, you should already be reading Superman anyway because it's been one of the best DC titles in recent memory, but Super Sons here is the second part of a crossover that began in today's issue…
Time. There are few moments in our life when time means more to us than New Year's Eve. We watch the minutes tick by, counting down to a fresh start, a new beginning. However, for Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman- time is running out. They've got until midnight on New Year's Eve to save the…
Now this is a bit more like it. I was really excited about the prospect of a second meeting between Batman and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. While the debut issue of the miniseries was passably entertaining, there were enough storytelling problems to dampen my enthusiasm. Gone was the almost delirious joy of seeing two…
Batman #37 is all about the comedy. If you're looking for crime fighting and super villains, you won't find that here. As the title on the cover implies, this issue features a double date between DC's two most prominent power couples. But where oh where does one go on the rare off-night from busting heads…
The Dark Knight done screwed up! After an over-tired Batman's dulled judgment cost a nun her life, the government wants answers. But to whom does the Justice League answer, and can their many successes atone for a life-ending failure? These are the questions at the forefront in Justice League #35, as “The People vs. Justice…
This week in Batgirl & the Birds of Prey, we learn that Gotham has TERRIBLE doctors! (No wonder our heroes tend to patch themselves up…) It’s no secret that I’m not a fan of this book. The Benson’s are lovely people, but their craft is dismal. I haven’t liked a single arc yet, and if…
Oh crap… It’s the “Hero Harley Show” this week in Suicide Squad… Also, the last issue featured the Red Wave monster going after Karin Grace to regain half of its heart. This issue features the exact same thing, and not much else. “The Secret History of Task Force X” has been a mixed bag for…
Wally West is dead! Evil Donna Troy from the future has arrived! The Titans are all but defeated! Will they be able to turn things around? Find out in Titans #18- the final chapter of the arc, The Fall of Troy. DC removed the Rebirth banner from the cover, but these past few issues have…
Detective Comics #970 primarily focuses on Tim Drake overcompensating for his prolonged absence, Clayface trying to cure his "condition", and...a truckload of Cyber Assassins?!? Tim's story revolves around him basically trying to do everything. Almost as if his most recent ordeal has turned him into an obsessive-compulsive mirco-manager. While it's nice to see Tim happy…
Steve Orlando wraps up “Surgical Strike” this week, and he does so by delivering the best issue of the series! Justice League of America has had its fair share of problems since its debut. I think we can all agree on that. Over the past year, the storylines and characters just haven’t come together in…
The Outlaws are on a mission—with Task Force X! What could possibly go wrong? Find out in Red Hood and the Outlaws #17! Good fun If nothing else, this installment is a good excuse for some laughs. I would read the heck out of twelve issues of an Artemis/Harley team-up, and there’s quite a bit…
