4 on LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes Knightcrawler Tunnel Attack reviewHappy Thanksgiving/Thursday, everyone. With the Christmas holiday fast approaching, retailers and toy manufacturers are ramping up their offerings on sweet merchandise you can purchase either for yourself or loved ones. Our good friends at LEGO in particular have tons of great DC Comics and Justice League themed sets this year, ranging from smaller affordable builds…
Orlando’s second chapter of “Surgical Strike” contains a combination of highs and lows. For me, Prometheus overcomes a chunk of this issue’s opportunities and tips the book towards the enjoyable side of the scale. That doesn’t mean all is excusable though. Some aspects that have bogged Justice League of America down since it’s debut come…
“Off the Leash” is Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Conner’s epilogue to the “Vote Harley” storyline and brings a whole new level of grim to what’s already been a pretty violent arc. On the one hand, I feel like we’re at long last seeing horrid characters get their overdue comeuppance, and on the other hand, I…
Well, last issue was pretty good, right? After the slow moving debut issue, Nightwing: The New Order took its time getting anywhere interesting. The second issue was even slower than the first, aiming for pathos yet not quite hitting the mark. I know I should be feeling something for these characters, especially when so many…
Stephanie is back on the team, politics once again put Gotham against Batman, and the villains are amassing to counter Batman's Gotham Knights. All this and more in this week's chapter of Detective Comics. As our story opens, we learn that Gotham has a new mayor. And, naturally, the first thing the press wants to…
Crash! Bang! Kersplatt! Onomatopoeia threatens all of the above on the citizens of Star City, and only Robin and Red Arrow stand in the breach. Maybe! Can the rest of the Titans convince Kid Flash to come back and help them help Damian help Emiko? Or will Wally keep his back turned and leave his…
“Summer of Lies” concludes its bumpy ride with a bit of a crash landing. Hope Larson’s Batgirl and Nightwing team-up is charming and we get all the sort of fun banter we could hope for between these two, but the ultimate resolution to this long-building mystery doesn’t really provide us with any surprises. The story…
There are toys and figures of all types these days: LEGO sets, action figures, busts and statues. If you're a collector, chances are you'll find something out there to like. Jada Toys, makers of remote control and metal toy cars, have a new line of collectibles: Nano Metalfigs. The die-cast metal figurines, each about an…
It’s Justice League month, so it’s only fitting that the Legion of Collectors would send out a box of goodies based on the film. Other than a questionable t-shirt design, this one is pretty great, with two Pop!s and several other sweet, fresh items. Check out the video, and then sign up at legionofcollectors.com.
It's one of comics' biggest mysteries, as well as one of the biggest "holy crap" moments to come along in years: the characters of Watchmen are coming to the DC Universe. Once viewed as a standalone work, and rightly so (barring Before Watchmen, which I've heard isn't as bad as you'd expect but on the…
It's here at last—the conclusion of "Dark Destiny." Will Circe succeed in sucking the souls out of scads of slavish supers? Or will our heroes find a way to prevail? Find out in Trinity #15! Ding-dong, the witch is dead Whereby "the witch," I mean "this arc," and not "Circe"—I won't tell you one way or…
The Justice League has been defeated! With Batman and Superman lost in the dark, and Cyborg subdued by the Murder Machine, the Batman Who Laughs and his Band of Bad Bat Boys (and girl) made quick enough work of the rest of the team. Can our heroes get out of this pickle? Find out if…
Scarecrow is the star of this issue of Marguerite Bennett’s Batwoman, “Stay High”. And Prime continues to represent a nadir of character development and interest in my personal book of “failed mission sidekicks”. The two points together make for a bit of an uneven issue, but I’m going to say it falls well on the…
This might feel like a lull in what has been a long string of relentless action, but it’s a much-needed pace-breaker in which Tom Taylor can let us catch our breaths and consider all the carnage that has resulted from Batman’s “successful” mission to recover the kidnapped children of Ollie, Dinah, and Black Lightning. Digital…
It’s no secret that I don’t love the whole “Metal” event we’re having, but this book was a surprisingly not-terrible read. Even better than not-terrible, it was actually pretty great! While it follows a similar pattern to the other Dark Multiverse tie-ins we’ve had so far: grim origin story typically involving a dystopian future or…
I… I can’t put into words the amount of joy I experienced reading this chapter of Super Sons… So I have no idea how I’m going to discuss how incredibly fun and satisfying this issue is. The only expression that seems remotely appropriate, would be to hug Tomasi. You know, one of those long, awkward,…
Someone should really look into Bludhaven… They appear to have a serious steroid problem! As we all know, this is Tim Seeley’s final arc. I’m sad to see him go because he’s delivered some great Dick Grayson stories over the past few years, but I also understand the need or desire to move on. To…
In the last issue of Batman, we were left with a cliffhanger that teased a climactic sword duel between Catwoman and Talia Al Ghul....and that's exactly what this issue delivers! This isn't the only similarity between their fight and the one from Robin Hood. It's just the one I choose to highlight. If you don't…
Never did I think that a Sixties Batman-inspired cartoon would nearly bring me to tears, but here we are. Last year's Batman: Return of the Caped Crusaders was a runaway success. It was more Batman, which is always welcome, and proof that even the silliness of the Sixties television series has a place in the…
I used to have a guitar that was made of resin. If I had known that when I first played it, I probably would have passed on it. Guitars are made of wood, dagnabbit! I kind of felt the same way about Diamond’s collection of Batman: the Animated Series resin busts when I first saw…
