0 on Absolute Power: Task Force VII #6Alright! Amanda Waller's army of loose cannon robots have finally obtain the powers of the Justice League. Fortunately for our heroes, this includes a bulk of their morals and personalities. Yet, this hasn't helped make Task Force VII's newest Amazo any nicer. Let's take a closer look below! Destroying A Sisterhood In spite of being…
After addressing the state of the world after what had happened in the previous series while also setting up the events of this comic, World War V has done enough to prepare its readers for what’s to come. Now, what does it do with all this valuable setup? The Plot Thickens…Pun Absolutely Intended So, I…
Hey, it only took two months to get a new issue of Echoes. And I actually thought the last issue was pretty decent, all things considered. Does the series start moving at a decent pace from here? The Art Does So Much Work… Joe Quinones and Leonardo Ito bring their A-game to this issue. It…
I’m not a crook. I’ve never committed a crime worthy of a story. But I am from New Jersey. And when you’re born and raised in New Jersey, you come to learn a couple of things about how a great crime story should go. As I’ve mentioned in previous reviews of…
We got a fun special oversized Poison Ivy issue this month featuring four short stories for different authors, tied together with a prologue and epilogue suggesting what could come next for the series. Beneath the Surface The first story written by Joanne Starer is basically a brief freudian nightmare. Batman takes on Poison Ivy at…
Does this book truly need an introduction? Yet another crime-fighting caper featuring our beloved Gotham heroes and Mystery Inc. This series has been somewhat of a double-edged sword for me. On the one hand, its's a very welcome distraction from the often mind-numbing state of current ongoing comics (huh, who said Batman?) yet on the…
The Boy Wonder wraps-up with the obligatory fight between Damian and Ra's al Ghul with help from the rest of the Bat family. Does this consistently enjoyable miniseries stick the landing? I’d say it gets pretty close. You know that joke about Batman basically being a trust fund kid who beats up poor people? Writer…
I’m glad this event is only four issues long because it’s already starting to try my patience. After last month was wasted on Nightwing worship and tie-in setups we do get to see the heroes put a plan into motion and fight back. Unfortunately, the comic just isn’t very interesting. Let’s get into it. The…
Edit: It has been brought to my attention that Jordie Bellaire goes by she/her. I should've been aware of that and I apologize for the error. I will edit my previous reviews of Birds of Prey to reflect this. Especially given how male dominated the field of comic artists is, it is extra egregious to…
Let’s say you’re writing a four-part ensemble story. You’ve laid out maybe a dozen different elements in the forms of plot threads, character ideas, and avenues for social or political commentary. Your story is moving along at an entertainingly fast clip for the first three parts, and now your remaining challenge is to bring it…
Last month I gave a tentatively positive review to that issue's cliffhanger ending, with the caveat that it would need to rely on this issue to follow through. Well, suffice to say it failed to follow through. Rather than an exhilarating action sequence showing how Batman and Catwoman's combined tactical and martial prowess allow them…
After a four-month hiatus, the space odyssey that is Batman: Off-World returns for its fifth issue. Batman has taken the fight to the Blakksun Mining Company as he tries to liberate the enslaved colonies across the Slag Galaxy. To combat Batman’s advances, the Blakksun Twins have hired their stormchaser known as The Thanagarian to take…
In the first issue of Absolute Power: Origins, Amanda Waller’s motivations were revealed. To be honest, those motivations didn’t make sense and the issue fell flat. But now that we know how she established her ties with the government; with the second issue, we find out how she created the infamous Task Force X a.k.a.…
Do you watch BreadTube-style video essays? I sure watch a hell of BreadTube-style videos essays, especially for someone who essentially has no idea what that means. I was simply told recently that I watch and enjoy a lot of BreadTube style video essays. One of the things you come to learn if you watch…
Amanda Waller's plan to stop all of the world's metahumans hinges on her adaptable team of Amazo androids. However, as each of them absorb the powers of the Justice League, they begin to develop fatal flaws. Namely, Task Force VII #5 covers the somewhat sad state of the Flash powered "Velocity." Let's get up to…
At long last the Orghams begin to crumble. Over the course of the entire run, we've seen their hubris grow along with their power, making them the kind of villain you desperately want to see fall. The fact that they repeatedly ruined Batman's life and everything he fought for certainly doesn't help in that regard,…
So, after taking half the series to do so, Batman: The Dark Age finally began to chart its own course separate from its predecessor. Does that trend continue, or do Mark Russell and the Allreds fall back into old habits? So This May Come as a Shock, But Batman Has a Tragic Backstory… I’m being…
For twenty one years, the world of Dark Knights of Steel was black and white. Imperceptibly, Deathstroke's deadly mission leads him to the one child who can change it all. Similarly, another child of destiny finds his way into the unwitting care of another pair of saviors. Join the discussion below! This Is Going To…
Last weak, faithful readers, we were witness to a good deal of gaming groundwork. This week, we really see things moving. Gotham City Sirens #2 is a real winner of a middle issue. Issue #1’s inciting reveal was that Punchline was behind the mysterious cyber-buffalo stampedes, and that the cartoonish futuristic Western violence running…
The fourth and penultimate part of Tom Taylor's finale of Nightwing is here. Ironically, before the Fallen Grayson can return home, the hero must once again learn to climb. To this end, Nightwing travels to the temples of Nanda Parbat to train under the high-flying Deadman! There's even a goofy cover of Batman dressed as…
