44 on Detective Comics #965 reviewDetective Comics #965 is essentially a love letter to Tim Drake and I'm completely, absolutely, and utterly on board with that. I sat down and opened this issue to the very first page, and going no further than that, I already felt in my gut that I was holding something special. Something that hand been…
You should know something before you read my review… The story doesn’t matter. Just go get this issue because of Stjepan Sejic’s art! No seriously. Do it just to boost sales to show the importance of damn good artists! My introduction to this review is clearly a joke. Well, 50% of it is a joke.…
Dick Grayson has created some problems for himself. In the future presented in The New Order, the former Nightwing has done what he can to eliminate superpowers. Not content with setting off a bomb that takes away the abilities of 90% of the world's superpowered population, Dick is also the head of an organization that…
This story no longer makes any sense. What started out as a simple detective/thriller/noir story has devolved into super-powered inter-dimensional aliens. Although, to be honest, I don't have a problem with the inter-dimensional aliens/"Teachers". What I have a problem with is that the rules this world is governed by aren't adding up. The story starts off by…
Stop me if you’ve heard this one: a prominent producer of DC Comics statuary makes a 1/6 scale statue inspired by the cover of Alan Moore and Brian Bolland’s seminal work, The Killing Joke. Okay, you've probably heard this one, but indulge me for a little bit. There have already been several statues quite similar…
We get our first spotlight on Metal’s Dark Batmen with Batman: Black Racer Red Death #1. Oh, sorry… Was that telling? Batman: Red Death is ok. It’s not great, but it’s not terrible either. One of the things I think we’re going to come across with these evil Batmen, are comparisons. Clearly just looking…
We’re barrelling headlong toward the conclusion of Injustice 2 and what should be quite the cataclysmic confrontation between Batman and his “in-laws”--so say nothing of his estranged son and his zombie butler. “Scorched Earth” combines Digital Firsts 19 & 20 to get us into Ras al Ghul’s compound. I will confess the opening scenes are…
“Vote Harley!” We’re kicking of Harley Quinn’s mayoral candidacy in this book that’s an odd combination of a car-theft-ring bust and what’s looking to be Madison’s ultimate downfall. It’s one of those bridge books that demonstrates how brilliant Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti are at lobbing set-ups that still percolate with good energy and action.…
Marguerite Bennett (going solo on this installment) writes Batwoman like a fever dream. It’s disorienting, the logic is nearly impossible to follow, and you come away with a vague sense of there being some kind of inscrutable puzzle for which you have none of the proper pieces. But to be honest, I don’t think that’s…
This issue is pretty straight forward and predictable, which isn't something I've come to expect from King. Even when I've disliked a route he has chosen to take, it's still been fresh. He's also typically shown himself to be much more about exploring ideas instead of straight up offering a story that revolves almost entirely…
The Trinity continue to battle with Possessed Red Hood and the Possessed Outlaws, as Constantine finds himself in a colder clime. Can the Dark Trinity be freed from the Evil Trinity by the Plain Trinity before the Evil Trinity finds a way to use the Mystic Trinity to get the Dark Trinity to kill the…
Reunited—for the first time! As the Justice League continues to contemplate the Justice Seed, the kids begin to set their plan in motion. But the future isn’t done with them yet, and with the horizon rushing backward to meet them, heroes and heirs alike must face the consequences of the League’s particular brand of…
Join Metropolis' favorite son and Gotham's... Robin as they traverse a dangerous new world. Can Superboy and the Boy Wonder make their way back to Earth? Just where in the universe did Kraklow send them? Are they even in the same dimension anymore? All of this and more in this issue of Super Sons, which…
The Dark Knights of the Dark Multiverse have arrived, and in their wake comes destruction. To recap: Challengers Mountain, the headquarters of the Challengers of the Unknown, has suddenly nestled itself in Gotham City. That, along with the arrival of the heralds of Barbatos, have made Gotham a war zone. I mean, even more so…
Wonder Woman is already available on Digital HD, but on Tuesday, September 19th, the Blu-ray will be available. It comes with a bonus scene, a deleted scene, some extended scenes, and lots more. The Blu-ray features superior image and audio quality over the Digital HD version, as well as over two hours of special features.…
This is the best issue of Justice League of America to date! That’s all you really need to know!... Ok, fine, and there’s a sentient planet! Are you happy now? I have to admit, so far, “Crisis in the Microverse” is succeeding my hopes, and is completely living up to the potential I thought JLA…
Helena takes her students on a field trip, and Black Canary tags along as a chaperone. Meanwhile, Batgirl stays in Gotham and discovers she can fight crime on her own… You know… Cause it’s not like she does this every freaking month in Batgirl. God, I hate this book… It’s no secret that I hate…
One of the biggest negatives I had while reading the first issue of Dark Nights: Metal, was the sensation that I was missing out by not having previously read all the things that were being referenced. When reading Batman comics, I typically take for granted the fact that I understand ever reference and subtle nuance…
The past few months, I’ve been asking for a core plot to focus the characters’ individual character arcs… Well, ask and ye shall receive! Titans has an incredibly strong aspect going for it… Good characters and relationships. Dan Abnett has crafted some great character arcs over the past few months and has put a spotlight…
Make way for four wacky tales starring your favorite Maven of Mayhem! To celebrate Harley Quinn’s 25th anniversary, this special brings together three diverse teams to entertain us with some short Harley stories chock-full of DC guest stars. Bats doesn’t make a strong appearance here, but one story does center around a very cranky Robin.…
