  • Titans #14 review

      There’s an important moral to this story… Don’t order pizza from a place with “Fish” in the restaurant name… When you break it down, Titans is a solid book. I always enjoy it, but I’m beginning to become somewhat indifferent with it. Surprisingly, I feel that Titans has the opposite problem of most books…


  • Gotham Academy: Second Semester #12 review

    The end has finally come...but it's bittersweet.  Over the last three years, Gotham Academy has been one of the few books at DC that's been consistently entertaining.  That's not to say that the title was above fallibility (I'm looking at you Yearbook), but even when it made missteps, they were never so major that I couldn't…


  • Harley Quinn #25 review

    Harley is celebrating 25 in style! This slightly plump special issue packs in a little extra Harley for those of you can’t seem to get enough. And to sweeten the deal, Chad Hardin makes a triumphant return after what seems like a long absence from the title! Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti have saved some…


  • Detective Comics #962 review

    Unrelenting action, check.  Witty humor, check.  Amazing visuals, check.  Unexpected twists and turns, check.  AzBats, check.  And an ending that boils down to more than simply who can hit the hardest, check.  This sounds awesome!  I'm guessing right about now you're probably waiting for the other shoe to drop.  Well, fear not!  I wasn't just…


  • Justice League/Power Rangers #5 review

    Remember this comic? No? I don’t blame you: it’s been on hiatus since last spring, that’s why. That tends to happen when you have months-long gaps between issues of a six-issue limited series. Is anyone still following along with this thing? If you aren’t, that’s a shame because DC/Boom! Studios’ Justice League/Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers…


  • Red Hood and the Outlaws #13 review

    Bizarro is dead, but Lex Luthor is on the case! As Jason and Artemis worry for their friend, the big guy's past comes to light, and we learn that's his linguistic impairments mask a rather complex person. But does any of that matter if Luthor cannot bring him back? Find out what happens in Red…


  • Suicide Squad #23 review

      I’m really beginning to have a love/hate relationship with this arc of Suicide Squad. The whole, “Harley is the new field leader!” bit is beginning to get toned down (thankfully), but we unfortunately move from that focus to another one that feels equally as forced… The Squad going after Killer Frost and Batman.  …


  • Justice League of America #12 review

      Twelve issues in, and we’re finally getting what we’d hoped and expected to get from Justice League of America since its announcement! I won’t lie, the issues leading up to this arc have been… challenging. This issue, however, makes up for all of that and is a great jumping-on point! So… Jump on, because…


  • Break from the Bat Special: Mister Miracle #1

    We can't help it. We want to compare. How is Mister Miracle like Tom King's other work? Is it the next Vision? Will this latest King/Gerads collaboration be anything like Sheriff of Babylon? Nine-panel grids, a far off place—another Omega Men, perhaps? What do we have here? These questions are understandable, but they are the wrong…


  • Teen Titans Go! Digital-issue #46 review

    Titans Tower is falling apart.  The fridge is out, the elevator has stopped working, and worst of all? No.  TV. ::shudders:: What are the Titans who are also teens to do?  Well, with their savings tapped dry (not worth it) and no actual discernible cash flow, they do what any of us normal chumps would:…


  • Batman #28 review

    Gordon goes for a walk, Catwoman dons her Jim Balent apparel, and Deathstroke and Deadshot engage in a deadly duel to the death.  All in this weeks exciting installment of Batman! Upon opening this issue, the first thing I thought was, "Oh no, this isn't the second part of the Kite Man story!"  I really…


  • Injustice 2 #7 review

    Tom Taylor really want us to feel the burn in this latest addition to the emotional treadmill that is Injustice 2. We took a little break from the big action last time as we digressed into the arrival of Supergirl on the scene, but now we’re back to the Bat-gang, but in an usual way.…


  • Bane: Conquest #4 review

      This week in the pages of Bane: Conquest, Catwoman is coerced by Russian authorities to spy on a society of international thieves.  Meanwhile, Bane and Dionysius form a bet that just so happens to involve the exact same organization.... Catwoman's story: Our story opens with Catwoman meeting up with a fence to discuss stolen…


  • Nightwing #26 review

    Dick Grayson is angry. Understandably so: since moving to Blüdhaven to try and figure out his his purpose, things haven't exactly gone his way.  He thought he'd found love and a true reason to stay, though a pregnancy scare and kidnapping didn't help matters much.  That's to say nothing of his stupid mouth either, as…


  • Justice League #26 review

    The end is nigh, and it's the Justice League's fault! And their future children are going to tell them like it is and maybe try to save everything! With time travel and INFINITY STONES! What the heck is going on? Find out in Justice League #26. Back to the future I'm not going to complain…


  • DC Collectibles Batman: The Animated Series -- Batgirl review

    The same week SDCC was celebrating Barbara Gordon's 50th anniversary, DC Collectibles released the Batman: The Animated Series Batgirl figure. Like all toys in the BTAS line, Batgirl is modeled after the character's appearance in a specific episode and in this case that's the two-parter "Shadow of the Bat." It's a great one with themes…


  • Batman Beyond #10 review

      If we learned anything from Batman Beyond #10, it’s that Damian never loses his arrogance!   Batman Beyond #10 is a really quick read, but it’s an entertaining one! We finally get to take a glimpse into what put Damian on the path from Boy Wonder, to Batman, to Ra’s al Ghul. If you’re…


  • Justice League of America #11 review

      Believe it or not, I think this is the best issue of Justice League of America since its debut! I’m hoping (seriously… “hoping” should be bold and in caps) that this is just the beginning of JLA catching its stride.   Leading up to Justice League of America, I felt the title had a…


  • Detective Comics #961 review

    This week in the pages of Detective Comics: It's Azrael vs the Bat-Family, more flashback fun with Bruce and Zatanna, and Jean-Paul Valley takes a journey through his own subconscious. I know this story is supposed to be about Azrael, but my favorite parts of each issue have actually been the sections dedicated to Bruce/Batman…


  • Suicide Squad #22 review

    In this issue of Suicide Squad, Harley’s reign as field leader continues while, surprisingly, the most interesting aspects of the chapter stem from Waller’s plot! If there’s one thing I really enjoy about Rob Williams (other than the fact that he embraces consequences in his narratives), it’s that he keeps you on your toes. Every…
