2 on Suicide Squad #21 reviewIn this chapter of Suicide Squad, Amanda Waller goes on trial, and Harley Quinn takes over as the field leader of the Squad! I wish I could say I enjoyed this issue as much as I typically do, but this whole Harley thing is really throwing me off! Writing comics is no easy…
Maps Maps Maps Maps Maps Maps Maps Maps Maps Maps. That's right! This issue is all about, the one, the only, the incomparable....Maps! So, if you are a Maps fan (like I am, and like I'm sure 90% of you out there are), you're going to have a great time with this issue. As the…
Bizarro is dying. The goofy, beloved super-clone has been the emotional glue of the Outlaws since this series began, all while having an innate death sentence hanging over his head. Is this really the end? That is the question haunting Red Hood and the Outlaws #12. Lop-sided excellence We're a year into RHATO now, and what…
Steve Orlando brings “Escape from the Phantom Zone” to its inevitable finale. What do you think, folks? Do Supergirl and Batgirl and random Ben character make it out safely? Do they defeat the evil Xa-Du? Does the giant pink dragon open up a can of whup on the scene? I think we know all the…
I've said it many, many times before, and it bears repeating: the 1960s Batman television show is experiencing a well-deserved renaissance. With books, movies, and other memorabilia coming out to celebrate the landmark show, there's something out there for every fan of the zany adventures of Adam West and Burt Ward's Caped Crusaders to enjoy. …
The Titans have faced numerous threats: entire teams of supervillains, creatures from the underworld, and traitors among their ranks. So when the Justice League comes calling, you know they're going to answer. And what is it that is too difficult for even the League to surmount? Baby... sitting? D'awwwwwwwwww. He's got a widdle-biddy spit-curl and…
Yesterday, I read two comic books. One was Batman #26. The other was this totally generic comic that lacked even a hint of intrigue and resorted to a paint-by-numbers approach that eliminated any sort of unconventional storytelling elements. It's not that this comic was bad (although it does have one very bad part), but the…
Ra’s al Ghul is really starting to up the ante against Batman and his dwindling Resistance, and Tom Taylor is upping the ante as well--bringing in some interesting characters we haven’t spent quality time with in the Injustice series yet. And as with all of Taylor’s work on Injustice, he hooks you and then he…
There are some big shifts being set up in this issue which, though it definitely feels like one of those bridges between the major action, still brims with plenty of Harley craziness. Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti are finally pushing the conflict between Mayor DePerto and Chief of Police Spoonsdale into almost-open warfare as the…
Part two of "The War of Jokes and Riddles" is little more than a preamble to the main event. But can I just say, if the story is already this awesome and we are only in setup mode, well then, I believe we can expect some truly great things to come from this arc. Let's…
Mera is on a rampage! The League investigates some powerful phenomena at sea, only to find the would-be queen of Atlantis playing dangerous with the ocean. The Aquaman tie-in that we never knew we wanted (and still aren't sure about) If you didn't read Aquaman #25, then you may experience some initial confusion in Justice…
Imagine if you will a story told in two parts. One deals with some domestic issues among a few supporting characters, a largely dialogue-driven affair that takes place within the office of a community center. The writing is engrossing, thanks in no small part due to the fact that you care about these people. We…
In this installment of Back Issue Review, we're taking a look at an issue of one of the most underappreciated comic series of the past few decades: Superman Adventures. Based on the Superman cartoon from the 90s, this series was similar to the comparable Batman series in that it told some of the best stories…
The Joker. His body count is pure fantasy, so it's socially acceptable to pay tribute to his crimes with a statue proudly displayed in your home or office. Sure, his fictional deeds are abhorrent, but at least he never forced a baby to choke on a ping-pong ball or something awful like that-- that's The…
You know the phrase, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.” I often think of that phrase when I read Justice League of America. I see what Orlando is trying to do. The heart is there… but the execution is far from good. Since its launch, JLA has been plagued with…
In this chapter of Suicide Squad, Amanda Waller assigns a new field leader! I’m going to be honest with you… Not much happens in this issue. If you were hoping to jump into the aftermath of Flag’s sacrifice, and ramrod head-first into that drama, then curb those expectations. If you were expecting more…
Batman / The Shadow #1....LOVED IT! Batman / The Shadow #2....LOVED IT! Batman / The Shadow #3....um, I kinda loved it. Now now now. Before you pelt me with tomatoes, I'm not saying it's bad. It's good! In fact, I enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm just saying it isn't as good as the first…
One of the most important aspects of Batman Beyond is that of legacy. What is Bruce's legacy? Is it a failed mission as Batman? After all, there is still just as much crime in Gotham as ever, and he'd been long-forgotten by the time we enter the story. Or is Terry his legacy? Does it…
Previously in the pages of Detective Comics: The Order of St. Dumas has activated an A.I. program that will transcend the faults that all the previous Avenging Angels eventually succumbed to. Concurrently, Bruce Wayne attends a card game at the Iceberg Lounge in order to meet with Zatanna and enlist her help in a matter…
Now we reach the end of the road for Batman '66 Meets Wonder Woman '77. This is the first issue of the series released after the sudden death of Adam West, and his loss still stings. We'll always have his work to remember him by, though, and his legacy lives on even now in comic…
