8 on Titans #12 reviewI can’t tell you how happy I am to move past “The Lazarus Contract.” Nothing worthwhile really came from the story, aside from a few transitions that were randomly included at the end. Thankfully, Abnett uses Titans #12 to remind readers of the (much better) storylines he’d initiated prior to “The Lazarus Contract.” …
On the surface (aka: without using any brain power), this issue is ok. There actually are some good aspects. If you insert any ounce of logic though, you quickly realize this is one big, heaping pile of crap – just like every issue of Batgirl & the Birds of Prey since issue number 2…
We've reached the tipping point! As the Amazons of Bana-Mighdall confront General Heinle and his army, the Outlaws find themselves on different sides of the same conflict. But who's right? And can their friendship survive? Find out in Red Hood and the Outlaws #11. A disappointing conclusion to an engaging arc Even the best of…
Time is short for our dear Detective Club members, both literally and figuratively. In reality, there are only two issues after this one before the series is over. It will be a bittersweet farewell for the students of Gotham Academy for sure, but after the events of this issue there may not even be a…
2017 has been a solid year for comic book movies so far, and two of the best examples of the genre have been The LEGO Batman Movie and Wonder Woman. The former is a celebration of everything Batman, and the latter may be the purest superhero movie in years. Truly, they're excellent films in their…
You really want to get my attention? Make a "Weird Al" reference. That man is the greatest musical genius of modern times. No joust, no arguments. The Titans, on the other hand... Well, they give it a fair shake. While watching a reality singing competition show thing on TV (where Raven is inexplicably a judge)…
When you think Batman, you think Gatling gun and roller skates, am I right? Of course I'm not! But I bet I know what you are actually thinking right now: What the hell is this thing? DC Collectibles' Batman Black and White line has been delivering stylish monochromatic Batman statues for over a decade, but…
Injustice 2 combines Digital Firsts 5 & 6 (“Contingency” and “Breakout”) into an issue of Injustice heavy on the intrigue. And if you have been playing the “Who’s FauxBat” game for the last couple of issues, I think we get our answer here even though it’s never explicitly stated. Am I right? And are we…
Once again this book surprises me with a twist I could have never predicted. And may I also say that Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti manage to pack more into 14 pages of this book than many other books still running at 22. Not only do I never feel robbed on the main storylines, but…
Think back to November 2015. That was about 18 months ago. A year and a half. Feels like a lifetime, doesn't it? Think about all that's happened in those 18 months. Not just in the world, but in your personal life. That's a lot of time for a lot of changes. On the Batman/comic book/media…
Quarantine on the Watchtower! An infestation has the League (and a few guests) stuck 22,300 miles above Earth. Can they neutralize the threat without any casualties? And can they do it in time for Lois to make her deadline? Find out in Justice League #22! Mild spoilers ahead. A whole lot of fun at precisely…
This was a really great issue. And I'm not even talking about the insane cliffhanger. (Spoilers, there's an insane cliffhanger.) I'm talking about everything leading up to it. Sure, some people are going to fixate on the ending at the detriment of the rest of the issue, and I think that's really sad. Especially when…
Alright, let's talk about the very best thing on that cover. You know what it is without me having to even say anything. It's not that dynamic shot of Nightwing kicking Blockbuster in the face. It's not that couple in the background, one of whom is taking a picture with an awful bright flash. It's…
The warden threw a party in the county jail. The prison band was there and they began to wail. The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing. You should've heard them knocked-out jailbirds sing. Let's rock, everybody, let's rock! Sorry. I know that's probably a dated reference that many of you won't get,…
What is more important: duty or justice? When should "what's right" supersede "the law"? At what point should you stop protecting an individual in order for justice to be served? These are incredibly heady, very difficult questions, and each is posed in Greg Rucka and J. G. Jones' Wonder Woman-The Hiketeia. Originally published in 2002,…
Be careful kids… This is some shallow water you’re treading. Here’s the deal, for DC Comics, “crossover” or “event” essentially means nothing more than “bridge” these days. This remains true for “The Lazarus Contract.” This story (much like the recent “The Button,” Justice League vs Suicide Squad, Robin War, Trinity War, etc), hypes itself…
Ahhh, the fifth Wednesday of the month. Annuals season. It's a weird day as a comic book fan, because new material is still released but there isn't nearly as much of it. Considering DC has been double-shipping like crazy for the past year it's especially weird seeing only four new books released today. Funny enough,…
The unholy alliance lives on! After measuring moustaches back in Trinity #7, Ra's al Ghûl and the witch Circe take their designs against our heroes to the next level. But an unstable ally of the League waits in the shadows, and things are about to get complicated for everyone involved. Wrong story, wrong time This…
If you enjoyed the first three issues of Mother Panic, but gave up on this book when the second arc started… Then you should pick up this issue. Just trust me! For the past few months, I’ve felt nothing but dread when I would sit down to read and review Mother Panic (as well…
Believe it or not, Justice League of America didn’t make me want to rip my hair out this week! I’m not going to go so far to say that the issue is good, but the worst moments of this issue are still better than the best moments of the last few issues. There are…
