3 on Batman Beyond #8 reviewYou know what I’ve been predicting for a while now? Do you remember? Yeah, well I hate to say I told you so, but… I’m beginning to notice a pattern with Batman Beyond, and that concerns me. On paper, Batman Beyond should be excellent. The stories that Jurgens is crafting are strong…
Revenge! Some of Superman's fiercest foes have joined forces to finish the Man of Steel for good. But they're missing a crucial partner, and in Action Comics #980, they're coming for Zod. SOME SPOILERS AHEAD Poorly-plotted One of my favorite aspects of Rebirth's rejiggering of Action has been the return of stories that look at various…
The last time we checked in on Amanda Waller and the Suicide Squad, General Zod was drilling into his brain with his heat vision! So what should you expect from this issue? The usual: sex and mayhem… Ok, the sex is kind of new, but the mayhem is standard fair by now. In…
Last issue, I went through the many reasons why Injustice: Ground Zero didn’t quite the hit the mark and this week I’ll add “timeliness” to that list. Digital Firsts 23 & 24 (“And Justice for All” parts 1 & 2) comes too late to offer us any real tension given we already see the new…
So Deathstroke, World's Greatest Assassin™, has super-speed now? That can't possibly be good. And possibly be good it is not, as we learn more about the Lazarus Contract, what it entails, and the lengths to which Slade will go to ensure he comes out on top in the bargain. If you've been waiting for this…
If you loved the opening salvo in this fantastic collaboration between DC and Dynamite, hopefully you’ve returned for more. If you missed out on that number one, there’s probably still time to go find it and catch up because this book is a real treat for not only Batfans, but fans of the superhero and…
SPOILER ALERT! No, not that kind of spoiler. The other kind of Spoiler. The kind that's irrationally mad at Batman and irrationally tries to be like Batman, but not exactly like Batman. Anyway, Spoiler's ahead in Detective Comics #957, and SPOILERS (the kind you'll want to avoid if you haven't read this yet) AHEAD. Not the…
This is not the first time Batman '66 has entered the Seventies. No, the Caped Crusaders actually made a few appearances in the decade following their TV series, though they're programs that may be best forgotten. There was the short-lived 1977 animated series "The New Adventures of Batman" that, while somewhat charming, was cheaply animated…
After reading the first three pages of this week’s Batgirl, I was already gearing up to write a completely excoriating review. And then...a miracle happened! Hope Larson pulled it off. The “Son of Penguin” finale proves to be no dodo. Indeed, I had been optimistic going into issue No. 10 that there was still hope…
I confess I’ve been kind of dreading this cage-match time-travel storyline since it was telegraphed months ago, but as always Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti manage to sell a premise that’s completely bonkers on the strength of Harley as a character, the relatability of her relationships with her friends and colleagues, and by working with…
If you can never get enough of Batman against Batman (or even faux-Batman), welcome to Injustice’s latest grudge-match between the caped crusader and that evil guy pretending to be him--yeah, you know the one: with all the guns and the killing and glowing red eyes. That guy who just blithely did away with Amanda Waller…
Sigh... Four weeks ago when I was writing my review for Batman #21, which was the first part of "The Button", I said this: "After waiting so long, it’s somewhat disappointing to be given so little. We don’t really learn anything we didn’t already know and no real progression occurs. Ultimately, this comic is little…
This comic is a hoot and a half! I didn't really know what to expect going into this story, but I was quite pleasantly surprised with the outcome. The first thing that I noticed was that this story has detective work in it. It seems odd to have to call this out every-time it happens…
This is a testament to how great this book is: even with a chapter that doesn't reach the highs of its predecessors, I still had more fun reading it than just about any other book out there. Such is the case with Super Sons #4, the first issue in the series that I wouldn't describe…
Coryana is an island full of mysteries and Marguerite Bennett and James Tynion IV tease out bits and pieces of the puzzle as this exotic thriller continues to play out. In this issue we particularly get a little more information about Tahani, the machete-wielding spirit of vengeance who has been haunting Kate ever since she…
A crisis on the Watchtower! Still trying to put together the pieces of their adventures with the White Mercy, Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman have no choice but to put a pin in it and save the day—in space! Trinity #9, right now! Exquisite visuals After a few issues with other artists, Trinity receives a huge bump…
Deathstroke has captured the Wallys West! Determined to harness the power of the speed force to save his long-dead son, Slade tries to use the speedsters to go back in time and make things right. But with two young super-teams missing their fastest men, it's only a matter of time before both sets of Titans come…
It's boy's night in Blüdhaven as Dick Grayson and Wally West take a night off and bro down. Given the difficulties the two have been through in their respective personal lives, what with girlfriends being kidnapped or completely forgetting they exist, the boys decide to just chill out and have a nice, relaxing evening sans…
Jessica Cruz is dead! Or, she will be if Barry and Batsy can't figure out a way to save everything. Will the Flash and the Batman succeed? Will it matter? Hard to read Before I—of necessity—tear down Justice League #21, let me say that I applaud Hitch for trying to do things a bit differently.…
Funko's Legion of Collectors is at it again, with May's Wonder Woman box. It's hard to top March's Superman, but this one gives it a good try. And if Pop!s are your thing, I think you'd be very happy with what you get. If nothing else, this has me more hyped for the film, which—in…
