33 on Superman #20 reviewYou have no idea how hard I had to fight myself to not open the review with "look, up in the sky..." But really, this is Superman. It feels like Superman, and all of the unabashed optimism and hope that he brings. It's impossible to look at that spread above and not think of this,…
After a rare three-week break between installments, Justice League is back. With most of the League spread out across time, Superman and Batman have no choice but to keep working with the Infinity Corporation. But with Clark weakened by red solar radiation in Tempus's lair, Bruce must find strength from an unexpected source if he hopes…
After a few read-throughs I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one. It's just so... weird. Of course, it does feature Professor Pyg as the primary antagonist, and that guy is nuts. From a narrative standpoint, though, this issue feels more like a collection of scenes and ideas than an actual narrative. Again,…
Grayson was a tricky prospect. Taking Dick Grayson, one of the oldest established characters in comics, long known as the beloved Nightwing, and turning him into a spy? That's gutsy. Fortunately, the venture paid off, as Grayson was as one of DC's best books for its entire run, and that acclaim in turn catapulted Tom…
DC Collectibles has made some fun and surprising choices with their latest wave of figures. Doing the unexpected, they've diverged from the usual friends an foes and thrown in some packaged sets inspired by both Batman Beyond and a fan-favorite 5-minute tribute to Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Returns featured in The New Batman Adventures. So while…
Justice League of America #3 is better than its previous issue, but don’t get too excited because it’s still far from great… or even good. Considering Orlando’s previous work with DC, I’m surprised at how disappointed I am with Justice League of America. Forgetting the fact that the roster of the team stretches…
Before you venture into Titans Annual #1, my only advice is don’t judge it too quickly. Some plot and characterization that feels a little forced initially, pays off by the end of the issue. So, if you pick up this book, make sure you read it entirely. Let’s talk about this story. Four members…
First off, if you’re wondering who The Banana Splits are (because I couldn’t remember them to save my life), here’s a small introduction (or reminder). Here’s the deal, this is a black or white issue. You’re either going to like it, or you won’t. I don’t foresee there being much middle ground here.…
When I was a kid, my mother encouraged us to read, but comic books were verboten in my household. I’m not sure why my mother hated them, but on the rare occasion we acquired one (usually from an aunt or friend), we had to guard it carefully. Mickey Mouse was okay, but John Carter from…
Have I ever told you how much I love Lobo? No, I haven’t. And you know why? Because I don’t. I not only don’t love him, but feel personally affronted when I have to deal with him as a guest star a comic book I would otherwise be perfectly thrilled to read. But here we…
So what's today's secret word, readers? Today's secret word is... APATHY. Now, you all remember what to do whenever anyone says the secret word, right? You... Wish you were doing something else. And scream, I guess. Dark Knight III: The Master Race debuted in November 2015. That was sixteen months ago. Since then, it has…
We're living in an age of reboots, revamps, and retreads. With countless properties being mined to draw attention to classics of yesteryear and, more likely, make what was old new again, there's scarcely a property out there that could be immune to a modern retelling. There's nothing inherently wrong with updating a property; on the…
I don’t look fondly on Jim Gordon’s stint as Batman. In fact, for the year that he claimed the mantle of Batman, I remained consistently vocal in my opposition of the decision. I felt as though it were a desperate attempt for something “different,” and I couldn’t believe Gordon, as a character, deciding to…
Yeah… Mother Panic… Uh… Well… You know, Iron Fist debuted on Netflix! Let’s just talk about that instead! Honestly, I feel as though I could copy and paste most of what wrote in my previous review for this issue. I don’t know what happened to Mother Panic, but it lost its way, and…
In this issue of Batman Beyond, Bruce babysits, Curare slices and dices, and Terry has an identity crisis. We’ve spent more than enough time returning Batman Beyond to the status quo (aka: Terry McGinnis is Batman, and Bruce Wayne is his mentor). While I won’t highly recommend the first arc, I do think…
Don’t blink! Suicide Squad #14’s “main story” flies by at light-speed, and when you realize you’ve reached the end, you’ll be upset because you’ll want more! Thankfully, the back-up is less of an actual back-up these days, and more of a character-focused aside pertaining to the events of the main story. The question is whether…
I'm going to be real here: this is pretty much Fan Service: The Comic Book. As much as this series has built to a climax, it almost takes a back seat to a near-endless stream of jokes, references, and homages. In any other comic book this might annoy me, but here? Batman and the Ninja…
Batman's army has been bested by Shiva, and one of his strongest soldiers struggles with the revelation of her connection to the deadly lady. How can Team Bats take down so mighty a foe? Find out in Detective Comics #953. Spoilers follow (but not that Spoiler, she's still on her walkabout) Pretty ordinary Detective Comics #953…
Oh my. Let’s just get straight to the point. Here are some things I really love in a comic: Who are these people and why do we care? Sarcasm aside, unless Ethan is running some kind of fertility clinic scam and these two characters are going to be swept up in some startled web of…
Is this what Batman and Wonder Woman needed? To come back to the eras of their shows? It looks that way, as this series seems to have found more confident fitting now that it's firmly back in the Sixties. With the sojourn to the Forties in the first two installments, Batman '66 Meets Wonder Woman…
