7 on Justice League/Power Rangers #3 reviewOn the one hand, I think Tom Taylor is relying too much on tried-and-true formula to crank this one out. On the other hand, Tom Taylor can make tried-and-true sit up and bark. So even though there aren’t any big surprises in this, DC/Boom! Studios’ 3rd issue of the team-up of the Justice League/Mighty Morphin'…
You know how I was hoping (wishing/ praying) that Steve Orlando would deliver with Justice League of America since Hitch’s Justice League is complete crap? Yeah, well… Orlando totally failed in that mission! What in the hell did I just read? Everything about this issue feels off. The quality of Orlando’s narrative plummets.…
Black Mask: defeated. Bizarro: redeemed. Artemis? Who is she, really? Why does she roam the world in search of the elusive Bow of Ra? Red Hood and the Outlaws #8 delays her quest once more, as Jason prods the mystery of this she-bear of Bana-Mighdall and learns what makes his most sarcastic teammate click. A bar is the…
James Tynion IV started off his run on Detective Comics with "Rise of the Batmen"/The Colony storyline and followed that up with "The Victim Syndicate" arc. Both of those were fairly original concepts, but with League of Shadows, I'm starting to see some overlap with past stories. If you're at all familiar with my reviews,…
The LEGO Batman Movie has been a huge boon for fans: it's hilarious and heartfelt, poking fun at some of the sillier aspects of Batman while still celebrating the character through and through. There's something in it for every fan of the Caped Crusader to enjoy, with loving nods to the early 1940s serials all…
We can all agree that LEGO is a pretty great idea, right? Multicolored blocks of various shapes and sizes that can be used to build pretty much anything you can think of. There's something therapeutic in putting together everyone's favorite Danish building blocks, and the added bonus of sets featuring your favorite licensed characters makes…
Sideshow's latest addition to the much-celebrated Premium Format collection is Catwoman, but not just any Catwoman. Unlike our previous Premium Format review, a remarkable amalgamation of Batman's most popular comic book portrayals, this figure is quite specific. Here we have none other than Michelle Pfeiffer from "Batman Returns" and in this review we'll talk about…
A new creative team means a new direction for Detective Comics. With the exit of John Layman and Jason Fabok, Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato jump on board as the new all-star "storytellers" to begin their acclaimed run on the title. Eschewing big, bombastic threats in favor of smaller, mystery-oriented stories, Manapul and Buccellato's Icarus…
The Titans have fallen before that wretched foe. The one we all fear. The one that, inevitably, will come for us all. I'm speaking, of course, of... Code violations and exorbitant household repairs. Yes, even after saving Jump City yet again, the Titans are still susceptible to the most mundane, frustrating realities of everyday life. …
I've tried a few times to get into Valiant's tent-pole titles over the past several years. But other than an isolated issue of Ninjak or a promising mini like Savage, nothing really took. Perhaps the problem lies in being dropped into the middle of a completely foreign mythology; it was easy to start reading DC and Marvel,…
There’s so much going on in this comic. So much that my little pea brain is having a hard time keeping up with all of it. Fortunately the pace in this week’s issue of the “Nether Regions Part Two: Beware, the Tyrant is Sore” is chill enough that I think I’ve been able to take…
I don't like how King forces characters to fit into a mold they don't belong in just so he can tell the story he wants to tell. To be honest, I think it's kind of lazy. Instead of forming his stories around the characters, he comes up with a theme he wants to explore and…
Sometimes (like, oh, right now), Injustice: Ground Zero feels like it just wants so desperately to break out into a slapdash heist movie full of colorful and zany hijinks. Part of that, naturally, is the fact that Harley Quinn is narrating this tale and she’s pretty slapdash and zany and hijinky most of the time--she’s…
Have I told you about Lunch Lady Darkseid? Because I'm going to tell you about Lunch Lady Darkseid. See, Baltazar and Franco here used to have a book called Tiny Titans. It was charming and adorable. It ran for over fifty issues. It spawned a few spin-offs and miniseries. And it had Darkseid. As a…
The Justice League is divided—across time! With the help of the mysterious Molly, our heroes are when and where they need to be, but will they stop the Timeless? And can Superman and Batman trust the equally-mysterious Infinity Corporation? Justice League #16 has answers. Unexpectedly enjoyable With a book as disappointing as the Rebirth iteration of Justice League,…
Must he? I mean, we all like Nightwing, right? Does he really have to die? Alright, enough with the dad jokes. Point blank, this issue has me torn. There's quite a bit about it that I liked, and quite a bit that I didn't. What I liked about it were relationships and aspects that have…
When Gotham City is a crime-free utopia... you know something's wrong. Batman, wearing white and operating in the daylight? That just isn't right. What's going on? And why on earth is Catwoman going by the name "Cat Bird"? The fifth volume of the New 52 Detective Comics run, Gothtopia, answers those very questions, while also…
You know how I’ve been complaining about how Jurgens and team haven’t been executing issues to my expectation? You know how I’ve been commenting on some lack of logic and wasted opportunities? Yeah, well throw all of that out the window, because $#!% gets real in this issue! Going into Batman Beyond’s finale…
Amanda Waller is dead! We all know what that means in comics… No more Suicide Squad! Shut the program down, throw the team members into a proper jail, and cancel the book!... That, or Waller isn’t dead. Take your pick. If there’s one thing that I think we all need to remind ourselves,…
Just as Batman pulls together his own Justice League and gets them started with some junior league missions, a cosmic threat appears on Earth to save it! Time to call in… Wait… Save it? Did I read that correctly? (Pauses and re-checks the issue.) Yep, I read it correctly. Doctor Doom Lord Havok and…
