0 on Catwoman #67 reviewWe’ve finally reached the penultimate chapter of “Nine Lives.” Assuming the cover text doesn’t turn you away completely, maybe you’re wondering if Tini Howard can build to a satisfying ending after so many months of setup? Well, I know I was, so let’s get right into it! This issue is a lot of fighting and…
Once, Tom Taylor's Dark Knights Of Steel introduced readers to a fantastical new interpretation of the DC Universe. Now, Jay Kristoff sets out to explore a brand new corner of that world in Dark Knights Of Steel: Allwinter! Trading in knights and mages for Vikings and sorcerers, Kristoff's epic begins with an ill-fated assassination for…
By the end of last issue, it almost seemed as if the stakes couldn't get any bigger and more absurd. That is... actually mostly true. This finale to the "Impossible" arc is a satisfying one, but also surprisingly simple after everything that led up to it. Don't get me wrong, it's still filled with magic…
Fallen Grayson part three brings us back where we began in more ways than one. In a literal sense, Dick Grayson sets out to fulfill the climb shown in #114's flash forward. However, Nightwing also retraces his steps to remember the first time he had to rise from a terrible fall. So, let's talk about…
Last month's issue of The Kryptonian Age left me saying that I wish I had more to chew on. Though don't they say you should be careful what you wish for? I guess we'll have to see if this month manages to push a more central story. Where does he get those plentiful plot threads? If…
After the success of Batman #428 Robin Lives!, DC has decided to give us a further glimmer into the world created as a result of this issue. Will the story prove to be any good? Or will the voters way back when be proven to have made the right decision? Boy Wonder-ful This issue lets…
Well, well, well, look who it is. Seriously, I thought I was the only one in the world looking forward to this comic because I was reviewing it. These massive delays between issues seriously make me question the point of releasing this comic as a “monthly” title when most people will probably discover the trade…
Bane has made his way to Dinosaur Island to claim it for himself and for other reasons unknown. But the Dynamic Duo is hot on his trail and is looking to figure out what his plans are. Damian also has another agenda: revenge for Alfred’s murder. Will this father-son trip to this prehistoric land unearth…
Following the previous solo issue, Outsiders returns to check in on Drummer, Fox, and his super-heroic son. While Kate fought against her destiny among undead cowboys, the rest of the Outsiders head to the jungle seeking theirs. Inevitably, the gang unearth another cosmic mystery, but this time they have a difficult choice ahead of them.…
Unfortunately, the word is out. Thanks to Failsafe, Braniac Queen, and her army of Amazos, Amanda Waller has won. Unexpectedly, every metahuman on earth must hide from Waller's power stealing A.I. she affectionately refers to as Task Force VII. Subsequently, this series follows that hunt for the remaining heroes and metas hoping to turn the…
Once again I find myself in a difficult position, unsure of how to introduce this book. Because really, something like The Batman and Robin Adventures Omnibus hardly needs an introduction. You know what this is. You want this. Heck, you’ve probably already picked up your own copy at this point. And the purpose of a…
New month, same dog.This month's issue of the Batman/ Scooby-Doo mysteries treads the same path as the others in this latest edition, but in what way? Stay tuned dear reader. You can’t teach a dog new tricks The gang are still in Gotham. The setup is typical of this series with not much depth or…
This is an amazing conclusion to what has been a masterful arc written by G. Willow Wilson. I can confidently say this is the best Ivy series I've ever read, and this is a fitting way to cap-off this big arc of her new origin. There’s no getting around spoilers when discussing this one so…
Juni Ba’s Boy Wonder is one of those miniseries that has unexpectedly become one of my favorite reads this year. While the intentionally childlike art style and parable-esque storytelling take a few pages to get used to, Ba has crafted a delightful exploration of the Bat family in the prestige format of DC’s Black Label.…
If anyone picked up this issue excited about it tying into the Absolute Power event, then you'll probably be disappointed. For that, you'll need to skip ahead to the backup. In fact, the main story this month is arguably a continuation of the Gotham War event more than anything else. However, rather than being about…
Last month the final pieces of Absolute Power fell into place and all that was left was for the event to truly start. Now it has, in just as bombastic a fashion as you might expect. Much planning has gone into this and DC seems to be fully committed, which I think is a good…
After a year and a half of build-up and months of preludes, DC Comics' biggest event since Dark Crisis is about to kick off. First though, a few straggling plot elements must be maneuvered into place and to do that we have Absolute Power: Ground Zero. What we have here is three short stories that…
There are probably questions regarding why there hasn’t been a review of this title for the last two months. Well, there was a huge fight over who should get to review this amazing anthology between Chris and me. In the end, we had a duel over who should get to do it — non-lethally, of…
In the ongoing game of costumed heroes and villains, most people live double lives, carefully balancing crucial information and protecting secret identities. Harley Quinn is not most people. So if the GCPD thinks they can force her to keep their secrets, they have another thing coming. Quit Buggin’ Me! This month’s Harley Quinn issue sees…
This month’s Penguin issue is a tale of two beatdowns. Luckily, the far more satisfying of the two beatdowns is the one we close things out with here in issue #11. I for one wish somebody would ask Tom King to get to the point. Tom King and Rafael De LaTorre’s twelve-issue Penguin' series has…
