28 on Batgirl and the Birds of Prey #6 reviewThis is going to sound strange, but nothing inspires me to write comics more than when I read a bad comic. I felt this way while reading Anne Nocenti’s Catwoman. I felt this way when reading Sean Ryan’s New Suicide Squad. And I feel this way when I read Batgirl and the Birds of Prey.…
“This reminds me of the old days.” That single line describes this issue better than anything I can possibly pull together. Titans #7 is head shoulders above any other issue in this series to date. If this is a sign of what’s to come, then we are all in for a wonderful treat! The…
I’m going to be honest, Rob Williams did not have an easy job in writing this story… assuming he was told the parameters of what he needed to write, and what he could/ couldn’t disclose by his editors. But don’t worry, this review isn’t going to be a giant excuse for the issue’s “shortcomings” simply…
Batwoman Begins is a two part story being featured in the pages of Detective Comics that will most likely lead directly into the solo Batwoman book that is starting in mid-March, preceded by a one-shot Rebirth book in February. Both this story and the subsequent Batwoman series will be written by James Tynion IV and…
The battle for Bizarro raged last month, and Jason raced back to his cave looking for the cure. Unfortunately, Black Mask followed him, and as we pick up the story in Red Hood and the Outlaws #6, everyone's favorite skeletal low-life gloats over our (apparently) defeated hero. But Jason isn't one to stop banging his…
Lord Zedd has it out for Zordon and he’s got an army of thralls to overthrow the Power Rangers’ peacekeeping on Earth, but never fear: the Justice League is here! Or there. Because teleportation is going to make this crazy crossover happen! Sound like the zany plot of a Saturday morning cartoon? Welcome to the…
A short stay in Amanda Waller's custody last week segue's directly into this week's long-awaited collision between the "Justicide Squeague" and the Wall's original band of losers. The fight is a massive one, and before it's all over, feelings will be hurt, alliances will be forged, and someone's going to need some eye drops. Justice League…
A lone, dark figure begins to come into view, still largely shrouded by the thick snow. The blistering winds whip a long, black cape back and forth. The frigid temperature, which is no doubt well below zero, likely feels even colder. This is not a place for man, this cold, dead place. Yet a man…
The Dark Knight returns to take on Mr. Bloom! With Gordon and Gotham against the wall, Bruce's blank mind is jogged by a robin and a choo-choo, and the city that never gives back gives back Batman, reborn (not to be confused with that other time Bruce died and came back). What's included? Bloom collects…
Break out your beach blankets and suntan lotion, work on your volleyball game, because it's time for spring break. I... has Garth ever been to the beach? Borscht? Ok then... And wait, it's January. Spring break is in, what, March? I don't know, I haven't had one in over a decade so I forget, but…
This issue is essentially Catwoman's last night of freedom on the town before getting sent off to the big house...being shipped up the river...submitting to the slammer...(insert your own preferred jailhouse terminology here.) What could the woman who has stolen everything that her heart desires possibly still crave? Any Batman fan worth their salt knows…
After reading Harley Quinn No. 11, this felt like the dark mirror opposite of that book in some weird way. Whereas in Harley’s solo series she was booting Mistah J out the door, here we have her leaping right into his arms (well, after a pretty violent kerfuffle, of course). Shrieking schizophrenia, folks, what a…
I'm a firm believer that every character has a good story to tell. At least, most characters have at least one good story in them. There may be some fringe characters who couldn't possibly ever work, but by and large even the goofiest of ideas can have some value. Love him or hate him, that's…
Harley and Puddin’--together again! Well, not really. I mean, they’re finally face-to-face in this issue, but only long enough squabble a bit before tentatively making plans to have it out later. Harley is rightfully outraged to have the Joker invading her space, playing with her wiener and touching her beaver (yeah, I went there: Amanda…
You've seen him speaking ominously and bleeding from his nose in the pages of Justice League vs. Suicide Squad, but now, HE GETS. HIS. OWN. BOOK. Sort of. Strap in for the wild ride that is Max Lord: Rebirth #1Justice League #12! A mama's boy runs into nobody's mama With the big fight over in JLVSS, this week,…
After mixing it up in Badhnisia, the League and the Squad found themselves frozen in place by a super-charged Killer Frost. That battle may be done, but as the good guys thaw and the bad guys rest, the really, really bad guys continue to pursue their designs against Waller and the world—leaving a trail of dead…
Batman is dead! A final showdown with the Joker in Endgame has left Gotham City without her greatest protector. But in a place where crazy new villains grow up like weeds, the powers that be must make their own symbol to stand against the evil sprouting in the shadows. What's included This volume contains Batman…
If there is one thing you can definitely say about Mother Panic, it’s that it’s in a class of its own. Take that as you will (good, bad, weird, etc), but in the Batman mythos, it stands out. For many reasons, I loved the first issue! Yes, some people referred to it as “just…
I know the solicitation teases the Joker’s return in this issue, but trust me, that’s not what you’ll be talking about when you finish this book! Batman Beyond has been hit or miss with me so far, but overall I’ve enjoyed it. Most of my disappointment has come from the fact that the quality…
Titans #5 was the first issue that I actually enjoyed from this title. There have been moments that were nice, but ultimately there were many more moments that I found grating, heavy handed, uninspired, etc. Thankfully, this issue continues where the last chapter left off in terms of quality. In fact, I’d say it manages…
