23 on Teen Titans: Rebirth #1 reviewRebirth marches on this week with Teen Titans, a franchise as much in need of a fresh start as any other. Can an updated roster and some fresh creators reinvigorate this once-storied series? Read on! Cast of characters Like many of its fellow Rebirth one-shots, Teen Titans is light on plot and heavy on character…
It's the team-up you never asked for, featuring the status quo changes that nobody wanted! In a stroke of uncannily bad fortune, Bruce Wayne has died and Superman has lost most of his power and had his secret identity exposed at what is effectively the exact same time. But what happens when the new Batman…
Here come the Monster Men! Batman #7 marks the first part of a six part story arc that is currently being presented in the pages of Batman, Nightwing, and Detective Comics. While I'd like to spend some time breaking down the story and getting into the nitty-gritty of it all, the truth of the matter…
I have probably said this before, but or sheer action entertainment value, sometimes you just can’t do better than Injustice and this week’s issue is a perfect example. Digital Firsts 35 & 36 (“The Plan” and “Suicide Mission”) combine into a single story that’s primarily an excuse to throw Deathstroke into the mix. Like we…
Harley takes gang member Bolly Quinn on an international adventure to take down the call center conglomerate in Mumbai that has been ripping off the senior citizens at “Dr. Quinzel’s” day job. This was a plot thread that was planted before “Rebirth” but then got subsumed by the Hot Dog Zombie Apocalypse that has been…
NOTE: If you haven't read Batman #7 yet, go ahead and do so before you read further. You won't be totally lost, and this issue of Nightwing stands on its own just fine, but it's best to get the full story. The Monster Men are here in the first big crossover since DC Rebirthed over…
Earthquake-makers. The Kindred. The Purge. Zodiac Crystals. Stolen power. Bryan Hitch's first Justice League story has had no shortage of ideas, yet has often come up wanting in the details. Can the final installment of "The Extinction Machines" give us a satisfying conclusion and vindicate Hitch's inaugural arc? Mild spoilers ahead. It's too easy With Clark…
How did Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman become friends? The New 52 largely yadda-yadda'd the development of their relationship, but the return of pre-Flashpoint Superman and his emergence as the only Superman in the Rebirth DC Universe provide the perfect opportunity for stories that establish and explore the chemistry of the Justice League's biggest three. A slow start…
The Dynamic Duo and those altruistic Avengers Steed and Peel finally head across the pond to London in pursuit of Ms. Gough, Lord Ffogg and Mr. Freeze in the eighth installment of Batman '66 Meets Steed and Mrs. Peel. Will our heroes uncover the villains' nefarious plot? Can they keep the White Star Diamond safe?…
He's one of Batman's oldest foes, but he was once a friend. Scarred by abuse and acid, Harvey Dent (née Kent) was once Gotham's promising young District Attorney. A criminal's retaliation rendered his face divided, but even reconstructive surgery could not repair his damaged psyche. And so over the years, Two-Face has proven to be…
Ah! Praise baby Jesus! This is much better than issue #1! If you remember, I had some unkind words for the previous issue because nothing happened. We had twelve pages of a story, and barely got a set-up, so I grew concerned that there would hardly be any plot progression with each issue moving forward.…
This review will contain major spoilers. If you haven't read it yet, it's worth every penny. Go read it, then come on back and read the review. After lots of Internet speculation, and issues of buildup, we finally learn the fate of Tim Drake. When the smoke clears, the team is left without their brightest…
It’s a new month, and a new issue! Oracle is still operating in Gotham, and Batgirl isn’t going to allow it. Considering how personal this mission is for Barbara, she’s enlisted Black Canary to help track down Oracle, which leads them right into the path of Huntress - who happens to be on her own…
Who knew I'd be this happy to get back to school? Granted, Gotham Academy hasn't been out that long, with an annual released just a few weeks ago and a... less than stellar crossover between the Detective Club and the Lumberjanes currently being published, but this feels like a return to form for the little…
This review contains major spoilers for Detective Comics #940, also released this week. You've been warned. Tim Drake is dead—or so believe the Teen Titans and any other folks connected with Red Robin. Devastated, his now-leaderless teammates take turns remembering him. And as expected, a colleague waits in the wings, apparently…
Trains! Helicopters! Deceptively handsome clones! Red Hood and the Outlaws #2 has all of that PLUS an enormous axe that comes to its owner when summoned, even if said owner is, by all accounts, unworthy. Take that, Mjölnir. Strangers on a train In this month's adventure, Jason and Artemis have the fight promised at the…
We're one month in with 288 miles to go, and I can confidently say that All-Star Batman is picking up steam. Last month's issue left me underwhelmed, as I found it to be a great concept that was dragged down by pacing issues and some questionable storytelling. Some of those issues remain, but by and…
Agent 37 returns for his third act as an agent of Spyral in Grayson Vol. 3: Nemesis. Collecting the "DC You" sneak preview, issues nine through twelve of the series proper, and Grayson Annual #2, Nemesis contains what may be the best singular run of issues over the course of the series. There's certainly a…
Supergirl makes her official Rebirth debut this week in one of the most distinct, delightful books to come out of DC's revamped line. Steve Orlando's thorough characterization and Brian Ching's striking aesthetic give Supergirl a strong start and leave me hungry for the next installment. Rebirth is a fresh start for creators, too. It's easy to spot the…
Forget about Gotham Girl, this issue was all about the villain cameos!....or at least that is the way I saw it. Going into this story, I had a preconceived notion of what I was in store for, but King completely blindsided me. And in actuality, that is something that has happened in every single Tom…
