9 on Detective Comics #1086 reviewThe core theme last issue, and arguably the entire Intermezzo arc before that, was the idea of reconciling the different sides of one's self. Much of Bruce's internal conflict stems from how he deals with his trauma in the form of the "Batman" persona. Often this can lead to isolating himself from others (as was…
“Nine Lives” is inching closer to its conclusion as this month Catwoman and Scandal Savage attempt to put a stop to the White Glove. Will they succeed? Can this arc regain my interest before the end? Let’s see! I have to say, I was significantly more engaged with the first half of this comic than…
It’s exhausting to continually return to this comic. Vanadia takes on the Titans in this issue as the Darked Wing Queen prepares to take over, just like last issue. I’d offer a more thorough plot synopsis of Titans #12, but honestly, it would pretty much be the same description as last time. Vanadia is still…
Batman #149 wraps up just about every plot thread introduced over the course of Zdarsky's run so far. In fact, in many ways it feels like the end of a run. There's a sense of closure and looking towards the future with a brand new status quo that you often get from creators as they…
The end of Nightwing is nigh! Previously, Dick Grayson took his Pennyworth Foundation to Gotham in hopes of enticing potential donors. Regrettably, hecklers and a mysterious fire outbreak derail the event. Of course, this is all apart of the sinister designs of Nightwing's arch nemesis Heartless and his parent's killer, Tony Zucco. Let's examine the…
With a story as bizarre and cartoonish as this one, it can be easy to lose track of a sense of pathos or dramatic tension. I talked about that a bit the past few issues with their action sequences and how they sometimes lacked clearly defined stakes despite the spectacle. If all you're shooting for…
Well, I’m back. Big thank you to Jack for filling in last month. After reading that issue to catch up, I was not left with high expectations for this issue, the finale of the Shush-ManBat-Harsh arc. Still, you never know, maybe it will all come together. Let’s find out! If I had to pick one…
We’re close to the finish line, folks. Normally, this is the part of the story where all the disparate elements are brought together cohesively, and everything begins to make sense. Unfortunately, each issue of the Hill (featuring the Red Hood when they remember he’s supposed to be here) has focused on different elements each month,…
Elseworlds begin again! The imprint holds some of my favourite books. Red Rain, Holy Terror, but the most famous of them has got to be Gotham By Gaslight. Now the series has been brought back to kick off this new line of Elseworld stories. With a brand new creative team tackling the story, can it…
Once rivals, now… friends? Damian Wayne and Howard have actually become really good friends, but something is still bothering Damian: Batman is still missing. And Howard is starting to sense something is off. Will they find the Caped Crusader? And will they get to the bottom of all the series of odd crimes involving the…
Dreamer has been captured by Task Force X, and they are on their way to deliver her to Amanda Waller, as she has plans for the dream-walking heroine. Will the Squad see that they are on the wrong side of this fight and back up Dreamer? Or is there nothing stopping Amanda Waller from achieving…
Last issue, The Outsiders finally learn the truth about Jakita Wagner and her whereabouts since Planetary. Unfortunately, the revelation causes Kate to leave the team behind. Now in Outsiders #8, Batwoman will learn there may be no other place to go. Let's take a look! Solo Travel Batting In the wake of her adventure in…
Sweet Tooth is back for a third season on Netflix and it's time for the story to come to an end. When last we saw Gus/Sweet Tooth (Christian Convery), he was preparing to head to Alaska with Tommy "Big Man" Jepperd (Nonso Anozie), Becky/Bear (Stefania LaVie Owen), and Wendy Walker (Naledi Murray). Season 3 picks…
Happy Pride Month y’all! Poison Ivy is one of DC’s best queer characters in my opinion so I just wanted to start off this review by acknowledging that June is here. If you plan to celebrate please stay safe and hydrated. Okay, now that I’m done being everyone’s mom, let’s get into this review. We’re…
Parables have an almost child-like quality. The point is to communicate a moral or spiritual lesson succinctly, so they typically have a story-book cadance while still communicating deeper themes. The Boy Wonder offers a refreshing take on the Bat family using that lullaby-influenced structure. This miniseries is a breath of fresh air because of how it tells…
The universe has many constants. The sun will always rise in the morning, it will set at night, and every month, a new issue of The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries will release. This month sees the return of artist Dario Brizuela to the series, whose art featured in the first issue of the series I…
I've made no illusions about how I feel regarding this series' handling of Zur-En-Arrh as a concept. On a fundamental level, I think it misunderstands both what Grant Morrison was doing when they reintroduced the idea 15 years ago, and Batman's character as a whole. Despite that, I've tried to look past what is arguably…
In preparation for the final issue of Kill Arkham Asylum, I got familiar with Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League. With one final member of the team left to go, let's take a look at how the stories intersect. This time, we saddle up with Nanue, The King Shark! A Small Pond Although King Shark…
We’re at the halfway point of this mini, and the series is moving along at a decent clip. Bruce has become Batman and is now taking the fight back against the people behind the loss of not only his parents but also usurping his rightful legacy as an aid in their corruption. Where do we…
Change is something you very rarely see in superhero comics. It's a baked in assumption that there's a certain status quo that needs to be maintained for a rotating cast of writers to build around. Unlike creator-owned comics that tell a singular story, superheroes are more of an idea (or brand if you're feeling cynical)…
