15 Years of Coverage (2010-2025)

Scott Lobdell returns to Teen Titans. That might be enough to make most of you turn tail and run. If I weren't reviewing this for you, the fair citizens of the Internet, I would likely never give this annual a look, and certainly not for $4.99. Thankfully (I guess?), I am reviewing it, so I have…
If you're a Batman fan, chances are good that you're also a Paul Dini fan. Batman: The Animated Series, Detective Comics, Rocksteady's Arkham franchise—even Harley Quinn herself—all are properties where Dini has left his mark. But even if you're coming to this book without those contextual markers, I dare you to read Dark Night: A True…
Since the beginning, I’ve found Deathstroke to be a rather enjoyable book. Under Tony S. Daniel, it was incredibly violent and depicted with quite a bit of realism, but the edge fit. This is the world’s greatest assassin after all. As the Rebirth train started coming into play, the title shifted from Daniel to James…
After the crazy antics from Harley that we had last month, I seriously didn't think it could get any funnier, but boy was I proven wrong from Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti. Typically, Boots reviews Harley Quinn, but I couldn't pass it up, when she wasn't going to be able to and asked if any other…
On the very first page, we are greeted by this comment from Suren Darga. And I have to admit, it made me laugh pretty hard. Was this meant as a meta-comment by Ray Fawkes, or am I simply reading my own feelings into it? I'm not sure, but either way, I don't understand why this…
It’s the final issue of Suicide Squad’s Most Wanted: Deadshot/ Katana, and I’m stoked to see how Buccellato wraps up Deadshot. As for Katana, if I could get away without reading or reviewing it, I would be one happy man. But alas, that didn’t happen. This month, Katana is the leading story, but since I…
Tony Bedard has done what no previous writer in the New 52 has been able to do—he's written a fun Teen Titans book. No more trying to be cool, no more placing characters we don't care about in dire situations that aren't actually dire—just a funny, happy romp that made me smile the whole time. An end…
I'm kind of in awe at the level of perfection this issue actually displays. Admittedly, it's very sparse in the action category, but that's ok with me. What it lacks in heart-pumping-adrenaline, it's more than made up for with a copious amount of exceptionally well executed character developmental scenes. More so than beating up muggers…
Considering this issue focuses on Lex Luthor, and that we already received quite a few answers concerning him in Action Comics, I felt like this book was going to be a waste of time. I was wrong! Yes, I wish this story would’ve been released prior to Action Comics, but it still works well and…
As much as I enjoyed the previous Batman '66 crossover, I never got the feeling that Solo, Kuryakin, and U.N.C.L.E. were actually a part of that world. There was some fun chemistry between the Dynamic Duo and the agents, and Hugo Strange's involvement with T.H.R.U.S.H. was fairly clever, but besides a throwaway line here or…
Batman: The Animated Series accomplished many things. Aside from spinning off several other series to create what is now known as the DC Animated Universe and serving as the introduction to Batman for an entire generation, the series also introduced quite a few ideas and characters that were so well received that they were brought into…
I really love this book. New Suicide Squad has been an absolute joy under Tim Seeley and Juan Ferreyra (look at that cover!), and I’m going to hate seeing the team leave after next month’s issue. No, really… it’s going to be so hard to give up another good thing (Midnighter). So for now, I’m…
We have come to the end of Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death and I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I do have a little bit to say about it. Just a tad bit. I'm not sure if I'm the only one that was feeling the same way about this story, but…
I NEED MORE TITANS IN MY LIFE. Yay, so who was excited for Titans: Rebirth? Just me? No? Alrighty then, let's proceed. If you've been following Titans Hunt, then you're basically all caught up for Titans: Rebirth. But if you're like me sometimes and have a crazy, busy life with drama always happening - barely…
As it turns out, there was some shifting with the issues, and we did get the Robin issue this month. So… I have no clue what that means for next month. I’m sure it will be the “Darkseid War” aftermath issue, but I still don’t think that makes much sense considering all of the Justice…
When The Dark Knight Returns was published in 1986, it helped to change the industry almost as much as it changed the title character. It's easy to look back thirty years on and almost take for granted how revolutionary it was, but for better or worse Frank Miller's magnum opus has become a seminal work…
Welcome to the review for Batman#1 by Tom King. (Or, if your keeping track, issue #766 for when this will eventually go back to the original numbers like Detective Comics just did). In the forthcoming series, King has promised to explore whether or not being a "normal" person without superpowers is really enough to save…
I have one major complaint about this issue of Injustice, and it’s a big one: it nearly made me cry. Digital Firsts No. 23 & No. 24 (“Birthday” and “Razor’s Edge”) might be the darkest Bat-centered issues in the whole of the series and anyone out there clinging to any hope of salvaging the Man…
As I was starting to write this comic book review, I kept thinking how it was a breath of fresh air reading this story from all the other ones that I have been reviewing. I feel like this comic book should be getting more attention, because the artwork is simply outstanding and this a complete…
The fourth volume of Scott Lobdell's New 52 run on Teen Titans is right in character with the volumes that precede it. Whether or not you consider that a good thing will (obviously) depend on how you felt about 1-3. He is joined this time around by an assortment of artists, with Eddy Barrows handling the majority…
