3 on We Are Robin #12 reviewThe final issue of We Are Robin is here, and it's a sad day. Without a doubt, this has been one of the most grounded titles in the Bat-verse in recent memory. When it started out, I was a little skeptical about the first several issues; but since then, it has developed into not only…
Brenden Fletcher brings this book to a close before Rebirth as Batgirl says bye-bye to Burnside in a finale titled “Turning the Page”. So is it a page turner? Let’s talk about the art first for a change. I feel like cutting this issue some slack given we haven’t had a Batgirl book with a…
Points to the team for getting this out in two weeks to at least conclude before Rebirth, but that’s really the only thing to get excited about this by-the-numbers wrap of a pretty weak storyline about the Riddler trying to take Central City from under the Flash and the Rogues with Heat Wave as his…
After two months of Peter Tomasi's "Final Days of Superman" story, we have at last reached the end. Can the combined might of Batman, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, and two Clarks defeat the delusional Superflare? And is this really the end for the New 52's Superman? Superman #52 is an action-packed, slightly oversized answer to those very questions. A…
Do you hear that? That is the sound of readers, the world over, crying out in unison: Thank You Geoff Johns! Let me paint a picture for you. (figuratively of course. Not a Sistine Chapel rendering) Last night I went to bed, but after three short hours, I awoke and couldn't get back to sleep. …
Holy Bat-Cow.... That was A LOT! Geoff Johns epic Justice League: Darkseid War comes to a close with this oversized issue, and it's great. Yes, some people will probably complain about events that occur in this issue, or the ending overall, but I ultimately feel like the creative team should be happy with the final…
Here we are: the end of the line. The grand finale.* Some third "this is the end" cliché. The difficulty I'm having, as I have for the past few months, is reviewing this book as it is and not how I wish it would have been. Given the early spoiler that Dick would don a costume once…
When last we left our dating crime-fighting heroes, they were caught in the slippery tentacles grip of a giant octopus. Will our heroes escape the ghastly grasp of the gargantuan sea creature? Can they stop Hugo Strange before he brainwashes the whole world? Do Solo and Kuryakin get more time in the spotlight this time…
Loss is hard, there's no denying that. Even when you don't personally know someone, just being an admirer of their work makes their passing hit you on an emotional level. With the death of a talent like Darwyn Cooke, whose inimitable and immediately recognizable style brought with it a sense of hope and optimism no…
One is an extra-dimensional imp who causes no end of trouble for the Man of Steel. The other is an extra-dimensional imp who simply wants to prove he's the universe's biggest fan of the Dark Knight. They are Mr. Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite, respectively, and for better or worse they have been mainstays in the worlds…
YAY! The Titans unite together to take down Mr. Twister, who was actually doing the dirty work for a being out in the universe, but that's besides the point. The point is. It's finally over. Or is it? Gnarrk, Arsenal, and Lilith make their way to the top of the mountain where Donna, Dick, and…
Red Tool has some matrimonial intentions in “Shriek Now or Forever Hold Your Piece”, and you can bet Harley’s shrieking up a storm! As far as insane plots go, Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti give us a textbook case of how crazy you can make a scenario and still believably extract your protagonists--and they do…
I feel like we've skipped years, but it's only been a couple of weeks for these sporelings, who are now in their adulthood (but really they're only six months.) Getting back to where we left off in the previous issue, Poison Ivy is acting like an overprotective mother after saving Thorn from the experiments that…
Can Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman put a stop to Superflare's rampage-of-terror-mixed-with-occasional-acts-of-heroism? Is the Dark Knight's will stronger than Lois Lane's? Is Classic Clark squatting in a solitary fortress not built by his own hands? None of these questions are answered in Superman/Wonder Woman #29, but it is nevertheless a welcome return to the tighter focus…
If Brian Buccellato’s Injustice was a baseball game, this would be the issue in which the batter pops a fly long into the outfield with the score tied, two outs, and bases loaded. Everyone is on their feet. Everyone is holding their breath. This one ball is going to decide the game. Will it make…
Robin, Batman, Talia, and Maya in a race against time to stop Suren Darga from literally ending the world. Specifics aside, this is a story we have all seen/read a thousand times over. A group of heroes coming together in spite of their differences to save the world from a calamity it didn't even know…
Harley Quinn continues to go off with a big bang from where we left off last issue on Harley Quinn and Her Gang of Harleys. Because the members from Harley's gang all come from a different background, this comic book is exactly what we needed to bring different issues that we continue to encounter in today's society.…
Set in the larger Batman Reborn storyline, Hush Money collects a two-issue Detective-Batman crossover called Faces of Evil, as well as the first four issues of the Streets of Gotham series. What's included Faces of Evil Our tale opens on Hush, who prepares to end it all two months after trying--and failing--to take down Bruce once and for all. His plan was two-pronged:…
How would you like to read the riveting, inspirational story of a Depression-era Italian immigrant boy who emerges from the fire of his father's death stronger, wiser, and morally resolute? Before I lose my seven readers, what if I told you that the fire is not metaphorical, that it came from an actual, real-life dragon,…
AH! I actually had fun reading this comic book... for once. Lobdell has fun with this comic book by incorporating social media into JD's master plan (accompanied by the Iron Rule) to take down Red Hood and Arsenal. Mostly Arsenal though, since he's the one in the chair being beaten up with the camera on…
