5 on Earth 2: Society #12 reviewThe war continues in our new Earth, as Captain Steel and Power Girl attempt to put things in order by trying to save the human race, but things don't always go according to plan. Not a fan of all the monologues we had in this issue, but at least it did get the job done. Power…
We've reached the final chapter of the Yearbook story arc, which is also the final issue of Gotham Academy. While the book is being picked up again in 4 months, consequently meaning this isn't really the end, we still need to ask whether or not this was a worthwhile ending to the first volume of…
It’s issue #52, and with this issue, Catwoman comes to a close in the New 52. This title has seen its ups and downs throughout the course of this run, with the best moments coming from Genevieve Valentine, and the worst moments coming from Anne NOcenti. In between these two runs, we’ve been graced with…
The Trinity, Lois Lane, and Superflare converge on Salinas, California and create a present crisis for the pre-Flashpoint Superman! Plus, young Jon Kent shares his secrets for making delicious pancakes--for dinner! All of this, and a little bit more, awaits you in Action Comics #52! It's starting again. Last week's Batman/Superman #32 saw Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman…
This issue collects the second half of the “Battle of Britain” from Digital Firsts 34, 35, and 36. Last time we saw Mera, Wonder Woman, Supergirl and Stargirl all convening in London as it was overrun with creepy crawlers from the Tenebrae and the depths of the ocean, including the horrifically-tentacled Kraken, sent by King…
James Tynion IV will be taking over writing duties for Detective Comics as part of DC's new Rebirth campaign coming in June. I'm most familiar with Tynion as co-scripter along with Scott Snyder for the books Batman/Batman&Robin Eternal. To me, this seems like one of the first stories where Tynion is not only out from…
I'm conflicted. On the one hand, the transformation of Arkham inmates into animals is almost overwhelmingly silly, even by the standards of both of these properties. It's not a deal breaker, but as much as I love comic book goofiness, even this is pushing it. Then again, Bane is now an elephant. Forget reading that;…
This was fine. Perfectly, utterly fine. A few chuckles, yet nothing that's overwhelmingly great or aggressively bad. Just... fine. When the Titans have their powers swapped by Mumbo Jumbo, they have to adjust to their newfound abilities so as to take the villain down. It goes about as well as you'd expect. Fridolfs has a…
Batman: Impostors, a tie-in to the Gotham City Impostors video game, spanned the four issues of Detective Comics immediately preceding Scott Snyder's celebrated Black Mirror run. Fans expecting some sort of tonal continuity between Impostors and what follows will likely be disappointed, but how does it fare on its own? Read on, my friends. What's included This volume contains Detective Comics…
This is a nice change, as Jurgens introduces us to Bruce Wayne in Batman Beyond's Wired for Death Part One. We get to see some backstory to what we've been following for the past couple of issues now; Bruce Wayne was training Terry McGinnis and for obvious reasons, giving him a hard time about it.…
What happens when the Trinity heads to China to track down a solar flare with an identity crisis? What does a Chinese Justice League look like? These questions (and more!) are answered in this week's Batman/Superman #32, as Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman continue to investigate a dangerous new threat, with Superman's impending death looming subtly…
We’re treated to another issue of Seeley & Ferreyra’s New Suicide Squad, and all I can find myself thinking is, “Are we sure there’s not a way these two can continue this book, and manage their Rebirth titles at the same time?” Because, let’s face it… That would be awesome! This arc has focused on…
Just a couple of caveats before we get into the particulars of this book: With those two things in mind, let’s see what writer Van Jensen serves up in Central City: What Has Many Stories but No Book? So the Riddler has designs on Central City, but Flash is a bit of an obstacle. He…
Here we are at the final issue of Detective Comics' run for the New52...but it doesn't feel like a final issue. This story has no time for reflection or introspection. Jim doesn't reminisce about the past or contemplate where the future might take him. This story is just straight up full-throttle action throughout. I'm actually…
We have reached the end… Midnighter’s run comes to a close with this issue, and it genuinely makes me sad. When this title was announced, my knowledge of Midnighter was strictly compiled from his appearances in Grayson. Andrew pitched the book my way to review, and I was honestly hesitant. I didn’t dislike M as…
Every week Brian Buccellato has brought his A-game to Year Five of the Injustice series, and every two weeks we get a floppy issue of the Digital First content to have and to hold. In the history of DIgital Firsts, there’s been some huge successes and some not-so-great also-rans. Even though Injustice had a wobbly…
Batman: Blink is a collection of two arcs about Lee Hyland, a man born blind who nonetheles sees more than the unimpaired. Originally appearing in Legends of the Dark Knight in 2002 and 2003, these stories focus on nobody criminals and unimaginative crimes--facts that actually work in this book's favor. What's included Inside the covers, you'll…
In a turn of events sure to shock no one at all, Wonder Girl's Aunt Cassandra reveals herself to be an evil, duplicitous villain. If you still care about this book after how poorly it's been handled, feel free to read on. If you don't (and I'm betting that's most of you), Rebirth is revamping…
The best way to describe Deathstroke, is fun and action packed! I typically refer to this title as the “summer blockbuster” because it reminds me of those big summer, action movies that are released each year. They’re usually not overtly deep, but they contain a lot of thrills and are quite entertaining. That’s pretty much…
There's nothing more exciting, than seeing the Justice League without a plan - basically, that is exactly what's happening in this issue. SO, up to now, we have established that Lady Styx has an ultimate plan of wiping out the entire planet and taking down the Justice League (obviously), but the Justice League are still…
