0 on Secret Six #13 reviewSecret Six inches closer to its final issue, and with that comes the tying up of a lot of loose ends… and considering this title has consistently had issues with pacing, tone, and purpose (all of which were on top of numerous delays), I’m far from excited to tie up loose ends. Last month I…
I’ve gotten to the point where I dread reviewing Suicide Squad’s Most Wanted because Katana has been so bad. This reality is even more painful for me considering how much of a soft spot I have for her as a character, and I would honestly rather this book not exist, than be forced to sit…
The Gun... "Easy to get, easier to use. The problem with easy is always the same. You have no respect for it. You don't have to fight to earn it. Any superstitious coward can believe in its power. Stand on its shoulders and feel tall. But only the courageous stand in front of it defiant. …
Superman vs Superman! Wonder Woman vs Superman! Superman vs Ulysses (who?!?!)! Steve Trevor vs the same whiny jealousy he's battled since the start of The New 52! Do you love me, Clark? Last week, Clark passed the mantle of Lord Protector to his cousin Kara (Supergirl, for those who didn't know that--I know you're out there),…
Behold: a really good issue of Black Canary! If you've been reading my reviews, you may think that I love to hate this book, but that couldn't be further from the truth. It gives me nothing but joy to sing its praises now that we have a solid installment. A master martial artist and a ninja…
As much as I attempt to avoid it, there's really not much to discuss this month without going into spoiler territory, so I'll be speaking freely about the various events of this issue. If you want to go in completely fresh, go ahead and stop reading... ...now. I was discussing odds and ends with one…
Sound the alarms! Ring the bells! I’ve broken my rule for a second time, and I’ve given a book a perfect score! (In case you’re wondering, the previous instance was The Multiversity: Pax Americana.) Now you might be asking yourself, “What’s his rule?” My “rule” is that I don’t give books a score of 0…
This month’s issue features a sad Babs on the cover with her costume in the trash bin in perhaps what feels like an appropriate commentary on the whole redirection of this comic, but I’m going to back off from that remark because it’s pretty harsh and, well, even if this book has deserved some of…
This comic was an absolute joy! As the story unfolds, we are treated to dozens of callbacks to Snyder's previous work on the Batman title over the last 4 and a half years. If you're a hardcore fan, these echos of past stories aren't hard to recognize, at the same time, care has been taken…
Look, I know how great Tom King and Tim Seeley are. They took a high concept idea that probably shouldn't have worked and turned it into one of the best new comics in years, thanks to both spot-on characterization and a deft hand with some of DC's weirder ideas. Grayson, right from the beginning, has…
If you haven’t been reading Harley Quinn for some staggeringly inconceivable reason, this issue might be the one to make you a regular reader. Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti pull off some of their boldest, most insane antics as Harley meets the unambiguously red and black Deadpool analog Red Tool! Last issue we were left…
Think of Batman's greatest villains and who comes to mind? No doubt the Joker is there at the top, along with the Riddler, Catwoman, Penguin, Two-Face, Ra's Al Ghul, Scarecrow, and Poison Ivy as the A-list, with room even for the likes of Killer Croc, Mr. Freeze, Clayface, Mad Hatter, and KGBeast Ventriloquist to round it…
Heart of Hush marks the return of Bruce Wayne's childhood-friend-turned-calculating-murderous-pyscopath Tommy Elliot to Gotham (again). Still filled with hatred (and jealousy) for his former pal, Hush enlists the help of an old mentor and enacts a plan to hit the Dark Knight where it hurts the most. Beware the man who can strike from a…
Danger continues to cross the Teen Titans, as they have finally gone face-to-face with Mr. Twister brought on by Herald’s lullaby. Before that continues, Lilith drops a bomb that she hired the organization Diablo to come help them out, without realizing that they were going to end up as targets. Honeybun and Ding-Dong Daddy are…
Harley Quinn gets to play Ghostbusters with Zatanna in Harley’s latest Black Book adventure courtesy of Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti, with new Harley Quinn artist Joseph Michael Linsner on art duties and colors shopped out to Hi-Fi. “Dispirited Spirits” is a pretty densely packed oversized issue that combines the fun tropes of the ghost…
Facing his impending death, Superman looks to his cousin, Kara Zor-El, to fill the void he is sure to leave once he's gone. But as Supergirl comes to terms with this enormous responsibility, the mysterious new super-man attempts to fill that void himself. Forgive me for thinking you needed saving. Action Comics #51 begins (approximately) where…
Who better to help Poison Ivy solve the mystery murders behind Botanical Gardens Lab, other than Catwoman? We left off our last issue with Darshan finding out Dr. Pamela Isley's real identity and now encountering Catwoman as one of her best friends. By this point, we still have no idea who has been murdering Luisa…
Batman is in this comic! Opening to the first page and seeing Batman and Flash took me completely by surprise. Usually when a major character appears in another character's comic, DC likes to shout it from the mountain tops. But this time, there was no mention at all in the solicits. Either they were actually…
Last week I kvetched about Marguerite Bennett’s Batwoman in DC Bombshells, but this week Brian Buccellato brings Injustice’s Batwoman to the fore in a big way in this issue titled “Revolutionary” (Digital Firsts No.15 & No. 16 parts 1 & 2). This is a significantly heavy Batfamily issue and there’s plenty to please the Batman…
Oof, what a weird installment. Usually, I'm pretty easy on this title, as it's pretty much what you expect it to be: a silly tie-in to a TV show, sold for less than a buck to provide at least passable entertainment for children and parents to enjoy together. There have occasionally been some genuine gems to come…
