37 on Batgirl #50 reviewThis plus-sized issue is 40 pages of Batgirl, but before you get too excited about that, let me just state up front that 7 of those pages are basically pin-ups, 5 of which are masquerading as pages, but really serve as weird “deathmatch” promos to set up the various fights throughout the book--in case we…
The last time we saw Midnighter, he was trapped on a plane that was getting blown up by the Suicide Squad. Actually, I take that back. The last time we saw him was in the final issue of Batman & Robin Eternal, where he was beating the snot out of some junior Orphans. But yes,…
There's always a job for Superman It's 2016, and DC's enormous Rebirth initiative looms close on the horizon. During the months of April and May, Pete Tomasi and an assortment of artists will be taking over all of the Superman titles for "Super League", an eight-part crossover event which should lead us right into Rebirth and a…
With every day, and from both sides of my intelligence, the moral and the intellectual, I thus drew steadily nearer to that truth, by whose partial discovery I have been doomed to such a dreadful shipwreck: that man is not truly one, but truly two. R.L. Stevenson, from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Hello, Harvey.…
Have they been abandoned? It's been more than two months since the release of Justice League of America #8. While Bryan Hitch has crafted an intriguing conflict with excellent characters, his DC You hit has been plagued by delays since its early days (if you remember, issue 5 was so delayed that we ended up getting a…
Batman&Robin Eternal has come to it's ultimate end, and while nothing here is unenjoyable, it's also nothing more than mediocre. For a single issues, it actually has a lot going for it. Plenty of action, further investigation into the thematic nature of the story, and a couple of genuinely unexpected surprises. Unfortunately, it also feels…
To a modern fan, Batman in the Seventies might seem unappealing. If you've been weaned on the New 52 approach to the Dark Knight, this book will likely seem almost as foreign as the famous Batman television show from the 60's. If that's you, don't be discouraged. With an open mind, I'm confident you'll come away at least entertained, and at…
The BatFamily continue to fight an uphill battle against Mother, while she attempts to convert one of their own. If that sounds familiar to you, it's because it is the exact same intro I used on last week's review. Why would I do that? Because it felt like the same comic again! We get another…
In a week filled with stories involving complete world subjugation and city wide annihilation, I can't tell you how refreshing it is to have a down to earth story tell a simple tale of gang violence that simultaneously displays genuine character development. Even without the comparisons at hand, I'd still be touting this story arc…
We’re at the halfway point of Suicide Squad’s Most Wanted! If you’re wondering what’s in store for you, it’s more of the same! Deadshot continues to tell an intriguingly dark story, while Katana babbles along like a bushido Amanda Bynes. First up out of the two stories, is Deadshot! Thank God! I didn’t realize this…
Cat's TidBits: Now that our Justice League is into hiding and trying to find ways to take down Lady Styx and the Scullions, we're having to also figure out how to deal with Eclipso. Just when I was slightly giving up on this comic book, I read this upcoming picture that I'm going to post and…
Well Harley has kicked the Joker to the curb, lost her squeeze, and is on her way back to Coney Island to get back into her overstuffed routine of managing her gang, working at the hospital, and roller-derbying to pay the bills. “A New Day, a New Fray” pretty much sums up life in the…
Cat's TidBits: Phew! Deathstroke is out to find his daughter, but can he succeed with Red Hood on his back to hurt him? And who exactly hired Red Hood to beat the hell out of Deathstroke and slow him down in the process of finding Ravager? Ah! So much action. And I'm loving every bit…
As today neared, I began to mentally prepare myself for the climax of SuperHeavy. Multiple factors were converging to make this one of the most hyped and anticipated issues in recent memory. Not only was this the finale to the 10 month long story arc that had been going on since last June. Not only…
League of Assassins. Court of the Owls. Lady Shiva vs Strix. What should have been the best martial arts fight of the year… unfortunately turns into an attempt at comedy clashed with a poorly executed act of selflessness… At this point, I’ve pretty much given up on what’s left of this book. I was really…
Can I trust you, Robin? Before Greg Pak came aboard for last month's Teen Titans #17, several readers (and reviewers, if I remember correctly) were saying that what this title needed more than anything was a break. Pull the plug for a few months (or longer), let folks get the bad taste out of their mouths,…
Creative teams change all the time. You can read a book for years and go through dozens of names on the credits page, especially in the constantly shifting world of superhero comics. Extended runs from a single team are not at all unheard of, as evidenced by the relatively uninterrupted stint (minus an issue or…
Some of the best Batman stories I've read deal with Bruce Wayne's response to failure. Whether it's the loss of a Robin, the loss of mobility, or the loss of a Robin, watching Batman come to terms with his own fallibility tends to make for good reading. Batman: Venom considers the lengths to which the…
The final installment of the “Allies and Enemies” storyline (Digital Firsts 28, 29, and 30) sees the culmination of the fight between Wonder Woman and the Baroness and a Catwoman/ Huntress / Batwoman team-up against the dark side rising (with a crucial assist from Zatanna and Constantine the Cottontail). If you’ve been following along with…
The BatFamily continue to fight an uphill battle against Mother, while she attempts to convert one of their own. We all know that the BatFamily will win in the end (that's just how comics work)....but at what cost? This is some stuff right out of Portal! If you don't know what I am talking about...shame…
