  • The Penguin #10 Review

    Since last we checked in with the talented Mr. Cobblepot, DC announced that Tom King’s “Penguin” series will come to an end after 12 issues. This doesn’t exactly come as any surprise. Given that the very first issue teases the end of the narrative, giving the book a “let’s look back and see how we…


  • Harley Quinn #40 - Review

    Last month, I called the 2024 annual the Harley Quinn Book of the Year. Though that excellent outing was the product of a guest creative team, this reviewer has strong hopes that editorial can build on that momentum. We open with Harley meeting up once again with Mr. Freeze to discuss his ongoing offers for…


  • Titans #11 Review

    Do you remember that moment in high school where the teacher announced that an exam would be graded on a curve and a collective sigh was heard around the room? That’s sort of the energy with which I’m approaching Titans at this point.  This isn’t an amazing series or issue, but I’m settling into the…


  • The Bat-Man: First Knight #3 review

    All good things must come to an end. This issue marks the end of Dan Jurgens and Mike Perkins' The Bat-Man: First Knight. As I have already said, I absolutely love this series. Can the final issue manage to tie up all the loose ends while managing to be satisfying? Let's take a look under the…


  • Nightwing #114 review

    The final arc of Tom Taylor's tenure on Nightwing has finally begun! With the Alfred Pennyworth foundation successfully saving Blüdhaven, Grayson goes for a victory lap in his hometown of Gotham. However, as Denzel Washington would tell Will Smith at the Oscars,"the devil comes for you at your highest moment." Let's examine how it all…


  • Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong #7 review

    The final battle. The last hurrah. The end of the fight between various kaiju and the Justice League is here! After a month's delay, will the last issue manage to stick some kind of landing? Let's get to it. And then there's Kong Superman is back! We start off with a little explanation on how…


  • Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #27 review

    The fight continues as imps run wild across the world. Just as last time, most of this issue is comprised of big spectacle fights that showcase the crazy powers and abilities granted by the fifth-dimensional invaders. The story immediately and clearly establishes the tone it's going for with its first page, where Bat-Mite recreates the…


  • Catwoman #65 review

     Another month down and “Nine Lives” just won’t die; apt I suppose. It started out as a strong story and bottomed out in the middle but, despite slight recovery, it has now just lost my interest. Maybe this month can pick it back up. Let’s find out! The first thing I noticed was the change up in artists. Ivan Shavrin takes over for Di Giandomenico and colors…


  • Batman and Robin and Howard #3 Review

    Tension between Damian Wayne and Howard comes to a head in part three of this repurposed series of the well-received graphic novel by Jeffrey Brown. After being in a fight with one another, the two boys are somewhat forced to be cordial and work together which might lead them to actually realizing that they might…


  • Suicide Squad: Dream Team #3 Review

    Dreamer has gone AWOL, and the reorganized Task Force X has a new objective: capture her alive by any means necessary and bring her back to Waller. Waller obviously has ulterior motives that could threaten the future of the whole planet. But in her mind, she is doing the right thing. This penultimate issue of…


  • Batman and Robin #9 Review

    Hello everyone! Jack here, filling in for William on this month’s Batman and Robin review. After studying all week to try and remember which one is Batman and which one is Robin, I think I’m finally ready to give this a shot! Batman and Robin opens with Batman captured in Man-Bat’s lair (Man-Bat swears he’s…


  • Red Hood: The Hill #4 Review

    Now that Red Hood (seemingly) cannot handle the Hill situation by himself, Bat-Daddy is here to helicopter parent his prodigal son. But is Jason going to put up with his deadbeat dad showing up to tell him who the man of the house is? Or is Bruce going to send him back to his room…


  • Batman / Dylan Dog #3 Review

    When I was about thirteen-years-old I was scouring through dusty back issue boxes in my local comic shop and happened upon the late ‘90s Batman/Judge Dredd: Die Laughing miniseries. In retrospect, it wasn’t a particularly appropriate read for such a young comics fan, but I remember feeling enchanted by the idea that a comic book…


  • Outsiders #7 review

    The cat is out of the bag! In the previous issue, Drummer reveals that she has been Jakita Wagner the entire time! Whether readers are familiar with the events of Planetary or not, Outsiders #7 takes time to illuminate the true fate of the team. Let's take a look. You've Been In My Story Since…


  • The Boy Wonder #1 Review

    Before we start chatting about this comic, I have to admit something. I've never liked Damian Wayne as a character. He's as moody and insufferable as Jason Todd without any of the qualities that make the Red Hood interesting. So when I picked up the inaugural issue of The Boy Wonder, I was skeptical.  It…


  • Poison Ivy #22 Review

    Zombies creeping through a devastated marshland. Poison Ivy undergoing a transformation showcasing a powerful new ability. Solomon Grundy hanging out with Killer Croc. These are just a few of the stellar elements that come together in Poison Ivy #22. Unfortunately, these concepts don’t get as much opportunity to shine as they should. My recap of…


  • The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #5 review

    Another month, another mystery. At least, that’s what we’ve got in the latest issue of The Batman and Scooby-Doo Mysteries! We’re going back to some Scoob and Batman roots by revisiting Jekyll, Hyde and Man-Bat! Let’s see what kind of hijinks ensue… Fred-Splaining The premise of this issue is simple but effective. To help permanently…


  • Batman #147 review

    It's starting to feel like the beginning of the end. This Zur-En-Arrh saga which has been going since the beginning of Zdarsky's run back in 2022 seems to be preparing for its grand finale. The stakes are building, the antagonists are preparing to make their final moves, and the core themes of what this was…


  • Suicide Squad: Kill Arkham Asylum #4 review

    Once again, John Layman takes us back into his Suicide Squad: Kill The Justice League prequel. This time, we follow Boomerang's disastrous escape from the Arkham Asylum riots! We all know he will survive, but lets take a closer look at how! A Side Of Bedlam Concurrent with the theme of the other three issues,…


  • DC's Spring Breakout! #1 review

    DC is at it again with another seasonal anthology, so, as usual, all of us reviewers are teaming up to cover the book and our new talent has thrown their hats into the ring as well. Let’s see what they thought! Harley Quinn & King Shark: "Field Trip" Aaron: After venting about spending birthdays in prison,…
