  • Superman: American Alien #3 review

    Superman: American Alien #3: "Parrot" Written by Max Landis Illustrated by Joëlle Jones Colored by Rico Renzi Lettered by John Workman Before we jump into this review, let's look at that cover.  I like some of the details, like the Batsymbol in the boat's wake, but take a look at the central figure, the primary…


  • Red Hood / Arsenal #8 review

    Red Hood / Arsenal #8 review Written by: Scott Lobdell Art by: Javier Fernandez Colors by: Blond   Cat's TidBits: Yes, Joker's daughter is still part of the gang and she's already causing Red Hood and Arsenal more trouble than perhaps they can handle?   Lobdell starts us off in Old City, a city where it…


  • New Suicide Squad #16 review

    New Suicide Squad # “Freedom” Written by Sean Ryan Art by Pilippe Briones Colors by Blond Thank God this day has finally come! You all know how I feel about this book, and you know how I feel about Sean Ryan. The guy seems really nice, and quite smart, but it baffles me how he…


  • Catwoman #48 review

    Catwoman #48 “Run Like Hell” Part 2 Written by Frank Tieri Art by Inaki Miranda Colors by Eva de la Cruz Last month I gave Tieri’s debut an 8.5/10, which wasn’t received too well by a few people. I’ll agree that my score may have been a little inflated because I was expecting something worse…


  • Earth 2: Society #8 review

    Earth 2: Society #8 review Written by: Dan Abnett Art by: Jorge Jimenez Colors by: Alejandro Sanchez   Cat's TidBits: Earth-2 is becoming just a little more complicated as our heroes are attempting to figure out the best way to control all the issues that have come since they terraformed the planet. So who's going to…


  • Batman/ Superman #28 review

    Batman/ Superman #28 "Universe's Finest" Written by Tom Taylor Pencils by Robson Rocha Colors by Blond Considering the past year has practically been void of stories featuring the real Batman, I find myself getting REALLY excited when we are treated to a story that actually does. Layer on the fact that Tom Taylor (Who had…


  • Batman and Robin Eternal #15 review

    Drake plays traitor, Todd plays possum, Valley pouts, and....St. Dumas makes an appearance! (kind of) Let's get to the chase.  This issue has way too much talking.  Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against an issue that has a bunch of dialogue, but if it does, I prefer it to be meaningful and coherent. …


  • Robin War #2 review

    Robin War "The Daring Young Man" Written by: Tom King Art by: Khary Randolph   Cat's TidBits: Now we finally come to the conclusion of this Robin War that has everyone at the edge waiting to see how it's going to end. And believe me, stuff goes down.   If you've been keeping up with…


  • Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #2 review

    Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #2: "Last Turtle Standing" Written by James Tynion IV Illustrated by Freddie E. Williams II Colored by Jeremy Colwell Lettered by Tom Napolitano Comic books, though often seen as a medium for children, can still be used to tackle tough subjects and answer big questions.  Watchmen is the first example that comes…


  • Gotham Academy #14 review

    This issue marks the first chapter in the Yearbook storyline, and to be honest, it's quite disappointing.  With a majority of the stories lasting no longer than 4 pages, you aren't really given too much time to enjoy the worlds you enter before it is time to move on, and in other cases, you are…


  • Starfire #8 review

    “Lovers and other Dangers” concludes Dick Grayson’s visit to Key West, but what a great cameo he has in this tightly written dense crossover compliments of Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti. If you didn’t already pick up Starfire No. 7, you should--this has been a wonderful two-part story that any comic book fan can enjoy!…


  • Batman ’66 Meets the Man From U.N.C.L.E. #2 review

    Batman ’66 Meets the Man From U.N.C.L.E. #2: “The Batman Affair: Villains in a Rush/Bruce Wayne, Agent of T.H.R.U.S.H." Written by Jeff Parker Illustrated by David Hahn Inked by Karl Kesel and David Hahn Colored by MadPencil Lettered by Wes Abbott Tone is a tricky thing.  Just as much as the look of a TV…


  • Teen Titans Go! Digital-Issue #27 review

    Teen Titans Go! Digital-Issue #27: "Upgrade, Downgrade" Written by Ivan Cohen Illustrated by Marcelo Di Chiara Colored by Franco Riesco Lettered by Wes Abbott The Titans are back, and what better way to spend some time with them than watching Beast Boy play a video game and/or watching Cyborg install a new antivirus program?!  …


  • Green Lantern #48 review

    Green Lantern #48 Written by Robert Venditti Art by Martin Coccolo & Billy Tan Colors by Tony Avina Batman makes an appearance in this month’s issue of Green Lantern, so naturally, we’re covering it! I haven’t been following this book lately, so I had to do a little catching up on this arc before getting to my…


  • Injustice: Year Five #1 review

    Could this be the final year of Injustice? We are heading into the events that immediately precede the action of the video game with Batman’s small band somewhat dispersed and dejected and the Resistance building, but failing to counter Superman’s rule. If you picked up the Year Four Annual (which you should have), you know…


  • Batman Beyond #8 review

    Batman Beyond #8 "City of Yesterday Part One" Written by: Dan Jurgens Art by: Bernard Chang Colors by: Marcelo Maiolo   Cat's TidBits: Matt McGinnis has gone missing in search of something that could be the answer to the problems in Metropolis, but the real issue is the survival of the people that fled their cities…


  • Batman and Robin Eternal #14 review

    Batman vs Scarecrow, Grayson vs Orphan, and Cassandra/Harper vs a bunch of sentinel rejects from The Matrix franchise?!?  Well, two out of three isn't bad... There are two main plot lines involved in this tale.  One takes place in the present and involves Grayson, Cassandra, and Harper trying to escape the nursery before it explodes…


  • Midnighter #8 review

    Midnighter #8 Written by Steve Orlando Art by David Messina Colors by Romulo Fajardo Jr Well... It kills me to say this... But this issue is disappointing... Last month's issue of Midnighter wrapped up the first arc rather quickly. Arguably too quickly.  I do believe that closure is just temporary though, and that the "big…


  • Detective Comics #48 review

    This is easily the best issue of Detective Comics that I've read in the last 2 years.  Even if we go beyond comparing it to previous issues from its own title, I'd still go so far as to say that it's in my top 5 pick for best in the last year as well.  What's…


  • DC Comics Bombshells #7 review

    Marguerite Bennett brings us the first installment of the 3-part “Allies” storyline (or 9-part, if you’re counting in Digital Firsts as this covers digital issues No. 19, 20, and 21). The focus for this storyline is back in Burnside/Gotham where Kate Kane’s underlings have taken it upon themselves to form up a Batfamily in defense…
