8 on Midnighter #4 reviewMidnighter #4 Written by Steve Orlando Art by Stephen Mooney Colors by Romulo Fajaroo Jr Steve Orlando, you sly devil you… Midnighter... and Dick Grayson... In towels at a sauna? Women and gay men across the world shed a tear of joy with this one. Alright, if I said I didn’t enjoy that, I’d be…
Phoning-it-in is a term in the acting business that describes a performance in which the actors don't give it their all but still complete their required part. Personally, I feel like Manapul and Buccellato were blindsided by this whole robobat thing. With that in mind, I don't truly blame them for the condition of this final arc. …
The “Enlisted” introduction continues in this second installment of DC Comics Bombshells and if you’re picking this up in print instead of keeping up with the Digital Firsts, you’re in for some surprises: both good and bad. Let’s get the unpleasant surprise out of the way first: this book is handled by not two, but…
Remember when Injustice: Gods Among Us was basically a book about Superman against Batman and the two teams (with a few rogue exceptions) were easily discerned based on who approved of Superman’s death-dealing blow to Joker after he accidentally killed Lois? Since the advent of Year Four, the lines have gotten increasingly blurry. Not only…
Let me illustrate, for like the third time this month, that I hate time-skips. Between Earth 2: Society and Justice League 3001, pretty much half of the books I review are going through some kind of time-jump vortex. I imagine there’s entire warehouses filled with the issues that were supposed to exist and offer some…
Arkham Knight: Genesis #1 Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Alisson Borges Colored by Dave McCaig Lettered by Deron Bennett Go big or go home, right? The Arkham Knight saga continues in this new six-issue miniseries, with the ever reliable Peter Tomasi maintaining scripting duties while working with the new art team of Alisson…
Justice League: Gods and Monsters #3: "Genesis" Story by J. M. DeMatteis and Bruce Timm Written by J. M. DeMatteis Illustrated by Thony Silas Colored by Tony Aviña Lettered by Saida Temofonte Or, "Where Things Get Absolutely Crazy-Bonkers." If last week was mostly action, this week is even more so, as everything gets ramped up…
Justice League of America #3 Written by Bryan Hitch Art by Bryan Hitch Inks by Daniel Henriques Colors by Alex Sinclair Justice League of America is in its third issue, and all I can say is that Bryan Hitch is getting it right! DC currently has two Justice League books in rotation that involve the…
There can never be any doubt that Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti are going to bring the great big bloated crazy each and every month with Harley Quinn. This month’s “Ship of Fools” is no exception. Pair the writers’ zaniness with Chad Hardin’s art chops and this book can’t fail to please. Unless you think…
Grayson #11: "Nemesis Part 3" Written by Tom King and Tim Seeley Illustrated by Mikel Janín Colored by Jeromy Cox Lettered by Carlos M. Mangual Grayson oozes style, much like its leading man. Each page is dripping with intrigue, the tension is always high, and each page flies by until you get to the resolution…
Defusing bombs, containing homeless riots, meeting the new Batman, and discovering the true identity of The Nest. This issue has a little bit of something for everyone, but despite so many crisscrossing narratives, it still manages to tell a cohesive story that delivers plenty of drama and tension. While this issue was solid, it bothers…
For a moment there, I thought it was going to be a week full of crazed man-hungry tigers (see Batgirl No. 43) as this installment, “The Jungle”, sports the image of a tiger among the the Midnight Shift team members in the issue opener. The tiger here is more metaphoric even though it’s literally present…
I promised I was going to try to say good things about this book this month and I’m keeping my promise, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to point out where it’s still going places that nobody should want it to go. “Tooth and Claw” is the start of an arc about tigers gobbling…
Batman '66 #26: "Poison Ivy's Deadly Kiss/Batman's Aim Must Not Miss!" Written by Jeff Parker Illustrated by Jesse Hamm Colored by Kelly Fitzpatrick Lettered by Wes Abbott This has been quite a year for villain introductions in Batman '66. From the phenomenal debut of Lord Death Man back in March, False Face's retooling as Clayface,…
Patrick Gleason delves deeper into the lore of Damian Wayne, the biological son of Batman, and heir to the Bat-throne. At least that's how he would see it. The pompous preteen progresses on his journey to right the wrongs of his past with the help of an unlikely sidekick, Maya Ducard, the daughter of an…
Teen Titans Go! Digital Issue #22: “The Family Plan” Written by Sholly Fisch Pencils & Inks by Dario Brizuela Colored by Jeremy Lawson Lettered by Wes Abbott It may just be the recent lull in quality in my regular comedy books, but this installment really surprised me. With a welcome return from Sholly Fisch, this…
Justice League: Gods and Monsters #2: "Genesis" Story by J. M. DeMatteis and Bruce Timm Written by J. M. DeMatteis Illustrated by Thony Silas Colored by Tony Aviña Lettered by Saida Temofonte Things are starting to get interesting here in the Gods and Monsters universe. Last week's debut was an enjoyable start, if somewhat slow…
The Darkseid War continues as the Anti-Monitor and Darkseid finally come face to face in this PING-tastic issue of Justice League. Using Earth as the setting for their destructive battle, the League along with Mister Miracle must act quickly to save reality. But when the gods are at war, what side do you choose? Which…
Secret Six #5 "Block Party" Written by Gail Simone Art by Dale Eaglesham and Tom Derenick Colors by Jason Wright Secret Six has been plagued with issues since its launch, and because of that, I’m sure many of you are wondering if we’ve finally moved past these problems. Well, rest assured, it looks like we…
This month’s outing, “Insurance Waivers” is another big helping of what you should by now expect from Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti, and Justin Gray. Both predictable in its rhythm and completely off-the-wall in its actual content, Harley Quinn and Power Girl is like a bag of Cheetos: utterly delightful and so very tasty irrespective of…
