3 on Injustice: Year Four #7 reviewThe collected issue of Digital Firsts 13 & 14, “Strength of Hercules” and “The Old and the New” brings Shazam back to upset a tentative power balance between Superman’s cranky band of dictators and the gods themselves. Don’t expect it to last, though (nothing in Injustice ever does). Brian Buccellato had a whole lot of…
Last month we saw the rebirth/escape of the villain Livewire. This month’s “Surge Protection” gives us her origin via her YouTube-like channel (for which she also apparently did makeup tutorials--seriously). Babs calls on the assistance of both Frankie and Qadir (who has now conveniently left the University for a job with Luke Fox), to help…
Gotham by Midnight gets its own annual, which, though a bit surprising, is certainly very welcome given the overall quality of the book and the range of possibilities available to the mixed cast. Detective Drake is front and center in this tale called "The Gentleman Ghost" (should be obvious from the cover), about the return…
Do you need to read Batgirl no. 42 first? No! Feel free to skip the regular Batgirl series or save it for after: this story is definitely a stand-apart. This is the first Annual since the creative team of Tarr, Fletcher, and Stewart took over Batgirl, and it really amounts to a four-part adventure called…
Justice League: Gods and Monsters – Batman #1: "Hunger" Story by J. M. DeMatteis and Bruce Timm Written by J. M. DeMatteis Illustrated by Matthew Dow Smith Colored by Jordie Bellaire Lettered by Saida Temofonte As far as DC Animated features go, the build up to Justice League: Gods and Monsters has been pretty in…
Teen Titans Go! Digital Issue #21: "My Little Mustache" Written by Merrill Hagan Illustrated by Jeremy Lawson Lettered by Wes Abbott This... is rough. I usually at the very least enjoy this book, if for nothing more than light, frothy laughs, but this issue takes something that would maybe work as a two panel gag…
“Nobody Cares” is the title of this venture into the teeming dark underbelly of Gotham City, the irony being in the juxtaposition of a demon who makes people so apathetic they literally lay down and die vs. the Midnight Shift who, in spite of suspicion from Internal Affairs, the death of Sister Justine, and Jim…
Last month’s “Extrastellar Exploitations” in the Galaxia Del Sombrero have led to this month’s “Excess of Exes” as Harley Quinn and Power Girl are deluged with a downpour of minions sent from the evil Oreth Odeox. While “Peej” tackles the onslaught single-handedly, Harley finds herself matched in combat against a suture-happy cross between Johnny-5 and…
Black Canary is proving to be a slow burn. That may be frustrating for some, but I see much potential in the book to watch Brenden Fletcher build a foundation for this amazing DC character. Canary's current world is being fleshed out as the backdrop for whatever daunting scenarios that are bound to come her…
The arrival of Superboy has caused some mixed emotions amongst the Titans camp, but it has been a great thing story wise. All things come to a head when the Titans protecting Superboy and Manchester Black's group sent to wrangle in the Kryptonian clone come face to face. Multiple super-powered teens with flaring tempers, personal…
Teenagers fight hobos, Duke chats with the mystery benefactor of the "Robin" crew, and the gang rushes to dismantle a slew of bombs threatening the city! Will they make it in time, or is Gotham doomed? No, that wasn't a hook to get you to read this issue. We will have to wait till number…
Grayson #10: "Nemesis" Written by Tim Seeley and Tom King Illustrated by Mikel Janín Colors by Jeromy Cox Letters by Carlos M. Mangual First things first, go read Josh's interview with King and Seeley. Yes, even if you've already read it. Read it again. Those guys are a delight. ......... Alright, welcome back. Now we…
This week brings more pummeling and proclamations as Superman’s team takes on the gods in Digital First chapters 11 & 12, “Ultimatums” and “Throwdown”. Is it me or are these titles getting to be a bit too pithy? It used to be that they were at least a matched set, but lately they just seem…
Batman '66 #25: "Night of the Harlequin/Bad Men" Written by Jeff Parker and Gabe Soria Illustrated by Lukas Ketner and Ty Templeton Colored by Kelly Fitzpatrick and Tony Aviña Letters by Wes Abbott At long last, Harley Quinn is making her full Batman '66 debut. Long after her first appearance as Dr. Holly Quinn in…
It seems like a long time since the Arkham franchise gave players something satisfactory in the way of downloadable content. As great as it was, Arkham City gave players little more than a few skins for combat trials – still the best part of any of the games in my opinion – and a less…
The Gang of Harleys are already in trouble and it’s the one and only original Harley Quinn to the rescue in this continuation of last month’s storyline called “Fish Food.” If you saw Jay’s comment in the Upcoming Comics article, you know already that Amanda Conner’s cover for this issue is an homage to Action…
The momentum is picking up quickly in the Darkseid War with the release of Justice League #42. Much anticipation is in the air for this heavyweight bout, and the story progresses ahead at a strong pace. This extra bit of setup serves to build towards a big payoff further along in the arc. This issue…
Secret Six #4 "Friends in Low Places" Written by Gail Simone Art by Ken Lashley and Tom Derenick Colors by Jason Wright Man, oh man, this book is a mess right now… Simone’s writing itself isn’t bad. The story isn’t bad. But there’s clearly been a lot of meddling with this title! This issue (#4),…
As we begin to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Robin, the Boy Wonder's future is shining brighter than ever. Along with Damian's solo title, past and present Robins are receiving the limelight in upcoming titles. Harper Row, Cassandra Cain, and the spectacular Dick Grayson will feature in the recently announced Batman and Robin Eternal, which…
I'll admit, I had no clue about this book. With the main Justice League title, Justice League of America, Justice League Dark and Justice League International on the shelves, United flew quietly under my radar. After a hiatus during Convergence, the title returns looking to recruit new members for their team. Some of their newest members that will in the next coming issues…
