  • Justice League of America #2 review

    Justice League of America #2 "Power & Glory" Part 2 Written by Bryan Hitch Art by Bryan Hitch Inks by Daniel Henriques, Andrew Currie, and Bryan Hitch Colors by Alex Sinclair Last month, Bryan Hitch debuted Justice League of America, and I thought it was a rather solid start for this title. A lot happened…


  • Earth 2: Society #2 review

    Last month marked the start of a new Earth 2 series – Earth 2: Society – which I had been looking forward to once I realized that World’s End and Convergence were both disasters in the making.  Daniel Wilson has taken the reins again and looks to introduce us to a whole new world of…


  • Batman/Superman #22 review

    Well, it's finally here. The clash of the titans! Batman and Superman's meeting is finally shown in the pages of comics since their drastic changes.  They had a quick scuffle in DC's preview and Batman/Superman #21, but here the former crime fighting tag team talk it out and everything returns back to normal like nothing ever…


  • Red Hood/Arsenal #2 review

    Last month we saw the story of Jason Todd and Roy Harper get rebooted following the death of the underwhelming Red Hood and the Outlaws.  I was pleasantly surprised when the story went in the direction I was hoping for last month, with Jason and Roy taking jobs for the government in a way similar…


  • Catwoman #42 review

    Catwoman #42 “Gathered from All Sides” Written by Genevieve Valentine Art by David Messina Colors by Lee Loughridge Alright, I want to jump right into this. I’m a fan of Valentine and what she’s done with this book. She’s spent a solid amount of time rebuilding the foundation of Selina, making the character interesting and…


  • Batman #42 review

    Batman # 42 “Superheavy” Part 2 Written by Scott Snyder Pencils by Greg Capullo Inks by Danny Miki Colors by FCO Plascencia   This month I have the pleasure of reviewing Batman, and I have to say, it's slightly daunting compared to my usual titles. I mean this is freaking Batman! It carries some weight!…


  • Gotham Academy #8 review

    Gotham Academy #8: "Requiem" Written by Becky Cloonan & Brenden Fletcher Illustrated by Karl Kerschl Colors by Serge Lapointe & Michele Assarasakorn Letters by Steve Wands Greetings. It is I, not-Brandon and not-Josh. Brandon took the week off, as you may have heard, so Josh was going to review this title this week, but his…


  • All Star Section Eight #2 review

    All Star Section Eight #2: "It's Not Easy Being Green" Written by Garth Ennis Illustrated by John McCrea Colors by John Kalisz Letters by Pat Brosseau Some characters don't need to be identified with. They don't need a backstory or sympathetic motivations to be enjoyable as characters. All we need to know about the Joker is…


  • Injustice: Year Four #5 review

    If watching members of the Justice League punch each other to bloody pulp is your thing, than digital chapters 9 & 10, “Willpower” and “Mayhem” is sure to delight you. Superman and Wonder Woman have been matched for judgment by combat at the will of Zeus, who is kind of irritated at how things on…


  • Batman Beyond #2 review

    With last month’s debut of Batman Beyond, DC’s latest attempt at retconning the fan-favorite series, I had high hopes for what seemed like a series with high potential.  The first issue received mixed but positive reviews, and even with Terry McGinnis’ departure from the Batman mantle, many Batman Beyond fans seemed ready to accept Tim…


  • Midnighter #2 review

    Midnighter #2 Written by Steve Orlando Art by Alec Morgan Colors by Romulo Fajaroo Jr and Allen Passalaqua It’s our second installment of my new favorite, trash-talking, badass, Midnighter! I’ve been reading a lot of this character lately to become more familiar with him, and it’s been an enjoyable experience so far. Last month we…


  • Bizarro #2 review

    Bizarro #2: "America Part 5" Written by Heath Corson Illustrated by Gustavo Duarte Colors by Pete Pantazis Letters by Tom Napolitano Next month on Bizarro: Jimmy Olsen, long-suffering pal of Superman, has been appointed a task nobody would want: caretaker of Bizarro.  With promises of a possible book deal out of it, and the fame,…


  • TRUTH: The story so far...

    With this week's release of Action Comics #42, I figured I'd cover what's been going on with the Man of Steel in his TRUTH storyline before your regularly scheduled Batman/Superman review. I am a Batman fan all the way, but I must admit that I'm currently more interested and invested in what's going on with Superman at this current…


  • Detective Comics #42 review

    My absolute favorite thing about this issue is that they address the fact that Robobat-Bunny is not superior to the real Batman! They don't actually say it overtly in a conversation between characters, but when you think about what we are being given in the story, it is a subtle way of addressing the matter. …


  • Bat-Mite #2 review

    Bat-Mite and Hawkman go toe-to-toe, but who will be left standing after these two behemoths of the DC Universe trade blows and quips!  More importantly, is this issue actually funny?   Hmm...judging from Bat-Mite's reaction, the answer is still no. But it isn't from lack of trying.  The book keeps the gags coming our way…


  • Batman: Arkham Knight #6 review

    Batman: Arkham Knight #6: "Bane of Existence" Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Ig Guara Inked by Julio Ferreira Colored by Andrew Dalhouse Lettered by Travis Lanham NOTE: This review was written before the game was released, so there is nothing that could be seen as a spoiler to those who haven't played it…


  • Justice League 3001 #1 review

    Justice League 3001 caught me off-guard.  For the last week I’d reread every issue of Justice League 3000 in an attempt to prepare myself for the showdown between the Justice League and their evil revived counterparts in the Injustice League.  Instead, there’s a time skip that jumps forward months into the future, forcing Keith Giffen…


  • Teen Titans #9 review

    After a lengthy hiatus, the Teen Titans return to continue their story following the return of Superboy. Will Pfeifer does a terrific job with the pacing of the story, breaking up the plot between various characters and bringing it all to a culmination at the end. There are a lot of things the Titans are currently facing,…


  • Grayson #9 review

    Grayson #9: "Nemesis" Written by Tom King and Tim Seeley Illustrated by Mikel Janín Colored by Jeromy Cox Lettered by Carlos M. Mangual When I interviewed Seeley and King earlier this month, they kept referring to the preceding and forthcoming Grayson arcs as "seasons." At the time it seemed like an interesting way of looking…


  • We are Robin #1 review

    We are Robin is finally here...and it doesn't disappoint!  This first issue is filled with plenty of action, social significance, elusiveness, and two (that's right, count them) TWO cliffhangers! For those of you not familiar with the character of Duke Thomas, he was created by Scott Snyder and appeared sporadically throughout the main Batman book. …
