8 on Earth 2: World's End #21 reviewThe destruction of Earth 2 is at hand, and all the Wonders are fighting back against the forces of Apokolips in a last-ditch effort to save the few human beings who remain, crawling about in the dirt trying to escape the fiery inferno threatening to consume them. Sounds awesome right? Too bad so little happens.…
Featuring Origin Stories for Batgirl, Firestorm, and Poison Ivy Sandwiched between the Batgirl and Poison Ivy stories in this 10th issue of Secret Origins is an origin for Firestorm from the team of writer Dan Jurgens and artist Sean Chen. I know very little about this character (basically what I could run a search through…
You thought you were just going to get another installment of “how the gang got together” highlighting Dr. Tarr, didn’t you? Ray Fawkes and Ben Templesmith pull a fast one and overturn a whole box of toys in this issue entitled “We Fight what We Become”. No need for a mad scramble, though: everything dumped…
Catwoman #39 “Better Than He Does Himself” Written by Genevieve Valentine Art by Garry Brown Colors by Lee Loughridge Before I get into this review, I want to call attention to this cover, and how simple, yet amazing it is! I’ve found that people either love or hate Jae Lee, and if he’s not causing…
Batman '66 #20: "A Stand Up Guy" Written by Rob Williams Illustrated by Rubén Procopio Colors by Jordie Bellaire Letters by Wes Abbott What a weird issue... All the pieces are in place for a great yarn: the Joker, that cackling clown of crime, has reformed and taken on the identity of Jokerman, Gotham's new…
“Battle Royale” is sixteen adrenaline-fueled pages of Batman vs. Deathstroke and four pages of Deathstroke’s son and daughter encountering that goon named Possum from earlier in the series. But you’re not here for Possum, you’re here to read sixteen pages of Batman and Deathstroke duking it out while Harley bounces around in the background running…
Last issue promised us the showdown between the Arkham Manor murderer and the Dark Knight Detective and that’s the bulk of what we get here: Batman swooping in to put an end to the the predator haunting the manor from within its walls. This book, titled “These Walls Must Hold”, is heavy on action but…
Next month is the final chapter of EndGame, so I wanted to take a moment to reflect on where we have been, extrapolate on the future, and share some concerns. Let me start by saying, even thought I am not on board with the idea of the Joker being immortal, I have thoroughly enjoyed the…
I have to admit it: this review is nearly a week late. What makes it so bad is that it's coming at a time when Futures End is actually offering some legitimate, heavy-hitting action. There is very little in the way of "quiet moments" to be had in the pages of this issue. The story's moving --and…
Before I get into the review, there’s an observation I’d like to get out. This book is a flop. It’s not like there’s any interesting villains, cool plot points, stunning visuals, or character development in this book. Unless you are a die-hard fan of Red Hood, or just want to stare at two poorly-drawn alien…
Every time I review this book, it reminds me of that Daniel Tosh bit where he keeps the joke going and going until there’s just one person in the audience laughing. Except no one here is laughing. Dan Abnett is doing his very best with the limited story he’s given, which is thread-bare at best. …
It's starting to look like Teen Titans is finding its footing after rebirth, and begin to show signs of improvement. This is an early assumption, but this month's issue was a decent outing. Titled One Brief, Shining Moment, I can say that's just what I was hoping for--and frankly, that's exactly what I got. The creative team on…
Welcome back to what’s devolved into one of the less coherent and slowest books around – World’s End! Who would have thought so little would end up happening during the apocalypse brought about by a deific alien planet of the same name. Literally billions of people have died, and I have not cared once. That’s…
Batman/Superman #19 opens with a brief history of the capitol city of Kandor on the now eradicated planet of Krypton. The narration is provided by the book's current villain who has been making Superman's life a living hell. The quick history lesson serves well in the intro to forebode the dire situation that awaits our heroes. Greg…
We've finally reached the conclusion of the Amazo Virus arc and let's just say that it was AMAZING! Honestly, I feel like I've offered a bit too much praise in some of these reviews, but I thoroughly enjoyed this story and this was a fitting end to this arc. Johns and Fabok really found their groove…
Batman and Robin has been one of my favorite titles in DC's stable. Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason have proved through multiple arcs that they're a formidable team mirroring the duo that they create for each issue. With that being said, I was a bit sad when I learned of Tomasi's upcoming departure and the…
Batwoman #39 "Alice, Sweet Alice" Written by Marc Andreyko Pencils by Georges Jeanty Inks by Karl Story and Dexter Vines Colors by Guy Major Well... Here we are... Back to a below average product. Last month we got a break from Jeanty's mediocre-at-best art, but he's returned for full art duties this issue... It's unfortunate.…
The Multiversity: Mastermen #1 "Splendour Falls" Written by Grant Morrison Pencils by Jim Lee Inks by Scott Williams, Sandra Hope, Mark Irwin, and Jonathan Glapion Colors by Alex Sinclair and Jeromy Cox It's another installment of Morrison's Multiversity, and once again, I'm a fan. I've said this before, and I'll say it again: Morrison's storytelling…
Considering that this issue has a line of dialogue in it that sports the title of this entire series, I would have thought more time would have been devoted into making sure that this issue knocked your socks off. As it stands, it is merely acceptable. The majority of this story is spent showing the…
Long overdue, Batman: Dark Knight, Dark City has finally been collected in its first ever trade paperback. If you've never read it before, get ready for perhaps the best supernatural Batman story of all time. And don't worry, I won't give away too many details from this thrilling story filled with mystery and some of…
