14 on Red Hood and the Outlaws #37 reviewThe Outlaws are going through some rough times, both on and off the page. The story has been so painfully misguided since its inception, taking two very human characters and one super-powered alien and have them travel through space and the depths of mysticism. They act more like wizards and starship pilots than disgruntled outlaws. …
With a new issue comes not only the slimmed-down creative team that I’ve been hoping for, but also a focused plot and a solid direction that sets the stage for the rest of World’s End. This so far one-sided war between Earth 2 and Apokolips is but a mere sham for the true machinations at…
If you bought the Jason Fabok cover (Jim Lee's is above), take a look at it. It's very misleading, however, it's creative in how it misconstrues the truth of what happens in this issue. I would liken it to a visual representation of how a rapper would use a turn of a phrase to speak…
Catwoman #37 "Sooner or Later You Will Descend" Written by Genevieve Valentine Art by Gary Brown Have I told you how much I love this new creative team? Well, let me - I love this new creative team! If you haven't checked out Catwoman since Nocenti's departure, then I strongly advise you pick up issues…
My father sometimes uses a phrase to express his excitement over something he enjoys. It's common enough (even though I've always thought it somewhat strange) but it's exactly how I felt after reading this month's issue of Batman/Superman. To use his words, I'm tickled over this issue. It employs an often-used "whodunnit" theme with the help…
This issue is part five of Robin Rises, a major story arc that's been spoiled so much and so heavily by its very own publisher that much of the curious wind filling its sails (ironically, "sells" too) is missing. I've tried staying away from a lot of internet chatter about this arc but it was impossible. Today, reading…
Last night, I was having trouble sleeping; I decided that, instead of tossing and turning in bed and wasting time, I would get up and be productive. At 2am I logged onto Comixology and read the newest issue of Batman. While the issue was unsettling enough as it was, imagine sitting at your computer, in…
I'll be honest, I read Batman #37 first this week, so anything that followed was bound to be a downgrade in both the visual and storytelling department, but I will try to be gentle towards Eternal. It doesn't help that this particular serving of Eternal wasn't all that hearty to begin with! This is one…
It has been hard to find many overarching themes between each issue of Earth 2: World’s End, with its storylines twisting and spiraling apart from one another. This week, there is the undeniable theme of family in Daniel Wilson’s story. What place does family have in the apocalypse, and how do our Wonders handle it…
Let’s all face it, this hasn’t been the most stellar of books since the focus shifted from Huntress and Powergirl to Earth 2’s Batman and Superman. Hell, this might be one of the most underwhelming titles in all the New 52 that are still around, and the last two issues were proof enough for me…
New Suicide Squad #5 "Defective" Written by Sean Ryan Art by Rob Hunter Guess what!?!? The Squad isn't in Russia anymore. They're headed to China... And everything that would explain how they got from point A to point B is essentially thrown away with a few sentences, if it's even discussed at all. This book…
Are you ready to get into the Holiday spirit or are you feeling Grinchy? Either way, let Harley Quinn help. With the usual mad mix of sweet and slightly disturbing, this month’s Holiday Special has something for both the young-at-heart and the hard-hearted. For the first time for a Harley Quinn special, this issue doesn’t…
This issue wastes no time throwing the reader into high-stakes circumstances as we see the glamorous BGirl team rampaging through Burnside after a successful robbery, flaunting their stolen goods, and harassing the locals. It’s probably a surprise to no one that the sparkly Batgirl who has joined these bad BGirls is just a Barbara lookalike--the…
Hi. Jesse here for your weekly Futures End review/recap. These days in Futures End we're getting to see all sorts of romantic story lines being addressed. What I'm viewing as Act II of the series invites us to see romantic walks in the city, couples pretending to be married, husbands avenging dead wives, girlfriends trying to get back to…
If you look at the numbers on my face, you won't find thirteen any place. Tear one off and scratch my head; what was once red is black instead. The eight of us go forth, not back, to protect our king from a foe's attack. We're five little items of an everyday sort, you'll find…
Most of you are hopefully familiar with the Hot Toys brand by now; their Dark Knight Trilogy ⅙ scale figures date back to 2008. Since then they have made three different TDK Trilogy Batman/Bruce Wayne figures, five Jokers, Scarecrow, Two-Face/Harvey Dent, Selina Kyle, Bane, Gordon in SWAT gear, and Demon Batman. Next summer they will…
Wait a minute, is that a coherent story from World’s End and Daniel Wilson? Is that par-or-better artwork from Barrows et al and World’s End? Is that a good score for World’s End in over six weeks? You bet your sweet rump it is. NOTICE: Read this AFTER reading Earth 2, as the events of…
I know nothing about Blue Beetle and Booster Gold, absolutely nothing. There is not only thing I could tell you about Booster Gold outside of whatever I learned from Justice League Unlimited, and no lies I just skip his episode on Netflix whenever I watch the series. My only exposure to Blue Beetle would be…
The creative team of Brian Buccellato and Francis Manapul return to the pages of Detective Comics, and with them comes Anarky! Actually, Anarky only makes one decidedly small appearance in this issue, and remains the mystery figure that our heroes need to uncover. The two characters that we primarily spend time with are Batman and Harvey…
Gotham Academy #3 “The Ghost in the North Hall” Written by Becky Cloonan and Brenden Feltcher Art by Karl Kerschl It’s the third installment of Gotham Academy, and we get a strong dose of adventure here! I’ve described this book as charming, fun, and a fresh take on Gotham, but this issue delivers in ways…
