21 on Gotham Academy #2 reviewGotham Academy #2 "The Diary of Millie Jane Cobblepot" Written by Becky Cloonan & Brenden Fletcher Art by Karl Kerschl Last month we were introduced to an aspect of Gotham that hasn't really been explored - its youth. For the first time, we're getting a glimpse of what it's like to be a normal kid…
Happy 5th of November everyone! I hope you read or watched V for Vendetta today to celebrate. I had it playing in the background while I wrote my reviews. Speaking of which, how about this cover for Futures End #27? I saw it sitting on the shelf at the comic book shop today and thought how strange…
For me, one of the most enjoyable aspects of Eternal has been all the crazy team-ups. Eternal seems to have a knack for placing characters together that we have never seen teamed-up before and then creating engaging scenarios through the juxtaposition of those characters. The Alfred/Bane pairing is one I have been looking forward to since…
This is the kind of story I haven't seen since before the New52. It doesn't have any ulterior motives. It's not trying to get you hooked into buying some long running arc. There are no gimmicks or hype. It isn't planting the seeds for some company wide crossover event. You don't really even need to…
In a week where some top-notch quality books were released, I was pleasantly surprised to find that when all was said and done, Justice League 3000 stood as not only my favorite book of the lot, but as perhaps my favorite issue of the entire run. Last month, I was underwhelmed with the ease by…
Tiny Titans: Return to the Treehouse #6 Written by Art Baltazar and Franco Illustrated by Art Baltazar And so we begin the month of November, and the first of at least three of my books that are ending. Thankfully, this miniseries ends only to set up the return of the Tiny Titans in a future…
Print issue No. 3 collects the Digital Firsts 5 & 6, “The Coin” and “Xanadu”. If you’re still fencing-sitting about Injustice, this isn’t the place to jump in (start with Year Three issue No. 1, or, better yet, pick up the four trades leading up to Year Three first). My short summary: Superman has become…
Gotham is plunged into darkness by Ra's al Ghul, an imprisoned Batman shares a cell with a sworn enemy, a trusted ally holds a sword to Alfred Pennyworth's throat, and this is only the first episode of Beware the Batman: Dark Justice. Developed by Voices of The Blu-ray The Blu-ray itself is as bare-bones as…
It is incredibly strange for someone who does not read much of the other weekly titles that World’s End can feel so fast-paced and yet have nothing happen. There’s always a feeling that something is happening regardless of which one of the five alternating plots is consuming my attention at one particular moment, but by…
If you are like me, seeing our very own Dark Knight on the cover of Futures End makes you excited. Here's a series that's included several characters I've known very little about, so to see Batman on the cover, I was stoked. The truth, however, is that Futures End has its steady agenda in mind; it doesn't get hyped up…
Harley Quinn gets her first annual and she’s going to spend it inviting you to huff her pages in this oversized issue titled “Scratch & Snuff”. This time around Harley is on a mission to rescue her bestest friend ever from the clutches of evil scientists. The book features a guest appearance from Poison Ivy…
Deus Ex Machina is an ancient theatre term. The literal translation is god from the machine and the machine refers to a device typically used in the last act of a play in order to have a god descend from the heavens and right all the wrongs that the humans had done in order to…
Multiversity #1 "The Just" Written by Grant Morrison Art by Ben Oliver Multiversity gives us another glimpse into another universe. "The Just" focuses on a Utopian type world where super heroes are no longer needed thanks to an army of robot Supermen (as in Superman, but plural). The Superman robot army has protected the Earth…
Well, the steam had to run out some time. After a strong start, a few of the cracks in the quality of the earlier issues have become full-fledged problems. This is just my personal observation from my limited reading of Future’s End and to a greater extent Batman Eternal, but these weekly books suffer from…
What a fun and exciting read! I'm reminded of an old parable about building a house on sand and rocks. In the parable, the house built on the rock stands, whereas the one built on sand falls. Futures End has a foundation that is 25 issues deep and this house appears to be standing. This issue features…
Catwoman #35 "Comfort to the Hurt of the King" Written by: Genevieve Valentine Art by: Gary Brown God this has been a long time coming! I can't express the joy I have that Nocenti is no longer overseeing this book. I'm so glad that we have a new team, and are moving in a new…
The cover of this comic says “Gratuitous Bat-Appearance” and, seriously, that’s all you really need to know about this issue titled "Milk Run". Consequently this will be the shortest review I have ever written for this site. Because if you know as much about Infinity Man and the Forever People as I do, you basically…
An all-new Bat-series spinning off the events of Batman Eternal! Do you hop on board this crazy train or stay safely in the station and watch it pull away? Only you can decide, but I’m here to give you some things to think about before you cast your yay or nay ballot. To qualify, I…
Before last month’s interruption of the Futures End tie-in, we left Harley on the beach with the meteoric arrival of Power Girl, having been knocked to Earth from another galaxy in issue No. 10. In “Power Outage”, we pick up that thread as Harley takes advantage of the unconscious super-hero by bringing her home and…
Print issue No. 2 collects the Digital Firsts 1 & 2, “Gathering Forces” and “Spirit of Vengeance”. Constantine has collected his world’s greatest detectives and the Resistance reconvenes at the home of Jason Blood as they try, with the added help of Klarion, to discern the nature of the malevolent psychic force that is bearing…
