  • Batman Beyond Universe #13 review

    Batman Beyond Universe #13 Written by Kyle Higgins and Alec Siegel Illustrated by Phil Hester, Craig Rousseau, and Thony Silas Inked by Eric Gapstur Colored by Guy Major and Nick Filardi Lettered by Saida Temofonte Apologies for the longer than usual credits list, but everyone who worked on this issue deserves recognition where it's due.…


  • Batwoman #34 review

    Batwoman #34 “Night of the Hunter” Written by Marc Andreyko Art by Moritat and Jeremy Haun This issue is supposed to change everything. Does it? Kind of, and we’ll get to those details later. But first, I want to discuss the cover. I love this cover! I meant to comment on how nice it is…


  • Teen Titans Go! #5 review

    Teen Titans Go! #5: "Prank'd/Mystery Box" Written by Sholly Fisch, Amy Wolfram Illustrated by Jorge Corona, Lea Hernandez Colors by Jeremy Lawson Letters by Wes Abbott Now this book is just plain fun. A bit of history: it took me awhile to get into the first Teen Titans television series. I liked the concept and…


  • Futures End #16 review

    Doing  more than barely creep forward, this issue of Futures End manages to keep my interest most of the way through. The details of past issues and the interweaving of all those dozens of characters finds a place here. You know how each issue is usually divided in five or six sections? For the past ten issues…


  • Multiversity #1 review

    Multiversity #1: “House of Heroes” Written by Grant Morrison Art by Ivan Reis Multiversity is here! Morrison is back! And there's a lot going on! A LOT! Now I'm sure most people are going to praise this book because of Morrison's reputation, the impact he's made on comics, and/or the fact that he's doing something…


  • Teen Titans #2 review

    Last issue was great in my opinion. It was fun, exciting, and fairly cohesive. What we have in this second issue is an attempt to build on the previous one with moderate success. Rocafort isn't given the material to shine like the action scenes in #1, but it looks great nonetheless. I don't want to…


  • Batman and Robin #34 review

    I can't help but think of Batman: The Animated Series when I see that Gleason cover. Next month we'll be treated to another Bruce Timm-inspired cover as well. In fact, this series as a whole has a similar feel to it that BTAS had; where, at times, it's light-hearted and at others it's very serious. It's an enduring quality.…


  • Red Hood and the Outlaws #34 review

    Red Hood and the Outlaws has had its fair share of intense battles and more somber moments, but overall has been a rather light romp through a series of space adventures and explorations into the supernatural.  Fun may not be the right word, but it certainly hasn’t had the gravitas of a Batman or the…


  • Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse #2 review

    Maybe all it takes is a change in the media form to convince me that this book still has some sort of pulse.  Perhaps I have been tricked by the pixelated convenience which is Digital First issues, or, hopefully, Infinite Crisis: Fight for the Multiverse has taken a turn towards being an acceptable book to…


  • Batman Eternal #20 review

    This story is filled with a ton of action and resolutions but at the same time something about it feels hollow.  It may just be me, but I had the feeling that none of the Heroes were allowed to have their moments to shine.  There has been a progressive build these last few issues and…


  • Sensation Comics #1 review

    If you like Wonder Woman, you’re probably super-excited about her new ground-breaking Digital First series (available as a floppy on the heels of its electronic release like other Digital First titles). Similar to Legends of the Dark Knight and Adventures of Superman, which preceded it, this will be a proving ground for new and varied…


  • Scribblenauts Unmasked: A Crisis of Imagination #8 review

    Scribblenauts Unmasked: A Crisis of Imagination #8: "The Game of Everything/The Magical Multiverse Tour" Written by Josh Elder Illustrated by Adam Archer Colors by Ian Herring Letters by Saida Temofonte I don't even know how to start this review off, so I'll just dive right in. Previously, we saw Maxwell and Lily as the sole…


  • Futures End #15 review

    There is nothing more I can say that is new/profound/exciting about this issue or this series as a whole. Perhaps if I had more of an attachment to the characters or a general feeling that I cared about what might happen, then maybe I'd be more than blasé about it, but that's just a personal…


  • Worlds' Finest #26 review

    It took a while to get back to Worlds’ Finest, but at long last, our heroines are back on Earth 2.  After five years gathering resources on Earth Prime, Huntress and Powergirl find themselves back on their home planet.  The only problem is that their world has been torn apart by the war between the…


  • Birds of Prey #34 review

    Birds of Prey #34: “Things Fall Apart” Written by Christy Marx Art by Robson Rocha Last month, Christy Marx delivered, in my opinion, the best issue of Birds of Prey that she's ever penned. I was hoping she would follow up with something as strong, or stronger, to close out the book, but she doesn't.…


  • New Suicide Squad #2 review

    New Suicide Squad #2: “Pure Insanity” Written by Sean Ryan Art by Tom Derenick Last month, DC launched the New Suicide Squad, with their updated team, unapologetic self-awareness, and a decent amount of action. My one complaint about the issue, and reservation for the title, was that they didn't do much with the characters. There…


  • Harley Quinn #9 review

    Issue No. 9: “Some Nerd Rage with your Birdcage?” explores what happens when Harley incites yet another riot in the performance space of her own building and is subsequently arrested by a cop. The cop turns out to be a creepy stalker named Ed who was teased at the end of issue No. 8, and…


  • Batman #34 review

    I am aware that a lot of you are concerned about #34 and/or the End Game story line (coming up in October)  potentially ruining events from Eternal, as End Game is set after Eternal.  As a warning, there are a couple of things that could be viewed as spoilers, but for the most part it…


  • Batman Eternal #19 review

    Personally, I've always felt that Jason delivered his most worthwhile contribution upon dying.  His death sent ripples through the DC Universe that are still felt to this day.  While I was worried that bringing him back from the dead might make the relevance of his death less impactful, I figured that if it was handled…


  • Batgirl #34 review

    After providing the voice and adventures for Batgirl since the advent of the New 52, Gail Simone officially ends her tenure with Batgirl with an issue titled (interestingly) “Crash and Burn”. It’s been a bumpy ride to be sure, but it looks like she’s found a new home with Sensation Comics writing Wonder Woman, and…
