5 on Trinity Special #1 review"Trinity" is DC's latest Wonder Girl/Wonder Woman successor, created by Tom King in the backups of his current Wonder Woman run. Those who have come before her tend to have a bad habit of fading into obscurity, but Trinity has a special status that sets her apart: Her name is Elizabeth Marston Prince, and she's…
This month's issue is, strangely enough, all story finales (plus the obligatory black and white short). That hasn't happened up until now due to the fact that the individual stories have different numbers of chapters, plus the breaks between Tom King's entries. When it was first announced, I thought that everything lining up in that…
With Gotham long behind him, Bruce is taken to the far off desert of Aras to heal from the Orgham assault on his mind. Talia might stand watch over his body, but this issue is a spiritual journey for Bruce more than anything else. Without being bound to any sort of literal reality, Ram V…
As usual, DC promises that every event will be "a game changer," and that the universe "won't be the same." To this end, Beast World features violent mass murder and trauma throughout that world. Most importantly, our optimistic changeling, Beast Boy, is now dead. Before the DC Universe can mourn the lost hero, they must…
This has been my favorite series, but the things I like the most haven’t been the super-powered brawls. Those are cool to look at for sure, but particularly last issue’s attempts at making Gog more interesting fell flat, as he basically read like a generic evil god, and his motivation was poorly explained. This is…
This month Catwoman is using up another of her nine lives in a decidedly more pursuit than we've yet seen: stealing radioactive black-glass corium from the heart of a melted-down nuclear plant in Markovia! So far I’ve been enjoying this arc and this issue is no different. In fact, this is the best story yet!…
Imperceptibly, Nightwing makes use of its cat meme cover and tells an actual "cat person" story. By the convenience of Beast World, Nightwing and Jon Kent team up to track down Damian when he goes missing. Although, they may need to pry him out of the hands of DC's newest "Beast Woman." Good Cop, Super…
This month Batman and Robin are working to confirm Damian’s suspicions about the identity of his principal in the aftermath of their confrontation with Man-Bat. I haven't been enjoying this series recently but maybe with a new artist things will change. Let’s not waste any time and get right into it! This is my favorite…
Tom Taylor continues to guide the Titans through their first and possibly last time leading a crisis. As the tension and collateral rises, Amanda Waller pulls the trigger at just the right time to undermine the heroes. Let's take a look! Pain, Confusion, Fear, and Loss Where the heroes have begun to run out of…
In this next fantastical issue of Kelly and Lanzing's Outsiders, Luke and Kate explore a niche pocket universe. However, before the two know it, they end up knee deep in an uncomfortable amount of parallel Batmen. Let's take a closer look! Because Why Not Following the book's episodic format, the Outsiders choose another random mystery…
The way that Chip Zdarsky has incorporated the multiversal Zur-En-Arrh concept into this story has always been problematic. While it started as a revisiting of a concept introduced by Grant Morrison in Batman R.I.P., it quickly lost the plot attempting to integrate the excessive fanservice from the big #900 anniversary issue. Suddenly, not only was…
Happy Holidays, Bat-fans! It’s been a rough past few days for me (no need to worry, just the standard Christmas travel nightmares!), so it’s nice to finally have a chance to sit down and read what has been one of my favorite comics this month! We’re doing this 4-issue miniseries in one go, but if…
My editor doesn't like it when we make predictions in our reviews. It rarely adds anything substantial to the commentary itself, and you open yourself up to looking foolish if you're wrong. I get that. That being said, I almost wish I had last review because this ending could be seen coming a mile away.…
After the excitement of last issue, the story takes a moment to decompress as the ramifications of Selina's heist unfold. She and her crew are on the run, trying to escape Gotham and find somewhere safe to take Batman. Like a lot of issues in this run, this one feels very transitional. That's not necessarily…
Titans continues its Brother Eternity storyline in the midst of the line wide Beast World event. This time, Brother Eternity attempts to salvage his plan for world domination. Consequently, the Titans must foil Brother Eternity's plans and hold the line until the beast crisis ends. Let's take a look! Royal Blood Starfire takes much of…
Tom Taylor has taken the same world-ending infections terrorizing DCeased and DC Vs. Vampires to the main universe. After stopping an alien invasion, Amanda Waller causes most nations to transform into beasts against their will. Now, it is up to the surviving heroes to undo the nightmare reality of the Beast World. Keeps The Doctor…
As is often the case with this anthology series, there are no new stories here aside from the black and white backup. I've made my stance on this wasted opportunity abundantly clear, so I won't repeat myself here. For the ongoing stories themselves, they offer the same appeal as their earlier chapters: a wide range…
It’s another issue of Off-World! Jason Aaron’s space epic left off on a rather disappointing note last issue, so I’m a little hesitant to dive back in. Ah, what the heck. Let’s do it! So, is it better? Sure is! Issue 2 makes the incredible decision to skip over most of the training it felt…
Catwoman is back this month to make use of another of her newly gained nine lives. This month she’s after Flamingo, who has holed up in Croatia and joined a “theater of death.” Can Selina make it out without losing another life? More importantly, is this issue worth reading? Well, let’s get into it! It’s…
It’s chapter 3 of “Heir to the Kingdom,” the prequel story to Waid and Ross’ Kingdom Come (1996). So far, this arc has been a lot of fun, although there has been a lot of emphasis on hero versus hero fights, which isn’t exactly my favorite story idea in superhero comics, as it’s been done…
