  • Futures End #10 review

    Are you ready for heart-pounding action? Do you want to have your eyes bulge out of your head in utter amazement? Naa, you're not here for that. You're here for the slow build. It's a detailed marathon after all. But hey, some really neat visuals take place in this issue even though it's a fairly…


  • Worlds' Finest #25 review

    It would seem that the entire World’s Finest run has built up to this one issue, with Helena and Karen returning to Earth 2 after being displaced on Earth-Prime for nearly five years.  For the full recap of what’s been happening and how I’ve personally felt about this series since the very beginning, there’s the…


  • Grayson #1 review

    It’s finally here. The next chapter in the former Boy Wonder’s life is upon us. After reading this issue and mulling over it for a while, I am fully vested in this title. It has its questionable moments, but it’s about like judging a movie based on the first ten minutes: you can’t fully appreciate…


  • Nightwing #30 review

    Nightwing #30 “Setting Son” comes to us with a certain... trepidation. We don’t have Kyle Higgins writing for us. Instead, we are given a prelude to the upcoming (out as of July 9, 2014) series Grayson, co-written by Tim Seeley and Tom King. Nightwing fans everywhere are decrying/celebrating/worrying about this move by DC. Of course…


  • Batman Eternal #14 review

    This week in Eternal we are treated to the Penguin being an absolute psychopath and boy is it intense!  No, seriously, you could cut the tension in this issue with a trick knife from a Penguin's umbrella!  After reading this, I can't say Blackgate is the right spot for him, send that boy to Arkham.…


  • Detective Comics #33 review

    I'm just being blindsided this week with surprises, first in Eternal and now, here as well.  We are faced with new information that makes us re-evaluate a lot of what has transpired up till now. This issue stays fairly strong on the detective front, once again, offering up multiple roads to the same destination as…


  • Batgirl #33 review

    Well okay now! This is more like it! “Enemies and Allies” is part two of a new arc focusing on Batgirl’s attempt to wrangle Knightfall down like an obstreperous calf in the rodeo that is Gotham. She’s got help in the form of ally Black Canary and newcomer Huntress, though it’s not all fist-bumps and…


  • Injustice: Year Two #7 review

    Tell me again why you’re not reading this series? Last week Injustice vol. 2 was released, which now puts all of Year One at your disposal. Get it, read it, and catch the heck up because if you’ve been listening to the buzz, Year Three is on the horizon and things are about to go…


  • Upcoming Comics: July 9th, 2014

    Welcome back! I hope everyone in the U.S. had a happy and safe 4th! Mine was full of sun, BBQ, and ice cream! I’m sure you noticed, but we have a new “Upcoming Comics” logo! Now, I know we all love the former image (Every time I see it, I’m convinced that it was a…


  • Birds of Prey #30 review

    Birds of Prey #30 “Soul Crisis” Written by Christy Marx Art by Robson Rocha This issue is almost nothing but action, so there isn’t too much to say. Regardles, it’s done pretty damn well! With the battle finally here, it prevents Marx from delving too far into emotions and relationships – which is definitely not…


  • Birds of Prey #29 review

    Birds of Prey #29 “The Eve of Battle” Written by Christy Marx Art by Robson Rocha Before I jump into “The Eve of Battle,” I want to briefly cover issue #28. It was a “Gothtopia” tie-in, and considering Marx didn’t even devote the whole issue to “Gothtopia,” I think it’s clear she didn’t want to…


  • Birds of Prey #27 review

    Birds of Prey #27 “Loose Ends” Written by Christy Marx Art by Daniel Sampere We’ve finally moved past the Basilisk storyline! I wasn’t a fan of Basilisk in Suicide Squad, and I definitely wasn’t a fan of it here. Unfortunately, as we move into this new arc, I feel like the book is still bogged…


  • Tiny Titans: Return to the Treehouse #2 review

    Tiny Titans: Return to the Treehouse #2 Written by Art Baltazar and Franco Illustrated by Art Baltazar This month finds the Tiny Titans venturing north to the Fortress of Solitude, and it's as charming and welcome a story as you'd expect, though not much more. To recap, last issue saw the Titans lose their treehouse…


  • Futures End #9 review

    A Caveat  There's a point when I'm walking my dog (Harvey) where he has fought me and the leash for so long that he finally gives up and just walks beside me like he should have all along. If he's lucky, he'll relinquish the pulling and tugging early on so he'll get to enjoy the…


  • Batman '66 Meets the Green Hornet #2 review

    Batman '66 Meets the Green Hornet: "The Heroes Fight Back" Written by Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman Illustrated by Ty Templeton Colors by Tony Aviña Letters by Wes Abbott Cover by Alex Ross Did you guys see We're living in exciting times, my friends. Anyway, on to the topic at hand. If you were to…


  • Batman/Superman #12 review

    I'm not gonna lie; I absolutely loved the opening arc of this series. Seeing Bruce and Clark interact with each other at two different stages of life was both intimate and funny. A lot of people didn't care for Jae Lee's artwork, however, I thought it lent the focus toward the inner monologues and made…


  • Batwing #33 review

    The latest exploits of Batwing start off strong but quickly loses its way.   A quarter of this issue is dedicated to the origin story of its villain.  While I didn't like where the story went afterwards, the setup was quite intriguing.  It set up a realistic situation that was not only believable but also sad. …


  • Batman Eternal #13 review

    If your coming to Batman Eternal #13 expecting action, or even Batman, then you have come to the wrong place.  While you won't be getting your action fix this week from Eternal you will be getting a step forward in the plot and an interesting exchange between the Gordons. Often times we are presented with…


  • Justice League 3000 #8 review

    Hi there DC, Sean here.  We need to have a serious conversation about what you’re doing with these covers for Justice League 3000.  In issue 4 you gave away that Flash would return on the cover, only to have him return pretty much on the final page.  I thought you would have changed your ways,…


  • Earth 2 #25 review

    When we last visited Earth 2, Green Lantern and Hawkgirl had initiated a daring escape for the imprisoned Flash, Superman was busy on a date with Red Tornado Lois, and the rest of the Wonders had met up with the World’s Army on Amazonia to plan their counterattack against the forces of Apokolips.  Wasting no…
