1 on Earth 2 #1 reviewFew things have so bluntly and unrelentingly punched me in the face like the first issue of Earth 2. “The Price of Victory” offers us a story we have seen numerous times before: the Parademons of Apokolips are invading a war-torn Earth, and it is up to a valiant group of the universe’s greatest heroes to…
It’s been a while since we’ve touched Red Hood and the Outlaws, so let’s do a quick recap. Jason Todd, Starfire, and Arsenal are battling Ra’s al Ghul and the League of Assassins at the climax of the arc that has followed an amnesiac Jason taking over as head of the assassins. For some reason,…
Welcome to the first issue of Justice League 3000, and if the story lives up to the premise, I have a feeling that this is going to be an awesome ride. A brief overview for those who have either not been following closely or simply have not yet heard of this title: Justice League 3000…
Batman Beyond Universe #10 Review The epic "Justice Lords Beyond" mega-crossover continues this month in what is a classic example of a middle chapter, but that doesn't make it any less effective or exciting. Justice Lords Beyond: The Ruins of Wayne and New Threads Written by Kyle Higgins Illustrated by Thony Silas Colors by Emilio…
Riddle me this...what do you get when you cross a classic super villain death trap, Gordon defying the laws of physics, fire breathing, and scenes reflecting the recent Christopher Nolan films. You get an awesome Batman comic book, that's what. Given that Batman is celebrating his 75th anniversary this year it would not be hard…
This issue is quite a shock both in it's tone and visual style. In the industry it is as common as it is uncommon for a cover artist to also contribute to the inside of an issue. While there is nothing wrong with having different artists doing different duties it can be quite a shock…
This is the first issue of Eternal that has had a misstep. Over the last ten issues eternal has introduced us to almost a dozen plots and with that many balls in the air it can be difficult to pace things properly. This issue is the first to show use that it might be crumpling…
This week in Batman Eternal we go on an investigation into the past of our main antagonist, an old rivalry heats up, and somehow a minor character survives what should have been a fatal attack from two issues ago. Oh yeah, and Batman fights ninjas!!! One of the things I am really loving about Batman…
When presenting a story to an audience there are several routes one can utilize in order to deliver it. The route I prefer is through the eyes of the main character. When applying this method to Batman it works strongest in conjunction with a mystery tale. You follow the Dark Knight as he makes his…
Batman Eternal started off strong in the first 4 issues of the series. Setting up an intriguing scenario in which a villain from the past is longing for a Gotham of the past, before the freaks took over. Carmine Falcone says, "I can still see Gotham as it has always been, what it is fighting…
Four stories, each with its own personality in both narrative and art. Let’s dive right in! These guys are also fun, if featured only briefly in the 1st story “The Beautiful Ugly” By Derek Fridolfs & Kenneth Elliott Jones; art & cover by Jason Shawn Alexander Featuring Two-Face/Harvey Dent and the Penguin This story takes…
“Deadline Part One: The Razors Under the Floorboards” Batgirl has been a bit all over the place lately. And I’m not referring to Barbara’s ongoing conflict over her relationship with the crime-fighting Bat Family, her love-life, or the trauma of her incarcerated father. I’m talking about the book itself, which appears to be suffering from…
“Nocturnal Omission” Poison Ivy has come back to Coney Island on a tip from Sy Borgman (of all people) as to how they might discover the identity of the person who has placed a hit on Harley. This hit has precipitated half a dozen assassins to come after her so far and the bounty keeps…
“Better Nuthead than Red” Issue number 6 closes out a story spanning the last three issues which teams the Mistress of Mischief with octogenarian cold war spy Sy Borgman (codename: Syborg) against such deadly aged Russian femme fatales as Ivana Brekemoff and Zena Bendemova. And if you’re already rolling your eyes, maybe this isn’t the…
In my eyes Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato have captured the quintessential Dark Knight for the New52. Seeing as how Detective Comics bears the name of the entire publisher empire that is DC Comics I have often wondered why it wasn't given more attention by the editors running DC. It's no secret that the Batman…
Print issue No. 5 collects the Digital Firsts 9 & 10, “The Road to War” and “The First Battle”. There’s been a lot of ramp up to this point with what has felt like a lot of exposition, but this is the moment in which the payoff starts pulling into the station and we get…
Yes, you read that right. Forever Evil finally came to a close today after suffering numerous delays that made it a pretty miserable reading experience for folks who frequent the local comic shop, but I think the trade-wait crowd should enjoy what Geoff Johns and David Finch crafted here. Overall, Forever Evil is a fun…
In the wake of a hero's death, Futures End deals much with the theme of responsibility and those who choose to run from it. While last week's installment focused primarily on the funeral for (and I'm going to spoil it here so if you don't want to know then I suggest... you... leave... now...) Green…
NOTE: I'm going to spoil the final page of the previous issue, there's no way around it. If you plan on reading issue #1, turn back now. So the last issue ended with Firestorm showing up too late to save Green Arrow and now all of our heroes must attend the funeral. I say all,…
Alysia, Barbara's roommate, is raiding a corporate building with a small group of activists when they are accosted by the villain known as Ragdoll. Meanwhile, Barbara Gordon is summoned to the hospital by her kind-of/sort-of boyfriend Ricky, who may be looking to break-up with Barbara. This issue sees the return of Gail Simone to writing…
