1 on Knight Terrors #2 reviewWe're just about a month into the Knight Terrors event, and it's already starting to feel drawn-out. The main plot, by necessity, needs to last the entire two months, but maybe filling that time with four main series issues plus a prologue and epilogue was too ambitious. Like I said in Knight Terrors: First Blood,…
Last issue my main point of praise came from the story’s ability to manage three simultaneous plots seamlessly but boy have we lost that here! The chase is still on but it feels so hamfisted as Bryce and Jackie get caught up in the chaos. I’m really not liking this offshoot of Batman White Knight…
We’ve reached the halfway point of this Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month title and though it started strong and still has a lot of good things going for it, it’s beginning to become frustrating as well. Why is that? Well, let’s get into it. Last month, the plot elements from issue one developed…
Knight Terrors: Catwoman #1 is a successful addition to the Knight Terrors event that is a strong read even on its own. Tini Howard’s script does an excellent job creating a strange, yet uncannily familiar world that feels equal parts nightmarish and optimistic. Selina’s role in the story is nuanced and expands upon her self-doubts…
We’ve reached the final chapter of the “Elementary” arc. Newmazo has taken control and it takes the combined force of the JLA to stop him. Last month’s issue, while still good, was action-heavy and somewhat overcrowded with too many super-powered heroes. The creative team has to be careful to not overdo it for the finale,…
Knight Terrors: Nightwing #1 is a stylish, yet simplistic exploration of Dick Grayson’s psyche as he confronts the possibility of being a murderer. The set up allows Daniele Di Nicuolo’s art to shine, but Becky Cloonan’s and Michael W. Conrad’s script offers no surprises or compelling insight into the title character. Right from the start,…
A mysterious new villain named Insomnia puts the entire world to sleep to search the minds of the DC Universe. The likes of Batman, The Joker, and Black Adam fall fast asleep against their will. Nonetheless, Punchline seemingly finds herself wide awake and nightmare free! In Your Dreams No matter what's going on in the…
What’s this? Another Harley Quinn book? I guess DC will just never get the message that the character is too over-exposed in comics. This is her third series running this month, with absolutely no good sales data to back it up! The first Black, White, and Red series actually provided some of the better stories…
The World's Finest brand is quickly turning into Mark Waid's vehicle for exploring DC's Silver and early Bronze Age. It's a time that's often ignored in between the "origin story" days of the Golden Age and the later years when things started getting more serious. Waid's approach to the concept has been to honor the…
Knight Terrors: Robin features Tim Drake and Jason Todd as they –like the rest of the world– have been thrust into their worst nightmares. In this dream, at least they have each other...well kind of. I’m not sure what I was really expecting to get out of this issue. It’s fine, it’s not poorly written…
Batman and Scooby-Doo needed a win after last month’s fiasco. Personally, I desperately needed this series to wash the sour taste out of my mouth. So, does issue 10 fulfill that need? Let’s see! In short, this issue is “not bad.” There aren’t major flaws in this story and this isn’t a case of death…
Batman Incorporated must race against time to stop Joker's new team before they hurt themselves and others. Even so, can the team accept that the only way to stop them is to kill them? Let's find out. The Only Option Batman's refusal to kill criminals is his most repetitive criticism. For personal reasons, Batman doesn't…
I have two pieces of good news. The first piece is that this is the second to the last issue of this truly terrible series. The other bit of good news is that this issue isn't nearly as bad as the last two. It’s still pretty bad though. EVERY CHARACTER IS AWFUL! Obviously, this issue…
Spirit World #3 continues the adventures of Xanthe, Batgirl, and Constantine together in limbo. Unfortunately, the very concept of reuniting this early stalls out the original story engine. As a result, it is up to writer Alyssa Wong to rebuild this story piece by piece! And It Feels So Good, Right? Instead of letting the…
For those of you just joining us, Knight Terrors #1 is the second issue of the main Knight Terrors event. If that's confusing to you, that's because the first issue was actually Knight Terrors: First Blood #1. Don't worry, this series will eventually finish off with Knight Terrors: Night's End #1 so that there will…
Reading through this Joker series has been a slog so far. The one thing that has been keeping me going is this Knight Terrors book. Why? Because the idea 0f the Joker’s worst nightmare being a 9-5 desk job sounds brilliant! But how does Rosenberg execute this idea? I had high expectations for this book.…
I could spend this entire opening paragraph ranting about event fatigue, and how tired I am of crossovers. But if there’s one thing that I’m even more tired of, it’s the death of the Waynes in Crime Alley, and you can count on DC deciding to use that tired trope yet again in an event…
A mysterious and deadly new villain named Insomnia forces the world into eternal slumber as he searches their dreams. Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and others must face their nightmares to combat this foe before he gets what he wants! Meanwhile, Knight Terrors: Black Adam #1 pits Insomnia against the king of Kahndaq. Of course, Black…
In today’s issue of Poison Ivy, Ivy wakes up in a world where everything is colored in bright pastels. She’s in a neatly manicured neighborhood where all the Batman heroes and villains live in harmony together. She and Harley own a nice house in this neighborhood. Their neighbors are Batman and Selina Kyle, who are…
Knight Terrors is finally upon us, and it all starts here with Knight Terrors: First Blood #1. This event will take over almost every DC Comics title through July and August, so what is it exactly that we'll all be reading for two months? Well, in short, nightmares. I know, you're all shocked. It's a…
