6 on The Riddler: Year One #5 reviewHm. Hm. Honestly, I could end my review right there. There's something to say about a comic that makes you furrow your brow in thought: maybe it doesn't leave an overly positive or negative impact, but it leaves an impression all the same. Is that the metric of a well-crafted comic? Something you can appreciate,…
The Dark Knight had a viral marketing campaign unlike anything before. It was called Why So Serious? and it ignited a fervor in our fan community that hasn't been matched since. The immersive experience didn't just hype up the movie or "put you into the world of the movie," no, it literally brought the movie…
We’re here at the finale of this underwhelming series. It got canceled before it ever really picked up and in my eyes will have had a pretty negative legacy for the character of Tim Drake. Personally I will always associate it with the pinkwashing of police officers through the character Detective Williams who thankfully never…
This month’s Detective Comics follows directly on the heels of the previous issue. In it, Batman continues his battle with Arzen and the rest of his team must deal with the fallout of the explosion that rocked the Orgham’s grand opening. One of the elements I wanted from this issue was for the momentum to…
Tini Howard’s Harley Quinn run is…mediocre. I've read Harley Screws Up the DCU, so Tini's writing of Harley is almost refreshing in a sense. This issue in particular is probably the most decent I’ve read so far. That's mainly because it’s just mostly innocent dialogue between characters setting up where the story is at now…
This month's cover happens to be the one used in the series' initial announcement (though mislabeled as a variant for issue #1 at the time) back when we knew next to nothing about it. The history of the title, as well as the silver age costumes worn by the chess pieces on the board had…
With Straightman and Task Force X behind us, Batman: The Adventures Continue Season 3 begins new arc focusing on the al Ghuls and a changed Gotham City. More than the final story for the miniseries and even Batman: The Adventures Continue as a whole, it's almost framed like a finale for the universe all together.…
Batgirls enters its final issue this month as it wraps up a short arc focused on The Hill, the people within, and the Batgirls place in all of it. As the series comes to close, it strives to tie together themes and ideas from the series, as well as the arc itself. Let’s take a…
The Vigil is back this month for more mystery and intrigue! I thought the first issue was a pretty solid start but felt a little lacking in characterization for the team. Can part two remedy this problem while maintaining what was already working? Let’s see! I did enjoy this issue. Unfortunately, it also makes what…
The chase is on! Every story needles the thread of Joker’s past as his children crash into the future setting of Batman Beyond the White Knight. I’ve already expressed my concerns about the target audience of this mini-series not really getting the same level of complex art and storytelling as Sean Murphy’s previous Batman comics.…
The true threat of this arc, Newmazo, has been revealed. AI has turned hostile and our heroes have to work together to save the day. This arc has been very action-packed so far, as well as probably the biggest arc yet, since it involves the wider DC Universe and doesn’t just revolve around Batman and…
Catwoman #56 features high stakes action and a clearer sense of purpose than the series has had in recent memory. Marcus To and Marco Santucci split art duties this time around, and while both are competent, the switch up in style for the finale of this arc is a bit of a shame. The first…
Nightwing #105 features art completely from Nightwing’s first person point of view, creating an interesting but debatably distracting, visual experience. Tom Taylor’s script is solid, but Bruno Redondo’s pencils display the pros and cons of dedicating an entire issue to a single visual perspective, no matter how fun the novelty appears at first glance. The…
The Titans face nonstop challenges within the first twenty-four hours of officially stepping up as Earth's newest defenders! As the heroes struggle to measure up, several mysteries await them, including a shocking death in the family. The New Teen Titans Who are the "Teen Titans?" Depending on who you ask, several iterations may come to…
I had mixed expectations going into this issue. On one hand, it’s written by Matthew Cody, who previously wrote my favorite issue of this series. On the other, it’s drawn by Scott Jeralds, who I was less than impressed by when he drew issue four. Well, my expectations were subverted on both counts. This issue…
Batman Incorporated are now the unlikely targets of the Joker! Envious of Batman's international crusade, Joker deploys his counter squad to threaten, kill, and torture people all across the globe. As a result, Batman Inc splits up to desperately combat Joker's homicidal new allies. 9-1-1 First and foremost, Ed Brisson clarifies a few new details…
Spirit World #2 returns to explore the background of its lead character of Xanthe Zhou. When we last left off, Xanthe was on their way to rescue Cassandra Cain from the Spirit World. Now, our hero has to answer to someone from Xanthe's past. Breaking Your Mother's Heart When the story began, Xanthe saves a…
You’re not going to believe me, but before I read this comic, I was seriously considering whether or not I was being too hard on this series. That was before I read this comic. This comic made me sick to my stomach. It made not want to have to write this review because that would…
This is such a frustrating run. Not only have the first two arcs been very disappointing in terms of quality, but it’s also been really derivative of older runs and other stories. It’s a real chore to get through these issues, and I’m afraid this one’s not any different. So to those who want a…
Dark Knights of Steel readies itself for the final phase of the story. As Protex conspires to destroy the El Kingdom once and for all, the heroes plan out all their necessary defensive measures. Although there is only one more issue to go, the penultimate chapter shows a a surprising amount of restraint. In fact,…
