0 on Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #1 reviewSometimes as a comic book fan you get a good feeling about a book. Oftentimes that feeling dissipates after reading it, but every now and then, you get to read something that matches or at least reaches close to your initial expectations. So yeah I really like the first issue of Cheetah and Cheshire Rob…
Sandman season 2 has come to an end with Death: The High Cost of Living, but is it worth your time. One of the biggest comics of the 1990s, Sandman has languished around Hollywood for years looking for a live-action adaptation to become a reality. At long last, Netflix made it a reality, and it…
Sonic's having a pretty good run of things at the moment, huh? He's got a pretty sweet new racing game coming out, a very popular film and TV franchise, a Magic card set, and that's all without mentioning this crossover. This series has really grown on me. When I read the first issue, I think…
The Last Halloween returns after three-month break with issue #8. For this issue, Becky Cloonan steps in to do the interior artwork. This sequel series to The Long Halloween has been really hit-or-miss for me so far, so does this issue get my interest back on the right track? Let’s get into it. Issue #8…
Watters and Francavilla reteam in Nightwing 2025 Annual #1 to drop the 4-11 on Olivia Pearce and the Zanni. To do so, Watters picks and prods at their backstories with detective work by Commissioner Maggie Sawyer. As her footwork illuminates more dark truths, the nature of the Cirque Du Sin and their master plan becomes…
So this comic is an interesting one for multiple reasons. It is a rebranded version of the old Justice League Quarterly, except this time each of these issues are getting #1s instead of being labeled under a single series. This might actually help sales as readers are unlikely to remember a random series coming out…
Welcome back my fellow historians! In this month's issue of New History, we're tackling a time and events I'm slightly more familiar with. The founding of the JL, The Teen Titans, heck, maybe even a Crisis! Can the book provide a definite answer to the age old question of what's canon or not? Read on and…
Sandman is back for the second half of its second season on Netflix, and it's time for the story to come to an end. One of the biggest comics of the 1990s, Sandman has languished around Hollywood for years looking for a live-action adaptation to become a reality. At long last, Netflix made it a…
Breaking Me by Topic plays in the background as I write this Why is a comic like DC vs Vampires: World War V made? An intent to tell a compelling story? Doubtful, as I don’t remember too many people clamoring for a sequel after the way the last one ended. A need to cash in…
Within Batman comics there are a number of topics that get brought up pretty frequently as a way of questioning the character's core premise. I'm sure you've heard plenty of them before, if not in comics themselves then in countless fan arguments. "Why doesn't Batman kill the Joker?", "Does Batman work better alone?", etc. They're…
So this issue isn’t technically part of the main crossover and acts more as a setting up point, we felt that Jackson and I should do our due diligence and review this issue together. As always Jackson’s text will be in blue and mine will be in purple. So the epilogue to this long, long…
Jason Todd’s inner turmoil is consuming him. Batman is struggling on how to mentor the troubled youth. And this new vigilante, Wraith, has his own philosophy on how to handle the criminals in Gotham and will cross lines that the Caped Crusader won’t by willing to kill. As Jason tries to figure out who he…
Ready, set, go! Nightwing has twenty-four hours to save the Titans Tower after a fifth dimensional event. In the previous issue, the mysterious Zanni forcibly grafts Dick's imp friend, Nite-Wing to the Tower for unknown reasons, trapping Oracle inside. Not to mention, unbeknownst to our hero, the delinquent Bryce Moran is also inside. Now, Nightwing…
Detective Comics #1099 begins with a hail of bullets as Batman attempts to escape a small army! After hiring detective Harvey Bullock to investigate the Elixir organization, Batman turns to rescue him and the Penguin from a Pokolistan facility. As is the case with such things, it devolves into a vicious shootout. Unfortunately, bullets may…
Bizarro is such a ridiculous concept. It's long been a staple in comics that superheroes have some sort of enemy that is just like them, but evil. It makes for a good "dark reflection" character conflict, as well as an easy way to give them a foe who is definitionally an even match. Bizarro takes…
With Batman captured inside the Ark M facility and Bane revealed as the monstrosity that he is, Bruce must now find a way out before he is totally broken. What this comic does more than anything else is take Batman to his lowest point in order to test his resolve in a crucible of desperation.…
So for this month instead of reviewing the latest issue of Catwoman, I get to check out Selina’s wacky adventures alongside her fellow Gotham City divas in Gotham City Sirens: Unfit for Orbit #3. Considering how DC approaches wacky most of the time, this could end up being more punishing than my regular routine… or…
Well well well. After an 8 month hiatus (although I suppose technically it's just a break between 2 series), we are back in the universe of Gotham By Gaslight. If you read any of my previous reviews, you'll know that I wasn't a fan of The Kryptonian Age. So, let's see if this new series…
In the cultural consciousness, Superman is a perfect being. A perfectly muscled god who is above making mistakes and has the right answer for every situation. That makes for a great freeze-frame, but it makes for a pretty dull character. James Gunn's take on Superman reaches back to the simpler days of Richard Donner and…
With 87 years of history, you could fill a lot of books about nothing but Superman, his stories, supporting cast, and various exploits. And they have, what with the thousands of individual issues of Superman comics that are out there. If you wanted a comprehensive look at the Man of Steel, though, that would be…
