4 on Poison Ivy #13 reviewIf you’ve seen the cover for this issue, you probably think it’s all about Harley and Ivy spending a romantic evening together. After all, the cover shows them on a boat ride on a lake outside of Gotham, drinking champagne with the issue's tag line being, “Date Night.” Well, if you think that’s what this…
A miracle has happened in this issue of Joker. We get plot progression! It’s not much plot progression. In fact, I could pretty much sum it up in 3 sentences. However, at least we get somewhere. Killer Croc and Joker Throughout this story, we’ve met various Batman rogues who each have a different opinion on who…
This month Detective Comics kicks into high gear as Batman and his allies charge forward to confront the Orghams. Will pushing the pace into a higher gear jump start this run, and breathe some much needed momentum into things? Let’s see. Right away I want to say that I am so glad to see faster…
DC Comics is back to kick start pride month with DC Pride: 2023 #1, which follows the same format as the last two years with several short stories featuring some of DC's most prevalent LGBTQIA+ characters. Before reading the stories, I urge everyone to read Phil Jimenez’s foreword which is exceptionally well done and reminds…
My review for the previous issue had an astonishing amount of comments, each one providing fun or insightful viewpoints that I am happy to share here before we start the review! With Tim Drake being the titular character it’s normal that many people who are invested in the character would speak out about his misrepresentation…
Oh, hey there, Bat-fans! Nice to see you! I've been on a sort of mini vacation. You see, I figured out a sweet way to do way less review work than I normally would! It's a genius plan, really. I wait, say, about two months, and then come back to do a double review! Sort…
Tom Taylor indulges his worst habits in Nightwing #104, creating a comic that seems hellbent on delivering a lackluster finale to an otherwise promising arc. Travis Moore’s art is aesthetically pleasing, but Taylor’s script gives him little to work with, resulting in a bland, surface level reading experience. The cliffhanger from last month had Neron…
It’s another month and another Harley Quinn issue. Does this one prove that Tini Howard actually has what it takes to reinvigorate this character in comics again? Well, not exactly. Years of Forgettable Content I want to reiterate, this issue is far from the worst I’ve seen for Harley. However, recently I was working on…
Last month Batgirls began the final arc in its run. The focus this time is on The Hill and the community that resides there as they react to a shocking sniper attack and rally to protect those they care about. This issue takes all that and builds on it, bringing together much of the cast…
It’s chapter three of the third arc, and I don’t know about you guys, but I’m ready to dig into this one. Last month Waid, Mora and Bonvillain left us with a great cliffhanger. Can they live up to expectations and deliver another chapter of the same quality? Let’s have a look. This is an…
The Dawn Of DC is finally upon us. After the death and return of the Justice League in Joshua Williamson's Dark Crisis, Nightwing and the Titans become the premiere team in the DCU. Unfortunately, the target on their back grows larger and larger as the Titans settle into their new position. Forever & A Daze…
Catwoman #55 operates as more of a resetting of the table than the fifth part of a story arc. Tini Howard’s script has more room to breathe now that Selina is out of prison and Nico Leon’s slick aesthetic gets ample opportunity to shine as the series returns to its usual high class environments. Nonetheless,…
The Vigil is a new superhero team book that is a part of DC’s We Are Legends initiative, celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Month. As these characters were previously teased in a Lazarus Planet tie-in alongside Red Hood and then made an appearance in Detective Comics, it seemed that they were being set up…
Anthology series are often by their nature very hit or miss. Any given comic has some likelihood of either being good or bad, and when you collect them like this you roll the dice over and over again. With a whopping 64 pages, Batman: The Brave and the Bold #1 almost feels less like an…
This latest story from the vaults of Batman: White Knight allows us to go on a child friendly escapade between the Joker and his two children. We already learnt about the children in the run of Batman Beyond as they took on two different aspects of the Joker’s personality but now we get to see…
Welcome dear readers to the first issue of Alyssa Wong's Spirit World in honor of AAPI heritage month. Following their first appearance in the We Are Legends short story within the Lazarus Planet event, Xanthe Zhou returns to lead their own original series. Xanthe must gather allies to rescue Batgirl from the mysterious Spirit World!…
This month in The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries, it seems that Batman has replaced the gang with a new mystery-solving team. Meanwhile, an ancient bat spirit is haunting Gotham. Can Scoob and his friends solve the case first and prove to Batman that they’re still valuable partners? More importantly, after last month, this title needs a…
Batman Inc. eerily begins its Joker Era, as The Joker recruits his own team of international clowns. Following an unexpected attack on Man-Of-Bats, consecutive threats around the world further prove that Joker may be one step ahead. Secret Identity Crisis One of the main themes in play in this arc is the concept of life…
I would like to take a moment to blame a potential portion of my readership. If you have ever spent a dollar on one of Jimmy Palmiotti and Amanda Connor’s Harley Quinn comics, I’m blaming you for the atrocity that is Frank Tieri’s Harley Quinn Screws Up the DCU. Without the financial success of that…
This arc focusing on Straightman started with an interesting premise: how do Batman and the US government deal with a Captain-America-esque super soldier who's been brainwashed into being a henchman for the Joker? It was a mystery based on small clues that had been planted since the beginning of the season. However, from there, the…
