3 on Dawn of DC Knight Terrors Free Comic Book Day Special Edition reviewKnight Terrors is upon us. For the months of July and August, almost every ongoing comic that DC publishes will be part of an event which sees their characters trapped in a "Nightmare Realm" where they must face their deepest fears. Far be it from me to tell DC how to do their jobs, but…
Issue #135 is not only the finale of Zdarsky’s second arc, but it’s also the 900th Batman issue, and it's oversized. More pages doesn’t automatically mean better quality, though, and it's not a secret that I haven’t been enjoying this run. I hope that this issue will be good, but I’m not feeling optimistic about…
After seven short months, Batman & The Joker: The Deadly Duo has concluded. In this issue, everything is revealed and we are treated to a few twists. So far, this title has been nothing but great. Can it stick the landing though? Well… yes. There were a few things that bothered me and I’ll touch…
I have mixed feelings about this issue of Poison Ivy. On the one hand, I like the overall idea of the story and where it is going. On the other hand, I think that the execution is really off. What Works The overall plot of this issue is that Ivy finally makes a decision to…
I don’t hate this issue of Joker as much as I have the last few issues. There are some good things to glean from it. But if you’re hoping for a lot of plot progression here, after chapter after chapter of this series has gone no where, well you’re out of luck. About Comic Book…
Sweet Tooth is back for a second season on Netflix and is still full of the charms that made the first season so endearing. When last we saw Gus/Sweet Tooth (Christian Convery), he had been captured by the Last Men and taken to their newly captured zoo. Tommy "Big Man" Jepperd (Nonso Anozie) had been…
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!The comments for the last issue were teeming with new ideas as many made their disappointment in DC known. There were lots of complaints and…
Hello all! We're on the back half of The Riddler: Year One now, and as the issues progress, I feel a need to change up my reviewing style. If I have to give this book points for anything, it would have to be consistency. Since issue #1, I've felt its strengths and flaws have remained…
After teasing some further details about the Orgham’s past last month, this issue of Detective Comics makes good on its promise and delivers a backstory meant to give depth, and answer at least a few questions about what’s going on. Since we've seen so much of the family over this series, does this backstory really…
I need you all to understand, Harley Quinn has had some of the worst, most offensive content ever produced for a DC comic book character. I’m experiencing some of that right now in my reviews for Harley Screws up the DCU. So, when a comic comes out, and it’s just sort of painfully average with…
Catwoman #54 features several interesting character dynamics that find themselves inelegantly utilized to set Selina on a new path forward. Tini Howard wisely wraps up Selina’s stint in prison, but bites off more than the narrative can chew. Team ups that should be satisfying feel rushed and Selina’s prison friends become largely relegated to background…
Nightwing #103 delivers a fun, genuinely surprising story with impressive art from Travis Moore and Vasco Georgiev. Sometimes Taylor’s sense of humor drains the tension from what should be a thrilling narrative. However, this time the series takes itself more seriously, letting the jokes better integrate itself into the drama, rather than inhibiting it. Nightwing,…
It’s the second chapter of the third arc, and this arc is off to a good start. The setup last month was excellent. Not only did it provide a neat jumping-on point, but it was also a strong premise that promises a great adventure, involving Metamorpho and Simon Stagg. I can’t wait to see where…
DCeased finally reaches the end of its five year long tragedy. As death comes to the worlds of the multiverse, only the brave heroes of Earth-2 stand on the front lines. Granted, will be there any kind of life to salvage if the heroes manage to prevail? The Final Battle Originally, Darkseid's pursuit of the…
Batgirls moves into a new arc this month, focusing on crime situated in The Hill, the Batgirls' home and main location they strive to protect. The crime in question is a sniper, and as the girls investigate they learn more about the place they’ve come to call home, and the others living there. I’ll start…
This month in The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries, Daphne gets invited to perform in a national talent show held in Gotham. The gang arrives to find contestants going missing and a mystery afoot! But is it any good? Let’s see! There are both positives and negatives to comic books with a rotating creative team. On…
Avoid this comic. No, I’m not going to beat around the bush with any witty introduction. You should not buy this comic. It is an abomination on every level. This comic is so unbelievably awful that dissecting every aspect that makes it bad would take forever. However, I will do my best to offer you…
The Professor Pyg two-parter has finally come to a conclusion! As Batman Inc. closes in on their quarry, Ghost-Maker faces an unexpected temptation. Ghost-Maker uses the hunt for Lazlo "Professor Pyg" Valentin as an exercise for Batman Inc. In the previous issue, Pyg somehow manages to capture major Gotham villains in search of his stolen…
This story has a lot going on. There are mysteries, battles, revelations, and twists. We finally get answers to the questions raised last issue, and the conflicts they've created all start coming to a head. At first glance it seems like the formula for an exhilarating comic. However, when there are only about twenty pages…
We’ve arrived at the penultimate issue of this phenomenal miniseries and I can’t believe it’s almost over already. The best ones always go too fast. Ah, well. Let’s get into another edition of “William heaps praise on Marc Silvestri.” This issue is one of the strongest yet. There are still some big reveals that are…
