4 on DC Power: A Celebration #1 reviewWith Black History Month right around the corner DC Power: A Celebration showcases several stories centering the experiences of black superheroes throughout DC’s multiverse. We start off this anthology of stories with a foreword by John Ridley who reflects on his love-hate relationship with superhero comics. He shares his personal passion with trying to bring…
As a result of the Lazarus Rain among other patent pending "Lazarus" problems, the DC Universe begins to mutate. For better or worse, Legends Reborn sires the return of characters such as The Question II, Trigon, and Firestorm. In addition, Lazarus Planet is gearing up to introduce new characters like Trilogy or City Boy. Masks…
I went into this review almost completely blind. Aside from the cover and the title I knew absolutely nothing about the comic. Obviously it was a Red Hood story, which in and of itself brings a lot of expectations. Jason has had a, let's say tumultuous publication history. Since coming back in 2005, he has…
Paul Dini's Mad Love is one of the most iconic Batman stories out there. From a The Batman Adventures one-shot comic, to episode of The New Batman Adventures cartoon, to almost innumerable adaptations and retellings, its popularity is part of what has made Harley Quinn such a beloved character. The tragedy of Harley's unrequited love…
After a three part lead up to this in the backups, and an explosive ending last month, this issue of Detective Comics promises to focus heavily on Harvey Dent and his continuing struggle against himself and the azmer inside him. However things turn out, it’s sure to be interesting. I’ve long said that Harvey Dent…
So we’re almost at the end of this mini-series! Tim Drake has to confront his biggest villain which sounds as anti-climactic as you should expect it to be based on a story that has as of yet failed to deliver on many fronts.Because this comic has many people leaving thoughtful comments about this mini-series I…
I'll be honest. I used to be a MASSIVE fan of Geoff Johns' work. When I was a kid reading his comics, something about that nostalgic resurgence of all the great Silver Age heroes, the ones I saw watching Super Friends growing up, rather than the confusing new characters I'd never heard of (Who's Blue…
Catwoman #51 delivers a competent, yet wholly predictable prison story as Selina manipulates her way to a position of power among her fellow inmates. Anyone who has even the faintest idea of how prison stories operate will find no surprises in store, leaving readers with a narrative that has little to say. On the positive…
We're back! The Runaway's adventures continue, and the FOMO Fear Gas is still spreading! What secrets connect the two? Will our heroes, past and present, be able to stop their respective crises? Let's find out! The Runaway I think I've said it in just about every review so far, but The Runaway is such an…
I haven’t been particularly interested in most of the One Bad Day one-shots. Creating a Killing Joke kind of comic for a few of the other rogues sounds like an uninspired concept to me. I also haven’t really enjoyed some of the previous one-shots in this series; it’s been a little underwhelming, for the most…
Some say the only way to play the game is to not play at all. Turns out, that's Punchline's entire strategy! In fact, it seems as if Punchline: The Gotham Game is really Alexis Kaye's rebellion against both law and order. After Catwoman's arrest, Punchline inherits Black Mask as her new nemesis. Emasculated in Tini…
After a couple issues where the Batgirls were body-swapped the girls have finally returned to their own bodies. With Stephanie still in the hands of Cluemaster, it’s up to Cassandra to save her. And what better way to do that, than with a silent issue? This issue of Batgirls has no spoken text at all.…
I have to say I don’t really like the idea behind the One Bad Day specials and I haven’t felt the desire to read any of the previous issues. That won't affect how I score this issue but I can't stop myself from indulging in some commentary on the series as a whole now that it’s…
It’s not often that I’m this happy to be so wrong about something. I criticized the previous issue of Titans United: Bloodpact for how the mind control of Jinx by Raven didn’t seem to make much sense because how would Brother Blood not be aware. This issue makes me want to take that all back.…
After the last issue, Batman and his team have finally found Superman and this series is finally drawing to a close. This comic is pretty bad. That’s all that needs to be said and all the discussion that it merits. It’s the type of story that is both frustrating to read and completely forgettable when…
While this comic might work for some, to me it’s been rather boring. My biggest complaint about the previous issue was that there were various themes that were fighting for the spotlight, and none of them were really being fleshed out. I’ve been hoping that perhaps the halfway point of this 6-issue series would inject…
This series is in an unenviable position. I've talked about this before, but there is only so much Tee Franklin is able to do with a story set between seasons of a show with ongoing plotlines. She can't progress anything going on in the show because that all needs to happen on TV, and she…
It’s the final issue of the second arc, and it’s been a lot of fun so far. Can Superman and Batman save David? Can David become the hero that he’s supposed to be or will he fall to the dark side? Can the creative team end this arc on a high note? Let’s have a…
While recent issues delved slightly into Dick Grayson’s darker side by putting him face to face with Tony Zucco, Nightwing #100 is a celebration of all of Dick’s best characteristics. Tom Taylor and a large collection of artists deliver a sentimental, if not messy anniversary issue that sends the series in a new direction. The…
While Jace comes to terms with his family’s deception, his biological mother is in need of saving. All the terrible things the Fox family have come to do and hide under the covers is really causing a lot of mistrust and resentment between each other which we get to witness for better or for worse.Whenever…
