78 on Tim Drake: Robin #3 reviewIt seems as though Tim Drake has abandoned any pretense of seeking out a life that is in any way shape or form separate from his identity as Robin. While the writing seems to embrace this idea it must still finish the painfully contrived mystery narrative that is pulling the strings behind the scenes. Though…
Oh boy do I have thoughts for this one! This review is gonna be longer than usual because I have to address some problems here and, sadly, be critical of something that I still see great promise in! To recap a bit on the story, Titans United: Bloodpact takes place in a parallel world where…
Catwoman #49 is the best issue in the series to come out in a while with its solid balance of well executed action sequences and a more nuanced depiction of Selina’s current love life. While the overarching narrative continues to be muddy at best, Tini Howard’s script gives Selina her clearest sense of purpose in…
There were a few things that I liked about last month's first issue, and then there were a bunch of things that I disliked. My main critique had to do with the fact that a lot of the social criticism was rather on-the-nose instead of organically integrated in the narrative. I said that it wasn’t…
Tom Taylor cranks up the meta meter with the occasionally amusing Nightwing #98, which features the debut of Nite-Mite. Whenever a fifth dimensional imp shows up the sky’s the limit for whatever shenanigans can ensue. However, Taylor’s script spends a lot of time poking fun at reader expectations and widens the scope to address concerns…
The first two issues of the current arc have been great. The creative team is putting a lot of effort into developing David’s character, as well as fleshing out the drama that revolves around him. I’m eager to get into issue #9, so let’s just have ourselves a look! The character work continues to be…
After a particularly rocky first encounter with the One Bad Day series, I wasn't exactly hopeful for this issue. Admittedly, it's set during what might be my favorite era of Batman, starring Robin prominently, with one of my all time favorite Bat-villains as its antagonist (though that definitely didn't save Riddler), so I had no choice…
At the midway point of the story, the heroes have become unsure how to address the upcoming threat. As the Unliving Darkseid tears through the universe collecting stronger assets, the survivors sadly find it difficult to unite. I've been trying to figure out the hook of DCeased. Beyond the gratuity of bloodshed and morbid violence,…
Things are not looking up for Deathstroke's Suicide Squad! After an unexpected betrayal and the loss of their high value target, the team desperately retreats to the Flash Museum. Whether the team realizes it or not, their unexpected escape was part of Constantine's plan. Several issues ago, Constantine mentioned that Deadman will be insurance against…
If you couldn't tell by the cover, Harley Quinn: The Animated Series: Legion of Bats! continues to make Harley and Ivy's relationship the focal point of the series. This issue is exactly what it says on the tin, with about the entire first half being devoted to the two going on a shopping date together.…
Sorry, I will be your substitute reviewer until Nic returns! DC Comics expects readers to regard Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths as a significant story. It certainly has all the trappings of a major crisis event. Its pages tout large scale battles with heroes, villains, impossible machines, and other multiversal shenanigans. Even so, why does…
Hey folks! Matina is out, so I'll be handling the Batgirls review this week. I'll be up front, I haven't been keeping up with this book week to week, but I did some rush reading in preparation for this, so if I get something wrong, you know why. Alright, with the disclaimer out of the way,…
Before I begin talking about this issue I would just like to apologize and hold myself accountable for misgendering Kid Quick in my last review. Thankfully a fellow editor was able to correct the mistake but I shouldn’t have assumed that I knew their gender and especially when there are so few nonbinary characters it’s…
I Am Batman takes a leap into uncharted territory and becomes a much more exhilarating read. I’m a bit hesitant due to the fact that I Am Batman always seems to have an intriguing moment where everything looks like it’s about to get better only to go back to the same sludge of repetitive…
Ever since Batman Inc. returned, someone has been hunting down each one of Batman and Ghost-Maker's former teachers! While the evidence points a finger at Ghost-Maker, several other suspicious players begin to make their moves. The Man He Used To Be Ed Brisson makes use of Ghost-Maker's newly fleshed out backstory in Chip Zdarsky's Batman:…
We're back again this week with more of your favorite anthology series, and it's a great issue, folks! There's some really creative stories this time around, and I don't want to waste too much time up here, so let's jump right in! The Wheelman of Gotham The initial installment of this incredible issue follows Batman…
Batman vs. Robin #3 runs like clockwork, efficiently setting up an easy to track sequence of events that deliver fun action while also digging into the core dynamics of the Bat family. Art duties are split between Mahmud Asrar and Scott Godlewski, who both turn in solid work without a noticeable shift in quality. However,…
At this point, I’ve come to expect that Sword of Azrael will be a good read each month. After last issue left us with the reveal of the monstrous “Angel Satan” I’ve been eagerly awaiting the follow-up. So, does Azrael retain its luster for the fourth month in a row? Let’s see! Okay, I won’t…
Batman/Joker: the Deadly Duo, is written and drawn by Marc Silvestri with colors by Arif Prianto. The conceit of the story is that Batman and the Joker must work together to save Harley Quinn. Sound’s interesting in concept but does it work out in practice? Let’s see! Joker fatigue is real and many people have…
Intrigue is possibly the most important aspect of a detective story, and Gotham City: Year One #2 certainly delivers. In my last review, I said that while it took a while for the story to grab me, there were enough hooks to keep my interest for where the story would go. The second issue is…
