  • Superman: The Official Cookbook review

    In my years of writing for this and other websites, I’ve reviewed a wide range of products. Single-issue comics and graphic novels, of course, along with prose novels, reference books, card and board games, action figures and statues, movies, and television series. You know what I’ve also reviewed a surprising number of?  Cookbooks. Not like…

  • Sandman Season 2, Vol. 1 review

    Sandman is back for a 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 reality, and it feels…


  • Batman ‘89 Echoes #6 review

    Where do I even start with this? Well, I guess I start with the biggest elephant in the room. At this moment, the most noteworthy thing about this series are the massive delays between each issue (the last issue came out in December of last year). But at this point, I’m not sure how much…


  • New History of The DC Universe #1 review

    This year is a year of new beginnings for DC. The whole DCU movie reboot, the All In and all the Absolute books, there are truly so many points for new readers and longtime fans to jump back in. Although, whenever you have reinventions and reboots, it's bound to contradict something that's already been written,…


  • Justice League Unlimited #8 review

    Well here we are at the end of “We Are Yesterday,” a crossover between World’s Finest and Justice League Unlimited. Fittingly, the reviews for this crossover, was also a crossover between its respective reviewers, Jackson and me. It was a blast doing my first crossover review and I hope Jackson had fun as well. So…

  • Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #40 review

    As far as World's Finest is concerned, "We Are Yesterday" is done. The event still has a few more entries over in Justice League Unlimited, but the Bronze Age Batman and Superman now return to their regularly scheduled adventures. As is often the case in between big arcs on this title, we get a much…


  • Catwoman #77 review

    So this arc of Catwoman has been going on for so long that we have our third artist on this title (please welcome Danilo Beyruth). And yes, someone might argue that all of these issues have consisted of multiple two-part mini-arcs with separate names. To that I would say, I can reheat leftover pizza from…

  • DC vs Vampires: World War V # 10 review

    sigh Let’s just get this over with. DC vs Vampires: World War V #10 hits a new low. Like an all-time series low. Like it is so disappointing at this point that I’m forgoing the bit I’ve been doing with the series as my partner in a toxic relationship because this thing deserves a proper…

  • Absolute Batman #9 review

    With the horrors of Ark M revealed, Batman launches a crusade to put a stop to it and save his missing friend. The bulk of the issue is centered on Bruce's search for Waylon, though "investigation" would be a strong word. Given the danger that Waylon is in, Bruce takes a far more physical approach…

  • Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong 2 #1 review

    Alright folks, let's do this one more time. When I started writing for this site, one of the first series I reviewed was the original JL vs G vs K, starting part way through at #6. I remember being very disappointed in it, and even more surprised that it was due for a sequel. Now, the…


  • Poison Ivy #34 review

    Oh boy! Here’s the moment where I really wish I had managed to catch up on this series! There’s a lot of lore that I’m completely in the dark about and I feel as lost as our characters running away in the forest. Time for me to read up for the next review but while…
