5 on The Joker: the Man Who Stopped Laughing #2 reviewI was pretty lukewarm in my review for the start of The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing. I don’t feel fatigued by the titular character as others do, but I wasn’t very intrigued by the initial set up for this run either. Will this issue change my mind and give me the exciting twists,…
This is it. The issue I’ve been waiting for since the Poison Ivy series began. The issue that will answer the question, is Ivy a hero or a villain? What direction does DC want Ivy to go in next? Will that direction disappoint? Well, I unfortunately have to say that it does disappoint. How could this…
After a long prelude, the war for the three kingdoms finally begins! Hippolyta, Amanda Waller, and the newly crowned Queen Anissa meet face to face on the battlefield. Although, the growing tension between the armies shorten the discussion and edge them all closer to mutually assured oblivion. Medieval politics have not been the same after…
Failsafe has taken over Gotham. The Bat Family and the JLA are defeated. Batman is hiding out in Atlantis, trying to come up with a plan. I was not very impressed with the previous issue because it was presenting a scenario that’s been done over and over again, just with different villains and conflicts. I’ve…
Over three years later, Mondo is re-releasing their Batman: The Animated Series 1/6 Scale Batman figure, but it's not exactly the same collectible as before. No, Batman is back with some outstanding improvements to paint application, greater overall height, and a shakeup to its assortment of accessories, but with those advancements also comes an increase…
Tim Drake is trying to forge his own path in the Gotham Marina, away from Batman, trying to find out what life could be like if he didn’t have to worry about being Robin. While trying to build a relationship with Bernard, an evil genius in love with detective stories keeps pulling Tim Drake back…
Amid the chaos happening in the wider universe, it is always nice when the story can settle down. DC: Mech #4 does it's best to bring the narrative closer to home before things get far worse. At this point in the monomyth, the characters go through a period of self reflection. After Kal-El crashes into…
Welcome back, readers! In our last adventure, the illegitimate scion of King Scimitar sold out the Batman after a salacious sword heist. Strangely, the shadowy stalkers wanted to negotiate with our hero, rather than attempt to fight. As the Dark Knight stares down the menacing masked assailants, they share the mysterious truth behind their mission.…
Last month Batman and his team discovered the location of the Fortress of Solitude (again), so here we are to see their attempted break-in. Thankfully this issue isn’t as offensive as the last one but it’s certainly not changing my mind about the series. Let’s get into it. Once again, Fortress flounders because it has…
Gotham Knights has been out for about a week ago, and I gotta say- I'm having a blast. The story is heartfelt and interesting, the characters, while a little different than their comic book counterparts, are well-written and heartfelt, and the gameplay, while definitely a big change from the Arkham series, holds its own and…
Perhaps we've never truly understood the real Alexis Kaye. From first appearance and beyond, Joker's so-called Punchline has stirred-up a lot of ire. Her actions put her in the center of Gotham City's trial of the century, but her victory rose her to greater infamy. Now free, Tini and Blake Howard (Catwoman, Batman: Urban Legends)…
The best laid schemes of mice and men often go awry. However, the plans of our super men and women have finally started to come together. Victory has come fairly easy for the bloodsucking regime ruling the DC Universe, but this may be the chance to meaningfully flip the script! This week in DC Vs.…
Catwoman: Lonely City has been one of the comic highlights of the year for me. Most comics, even when they're fun to read, rarely go beyond the superficial. There is a straightforward conflict, and then you get to read about the characters overcoming that conflict. This series, however, feels much more meaningful. It has a…
So, how many of our readers are D&D players? There's a certain feeling one gains the more familiar you become with the game - though this applies to any tabletop, really. The more you immerse yourself in the world you've been transported into, the more invested you become in your character you've made. Eventually, whether…
This month the action really picks up in Detective Comics as Batman races to deal with the attack on the Orgham family. The fun doesn’t stop there as old faces from this run show up again, in new and surprising ways. I’m really enjoying this run of Detective Comics by Ram V. It’s ticking away…
*Deep sigh* It seems like it was only yesterday that I completed my review for Batman: Beyond the White Knight #5, and here I already have another issue before me to deconstruct. I say “deconstruct,” because I’m at a point where I know what to expect from this universe, and it really doesn’t look like…
Little known fact about me: The Penguin is one of my favourite Batman villains! I don't talk about it much, because I haven't really had much of a chance to review comics with him. He's second to Joker, if only because I'm a basic bitch - but there's a lot to love about this guy.…
Hey there, Bat Fans! For those of you who didn’t know, I went to NYCC earlier this month, and it was incredible. Nick and Casper tagged along, which was super fun (more on that here), and I’m looking forward to doing it again next year! While I was there, I was lucky enough to get…
The series' second arc, which started in last month’s issue, continues this week. I was a big fan of the previous installment, which introduced the new character, David, who has now stepped into the role of Boy Thunder, Superman’s sidekick. The current arc was off to a great start, but can the creative team keep…
In the last chapter of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' seminal Watchmen, there is one final conversation between two of its main characters: Ozymandias, the world's smartest man, and Doctor Manhattan, the world's only true superhuman. Before the sequels, the prequels and the crossovers with the DC Universe, this was the last word on these…
