0 on Batman/Superman: World's Finest #7 reviewA new arc starts in this issue, and it’s a good jumping-on point for new readers looking to get into this series. There's a whole new adventure that introduces a whole new character, and you can easily pick this up and read it without having read the first arc. But is it actually worth your…
Catwoman #47 attempts to lighten the atmosphere of the series as Tini Howard sends Selina and Valmont on an international heist in a Swiss ski chalet. The series has struggled to maintain a consistent tone with this issue being a prime example. Caitlin Yarsky’s pencils are very expressive and fun to look at, which puts…
Ugh. Another month, another bad comic. Last issue ended with fake Cassie siccing the entire fake Justice League on Tim, Bart, and Connor. It made no sense then. (How will a fake Batman punching Tim make him accept a new life in this reality?) Spoilers! It makes no sense now. You can tell how I…
“If you expect disappointment then you can never be disappointed,” said Zendaya’s M. J. from Spider Man: No Way Home. It’s some pretty cynical advice, but it is advice I wish I had taken when beginning to read this book. I was looking forward to this anthology all year, literally. I was hyped when the…
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, All-Out War isn't much of a war, but finally starts the fight properly. The third installment follows the remaining survivors continuing their mission to extract a high valued target or die trying. Alex Paknadel and Matthew Rosenberg have managed to craft a nihilistic rescue mission set…
War Of The Undead Gods continues with an unbelievable sophomore issue. Just as the world’s heroes have begun attempting to rebuild their world, a new foe has emerged to threaten their universe at large. While not as tragic or violent as expected, Undead Gods once again instills the fear of Darkseid to the DCUniverse. I…
Zdarsky has taken Batman: The Knight in a direction that I'm genuinely shocked he's decided to go: rewriting the origin of Bruce and Ra's al Ghul's relationship. When this series began, it seemed like pretty straight forward concept; the time between when Bruce's parents were shot and when he returns to Gotham to fight crime…
Say what you will about Urban Legends, but I'm always at the very least excited to crack it open and see what we have. An anthology series like this can be a big risk, and as I've said many times before, isn't always worth your money, but when it gets good it gets GOOD. Urban Legends #19…
Time and time again, I think, "Can they do it? Could they?" And time and time again, Jurassic League says, "WOOOOOOOOOOO YEAH DINOSAAAAAUUUUURRRRRSSSSSSSSS" It's good to be back. A Jurassic Classic Our favorite dinos are finally back to kick some tail, and it's just as awesome as ever. The stakes have been skyrocketed now that the…
Batgirls #10 continues the girl’s investigation into the Hill Ripper and who killed their neighbor. The story feels light and fun, and keeps the detective work split evenly between Barbara on her own, and Steph and Cass. For me, something in Batgirls clicked this issue. We’re ten issues and a couple arcs in, and I…
Batman vs. Robin #1 overcomes most of the pitfalls a “versus” title faces at its very conception. I don’t like seeing heroes fight each other, but the return of a fan favorite character and aggressive pacing allows Mark Waid and Mahmud Asrar to cut to the chase and deliver equal parts spectacle and character drama.…
Maybe I'm just getting used to this story arc, but I don't hate this issue as much as I have the past few. It's still not very good, but it's mostly mediocre in the same way that plenty of other comics are. Dennis Culver has managed to put a leash on the absurd chaos of…
Come witness one of the slowest stories in Batman history! This time we get to witness heady philosophical conversations between Batman and his allies while his little sister confronts the people that are dragging down those she tries to help. It’s difficult to remember that this is supposed to be part of a new storyline…
If you're a fan of Batman toys, then you're probably familiar with Jada Toys. Their Metalfigs and Hollywood Rides lines have featured countless versions of the Dark Knight and his wider universe for quite some time now. With the release of The Batman earlier this year, I knew that Jada would be giving us their take…
Damn it. Alright Flashpoint Beyond, back it up. You had me for a while here, but now you're really losing me. I can't in good conscience spend an entire review trashing Dark Crisis, and not subject you to the same scrutiny when you carry the same issues. Flashpoint Beyond #5 opens on a perversely funny scene, when it wastes…
My Dungeons and Dragons session got cancelled today, and I'm blaming it all on Dark Crisis. Oh, sorry. Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths, apparently. I find it funny how excited DC was to market this name change - before it even happened in the story, no less! It makes a gal wonder if I should bother using a…
I had a lot of complaints with the writing of Poison Ivy #3, so much so that I wrote several paragraphs on how I thought the story could improve. With this chapter, I'm pleased to say that it looks like most all of the problems I gave have been fixed! Is there a moment in…
I keep having mixed feelings about this Batman run. On the one hand, I think it’s safe to say that Zdarsky and Jiminez are having a lot of fun as I sense enthusiasm and synergy in these issues. On the other hand, I’m not feeling some of the narrative choices that the creative team is…
To be honest, I've kind of been struggling to figure out how to properly introduce this thing. Lee Bermejo is one of my favorite Batman artists, and certainly one of the most prolific ever to touch the character. As such, a book that serves as a showcase for his work is a surefire hit. Every…
So this is the way the series ends, not with a bang, but with a whimper. When I first started reviewing Batman Beyond: Neo-Year, I was not very impressed. I commented that it was meandering and often unable to effectively convey the ideas that it was trying to get across. However, over time the series…
