2 on Batman: The Knight #8 reviewThis series has jumped from delivering my favorite issue of the entire run to my least favorite. It's not a bad issue per se, but so much of what I enjoy about Batman: The Knight, and what it's supposed to be about, gets lost among all the other distractions. Between bringing back Anton as a…
We begin the chapter with some more development on Luke Fox. Basically, he’s reminiscing on the horrors he’s seen come to earth and how he was first motivated to really try to stop them (especially with the Justice League gone). But in his attempt to do good, he might have made something even worse. This…
Cam is unfortunately not available this week, so I'll be filling in for him. This month's Batman: Urban Legends has a mix of new stories kicking off with part/chapter 1, as well as a couple that look into the pressures of taking on a superhero role. As with most anthology collections, there is a wide…
If you were waiting for Cam to give you his next impassioned Jurassic League review, then I have bad news. Cam is sick and needs some time to heal. The good news is that I will be your host for the time being. I won't lie and say that you're in good hands, but I…
While Batman is investigating the murder of Anarky a new mask joins his pursuits in the Big Apple. The youngest daughter of the Fox family is trying to make the world a better place which unintentionally mirrors her brother. As the Question has Batman openly sharing his thoughts, the only question I ask myself is,…
Batgirls continues this month with it’s more focused narrative, aiming it’s story at just a few elements rather than trying to tackle everything and the kitchen sink. Last month they wrapped up the plotline focused on Seer and the Saints and now time for the Batgirls to move onto a new mystery: Just who is…
I’m not gonna lie, I had a hard time starting this review. The reason? In short, this book isn’t good enough to make me recommend it to anyone, but it’s really not bad enough for me to be upset with it. Well, that last part goes for everything except one very important element that I'll…
Transported to an elseworlds of brutal illustrations and onomatopoeias. A "what if" journey limited only by the breadth of the imagination. This is DCeased: War of The Undead Gods. I confess, I'm not that into DCeased as a series. I gave up on it early on as the DC universe began to fall into despair.…
I take back what I said about this title feeling amateurish. You see, "amateur" comes from the Latin word "amator," meaning one who loves (See, Mr. Pogoni? I was paying attention in Latin class). It's meant to indicate someone who does something because they love it, as opposed to getting paid. That is not what's…
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: one of the greatest assets that McFarlane Toys has with their DC Multiverse figures is the variety of characters and properties they represent. More than that, they pull from all sorts of entertainment mediums, from comics to video games to movies and television shows. It seems…
If you're a comics fan, chances are you've seen a character or scene in a book and thought "I wish that was a toy." Well, McFarlane Toys are certainly doing their part to bring us as many action figures and sets as they can, all based on our favorite DC Comics properties. Here we have…
Flashpoint Beyond has earned enough goodwill for me to forgive the occasional misstep. I wouldn't say this is a bad issue, but it deviated a little from what actually interested me about the book - getting lost in the weeds, rather than appreciating the garden as a whole. Let's get into why! The Clockwork Killer…
I'd like to begin this review by asking who enjoys this book, and why. It's not like I think Dark Crisis could not possibly have fans. In fact, I envy those who are fans of this book - I'd love to find joy in this event, to be invested in the characters to the point where…
This month, Tom King’s latest mini-series wraps up with issue #6 of Batman: Killing Time. With last month’s reveal of Clock King stepping in to claim the eye everyone has spent the past five issues trying to claim, just what answers will he have for us now? This month it’s just me reviewing the title,…
A complaint that I've brought up with this series a few times in the past is that it has a number of neat ideas that I like, but is rarely able to execute them satisfactorily. It would bring up something high-concept like money's ability to control societal institutions, but then present it in a way that's…
Now that we’re at the third issue of Multiversity: Teen Justice I can confidently say that the story and art are continuing to go in opposite directions. While each issue has the art improving more and more, the story is slowly starting to wither and head straight towards mediocrity. Troy has gone missing this issue…
In today’s chapter of Poison Ivy, we get more great artwork, more scenes to remind the audience that, yes, Ivy loves Harley, and we get to explore the dueling sides of Ivy’s personality. But we, unfortunately, still don’t have a lot of plot progression or a clear sense of where this storyline is going to…
SVOT is a heavily used business term. It is an acronym for the phrase, “Single Version Of The Truth.” It means that everyone in the organization has the same information, and should essentially be on the same page. In DC Vs. Vampires, I’m not seeing the synergy. When we last left off, Jayna had just…
I want to start off this review by talking about something I haven’t mentioned before when discussing Harley Quinn on this website: sales. Back in the mid-2010s, the character’s comics were selling gangbusters. She’d oftentimes rank only below Batman in terms of the amount of units sent to comic book shops. A lot of people…
I had mixed feelings about the previous issue. While I thought it was definitely entertaining, I also ended up disagreeing with a number of writing choices, and so I wasn’t exactly blown away by it. Of course, with that only being the first issue, the creative team still has plenty of time to develop this…
