0 on Sword of Azrael #1 reviewSo here we are with the first issue of the Sword of Azrael miniseries. If you’d like to read my review of the prelude, Dark Knight of the Soul, you can find it here. I really loved that story so this one has a high standard to live up to. Does it succeed? Let’s see!…
Azrael: Dark Knight of the Soul is a one shot written by Dan Watters with art by Nikola Cizmesija, that compiles all three chapters of last year's Urban Legends story. This reprint provides everyone with the opportunity to catch up ahead of Sword of Azrael #1, which is also out today. I’ll be reviewing that as…
Batman: White Knight Presents: Red Hood is a two issue story that gives background on the White Knight version of Jason Todd and his life between the time he spent as Robin and his return as Red Hood. It also acts as a fill in story for the month break in Beyond the White Knight’s…
DC Comics is one of the most popular and prolific publishers on the planet*. Zombies are one of the more popular horror creatures out there too, which makes sense because the undead are both terrifying and easy to adapt to practically any property. Combine the two and you've got yourself DCeased, DC's immensely successful take…
It's hard to write an opening for something related to Batman: The Animated Series, because everyone knows it, everyone loves it, and I can only share my own personal anecdotes so many times before I become "repetitive" or something. I don't know. Anyway, McFarlane have a bunch of great action figures, and have started producing…
When the second season of Harley Quinn: The Animated Series finished, Harley and Ivy were left driving off into the sunset, surrounded by flames and being chased by cops. It was about as perfect a summation of their relationship you could get, and acted as payoff to a two season long "will they, won't they"…
Every generation tends to have their own Green Lantern. In 1972, the late Denny O'Neil and Neal Adams created one of the most iconic Green Lanterns of all time: John Stewart. For several years since, he's been a staple member of the Justice League and Green Lantern Corps. in comics and animated adaptations. Most notably,…
This is it, folks. The third and final issue of Jock’s One Dark Knight series. I love both the first and second issue of this story, and have praised them for their glorious visuals and sharp writing while giving them high scores. But whenever I’m enjoying a story that much, I always feel a little…
As I’ve said before, Task Force Z’s second half just hasn’t been as strong as its first half. The main problem is that the story’s all over the place and it’s seemingly lost sense of direction. What is this comic trying to say anymore? Where plot twists were interesting and exciting before, now they seem…
Detective Comics #1062 is the opening act of Ram V’s time on the book. Promising operatic darkness, and a new enticing mystery this arc –and run– is sure to be an interesting one. I’m delighted to get a chance to review it, as Ram V is one of my favorite writers at DC right now.…
After Shadow War and the last issue brought Damian back together with both his parents, he’s pushing forward into his own path in life choosing to step away from both of them. Returning to Lazarus Island he has a plan for his own future, and that of the friends he’s made along the way. But…
Gargantuan adventures now await the DC Universe in the first issue of DC: Mech #1. The new story stands on the shoulders of it's predecessors like Supeman/Batman: Public Enemies, Batman Unlimited: Mechs Vs. Monsters, Fleisher's The Mechanical Monsters, and more. The anime inspired series is set in Kenny Porter and Baldemar Rivas' mechanized alternate universe.…
Fortress #3 sees Batman continuing to try and find a solution to the crisis at hand. In the process he searches out a few possible allies. I haven't been enjoying this comic so far. Has my opinion changed? Well... no. Here's why! At this point, I am thoroughly bored with this comic. While that’s the…
Today, we reach the final chapter of the "Verdict" storyline in Harley Quinn, as well as the last time Riley Rossmo will be handling the art on this title. While today's issue might not be the worst one I've read in this series, it's certainly a strange comic, and one that makes my overall opinion…
Magic has always existed on the periphery of Batman, even if he's supposed to be the one with more "realistic" abilities and stories. His design and name itself evoke a gothic horror motif, rife with vampires, phantoms, and monsters. It took about 4 months after his debut for Batman to face his first supernatural foe…
Dinosaurs and superheroes, two species separated by 65 million years of evolution, have just been suddenly thrown back in the mix together. How can we possibly have the slightest idea of what to expect? I'll tell you how. Jurassic League has been straight bangers since issue #1. Issue #3 does not disappoint. Wow, I can't believe…
Nightwing #94 manages to keep the tension going strong by raising the stakes even further for Dick, Barbara, and especially Melinda Zucco, who finds herself more prevalent than before. Geraldo Borges fills in for Bruno Redondo again, but still delivers high quality art even if the overall aesthetic is much different. Tom Taylor’s script wastes…
Catwoman #45 brings the Bat family into the series in a major way with mixed results. While Selina and Bruce’s on again off again relationship has never truly left the series, here Tim, Stephanie, Cassandra, and even Dick Grayson all make appearances. These interactions inject some nuance into Selina’s current headspace, but the narrative stumbles…
I’m really starting to get into this series. Yes, I’ve critiqued previous issues and didn’t always think that everything worked, but I’ll say up front that this is my favorite issue from this series yet. It feels like the creative team’s finding its footing, and the result is a solid and super entertaining conclusion to…
Young Justice continue on their Dark Crisis adjacent adventure in this issue written by Meghan Fitzmartin and drawn by Laura Braga. Luis Guerrero also continues as the colorist. Bart, Connor, and Tim now have to try and discover just where they are and how they can get back to their own world. Well, last month…
