0 on DC vs. Vampires: All-Out War #1 reviewWhen the tagline reads “Left for dead, but ready for war,” you should have a good idea what you’re in for. Taking direct inspiration from the 80’s comic anthology of the same name, All-Out War returns with a vampire spin. The plot takes place one year after DC vs. Vampires #6, as Deathstroke’s surviving forces…
After a one month and one week delay, Justice League vs. the Legion of Super-Heroes (still a nonsense title) is finally back in action! As a reminder, the last issue ended with both teams being scattered through time and despite some skepticism, it did give me a renewed interest in the series. The question now is,…
After dropping Seer off at their door, and promising to help her the Batgirls finish making good on that agreement this month as they wrap up this two part mini-arc. Featuring not only the Batgirls, but Nightwing as well, it’s sure to be a fun one. I enjoyed issue #8 of Batgirls. It’s not perfect,…
You guys ever just read an issue of a comic and remember why you started reading that book in the first place? That was me with Urban Legends #17. This book is nothing but pure, wacky team-up fun, and I LOVE it. It might be because I've been watching a lot of Brave and the Bold recently, but I…
Amateurish. That's really the best word that I can use to describe this. Future State: Gotham has never been the top title that DC put out, but since the beginning of the "Batmen at War" arc, it's seen a significant drop in quality. Part of this is due to the fact that it rests on…
She Got Next is the first installment of a new arc. Even though this issue calls itself a part one, most of the plots revolve around the Empire State of Mind finale and barely push past that. Most of the detective work in this issue happens at the very end and so we aren’t really…
Found family was a major theme of the last issue. We were able to watch Selina slowly build up relationships with the people around her and accept them into her life. It was a highly character driven issue that used a series of minor heists to explore the character dynamics between these outcasts, these strays,…
In this second issue of Multiversity: Teen Justice the gang splits up in order to find out more about the Church of Blood. Even though I really wasn’t a fan of the ending of the first issue there was still a lot that Multiversity: Teen Justice had to offer. I was really enjoying the character…
[Review is currently without visual aid; images will be added as soon as possible.] I like to put a level of creativity in my reviews - but normally, that's kind of contingent on the story encouraging a creative response. Like Dark Crisis #1, issue #2 does little to convince me such effort is necessary. There's good stuff…
I haven’t been enjoying Batman for a while. King’s run was okay for me, but I feel like Tynion was running this whole thing into the ground with every issue. Williamson’s short run wasn’t bad, though it also wasn’t anything to write home about. But now Zdarsky has signed on to write this series, and…
After a one month break The Joker is back to wrap up the series with its final issue. We left off last time with Batman staring down Jim Gordon asking the same question most readers probably were: What happened to the Joker? This issue promises to tell us that, and more. The final issue of…
Five issues in and I know Killing Time is going to be a book I’ll genuinely enjoy re-reading once it’s complete. As much as I go back and forth on the little things that aren’t perfect about this series, I have to admit that I like it. I like it quite a bit. This issue…
When I received my copy of Poison Ivy #2, I was very cautious. I’m not saying the first issue was the best thing I’ve ever read in comics, but it was really a breath of fresh air-- in a day and age when comic book characters have gone through so many changes and mischaracterization-- to…
DC has been warned about their vampire problem since the New 52. As soon as Andrew Bennett was out of his toxic relationship, it was a matter of time before DC's overpowered vampires finally took over the world. Unsurprisingly, it only took six issues of the DC vs. Vampires series to do so. Now, issue…
Batman Beyond: Neo-Year #4 is primarily a fight issue, but uses that time to establish some themes around perception and fear. It's not a concept that the series has really played with until now, but it's one that is fitting for Batman. The question becomes how well the issue is able to tie that theme…
Eleven months and six issues later, Batman ‘89 has finally decided on a story. That’s been one of my main disappointments with the series to this point, in that it feels like it’s more a collection of loosely connected scenes without anything to tie it all together. Now, in the final issue, Sam Hamm has…
With the Shadow War done and wrapped, Damian has found himself reunited with his parents, and back in Gotham. Now that he’s patched things up with Bruce, will he stick around, or continue pushing forward to find himself? And just what lies in store for Talia now that she's turned herself in to the authorities?…
Over the past two issues of this arc we’ve seen the Riddler weave riddles over the airwaves and Gotham citizens committing crimes without a solid reason. Tied with it all, is the mystery of Judge Donovon and the first of these crimes: the bombing of her courtroom. With the arc wrapping up, will Batman finally…
Batman/Catwoman #12 delivers a satisfying conclusion for readers of this series as well as Tom King’s actual Batman run. It will not win over new readers or those who weren’t fans of King’s Batman to begin with, but for those still reading this often delayed series the final moments should prove heartwarming. Right off the…
I’m sorry, I can’t fool myself anymore. When I received my copy of this comic for this review, I felt absolutely no motivation to read it. I put it off for days working on other things. I tried to start it once only to put it aside again, almost immediately. Finally I sat down, glued…
