3 on Nightwing #90 reviewNightwing #90 features yet another attempt on Dick Grayson’s life, courtesy of Blockbuster and the city officials who are in his pocket. While the narrative definitely spins its wheels with a third issue dedicated to attempts on Dick’s life, this one succeeds in upping the stakes by putting more civilians in harm’s way as ever.…
Catwoman #41 eliminates most misgivings I’ve had toward Tini Howard's and Nico Leon’s run to this point. While at times the narrative feels like it bites off more than it can chew, Howard’s script is well-paced, offers thoughtful introspection to less than savory characters, and features slick action sequences to keep the endeavor exciting. I’m…
For those out of the loop, Joker War was a mixed bag of a story wherein Joker destroys Arkham Asylum and murders most inmates and caretakers. Thankfully, you really don’t need to read Joker War to find out what happens to the few people that survived that story. Arkham City: The Order of the World…
Remember Endless Winter? The crossover from 2020 where the Justice League tried to prevent… well, an endless winter? You’d be forgiven if it slipped by you, because it came and went when Death Metal was still doing all sorts of craziness to the Multiverse, even if Endless Winter was actually a ton of fun in…
As much as I love Batman, I also love the entire DC Universe, and would consider myself a DC fan first and foremost. I'm just as likely to get excited about a Jimmy Olsen comic or something featuring Jack Kirby's Fourth World characters as I am something featuring Batman and his extended cast of characters,…
We’re getting closer to the conclusion of “Shadows of the Bat.” So far the event has been lackluster, to say the least, and it’s also been very expensive—you’ll end up spending a minimum of $60.88 if you’re buying the entire event in single issues! You can check out my brief breakdown of the price point…
With the Batgirls making headway into their investigation into Tutor last issue, will they finally catch him this time around? And what about all those other villains they keep tangling with, will they make any progress finding them this month? We’re four issues into Batgirls and honestly? It still doesn't feel like it knows what…
Now that we know who is behind A-day and everyone has arrived in Texas, it’s surely time for some answers regarding everything that’s been going on in Joker up until this point right? Right? In the fashion typical of Joker this issue does not pick up on Bane, Jim, or any of the characters it…
The Beginning One month ago, my good friend and colleague Jay Yaws released a beautiful article on the Little Caesars' Batman calzony. One of many promotional items for The Batman, Jay managed to get his hands on two of them-- and through the fearsome fireworks of savoury flavour he experienced, the man managed to write what…
The third and final act of “Shadows of the Bat” begins here. To those that came in late, you haven’t missed much, because so far we’ve only gotten the bare minimum of plot progression throughout the event. Hopefully that changes now that we’re getting closer to the conclusion, but I’m not feeling optimistic. And it…
I love heists, the Riddler, and a good old fashioned villain team up so of course I was going to at least check out Tom King’s newest mini-series, Killing Time. Focused on Batman’s early days, the story revolves around Riddler, Catwoman, and Penguin teaming up to participate in the heist of the century! And I…
When I first saw the cover for this issue a few months back, I braced myself to go on a tirade. Ghost-Maker? Really? I thought we were done with that guy. I'd hoped we were done with that guy. But no, there he is, right on the cover with Batman. Always striving to be as…
We're less than a week away from Batman's latest big-screen outing and you know what that means: lots and lots of merchandise. Given that McFarlane Toys have the DC license, of course they're going to make some sweet action figures based on the characters in the film, and they're offering quite a few different pieces…
One thing that Task Force Z has been doing well is juggling fun with poignancy without having those two elements clash. It’s also a book that consistently keeps the energy high and that keeps the plot moving. There’s always something going on in this story, and that’s more than I can say about certain other…
This is the last chapter of the second act of “Shadows of the Bat.” So far, barely anything interesting has happened in the story. It’s also a very expensive series. If you were to buy every single issue of this event, you will spend at least $60.88 (see my brief breakdown of the price point…
With the Lazarus Tournament over, and Mother Soul outmatched there isn't much left to do but wrap up the loose threads hanging around Robin and the rest of the tournament fighters. And what better way to do that than with a family reunion and party? Robin is one of those books that I love to…
Catwoman #40 is a step in the right direction after a shaky start to Tini Howard’s and Nico Leon’s tenure on the series. While Howard’s scripts have a tendency to be heavy on narration, the balance between exposition and action is much more even this time around, letting the series grow into itself as pieces…
Let’s take a look at some more McFarlane figures, this time for some characters that are based on all different types of source material: two completely different versions of Superman from the comics, a Flash from a movie, another (Reverse) Flash that’s generally faithful to the comics, and a Wonder Woman design that has sprung…
Growing up in the 2000’s and 2010’s, I lived in worship of the DC animated movies. Superman: Doomsday, Under the Red Hood, Justice League: The New Frontier - these were all movies that I held in such high regard as a child, as did every other DC fan that I knew. Shoutout to Green Lantern:…
You know, realistically I should be grateful for this arc. Contrary to what I expected, this was not a continuation of the story told in the Justice League Dark backups: a story which, while I loved, ended on a cliffhanger that currently has no planned resolution. Bendis seems to almost completely ignore that - instead focusing…
