5 on Justice League: Last Ride #7 reviewThose who’ve been keeping up with my Last Ride reviews know that I’ve been critical of this series. There were a number of elements I’ve disliked—most prominently Superman’s characterization. The penultimate issue, which came out last month, was a little more to my liking. But can the creative team stick the landing with this finale?…
Generally speaking, I don’t think that “Batman” and “Realistic” match very well, because, to me, Batman is anything but realistic. That said, a good creative team should be able to take this concept and turn it into a good story. The Imposter #1 was an excellent issue, so what about #2? Let’s have a look.…
Last month we got to know Lady Bane, aka Vengeance, a little better. She has broken away from her handlers, but still has a goal to kill Joker, and offers to do it for Jim. After accepting her offer to kill the Joker for him, they took off for the island where Joker’s currently hiding…
When you look at the origins for the world's most famous superheroes, it's easy to talk in broad strokes. With Batman, we know young Bruce Wayne watched as his parents were murdered in an alley, prompting him to wage a war on crime. For Superman, you have a doomed planet, desperate scientists, last hope, and…
Everyone… Stop what you’re doing. We finally get some plot progression in James Tynion’s Batman. I repeat, we’re getting some plot progression in “Fear State!” Granted, it’s not great, but at least it’s something… The previous issue ended with the Magistrate invading Queen Ivy’s underground sanctuary, and as expected, this version of Ivy isn’t going…
I’ve been rather vocal about my opinion of Batman since James Tynion has taken over. Simply put, I’m not a fan. There has been a shining light as of late though, and that has been the incredible art of Jorge Jimenez with Tomeu Morey’s colors. Unfortunately, for this issue, Jimenez shares art duties with Bengal.…
DC Comics have one of the richest and most iconic stables of heroes in all of fiction. For every Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and Flash, there's also a Nightwing, Vixen, Hawkman, Black Canary, Green Lantern, Mister Miracle, and Big Barda. And that's just a handful of recognizable names I pulled off the top of…
I love comics. I also love toys that are based on comics. If they're toys that are based on a particular comic, then all the better, and McFarlane Toys have us spoiled with some of the offerings today. We've got two different Batman figures from two different comic series, two Jokers to accompany one of…
When I saw the original announcement for Dark Knights of Steel I was incredibly excited. I mean DC comics meets Dungeons and Dragons? Batman as a literal knight? Those teaser pages with his Robins? The variant cover by Yasmine Putri featuring Clark and a D&D style character sheet? Also just Yasmine Putri on art? Written…
It's the Dynamic Duo—that is, Batman and Killer Croc—against the deadly rampaging reptilian! Who will win? Can Batman and Croc escape with lives—and loins—in tact? Find out, in Batman: Reptilian #5! What else is there to say? Judging by the comments on my reviews for this series, you either really like this book, or you really…
On A-Day, Arkham Asylum got destroyed and a lot of villains got killed. Some of those villains—Bane, Man-Bat and Arkham Knight—were turned into zombies and recruited into Task Force Z, a team led by Red Hood. I wasn’t sure what to expect of this title going into it, but it surprised me. So let’s have…
Ah, Injustice. Will you never cease to haunt me? I absolutely LOVED this game back in 2013. I mean, a fighting game where I can play as Green Lantern, Superman, and all my other DC favorites that WASN'T Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe?!?!? Absolutely insane. I still remember getting home from the summer camp where I had read…
If my previous review went to show how diverse McFarlane’s palate is in regards to DC in different mediums, this one goes a step further to show how many different characters they’re aiming to represent from the comics. We have a single Batman character, a few DC heroes, and several of McFarlane’s pride and joy…
Happy Halloween, guys! I figured I'd take a little more time to sit on this review and upload it at an appropriate moment - especially considering its release was only a few days away from this very special occasion. What are you guys doing for your spooky celebrations? While you think about that, I'd like…
With over eighty years of history, and a presence across multiple mediums, DC Comics has a deep, deep well of characters and content to merchandise. You can pull from comics, movies, TV, video games, and even books and radio shows and still barely scratch the surface of all they have to offer. And it’s a…
The Lazarus tournament is in full swing as is Damian’s investigation into the secrets behind the island and Mother Soul. With the tension high, and mysteries piling higher, will we get some answers this issue? And how will Damian fair in this leg of the tournament? You know those books you read that make you…
Team RWBY and the Justice League have come together to battle Starro. Their goal: to free their friends, the others being controlled, and the world. In this final issue how will they win the day? Let’s see. I have to say it, I was so disappointed by this series. My hopes were high starting out,…
Rather than forcing a connection to the “Fear State” story in Batman, Tamaki, Mora and Bellaire continue to do their own thing with Tec. This means that you can avoid Batman altogether and enjoy Detective Comics by itself, which is greatly appreciated. And now, without further ado, let’s have a look! Sometimes you pick up…
No matter how you look at James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, I don't think there's any doubt that Bloodsport was one of the highlights. Personally, I loved the movie and felt it had many, many highlights, but get a charismatic and likable actor like Idris Elba in a role and you've got guaranteed gold. And…
Come gather round, readers, for I have a tale to tell about a Batman action figure. Some say it may be the greatest Batman action figure, though who can know for sure? Well, based on my experience, it could very well be the greatest Batman figure ever crafted. At the very least, the greatest Batman…
