  • The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #5 Review

    Okay okay okay. I need to start this review by talking about the first page of this issue because if I don't get it out right now I'm going to spend the whole review gushing about this joke. Vinnie Letterio. The Fontz. VINNIE. LETTERIO. THE FONTZ. The setup. The execution. It's perfect. It's literally perfect.…


  • Justice League: Last Ride #4 review

    This series is slowly growing on me. Every issue reveals more about what’s going on and I’m beginning to understand the story better. As such, I think this will read better in trade, because then the story’s momentum won’t be interrupted by a whole month of waiting for the next installment and everything can be…


  • Detective Comics #1041 review

    I’ve been critiquing this series quite a bit, but that doesn’t mean that I don’t find it entertaining. On the contrary, I’m always looking forward to more Dan Mora and Jordie Bellaire art! To me, they are DC’s best art team at the moment and it’s a real treat that they’re on Detective Comics. But what…


  • Challenge of the Super Sons #5 review

    Last month we got caught up on what's going on present day as the Super Sons tangled with Vandal Savage and rushed off to rescue another League member. With the list of heroes left to save dwindling and the boys not so secret antics starting to leave a trail, just what is in store for…


  • Batman ‘89 #1 review

    Let me be real here: the current state of Batman comics has left me wanting for quite some time now.  There’s a whole lot of Batman content out there, but more often than not it seems like it’s quantity over quality. There are a few gems here and there, to be sure, as The Batman…


  • Batman: Urban Legends #6 review

    Before we even dive into the contents of this issue, I think we can all agree that the cover from Nicola Scott and Annette Kwok is absolutely aces.  Batman and Red Hood facing off in the foreground while their classic counterparts rush forward in the background?  Gorgeous work. If only the contents inside matched the…


  • Suicide Squad: Get Joker #1 review

    DC’s delivers another Black Label Batman story (they should just call it Bat Label at this point), and this story is brought to you by Brian Azzarello and Alex Maleev. The lead-up to this book’s release has been an interesting one. There’s the obvious idea that this is potentially just a cash grab in an…


  • Batman #111 review

    Well, folks…. We’ve got a James Tynion Batman issue that I enjoyed. No, hell has not frozen over. It was bound to happen (and it has happened before), but Batman #111 is probably my favorite issue that Tynion has offered up. It should also come as no surprise that there really isn’t much Batman in…


  • Justice League #66 review

    If I'm being honest, there's not much to say this week. The latest issue of Justice League Dark isn't a slow one, per se - but I find myself a little less enthralled by it than I am by previous issues thus far. That's mainly because, despite the exciting action and beautiful visuals on display,…


  • Justice League Infinity #2 review

    Previously on Justice League Infinity: in his search for meaning at the edge of the universe, Amazo broke something fundamental, causing the Superman of Earth-12 to be replaced by Overman (a.k.a. Nazi Supes). Will issue #2 keep up the goodwill established by the first? Keep reading to find out. ART While maybe not as out…


  • Suicide Squad #6 Review

    Sugar. Spice. And everything nice. These are the ingredients that were conspicuously missing from the first 4 issues of Robbie Thompson's Suicide Squad. These past two issues seem to have accidentally added all of them, as well as a good helping of... CHEMICAL (Task Force) X Or maybe just some entertaining writing, who knows? Let's take a…


  • Crime Syndicate #6 Review

    I'm going to start off my review for this last issue of Crime Syndicate the way that I started off my review of the first issue: I. LOVE. Alternate. Universes. From the second this series was announced, I knew that, no matter how the actual quality turned out, I was going to have a blast. Lucky for me,…


  • The Joker Presents: A Puzzlebox #1 review

    When this book was first announced, I thought to myself, “Oh…another Joker story…” Initially, this didn’t pique my interest at all and I kind of forgot about it. Then we had to figure out who was going to review this title, and I decided to read the comic and see what this was even about,…


  • Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two review

    I have a genuine question for everyone reading this: Do you think The Long Halloween is a good mystery? I'm not necessarily asking if you like the book or not. Loeb and Sale's classic is a lot of things, but shallow is not one of them - so there are plenty of reasons to enjoy…


  • Batman Secret Files: Huntress #1 review

    We all know that I was excited about this book, right? It’s no secret that Huntress is my favorite character, so naturally, I was looking forward to this issue. And, if I’m being honest, I feel like Tamaki has done a decent job with Huntress in the pages of Detective Comics, so I was curious…


  • Teen Titans Academy #5 review

    Previously in Teen Titans Academy, we got another gimmicky issue! Will Teen Titans Academy #5 be any less gimmick and more, you know, story? Or even, gasp, character? In a shocking turn of events, yes, actually. Read on to find out more. ART Steven Lieber is back for another go-around with the Bat Pack and…


  • Checkmate #2 Review

    Almost all of my fears have been assuaged. Where Checkmate #1 was a bloated, oddly paced mess of setup and thread-hanging, the sophomore issue of this miniseries is nothing but pure character driven fun. I was absolutely worried that Bendis was going to take this new mini and use it as an outlet for more Event…


  • Batman/Superman #20 review

    All right, folks, Reis is back on art duties! Look, I’ve been singing this book’s praises since the start of this arc, and I’m going to continue doing just that in this review. So let’s just get right into it! Of all the DC books that I’ve been reading, this one is easily the most…


  • Detective Comics #1040 review

    The previous issue, which was also intended as the first arc’s finale, was disappointing. It didn’t feel like a true finale, but rather like a middle-of-the-road chapter, as it left too many plot threads unresolved. Hopefully this second arc will be better overall, because I want this run to be successful! This chapter is mainly…


  • Robin #4 review

    After a rough attempt at fitting in, and an even rougher fight with Conner Hawke Damian’s found himself face to face with none other than his grandfather, Ra’s al Ghul! Just what does the Demon’s Head have in store for him, and is Damian ready to learn? Let’s see.  When I say this book constantly…
