  • Harley Quinn Fartacular: Silent Butt Deadly #1 review

    Well here it is, the comic that everyone's been waiting for. Absolute Batman? Who's that? H2SH? Never heard of it. No, this is what got the whole world talking, far beyond just the usual comic book circles. The responses seemed to range from disbelief to mockery to disgust. I'm sure on some level, DC knew…


  • JazzInc 1/6 scale 1989 Batmobile review

    Two years ago, I was about to lay down over $700 on the beautiful Hot Toys Sixth Scale 1989 Batmobile. I always wanted this thing as the centerpiece of my collection and had waited patiently for a re-release so I could avoid the high markup everyone on eBay was asking me to pay for the…


  • Batman & Robin: Year One #6 review

    In classic Batman '66 style, our last issue ended with a Boy Wonder in peril, and a Batman needing to rescue him. I must say, so far I am loving this series. My first concerns about having too much in the story were calmed very quickly and since then, I've just been enjoying the ride. The story's…


  • Catwoman #74 review

    Ladies, gentlemen, non-binary friends…it’s finally happened. An issue of Catwoman where we get to experience the rare phenomenon of plot progression as this issue finally starts to utilize all the plot points this series has acquired so far. Does it do it well? The story opens with the death of one of Selina’s old acquaintances…


  • DC x Sonic The Hedgehog #1 review

    The Blue Blur meets The Scarlet Speedster, The Ultimate Life Form meets The Caped Crusader, The Strongest Thing Alive meets The Man of Steel! As you may have guessed, this week marks the first of the 5 issue DC x Sonic The Hedgehog series. While I haven't read any Sonic comics before, I'm a massive fan of the 2d…


  • Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #37 review

    Two cities at war, lost love reignited, a magic conspiracy, and on top of all that a villainous plant monster orchestrating it all. You almost think it'd be too much to cover in only three issues. Sadly, you'd probably be right. Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #37 wraps up the team up arc with Aquaman, and it…


  • Detective Comics #1095 review

    After last month's detour into the depths of the juvenile detention system, the story returns to the ongoing Asema mystery and the ethical question of who deserves to live or die. With still a few issues left before everything resolves, this issue brings us a small step closer to the identity of the Asema serial…


  • Absolute Batman #6 review

    With this issue, Scott Snyder wraps up the first arc of his wildly popular Absolute Batman series. DC has to be happy with how the entire Absolute line has been turning out, but this title particularly has dominated the sales charts since it debuted. At first glance, it'd easy to write it off as a…


  • Nightwing #124 review

    Dick Grayson is fighting an uphill battle against corruption in Dan Watters' Nightwing #124. Despite brokering an uneasy peace, a mad arms dealer instigates a war between the gangs and the Blüdhaven police. To make matters worse, Nightwing risks his life to help the gangs by any means. This includes taking it upon himself to…


  • The Question: All Along the Watchtower #5 review

    The Question: All Along the Watchtower #5 is a collection of cliches with the Question’s blank mask slapped on top of it. All right, review over. Recommended If —---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *gets an email from the editor “What?” *a few angry back-and-forths later “Fine, I’ll write an actual review.” —------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This series has been extremely disappointing to…


  • Batman and Robin #19 Review

    Memento is still on the loose and continues to wreak havoc in Gotham. And it doesn’t help that Batman is still feeling the effects of the Gravedigger’s Poppy toxin and that Damian doesn’t want to be Robin anymore. Batman is also suspicious of Damian’s mentor at Sacred Heart, Dr. Bashar, as he believes Dr. Bashar…


  • DC vs Vampires: World War V #7 review

    After an interlude focusing on how Vampire Diana and Green Lantern Alfred deal with living in this new world, we’re back to the main story where a three-way conflict between the vampires, the humans, and a newly introduced third party of Darkseid and his forces. The situation is poised to be extremely chaotic and, dare…


  • Batman: Full Moon #4 review

    The end is nigh! The end of Batman: Full Moon, that is. Bruce Wayne is a werewolf, Zatanna and Constantine are here, and now they're going to search for a cure. There have been some up and down moments for me in this book but I'd say I've enjoyed it overall. Let's hope this last issue…


  • Birds of Prey #19 review

    We’re here at the tail end of Divide & Conquer which only had two parts but still managed to be a really enjoyable read! I’ve criticized Kelly Thompson for being much weaker at these shorter stories but this is definitely an exception! So while our super heroines are split apart and finishing their battles we…


  • Two-Face #4 review

    Confronted with the shocking truth about the Shadow Hand, Harvey retreats into the trippy confines of his mind. Consequently, "Good Harvey" and "Bad Harvey" have their long awaited face to face. At least, if you buy into Harvey's deep psychological dissociation. In any case, Christian Ward seizes the opportunity to explore Tw0-Face's life-long victimization from…


  • Batgirl #5 Review

  • Batman: The Long Halloween – The Last Halloween #5 Review

    After taking a month off, The Last Halloween is back with issue #5. Batman is now back to investigating into the mystery surrounding these new copycat Holiday shootings. He’s still recovering from being shot by Mario Falcone and now a wild card has entered the game… The Joker! How will the Clown Prince of Crime…


  • Detective Comics #1094 review

    In the United States, over 25,000 children are currently held in juvenile detention facilities. For many, this can be a life-altering experience and be the start of a cycle of incarceration that will last throughout their lives. "Jackson", I hear you say, "why are you talking about this? Aren't you supposed to be reviewing a…


  • Little Batman: Month One #4 review

    It's hard being the one and only son of the Batman. In the first month since the events of Merry Little Batman, Damian has struggled with work/life balance. Especially considering how useless he considers his secret identity to be.  Now, with his father kidnapped by Scarecrow, Little Batman must use both sides of himself to…


  • Justice League Unlimited #4 review

    Last time on Justice League Unlimited, the organization known as Inferno kept true to its name and set another fire for the League to put out. Can our expanded roster put an end to their dastardly schemes? Find out in this week’s review of Justice League Unlimited #4!!! I consider myself a bit of a…
