3 on DCeased: Dead Planet #6 reviewDCeased as a whole has had its ups and downs. There have been outstanding moments, and there have been certain creative choices that I disagree with. Still, I’ve enjoyed this series…up until this point. I’m afraid that the creative team has lost me. I just wasn’t enjoying this issue. For starters, I’m not a fan…
Pennyworth season 2 is finally about to begin on Epix, and it's all-out war in England. When last we saw Alfred Pennyworth (Jack Bannon), he had just killed his father as he was trying to assassinate the Queen while acting as an agent of the Raven Society. Now it's somewhere over a year later, and…
When looking for high-quality collectibles, there's hardly a name that earns more reverence and awe than Sideshow. Largely seen as the gold standard, the crème de la crème of figures and collectibles, Sideshow has a sterling reputation that is matched only by its exclusivity. Not meant to be a slight in any way, but their…
There's a pretty popular joke about online recipes that I'm sure you've heard: before the author of said recipe actually shares the ingredient list and steps to make the specified dish, they write hundreds of words about their history with the recipe, their travels around the world to discover such a culinary delight, or their…
We’ve reached the end of Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo’s Suicide Squad! Does the creative team deliver a satisfying conclusion or does the book crash and burn on its way out? Find out below! Despite stating otherwise in interviews, there’s no way that DC – or Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo’s for that matter –…
Batman and Superman created an AI program to stop villains, but for some reason this program decided that in order to figure out how to stop them, it would have to become a villain itself. It has created a Composite Superman/Batman robot to accomplish this goal, and our heroes have to find a way to…
This week’s Detective Comics is yet another example of Tomasi’s ability to write strong characters. We see this on the opening pages, as Nakano is being visited by The Mirror, who tries to get Nakano to side with him. However, Nakano straight up tells Mirror that he has no interest in “having [the election] being…
Batman Beyond #49 doesn’t reinvent the wheel when it comes to time travel plotlines and while my hopes for a more in depth examination into Terry’s relationship with his father and Bruce weren’t fully realized, this month’s issue still delivers a mostly satisfying ending for this two-part story. There’s an endearing throwback vibe for this…
The Death Metal side stories have been a mix of issues that feel critical to the larger story, and those that could be considered fluff or window dressing on the whole event. The Multiverse Who Laughs falls squarely into that second category. It is another anthology, and packed with 5 different stories of “worlds gone…
I’ve been looking forward to issue #51 of Red Hood for a while now. The appeal of seeing a new creative team take over the title was exciting enough, and now that I’ve read it I cannot wait to see where it goes. This issue works best in how it sets up the series going…
This is not an easy book to review. I think there’s a lot that Criminal Sanity – written by Kami Garcia and illustrated by Mico Suayan and Jason Badower – has going for it. This is especially true for those new to the crime genre, looking for a way to enter the field through characters…
Batman #103 can be deceiving. The front half of the story contains some fast-paced entertaining action, which can make you think this is a solid book. But the moment you actually pay attention to what’s taking place, you realize that there’s a quality issue that will ultimately become pretty damning to the remainder of the…
…Argh. I’m going to try making this quick, because I don’t want to linger on this for too long. For the past several issues of Justice League, I’ve been having a great time reviewing the title. From The Garden of Mercy to Doom Metal, the comic has recently pivoted away from high-octane action, focusing more…
Catwoman #27 is monumental. No, there’s no major event in this issue. There’s no new character introduced that speculators will buy up in hopes to make a profit. There’s just twenty-two pages of confident, enthralling, and downright beautiful storytelling on display. Ram V and Fernando Blanco have been firing on all cylinders in this series…
Nightwing #76 addresses a number of interesting themes that fit perfectly with Nightwing’s current identity crisis plotline. Jurgens touches upon the juxtaposition of the mundane and superhero as well as the ability for these two worlds to exist with one another. Bea and Dick’s relationship is a highlight of Jurgens’ run, however, the plot takes…
Here we are, at the end of another Teen Titans run. It’s a weird time in comics right now, as we wait on events to wrap up, new ones to start, and look for news about what might happen in the wake of all these cancelled titles. For Teen Titans however, this looks like less…
So far, Death Metal has been hit or miss for me. The artwork throughout has been outstanding: I love all the character designs and the overall death metal-inspired aesthetic. I also like that there is this looming threat against the multiverse and that Wonder Woman is leading the heroes in an effort to overcome this…
Tec is back on track. I said so in my last review, and I think that’s still the case here. While last issue focused more on introducing characters, stakes and story-threads, issue #1030 has more of a focus on character work that builds upon the stakes and story-threads from #1029. It makes for a really…
You know, Punchline is a character that I really want to like, but every time I try to dive further into the character, I find myself disliking her more and more. And I don’t mean in a “she’s such a good bad guy that I dislike her” sort of way. No, that would be a…
There’s a certain amount of silliness that’s inherent in various bits of popular culture. Comic books, for one, have a level of ridiculousness that we just accept so that we can proceed to enjoy the characters and stories. I mean, take a guy and dress him in a cape and tights and that’s goofy. Take…
