16 on DC Showcase - Batman: Death in the Family reviewYour turn to make the decisions. And decisions have consequences. Batman: Death in the Family is now available everywhere from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment -- on Blu-ray Combo Pack and Digital. Batman: Death in the Family, WBHE’s first-ever venture into interactive storytelling, allows fans to choose where the story goes through an innovative navigation guided…
Before you pick up this issue, you should be aware that it helps to read Trinity Crisis #1, as it explains where our heroes are in this issue. Frankly, I think that Trinity Crisis should really have been a core issue of Death Metal rather than a tie-in, as it is an important chapter. However,…
Peter Tomasi’s Detective Comics run has been a lot of fun, for the most part. The quality dipped when that “Joker War” nonsense blatantly interrupted Tomasi’s story. Now that “Joker War” is behind us, I’m crossing my fingers that Tomasi can just do his own thing again, as that is what made his run so…
You know how I’ve spent most of “Joker War” complaining about nothing happening? Well, when you get down to it, that remains true even in this final issue. If you’re looking for a bloated story with absolutely no stakes, no direction, and no actual plot or payoff, then Joker War is the story for you.…
In 1902, British author W. W. Jacobs published a collection of short stories entitled The Lady of the Barge: twelve different tales that predominantly focused on the horror genre. In this collection lay a tale called The Monkey’s Paw: an iconic supernatural story about a family who gain the mummified hand of a monkey, which…
Last month’s issue was incredible! It set a high bar for this series, and at the time I thought it was the best issue of DCeased. In this issue our heroes set out to meet with the New Gods as they quest for a cure. But what trouble will they get themselves into this time?…
In the penultimate issue of Young Justice Wonder Girl at last takes center stage. Last month she came to the team for help, this month we get to find out just what’s going on. Out of the original Young Justice team Cassie is the character I know the least about. When I’d started reading this…
It’s been a hot minute since we’ve gotten an issue of Harley Quinn & the Birds of Prey, but this issue definitely delivers and is a blast to read! The Story When it was announced that Harley Quinn & the Birds of Prey would reunite Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti with Harley, I was excited!…
Dark Nights: Death Metal: Multiverses End. Damn… That’s a mouthful. With a title like that, it should be a fair warning to stay away. And honestly, you might want to stay away because this is not good. The Story James Tynion. I think, by now, it’s pretty clear that his writing style doesn’t jive with…
When a body is found in the Hall of Justice the Justice League are faced with a challenge even they might not come out of if they don't work together! How did someone get in? Who is this person? And can the group figure it out before the whole Hall turns against them? Hey guys!…
I’m having mixed feelings about this annual. I like the opening scene: we see two fifth dimensional imp kids playing with Batman and Superman action figures, arguing about which of these two heroes would win in a fight. Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite show up to stop the kids from arguing. The artwork is quite good during…
WARNING: There’s no way around it – this review is going to contain heavy spoilers. It’s no secret that I’ve been incredibly excited for this book. As someone who grew up with Geoff Johns’ Justice League run – it’s honestly a big part of what motivated me to get into comics at all – Three…
Batman: The Joker War Zone features five separate tales showing moments of what’s going on in Gotham during the larger events of the Joker War going on over in Batman and associated Bat titles. The idea is to give a feel for what the other heroes and villains of Gotham are doing during the Joker’s…
After a short break to cross over with Joker War, the story returns to the Chamber of the All to finally wrap up Jason's latest adventure against the Untitled, now featuring two sets of Outlaws! The story picks up where issue #47 left off, with the old team of Roy, Starfire, and Jason rescuing the…
I’m seeing quite a bit of praise for Suicide Squad #9 because of the shocking conclusion… Meanwhile, I’m over here like, “Umm… Did you not see the barrage of media spoiling this issue a little while back? I mean, if you work in comics, there’s no way you missed it.” So, no, I didn’t find…
You know, those of you who follow me on Twitter (so like, two people), know that I’m pretty unhappy with my day job. While living in a quiet corner of Australia has meant I avoided most of the COVID crisis, being an essential worker is plenty stressful and frustrating – even on a regular day.…
The recent DC solicitations for December announced that Dan Jurgens’ Batman Beyond will end with issue #50. With that knowledge in hand, Batman Beyond #47 feels a little out of the series’ normal wheelhouse. Our heroes are far away from Neo-Gotham and find themselves in space trying to take out a dangerous space station run…
Batgirl #49 dives headfirst into having the Gordons investigate the murder of a Batgirl as well as continues to explore their current, highly dysfunctional, relationships. I’m going to come right out and say that I did not enjoy this issue. The more I’ve looked at it to write this review, the more frustrated I’ve become…
This is the first issue of the new “Planet Brainiac” arc in Batman/Superman. For those who are looking to get into this series, this could be your jumping-on point. But the question is whether or not it’s going to be worth it, because, so far, this series hasn't been great. So let’s see what this…
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch continue to deliver solid work with The Batman’s Grave. The Story The Batman’s Grave #10 continues to pull all of the various plot threads together as Batman sets his sights on Scorn to bring him down. I’ve seen readers complain that…
