13 on Justice League #53 reviewAlright, full disclosure: I hate Dark Nights: Death Metal. I hate Dark Nights: Death Metal. I’m not blaming anyone in particular for why I hate it – I’ve heard enough about the industry by now to know that even finishing a comic book on time is something of a thermodynamic miracle. But whether I attribute…
Detective Comics #1027 is an anthology to celebrate that this is Batman’s 1000th appearance in this title. Seeing as this book has over 100 pages and this review turned out longer than usual, I'm going to cut this intro short and jump straight into the review proper. Let’s have a look! "BLOWBACK" The first story…
While the last two issues of Catwoman were a fun enough diversion, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the start to Ram V and Fernando Blanco’s run beginning with this week’s Catwoman #25. Is it unfortunate that the first issue of their ongoing run is a Joker War tie in? Sure, but V does a great job…
The Teen Titans are over, disbanded by Batman. Even so, they still have one last challenge to face: dealing with the fallout from the failed secret prison, and their own guilt in being a part of it all. With two issues to go, I feel like the story should focus most of its attention on…
Batman #99 is supposed to be the penultimate issue of “Joker War,” but there’s nothing worthy of that classification. All this issue really is, are bloated exposition, villainous grandstanding, nonsensical speeches, and more regurgitation. The Story Oh boy, where do I start? Half of this issue is nothing more than the Joker having some ridiculous…
In most detective stories, there’s normally a point in the second act where the protagonist is reprimanded by a higher authority – on account of a crucial mess-up they might have made. Maybe the loose canon got too rough with a suspect, or the alcoholic private eye let his drinking get in the way of…
Considering this is the second-to-last issue of Batman & the Outsiders, I expected things to move pretty quickly… But I didn’t expect them to move this fast! The Story Batman & the Outsiders #16 delivers what we’ve been waiting for since the very beginning: the final battle with Ra’s al Ghul. While the confrontation itself…
There’s going to be a lot of talk about Nightwing #74 regardless of whether or not it’s actually a quality book. It marks a new status quo for Dick and the Bat Family, while apparently severing ties with many things that came along with the Ric saga. While I think there’s a lot of promise…
Despite being somewhat critical of Death Metal, I was enjoying the series. However, in my opinion the overall quality of the series has been going down. The fact that DC has announced an overabundance of tie-in issues doesn’t help, especially not when the tie-ins that are already out haven’t been great. This event is unfocused,…
Alright, this is getting silly at this point. Justice League #52 is now the third pseudo-sequel to Alan Moore’s work that I’ve reviewed in a row! With this, Three Jokers and everything going on with Watchmen, you’d think DC is just desperate to milk every dollar they can from the jaded magician after hurting him…
DCeased has been such a fun ride, and it’s impressive how Taylor and his artists have mostly been able to maintain a high level of quality. These stories are fast-paced, concise, emotional and action-packed, and even though I was somewhat critical of earlier issues in the original series, it seems like this story is just…
This month Young Justice takes a break from stories featuring the full team and focuses on just two characters. Stephanie Brown and Tim Drake, team up to go after Spoiler’s nemesis (and dad), Cluemaster. The book starts out with Drake joining Spoiler in Central City, but quickly switches to Stephanie explaining how they got to…
Dear God, this is one wordy, mess of a book that tries way too hard to create a moment… It’s clear that I’m not a fan of James Tynion’s Batman. I just don’t feel that the quality of execution is there. That’s me. I know many people don’t share my sentiments, and that is ok.…
For months now, I’ve praised Suicide Squad as being one of the best in-continuity books hitting shelves for DC Comics. While that sentiment remains, this chapter is easily one of the weakest in the run. It was recently announced that this iteration of Suicide Squad would end with issue #11. Feel sudden? Yeah, I agree.…
It’s safe to say Dan Jurgens’ Batman Beyond is back on track. Any hint of Terry’s amnesia is long gone, Elainna is fully situated as Batwoman, and the book has regained an ensemble cast which Jurgens thrives with in the Beyond universe. Batman Beyond #46 keeps that momentum going with excellent character dynamics, fantastic art,…
I am still not a fan of the “Joker War” event. The main Batman title isn’t very enjoyable for me, and as I’ve explained in previous reviews, the way that it has blatantly interrupted an arc in Detective Comics is rather annoying, to say the least. On the bright side, Tomasi and Rocafort are the…
After a confrontation with Joker, Barbara Gordon has to deal with lingering stress over the fight, and figure out what to do now that she’s removed her implant. To top things off, James Jr. is back, and seemingly wants to try to mend their relationship. This issue, while dealing with the fallout of Barbara’s face…
This is the conclusion of the “Atomic” arc and, to be honest, I’m glad that it’s over. I haven’t been enjoying this title in general, but this arc in particular has been such a chore for me. So I’ll keep this review brief and to the point. Let’s have a look. First of all, there…
This month Red Hood: Outlaw steps away from it’s main story to cross over with what’s going on in Batman during the Joker War. It features Jason alone as he joins the fight to take the city back from Joker. I’m always surprised when books totally change what they’ve been doing to fit into an…
Teen Titans second annual reads more like another normal issue as it continues the story going on in the main title, and at last shows the confrontation between Batman and the Teen Titans. I was ready to hate this book. I had all kinds of thoughts and fears about how it was going to turn…
