Joined by Essence, General Glory, and Saru the group must figure out a way to keep Trigon from rising again and destroying everything. This issue attempts to be a big explosive climax as…
“I understand that people have disagreed with me on my assessment of this series, but I hope I’ve been able to articulate how I feel about it; at least, well enough for people to understand where I’m coming from. While I’m still not a big fan, this issue gives me hope that I’ll have a…
After two months of basically non-stop action, Batman Beyond #45 smartly slows things down a bit and takes its time to properly set up the arc’s stakes and character motivations. While the last two issues were entertaining, Dan Jurgens’ script and character dynamics take a noticeable bump up in clarity and engagement. Also different is…
Those who’ve been reading my Detective Comics reviews already know how I feel about the Two-Face arc. But for those who came in late, here’s a recap: The arc started out strong with a focus on an internal struggle between the Two-Face and Harvey Dent personas, and there was the mystery of Two-Face’s cult that…
The Joker War comes spinning out of Batman and into the pages of Batgirl this month as Barbara Gordon comes face to face with Joker once again. I’m having trouble figuring out how to properly start this review. It attempts to be a ‘response’ to The Killing Joke, unfortunately, I don’t feel it was handled…
After what felt like months of build-up, we finally have “The Joker War” at our fingertips! I’ve been highly critical of Tynion’s run on Batman so far, so will this event do anything to change that trend? Find out below! The Story The Joker has set his master plan in motion! With the help of…
Haha, Batman looks funny in that picture. Anyway, would any of you mind if I copy-pasted what I said about this book last week? I joke, of course, but I can’t deny there’s going to be a lot of repetition here. This story covers some ground that has potential, at least conceptually… but I’m not…
Nightwing #72 isn’t the book to read if you’re looking for a great Dick Grayson story. There’s a new status quo going on here, not just for Dick himself, but for the series’ own identity. The “Joker War” has fully taken over Dan Jurgens and Ronan Cliquet’s Nightwing. With the Joker’s appearance fully upgraded from…
The first issue of Death Metal set quite a dark tone for the series. It promised a dark fantasy take on the DC Universe, and its aesthetic matched that tone well. This issue, however, breaks from the established tone and the story seems less focused because of it. Oh, and there is also that other…
The Teen Titans are still on the hunt for Brother Blood's killer. Feeling responsible for him and his fate, they've set to figuring out the mystery behind his death. As they investigate, what unsavory truths will come to light, and is Robin really bent on killing criminals now? The issue follows Robin as he tracks…
Before Ram V and Fernando Blanco take over the series proper in two months, we have a two-issue arc courtesy of writers Blake Northcott and Sean Gordon Murphy with art by Cian Tormey. While last month’s fill-in issue went high in the camp factor, Catwoman #23 feels like a love letter to 80s action exploitation…
Well, thank God for Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch for delivering a well-thought, meticulously planned Batman story that has actual stakes and consequences, and focuses on telling a good story rather than relying on shock value and gimmicks. The Story The Batman’s Grave has definitely been a slow burn, and there have been moments where…
And with that, Robert Venditti’s run on Justice League is over! …Yes, you’re right, that did happen last issue. I happened to not notice it, on account of reading the wrong solicitation for this issue. In my defense, it’s hard to tell at first. In the first issue of Simon Spurrier’s “The Rule”, Aaron Lopresti’s…
We’ve got another issue of Batman & the Outsiders, and I can’t help but feel that Bryan Hill and Dexter Soy are still spinning their wheels a little bit… The Story You all know that I’ve been a champion for Batman & the Outsiders, and that’s not changing. However, between last month’s issue, and this…
And the story of DCeased continues! This sequel is set five years after the original miniseries. At the end of the original, the surviving superheroes fled to Earth-2, and at the start of this sequel, some of those heroes have to return to the zombie-infested world from whence they came. As far as first chapters…
I am a fan of both Peter Tomasi and Brad Walker. Tomasi has written some of my all-time favorite comics and I always really appreciate Walker’s dynamic and upbeat art style. But…I really don’t like this issue. I don’t entirely blame that on the creative team, though—it’s this Joker War nonsense that completely interrupts a…
After hunting across Los Angeles in search of her best friend’s killer, Harley Quinn has finally learned the truth behind what happened to Alicia. At the root of everything was Granny Goodness, out to sew the seeds of despair in the world. Now, it’s up to Harley to stop her and avenge her friend’s death. …
Things are really starting to come together in Young Justice. Last month Bart revealed that the universe forgot about Conner, as a result of a reboot. Now it’s Conner’s turn to be there for Bart as he asks his friend just exactly how he knows all of this information. As someone who still reads mostly…
If James Tynion wanted people to take his run seriously, then this is definitely not the way to do it… I mean, I lost count of how many times I rolled my eyes while reading this... The Story I’m going to try my best to not sound like a broken record, but it’s going to…
Harley Quinn & the Birds of Prey #2 dropped, and just like the film, it’s a whole lot of Harley Quinn and very little Birds of Prey. But unlike the film, this book doesn’t try to hide that reality, and instead fully embraces it! Is this the right book for you though? That’s the real…
