6 on Justice League #47 reviewI genuinely don’t know what to think of the conclusion to Robert Venditti’s “Cold War” arc. I’ve sat with it a while, and I’m still not really sure about it. It’s not that the ending is particularly mind-boggling, or even particularly bad; really, this issue is about the same level of quality as the rest…
This month, the Suicide Squad heads to Gotham City as they continue to flee Ted Kord and a horde of assassins and mercenaries. And when you enter the city of the Dark Knight, you’re bound to run into him… So, how interesting is it that this – of all the issues to date – is…
Unable to face what they did as a team and the darkness of Mercy hall, the Teen Titans have broken up. Each has gone their separate ways and intended on keeping it that way. Will the murder of one of their former enemies be enough to bring them back together? With the way the Djinn…
Batman Beyond #44 is the biggest burst of energy the series has had in a while. Dan Jurgens’ script sheds itself of any mystery and places all of the cards on the table. For too long the series struggled to maintain any sense of momentum due to characters infighting, having amnesia, or keeping their identity…
When last we joined Batgirl she was investigating Dasha Berlova, and had just interrupted an illegal experiment Dasha was performing on kidnapped people, trying to fuse them with living gold. While investigating, Batgirl ran into Batwoman and the KG Beast. Now they’ve all come together for one final face off. Generally, this issue is quite…
Batman: The Killer Smile is a one-shot epilogue to the excellent three-issue miniseries, Joker: Killer Smile, so if you haven’t read the miniseries, this epilogue probably won’t make a lot of sense to you. As great as I think this comic is, The Smile Killer is not a comic that stands on its own as…
Now led by the possessed General Glory, the Untitled’s plans are in full swing as they’ve successfully opened a portal to the Chamber of the All! While Essence and Artemis are still across the city, Jason and Bizzaro are already on site, having witnessed it opening themselves. It’s up to the team to stop the…
You know, it is quite telling when the story of a potential story that’s told inside your story sounds way more interesting than the story you’re actually telling… Wait, did you follow that? I said “story” a lot. The Story I’m just going to come out and say it… I did not like this issue.…
(Bear with me for the following monologue; this is all relevant, I promise. I’ll signpost when the actual review begins.) It might surprise you to know that DC Comics is actually a person. That’s right! It’s easy to think that a comic book company is but a mere faceless conglomerate: a simple groaning limb of…
What? We’re reviewing The Flash at Batman News? Why? Well, it’s because the Suicide Squad is guest-starring in this issue, and… No, never mind. Just that. It’s because of the squad. Blame them, specifically Captain Boomerang. The Story There were many thoughts running through my head after reading The Flash Annual #3, and none of…
If there’s anything noteworthy about Nightwing Annual #3 is that readers finally get to see the titular character in all his glory. Now of course we only get that privilege since the majority of this issue is a flashback, but it’s nonetheless a very welcome sight. That’s where the positive aspects of this annual end. Writer…
I am a fan of the original Metal. I like how epic and cosmic it got, and it was incredibly entertaining. Even though I was rather critical of its conclusion, I did run to my LCS to grab the hardcover when it came out. I am also a fan of metal music. So, naturally, I’ve…
At long last it’s time to figure out just what happened to Conner Kent and why everyone’s memories have been foggy! The whole Young Justice team (plus some) have come together to confront Dr. Glory and find out the truth, and yes this time we do actually get some answers! As a quick catch up…
Last month, Ra’s al Ghul leveled Lady Shiva’s childhood home using alien technology – technology that he threatened to use to harm the Outsiders should they try to interfere with his plans. Naturally, the Outsiders are going to join together to stop him, right? Right? Well, eventually, yeah… But for this issue, they’re going to…
We’re just past the halfway point, and The Batman’s Grave is really starting to pick up some momentum! I think it’s fair to say that I’ve been relatively patient with The Batman’s Grave concerning its pacing. If any other book reached the halfway point and hadn’t really picked up by now, I’d probably be destroying…
What do you guys like out of a Justice League story? I’m genuinely curious. Do you want a huge, sprawling adventure with high stakes and intense character drama? Do you want smaller stories with less pressure, allowing the characters to breathe? Do you prioritise any of these aspects in particular? What does the Justice League…
Whenever we get a copy of Batman Secret Files, it’s usually a gamble on whether or not we’ll get more than one good story. Unlike these epic, anniversary issues, DC doesn’t really pull in their top talent for this. They just use it as an opportunity to showcase some of the up-and-coming talent – especially…
So, I might be a little tired of the Joker right now. That’s saying something too; I love the Joker. He’s probably my favourite Batman villain. I know it’s a very basic choice, but it’s well-warranted; some of the stories we’ve seen Joker in are masterpieces, and he often elevates other stories to greater heights…
Nightwing is back! Well…the series is, but not the character because we are still hanging out with Ric-Dick-Richard-Robin as he continues to struggle with remembering who he is. Dick now knows the extent of Dr. Haas’ mind control over him, but Jurgens’ script doesn’t allow the dam to fully break. The result is that there’s…
Harley’s quest for answers continues this month as she faces off against Jonathan Wittleson, the shady head honcho behind the housing developments Harley and Booster Gold have been investigating. Is he behind Alicia’s murder? Was Alicia murdered? And what on Earth is going on with Harley and Booster Gold? Stay tuned to find out. This…
