4 on The Batman's Grave #6 reviewThe Batman’s Grave #6 manages to improve and also take a step back all at once. We’re still getting some quality work here, but is it enough to keep you invested through the remainder of the run or will you opt to trade-wait to finish the series? The Story I’ve praised this book ever since…
Joelle Jones brings her Raina Creel saga to its conclusion in the technically competent, but uninspired Catwoman #21 that mostly goes through the motions. Fernando Blanco’s pencils, along with FCO Plascencia’s colors, create stakes in this climactic ending that don’t fully exist in the writing. Unfortunately, the tail end of Jones’ Catwoman is a classic…
I keep hearing from people that work within the industry that DC Comics wants to create “classic” stories that can serve as evergreen trades that people continuously turn to (think Batman: Year One, The Dark Knight Returns, Batman: The Long Halloween, etc). Knowing that, I can’t help but want to hold up issues of Batman…
Last month the Young Justice team geared up (again) to head off to stop Dr. Glory and Star Labs. Meanwhile, Conner and Warlord came face to face with the Green Manaleeshi wielding a sword made of kryptonite. With all the pieces together, will the group make it in time to rescue their friend? If there’s…
DC Collectibles presents the 99th statue in its Batman Black & White line: Batman by Doug Mahnke. This gravity-defying statue features Batman in mid-leap with his grappling gun at the ready. Showcasing Mahnke’s extensive work on Batman from the early 2000s, the Batman Black & White line wouldn’t be complete without a statue by this…
Diamond Select Toys makes a wide assortment of DC-related Gallery statues—that's their affordable, plastic line—but the cream of that particular crop is their GameStop-exclusive stuff. If the Gallery line has a consistent weakness, it's paint detail, but the GameStop statues tend to have much better application. Recently, Diamond has been pushing former GameStop-exclusives into the…
I don’t follow wrestling and I don’t necessarily have a soft spot in my heart for Harley Quinn so color me surprised at how much I enjoyed Harley Quinn #71. Harley’s in Los Angeles now, mixed up in a rigged wrestling match/murder/conspiracy that somehow is connected to a more than likely corrupt property developer. Even…
God, these issues go by fast! I picked up this comic, ready to dive in and review its pros and cons, tackle the nuances of the book that might go unnoticed on first viewing… and the book was already over. You might attribute this to the book being really good, and an easy read that…
I’m not going to beat around the bush… Batman #90 isn’t a great issue. The book is terribly overwritten, and takes twenty pages to accomplish what should’ve only taken ten pages or less. Yes, it really is that padded. The Story This chapter of Batman kicks off with Selina finally revealing to Bruce what the…
When was the last time I had a super bitchy review about how terrible something was? It feels like it’s been a while. I know it hasn’t been, but I think I grew accustomed to lambasting books bi-weekly thanks to Tom King’s Batman that going more than a month without doing so feels weird. I…
If there’s one thing that’s certain, it’s that Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo know how to deliver an entertaining and engaging story! The Story Suicide Squad delivers its third issue, and man is this book an absolute blast! If you ever need a “How To” for writing ensemble teams, you should look here. Suicide Squad…
Bruce Wayne is not who he thought he was! The revelations were shocking in last month's Curse of the White Knight, and Gotham's Guardian will never be the same. But can he fight past the painful truth and save his city one last time? Find out in Batman: Curse of the White Knight #7! Feelings and fan…
Except for #1, I haven’t liked a single issue of Batman/Superman so far. In large part, that’s because of the quality of the writing. I find myself having a lot of the same complaints, and rather than seeing improvement, in my opinion things have just been going downhill. This issue, #7, which thankfully moves away…
I think that Tomasi has demonstrated before that he’s capable of writing a good Two-Face story. This arc is in fact a continuation of “The Big Burn,” which is a Two-Face story that Tomasi told in the pages of Batman and Robin with artist Patrick Gleason. That doesn’t mean, however, that in order to understand…
The Outlaws are back together, the super-villain school is in the hands of Ma Gunn, and Jason and Artemis have at least talked about the kiss they shared. All this leaves the Outlaws freed up for some adventure, and what better way to get that started than with zombies, swords, and magic? If you’ve been…
Last month Barbara and Bard found themselves pulled into the world of Unearth. There they were pitted against an unbeatable dragon and told to save the day, all while dealing with feelings of unrequited love and confusion. So, will they beat the dragon? And more importantly what will Babs decide regarding Jason? The story picks…
Batman Beyond #41 is the best issue of Dan Jurgens’ amnesiac Terry plotline that began back with the False Face arc. Sean Chen’s pencils, with inks by Sean Parsons, up their game as the arc nears its conclusion, with Jurgens’ script ramping up the stakes to their breaking point. With the entire cast slowly making…
Leviathan Dawn’s mission is clear. It wants to bridge the gap between Event Leviathan and the upcoming Event Leviathan: Checkmate as it sifts through the fallout and sets things into motion so the series proper can hit the ground running. In that sense, Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev succeed with a tight script and great…
Okay, so I think I understand what Venditti is going for in this Justice League run. In this comic’s first 39 issues & change, Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV crafted an incredibly detailed mythos involving characters from within the DC Multiverse and beyond; as a result, many of the threats the League faced were…
The original DCeased miniseries is a wild ride through a zombie-infested DC universe, and it’s a series that I really enjoyed reviewing. So when DC announced Unkillables, I was looking forward to reviewing this one as well. Unkillables is written by Tom Taylor once again, and the artwork is brought to us by Karl Mostert.…
