5 on Young Justice #13 reviewLast month the Young Justice team was joined by both the Wonder Twins and Dial H for Hero. Meanwhile, Conner started to get a grasp on where he’d landed in the multiverse this time. With added firepower it's up to the team to stop Star Labs, and find Conner, will they manage it this issue?…
Love is in the air in the DC Universe but those looking for a bit of romance in their superhero comics may want to look for other options than Crimes of Passion #1. Without any frame story, this years’ Valentine’s Day themed anthology lives and dies on the overall strength of its ten stories. While…
Martian Manhunter is back, but is he in time? It all comes down to this, the final issue of the Snyder/Jimenez run on Justice League. MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD How the mighty have fallen This is not the conclusion to Scott Snyder and Jorge Jimenez’s time on Justice League that I wanted to read or review. And…
Tom Taylor delivers his second issue of Suicide Squad, which contains more bombastic action and a good dose of character development as well! If you didn’t pick up the debut, you’re going to want to jump on this bandwagon before it’s too late. Trust me. The Story It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan…
I have mixed feelings about Alfred’s death. I think it allows for some interesting storytelling opportunities, but on the other hand I know that, at the end of the day, it’s all just a marketing trick. With this annual centering around Alfred’s absence, I was a bit skeptical going in. Is this a comic worth…
If it weren’t so similar to previous issues, Batman Beyond #40 would more successfully set a course for the series to proceed. Ever since Batwoman’s introduction, Jurgens’ scripts follow a very similar template. Batwoman saves the day in some inconsequential set piece, Bruce and Matt stand around clueless to her identity, and Blight makes a…
We’ve got Apex-Lex versus the Batman Who Laugh’s infected acolytes! Will the confrontation live up to the hype, or will the lack of connectivity and continuity between these titles result in another disappointing turn of events? Find out below! The Story The moment I realized that Scott Snyder’s “Doom War,” Brian Michael Bendis’ “Year of…
After a solid debut in Batman #86, I was really looking forward to what James Tynion and Tony Daniel had to offer in Batman #87… Well, I feel let down. Not only does Tynion’s script drop in quality, but Daniel is nowhere to be found as Guillem March steps in to cover the art. It’s…
I mainly disliked the "Secret Six" arc (#1-5) because of the dialogue. It was like the infection just made people talk and behave like edgy teens rather than serious threats. My main concern going into this issue, therefore, was the dialogue. Interestingly enough, it’s not the dialogue that gets me this time. So, buckle up,…
Here we have the conclusion of Detective’s latest two-issue story: "Dead of Winter." Basically, this is what some would consider filler material, and while I wouldn't disagree with that, I don’t think that “filler” is always a bad thing. That said, seeing as the previous issue was mostly just setup, the creative team doesn’t have…
Artemis and Bizzaro have rejoined the team, giving Generation Outlaw two new mentors in addition to Jason. How will Artemis and Bizzaro fare as teachers? And will Artemis and Jason ever talk about that kiss they shared? Red Hood Outlaw #42 is a frustrating book. It attempts to put a bow on Generation Outlaw, tie…
Batgirl has survived facing off against Oracle, and come out of the fight with a new perspective on how to live life. How will her decision to be more open and impulsive, both as Batgirl and Barbara, impact what she does next? And how will she and Jason move forward after the kiss they shared…
Azrael has misappropriated the mantle of the Bat! After killing Jim Gordon and breaking said dead Gordon's baby girl, Jean-Paul attempts to take the Valley back from Bruce Wayne and the elites! Joker's doing his level best to help, but can he continue to suppress Jack Napier in the face of...BABIES?!?! Find out in Batman: Curse…
Atop one of Gotham City’s gargoyled rooftops, a duel for the ages is happening between Batman and Deathstroke in this all-new DC Collectibles battle statue. Batman defies gravity as he teeters on the edge of the gargoyle, armed with claws of batarangs, ready to defeat Deathstroke. Sculptor Alejandro Pereira masterfully crafted these figures, while painter…
The Batman’s Grave #4 is a high-action, violent issue, so if you’re looking for a little “BANG!” and “POW!” to spice up your life, this might be the issue for you! The Story Alright, so my introduction is a little misleading. My inclusion of “BANG!” and “POW!” should make any Bat-fan think of Batman ’66,…
Last month we found out that The Other is really Damian’s clone, The Heretic. Now that he’s offered Damian the chance to become The Other and fulfill his desire to fix crime, will Damian choose to join him, or stick with his friends? As for the rest of the team, how will they react to…
Nightwing #68 is almost a good Nightwing book. In terms of art and writing, everything here is a major step up from more recent issues. Jurgens sets the stage for a great fight between Dick and Cobb, which artist Ronan Cliquet renders extremely well. We even get some solid nostalgia bait in some gorgeous Travis…
One of the most common things I hear about from following professionals in the comic industry is the crunch time that artists have to endure. This can also be the case for writers – god knows I struggle with writer’s block with half of my reviews – but with illustrators that need a certain amount…
I know I’m a broken record at this point, but Batman & the Outsiders just keeps getting better and better! The Story Last month, Batman & the Outsiders closed with Ra’s al Ghul calling a hit on Jefferson’s friend and employee, Tina. Because of that, I knew this issue would either come in guns-a-blazing as…
Catwoman #19 is a mess. With three different artists, a sudden shift into the horror genre, and overwrought narration, Joelle Jones’ run reaches its lowest point yet. In the beginning, Jones’ Catwoman was a focused, albeit slow paced, crime thriller with a strong sense of characterization and setting. Unfortunately, Jones jettisons much of what made…
