0 on Harley Quinn #68 reviewAfter a rough Thanksgiving spent with her family, Harley decides to spend her favorite holiday on her own, celebrating it in the biggest and best way she can: taking a trip to Christmas Hamlet, the premier Christmas getaway spot! But as she saw last month, the holidays are different when you’ve lost someone. With grief…
Batman: Universe began as one of the best Batman comics of the year: a no-holds-barred, rip-roaring adventure serial that approached its conflicts with a wink and a smile. Rather than painting Batman as a gruff, dour creature of the night, Brian Michael Bendis and Nick Derington gave us a Batman who was more adventurer than…
Luthor prepares to deliver the killing blow! Who can stop the impending doom? Who, I ask? Find out, in Justice League #37! Eh? In my review for Justice League #36, I noted that, while the plot advanced very little, I still enjoyed the story. There was emotional advancement, and it sustained my interest. Not much…
Ohohoho. Ohohohohohoho. You wanna talk about Crisis events, DC? Sure, we can talk about Crisis events. BRING OUT THE CHARTS. I love talking about Crisis events. They’re so confusing and they bring up five hundred questions that will never be answered unless you’re someone with too much time on their hands (hello!). Seeing as…
I honestly think Neal Adams has created the perfect comic book. Oh, you think I’m joking? You think I’m trying to trick you into reading this so I can have some company in the psych ward? Not so. This book is – not exaggerating – my favourite of all the books I’ve had to…
Before proceeding any further, you should head over to Newsarama and read their interview with John Paul Leon. It sheds light on this book's long delays. It's finally here. After a long delay, and then one much longer delay, Batman: Creature of the Night comes to a close with its fourth issue. But should we care?…
The new Batwoman takes center stage in Batman Beyond #38 as she tears across Gotham leaving Bruce and Matt McGinnis playing catch up. While the issue finally brings together some plot threads, writer Dan Jurgens finds himself wrapped up in a repetitive plot structure with readers being one step ahead of our lead characters once…
Last month Batgirl and Oracle finally came face to face as Burnside burned all around them. In order to survive, Babs did the one thing Oracle never would have expected of her: she ran. In fact, she threw herself off a building into the river surrounding Burnside. What will happen now that Oracle has defeated…
After surviving their first field trip and picking up a new team member, Jason Todd and his students are ready to head home. Unfortunately, there’s trouble there. Dr. Shay Veritas and The Block are under attack by some unknown force. It’s up to Jason and his team to figure out just what it is! The…
So here's how great of a writer Peter Tomasi is: the conclusion to the "Cold Dark World" arc is generally fine. It wraps things up fairly well, I suppose, though it definitely doesn't finish as strong as it started. Even still, despite a somewhat odd pace and some twists that could have been disastrous in…
This review is late, but it’s late on purpose. If I had posted this yesterday when I sat down to finish this review, I would’ve been saying “$%@# you, Tom King!” repeatedly! So, prepare yourself, because while I’ve let some time and rest provide a little separation from my initial anger, I’m still freaking pissed.…
For what it’s worth we are now full steam ahead in the Ric Grayson saga. The endgame is within sight, the issues are no longer plagued with excessive recaps, and the stakes are at their highest. This doesn’t mean Nightwing #66 is a successful book. In fact, after a momentarily interesting annual last month, the…
Whenever you integrate real life events into comic history there’s always a lot of baggage that comes along with it. There’s the option to create a fake country or event as a stand-in for real life events to distance the real world from the fantastic. One exception to that option is perhaps the horrors Nazi…
In the pages of the Batman/Superman ongoing the titular protagonists are up against The Batman Who Laughs, who has infected several heroes. To go along with the current Batman/Superman arc, DC is publishing one-shots to explore what each infected hero is going through. The second of these one-shots is The Infected: Scarab #1. The main…
In the pages of the Batman/Superman ongoing the titular protagonists are up against The Batman Who Laughs, who has infected several heroes. To go along with the current Batman/Superman arc, DC is publishing one-shots to explore what each infected hero is going through. Although not a separate one-shot like the others, Supergirl #36 does tie…
Issues #1-3 of this series weren’t exactly my cup of tea, but nevertheless I got some entertainment out of them. Issue #4, on the other hand, is hard to read for me. Not only do I tend to get bored when I see superheroes fighting each other (an outdated trope that Supergirl in this very…
Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen is art. I do not say that lightly, and I mean it with the utmost sincerity. This is one of the funniest, most tightly-scripted comic books on the stands. Other than Chip Zdarsky's Daredevil-- which is just as great for completely different reasons-- this might be my favorite title being published…
Last month Roundhouse explained why he betrayed the team, and in a moment of rashness trapped Djinn in her own ring, putting the team down not one but two members. Now Lobo is back, and ready to complete the contract he took on the team, by using Crush to do it. Can the remaining Teen…
Lex Luthor and his adopted mommy are on the war path! The heroes await their destruction, but not without one last attempt at winning the day. See it all go down in Justice League #36. Another slice Justice League #36 is typical of this series lately, in that its impact feels incremental. I enjoy it…
So, I’m three issues into this series, written by Jodie Houser and illustrated by Adriana Melo – and it’s now the longest-running series I’ve reviewed so far! Three issues may not seem like much (because it isn’t), but to me it’s been a big learning experience in how to handle longer stories, rather than…
