7 on Black Lightning Season 3 Episode 1 Review - Freeland under siegeAs Black Lightning's third season kicks off, the city Black Lightning protects is in a dark place. When we left off, the Pierce family had just found out that not only does the A.S.A. agent Odell know about their double lives as vigilante superheroes, but that the Markovian army has set its sights on the…
Writing is an art. At times, I think the comic book industry fails to realize that, and publishers look past the actual craft of forming sentences or working the narrative. That’s not to disrespect any writers currently in the comic book industry, but I definitely feel as though many don’t pay much attention to their…
Detective Comics #1012 was a study in pacing and tone. Each scene was deliberate, permeating a sense of dread that was intensified by the relatively slow pace. The action that punctuated the story was made all the more shocking and visceral by this, which in turn made Freeze's plan all the more sinister and despicable.…
Batman: Universe began as a crazy crime caper, which in turn led to forays into Gorilla City and Thanagar, and now finds Batman and Green Lantern in the old west, trading barbs with Jonah Hex. It's an exercise in escalating zaniness, and I absolutely adore it. I can also understand why it's not everyone's cup…
Lois Lane and her team of detectives—not that team of detectives, but the other team of detectives—come face-to-face with harsh realities! Batman and his cave crew come face-to-face with harsh realities! Superman comes face-to-face with harsh realities! In Event Leviathan #5! WARNING: HARSH REALITIES (AND SPOILERS) AHEAD Lots of dull, annoying dialogue... If I could sum up Bendis's signature…
Chronicle Books and writer Shea Fontana have come together for DC: Women of Action, an exciting and engrossing spotlight on DC Comics' most prominent female characters and creators. Shining a light on characters both good and bad, this is a great book that shows that these strong women don't always need powers to be super.…
Since issue #4’s cliffhanger, I have been wondering where Taylor and Hairsine are taking this story, and I can safely say that, after reading #5, I still have no clue. What I do know is that this issue is crazy. A rollercoaster ride. So, let’s waste no time and have a look. DCeased, as a…
Tom King’s Batman run should just be referred to as “The never-ending King saga that accomplishes absolutely nothing.” Why? Because that’s how I feel after I read each issue. Considering he launched Batman during Rebirth with so much promise, it’s a shame that his run is so divisive. I mean, we’re at issue 80 now…
If you’re curious about who Teen Lantern is and how she joined Young Justice, this is the issue that finally offers some answers. But while most of the issue focuses on Teen Lantern, there’s enough progress in the overall story that developing her origin doesn’t feel like a total diversion from the main plotline. After…
Harley’s finally done it: she’s conquered every trial thrown her way by the Lords of Order and Chaos and earned the right to be their Angel of Retribution. This is what she’s worked so hard for, so she should be excited, right? In reading Harley Quinn there have been many things I’ve come to expect…
We've come a long way on this journey with Batman and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and our time is drawing to a close. There have been some laughs, plenty of excitement, and a few surprises here and there. As awesome as it was seeing the Dark Knight and the Heroes in a Half-shell team…
The War rages on! Aquaman may have turned the tide in the past, but things are still looking pretty grim in the future. Can the League collect the Totality shards and bring them back in time to stop Apex Lex and his evil mama? Things get even crazier, in Justice League #33! SPOILERS AHEAD. Still…
There have been multiple retellings of Batman's origin over the years. Some are considered "definitive" or "canonical," like Year One and Zero Year. Others may have been attempts to shore up years of continuity that, while entertaining, are remembered more for their endearing weirdness than anything else. I'm looking at you, Untold Legend of the…
Welcome to cyberspace Frankenstein! I mean Batgirl #39!If you know Mary Shelley’s iconic novel (or the Classics Illustrated comic book version) and tend to deduce whodunit about halfway into a mystery, you might have caught the similarities. It took me until this issue, with the Oracle android planning to confront Babs directly, to see this arc…
Last month, Jason took on the role of teacher to a group of young metahumans, each hand-picked by Lex Luthor to be the world’s next supervillains. After proving his worth to his new students, Jason and company set off to follow up on a distress call from S.T.A.R. Labs and ran straight into Doomed, a…
Batman's been attacked! At home! In his cave! Can the Dark Knight escape the wrath of the Avenging Angel? Things are about to get real, in Batman: Curse of the White Knight #3! MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD Out in the open As you no doubt surmised by the end of last issue, Bruce's big secret is now in…
If you’ll forgive me, this story about Mister Freeze is a slow burn, and all the better for it. After weeks of buildup, with brief epilogues at the end of the most recent issues of Detective Comics, we finally get to see what Freeze has been plotting. Leave it to a master storyteller like Peter…
Batman Beyond #36 concludes what is definitely the weakest arc in Dan Jurgens’ otherwise very solid run. Even at the series’ lowest point, Jurgens manages to put together a narrative that works despite questionable art that nonetheless gets the job done. This is a functional comic book and that isn’t meant to be a flippant…
I should start this review by saying that I’m a fan of Stjepan Sejic’s work. I have thoroughly enjoyed his run on Aquaman (issues #25-30). I have also read some of his explicit Sunstone stories, and I think his writing on that title is quite good because he has a way of examining his characters’…
The first issue of Batman/Superman ended with our heroes stepping in the Batman Who Laughs’ cave and encountering an infected Shazam. This second issue, after a brief intro page, drops us into the middle of the battle between our heroes and Shazam. It’s a fast and entertaining read, but can it also be considered a…
