The Wonder Woman film officially opens in the US today, so it was fitting that DC would release her first Rebirth annual this week. The buzz around the film has been great, and the excellent Wonder Woman Annual #1 only adds to the hype. "The Lazarus Contract" came to an end in Teen Titans Annual #1, and—like…

A lot happened this week in comics. But I think the one moment that mattered most—the one we'll be talking about for years to come—is when Clay Mann gave General Zod a badonkadonk and wrapped it in lycra. Sadly, neither Zod nor his bulbous tush actually made it into the interior of Action Comics, so…

If you're new to comics, Super Sons is a low barrier to entry. And if you're not new, you probably already know what I'm talking about—it's super fun, super easy to read, and superbly drawn. #4 closes out the first story this week, and while it didn't quite reach the heights of the first three installments, it…

Suicide Squad is hands-down one of the most fun books that DC is publishing right now. And Suicide Squad #17 might be the most fun book published this week. Tony Daniel's artwork is popping, especially on Zod, and the sight of him maniacally diving into battle, spewing arrogant banter the whole time, makes my heart sing.…

Justice League #20 brought us an interesting—if undercooked—take on the Groundhog Day concept. I still have little hope for the series with its current team, but it was nice to have a break from the especially bad issues of late. The mystery of "The Button" continued in Batman #22, and if nothing else, I really enjoyed…

Thankfully, the jump was only literal. Teen Titans #7 was a super-fun romp with plenty of verbal and physical disrespect. And with Aqualad's "rise" complete, I'm looking forward to seeing what the book looks like with him as a regular. Too bad for him his first assignment's Deathstroke... I thought 'Tec was just okay, but…

Another week, another villain getting the drop on the Dark Knight. To be fair, Batman #21 didn't paint Bruce as incompetent or unskilled, so it's not the same exact thing; but am I the only one who would like to see seven days go by in which our boy Bats is not overpowered or outsmarted by an enemy?…

I must confess: I've not been keeping up with Justice League of America. Josh's reviews haven't been very encouraging, and I'm already struggling through one Justice League title at the moment. But as I was browsing through preview pages, I couldn't help but notice the Dark Knight sporting what sure looks like a Mighty Shield™. And I…

I know David Finch is a talented artist; I know the anatomical exaggerations on his Batman #20 cover are products neither of carelessness nor inability. And yet, when I see that cover, all I see is teeth. Big, disgusting, teeth. And I can't help but wonder: can you use regular dental instruments to clean those bad boys,…

I have been known to indulge in the occasional Arrowverse program over the years. There have been some strong moments, but more often than not, I found myself ignoring bad acting and aggravating over-emotionalizing because I enjoyed the adventure and nerd-service. So, given that, and given Elena's take on this week's Batgirl Annual #1, I'm…

Woah! How's that for a provocative, click-baity title? I wonder how many comments we'll get from folks who don't read the article? Let me know when I get back from bathing in my tub of ill-gotten ad revenue. But seriously, the title isn't entirely click-bait. Batman getting his booty handed to him (again) in Detective…

Once, Bane broke all of the inmates out of Arkham. This week, he broke all of the inmates inside of Arkham. And it was AMAZING. All-Star was delightfully bonkers, Batwoman got off to a solid start, and Super Sons was super close to perfect. What are you digging this week? All-Star Batman #8 Visually inventive,…

I liked 'Tec #952 well enough, but I have to agree with a lot of you guys: Bats doesn't look like the world-class martial artist we know and love. I get it—Shiva's amazing—but she shouldn't make Bruce look like Paul Blart. Red Hood remained one of my favorites with a tight one-and-done look at Artemis's…

Tom King is remaking Bane in Batman's image—a rebirth with tweaks to make the juiced-up Santa Priscan terrorist more or less appealing (your mileage may vary). In other rebirths, Bryan Hitch has written an issue of Justice League worth your consideration. Consider it, and if after considering it you are still interested, read it. Batman News…

It was a week of sad endings and new beginnings. It was a week of Burnside and Beyond. It was a week of old chums, old enemies, and old, murderous men with rebellious grandchildren. It was a week of Assassins, Shadows, and Justice. It was a week of—in a word—comics. Whatever your life was like…

It's finally here! I've been waiting for Super Sons for my entire life—even before I knew it. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint. It feels like Tomasi has taken the best of his Batman and Robin and Superman runs and smashed them together into something amazing. Jorge Jimenez's art is perfect for…

After much anticipation, Justice League of America: Rebirth #1 launched this week. With some serviceable setup at the end of Justice League of America: ConceptionJustice League vs. Suicide Squad, there weren't too many surprises, but I still enjoyed Orlando collecting his team, and I'm always happy to see Ivan Reis's work (beautifully colored by Marcelo Maiolo, whose name…

Batman #16. One issue—really, one sequence from one issue—was all it took for Tom King to wash the taste of "I Am Suicide" out of my mouth. That was by far the most fun I've had in Batman in a long time. But it also had some serious flaws, so I'm not sure what to expect…

Justice League vs. Suicide Squad drew its final breath this week, and while some of you clearly enjoyed it, I'll be glad to put it behind us. Some of the ideas were neat, but the artwork was all over the place, and I didn't like the dialogue much from the start. Babs is back in…

Mongul had a kid in The New 52, but he wasn't half as adorable as this deadly little scamp. And on that topic, Trinity #5 may not have been the strongest issue of the story so far, but it had a few interesting developments as Manapul delivered some much-needed exposition. In a shocking-not-shocking twist, Nightwing…
