18 on DC Power 2025: Rise Of The Power Company #1 reviewDC Power returns to celebrate yet another compilation of black led stories. Last year, creatives like Brandon Thomas, Khary Randolph, and N.K Jimisin brought their unique voices to the underrepresented pantheon of black characters. Directly following Absolute Power, this year's edition sets up the return of The Power Company. Outside of functioning as a backdoor…
Dan Watter's run on Nightwing kicks off with "On With The Show" part two! In this harrowing issue, Dick finds himself at odds with an obviously evil weapons manufacturer stirring up trouble in Blüdhaven. The company, Spheric, seems to be manipulating the gangs and police force in the city at the whim of a mysterious…
So, this is the last issue. Let me guess, it’s a climactic fight and everything turns out all right in the end. We get some consequences that affect nothing and move on to the next event. Yep, called it. I don’t need any more preamble, let’s just get into it. Absolute Power squandered its premise, a…
Absolute Power: Origins concludes with this third issue, and I haven’t been too hot on the series so far. Amanda Waller’s motivations behind the Absolute Power event have been confusing and a little convoluted, but does the third issue bring it home and paint a clear picture of why Waller is who she is? Let’s…
Dan Watters writes the next installment of Absolute Power: Task Force VII about the seventh and final Amazo. This time, Waller deploys it to solo the international community of superheroes. Strangely enough, this results in a mostly action oriented issue. Let's take a closer look! The International Community The DCU is no stranger to international…
I’m glad this event is only four issues long because it’s already starting to try my patience. After last month was wasted on Nightwing worship and tie-in setups we do get to see the heroes put a plan into motion and fight back. Unfortunately, the comic just isn’t very interesting. Let’s get into it. The…
In the first issue of Absolute Power: Origins, Amanda Waller’s motivations were revealed. To be honest, those motivations didn’t make sense and the issue fell flat. But now that we know how she established her ties with the government; with the second issue, we find out how she created the infamous Task Force X a.k.a.…
Amanda Waller's plan to stop all of the world's metahumans hinges on her adaptable team of Amazo androids. However, as each of them absorb the powers of the Justice League, they begin to develop fatal flaws. Namely, Task Force VII #5 covers the somewhat sad state of the Flash powered "Velocity." Let's get up to…
Last month, I had plenty to say about the opening issue of this event. As far as I’m concerned that’s a good thing. But now as we reach the halfway point, with the remaining heroes joining forces to try and find a way to fight back, I’m left with not nearly as much to say……
DC’s Absolute Power crossover event has kicked off and with Origins, this three-issue miniseries goes over the backstory of the event’s linchpin and main antagonist: Amanda Waller. Waller is on a warpath against heroes and vigilantes, and this series is suppose to explain her motivations. Does the first issue give a clear picture on why…
Welcome back to the revolution! Last issue, Amanda Waller sent out her army of Amazo androids to hunt down the world's heroes. Sadly, the villains are able to capture their quarries uncontested for the most part. Now, we join the Doom Patrol and the Aquaman family as they band together to defend Atlantis. Let's take…
Unfortunately, the word is out. Thanks to Failsafe, Braniac Queen, and her army of Amazos, Amanda Waller has won. Unexpectedly, every metahuman on earth must hide from Waller's power stealing A.I. she affectionately refers to as Task Force VII. Subsequently, this series follows that hunt for the remaining heroes and metas hoping to turn the…
Last month the final pieces of Absolute Power fell into place and all that was left was for the event to truly start. Now it has, in just as bombastic a fashion as you might expect. Much planning has gone into this and DC seems to be fully committed, which I think is a good…
After a year and a half of build-up and months of preludes, DC Comics' biggest event since Dark Crisis is about to kick off. First though, a few straggling plot elements must be maneuvered into place and to do that we have Absolute Power: Ground Zero. What we have here is three short stories that…
Dreamer has been captured by Task Force X, and they are on their way to deliver her to Amanda Waller, as she has plans for the dream-walking heroine. Will the Squad see that they are on the wrong side of this fight and back up Dreamer? Or is there nothing stopping Amanda Waller from achieving…
Absolute Power is almost here. This Summer's blockbuster event will see Amanda Waller launch the final stage of her plan two years in the making. Teaming up with Failsafe and the Brainiac Queen, she plans to rid the world of metahumans once and for all by taking their powers away. Kicking off on May 4th…
Amanda Waller has been working behind the scenes of almost every DC event since 2022's Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths to undermine the Earth's heroes. From creating evil doppelgangers to transforming the world's population into animals, no act has been too far if it meant sowing distrust of metahumans. Thanks to her efforts, the Justice…
