21 on Injustice (2021) Animated Movie reviewAh, Injustice. Will you never cease to haunt me? I absolutely LOVED this game back in 2013. I mean, a fighting game where I can play as Green Lantern, Superman, and all my other DC favorites that WASN'T Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe?!?!? Absolutely insane. I still remember getting home from the summer camp where I had read…
You know, there's nothing quite so existentially horrifying as hittting 23 years of age, and realizing the first thing you have to do is review an issue of Brian Michael Bendis' Justice League - which is exactly why this review is late! I'd apologize, but read this panel and then tell me you don't understand. Luckily,…
Wow! I hated this issue! Like, oh my god! At first I thought it was the state of mind I was in at the time of my first reading, but no - looking through it again, I could not bring myself to like this. At all! Not even the usual high standard of Justice League…
If I'm being honest, there's not much to say this week. The latest issue of Justice League Dark isn't a slow one, per se - but I find myself a little less enthralled by it than I am by previous issues thus far. That's mainly because, despite the exciting action and beautiful visuals on display,…
This week might have to involve a bit of "phoning it in", as they say. It's not that either Justice League or Justice League Dark have terrible instalments this week - in fact, both stories make clear efforts to progress the story and get their audiences excited for what's to come. That being said, I'm not all…
Alright, that's it. Justice League and its backup, Justice League Dark, do not belong in the same comic book. Both of these books have their merits (though those who have read my reviews until now know which of the two I prefer), but they do not compliment each other well at all. Bendis' Justice League is a…
On the cover for Justice League #63, Black Adam and Naomi are despicted as standing back to back, concerned for their fates as the faces of the Justice League loom over them, casting judgment. The caption of the cover reads "Black Adam and Naomi ACCUSED", and it couldn't be more ominous as to what they've done in…
Okay. This was bound to happen sooner or later. Justice League has managed to avoid my ire for three generally decent issues, but that wasn't going to last forever. I would have liked it to last a little longer - but alas, issue #62 is the first of Bendis and Marquez's run that I've genuinely not…
In many ways, it's hard to believe we're only three issues into Brian Michael Bendis' run of Justice League. I can't say I'm complaining! Reviewing two Justice League comics a month wasn't my favourite thing to do when the books were only occasionally delivering an issue I genuinely really enjoyed. That said, there are downsides to this new…
Justice League: Prisms I remember when I started reading Scott Snyder’s Justice League, fresh off the heels of Dark Nights: Metal and No Justice. Honestly, the beginning of that book was one of the best openings to a team book I’d ever read: it established the team dynamic perfectly, set up an interesting and high-stakes…
Well, we knew this was going to happen sooner or later. Brian Michael Bendis entering the world of DC Comics was one of the biggest creative shakeups that the two companies have had in some time... though I can’t say I’m all for what DC got out of the deal. From Daredevil to Immortal Hulk,…
Hey, Joker War? How’s that crossover event going? ...It’s over? Cool, cool. How’s Death Metal chugging along? ...Still going? Well, okay. When’s Future State? Next month?! Alright, screw it. We can probably squeeze in a Christmas event, right? No one’s gonna mind. Justice League: Endless Winter is the literary embodiment of a stocking stuffer, and…
I genuinely don’t know what to think of the conclusion to Robert Venditti’s “Cold War” arc. I’ve sat with it a while, and I’m still not really sure about it. It’s not that the ending is particularly mind-boggling, or even particularly bad; really, this issue is about the same level of quality as the rest…
What do you guys like out of a Justice League story? I’m genuinely curious. Do you want a huge, sprawling adventure with high stakes and intense character drama? Do you want smaller stories with less pressure, allowing the characters to breathe? Do you prioritise any of these aspects in particular? What does the Justice League…
In Robert Venditti’s arc, Reign of the Supermen, I had a good time - but it was clear that I was questioning the purpose of the story, and why Venditti was dedicating his time on one of DC’s biggest books to write out an ultimately harmless and superfluous story. I liked it fine, but the…
I think one of the most interesting parts about my job so far has been discovering the nuances of pacing in a comic book. Twenty pages is, realistically, not a lot of space for a story to flourish. How many novels have you read that are twenty pages long? While we’ve seen some DC creators…
There's so much to see at ToyFair that it's tough to see it all in four days. But if the bright primary colors of our favorite DC heroes hit our eye, we have to stop and take a look. That led us to Enesco's booth, where the Justice League and some of its greatest villains…
This review originally appeared on Comics Now. Repurposed with permission. Aquaman is a smash success, owing in large part to the enchanting world of people, places, and mythology that it brings to the screen. For over a year, we’ve heard stories of “Star Wars under the sea,” and the film manages to deliver an even more…
Not as good as the GameStop-exclusive Manta, but still excellent. If you don't feel like watching the video, check the transcript and photos below. The Aquaman film is a smash success, and looks to be bringing in even more in the days ahead. Before the holidays, I looked at Diamond Select’s amazing GameStop-exclusive Black Manta…
Aquaman is here, and with it comes the first on-screen interpretation of Arthur’s Curry’s most infamous nemesis, Black Manta. The film does an excellent job with both aesthetics and characterization, and Diamond Select Toys are commemorating this occasion with a GameStop-exclusive Gallery PVC statue. They sent one to Batman News for review, so let’s take…
