10 on Knight Terrors: Punchline #1 reviewA mysterious new villain named Insomnia puts the entire world to sleep to search the minds of the DC Universe. The likes of Batman, The Joker, and Black Adam fall fast asleep against their will. Nonetheless, Punchline seemingly finds herself wide awake and nightmare free! In Your Dreams No matter what's going on in the…
Spirit World #3 continues the adventures of Xanthe, Batgirl, and Constantine together in limbo. Unfortunately, the very concept of reuniting this early stalls out the original story engine. As a result, it is up to writer Alyssa Wong to rebuild this story piece by piece! And It Feels So Good, Right? Instead of letting the…
Nightwing #105 features art completely from Nightwing’s first person point of view, creating an interesting but debatably distracting, visual experience. Tom Taylor’s script is solid, but Bruno Redondo’s pencils display the pros and cons of dedicating an entire issue to a single visual perspective, no matter how fun the novelty appears at first glance. The…
Spirit World #2 returns to explore the background of its lead character of Xanthe Zhou. When we last left off, Xanthe was on their way to rescue Cassandra Cain from the Spirit World. Now, our hero has to answer to someone from Xanthe's past. Breaking Your Mother's Heart When the story began, Xanthe saves a…
Tom Taylor indulges his worst habits in Nightwing #104, creating a comic that seems hellbent on delivering a lackluster finale to an otherwise promising arc. Travis Moore’s art is aesthetically pleasing, but Taylor’s script gives him little to work with, resulting in a bland, surface level reading experience. The cliffhanger from last month had Neron…
Welcome dear readers to the first issue of Alyssa Wong's Spirit World in honor of AAPI heritage month. Following their first appearance in the We Are Legends short story within the Lazarus Planet event, Xanthe Zhou returns to lead their own original series. Xanthe must gather allies to rescue Batgirl from the mysterious Spirit World!…
Nightwing #103 delivers a fun, genuinely surprising story with impressive art from Travis Moore and Vasco Georgiev. Sometimes Taylor’s sense of humor drains the tension from what should be a thrilling narrative. However, this time the series takes itself more seriously, letting the jokes better integrate itself into the drama, rather than inhibiting it. Nightwing,…
Batgirls moves into a new arc this month, focusing on crime situated in The Hill, the Batgirls' home and main location they strive to protect. The crime in question is a sniper, and as the girls investigate they learn more about the place they’ve come to call home, and the others living there. I’ll start…
It's the final issue of this series, and while I'm not exactly distraught to see it go, I do think it's a little sad that this might be the last we see of this version of Batman's world. I've really enjoyed the Gotham Knights universe, and I hope we get to see more of it in…
We're back with a blast from the past (a few, actually) in this week's issue of Gilded City! This whole mini has been better than it had any right to be, especially for a video game tie-in comic, and I honestly would love to see this Narcisse/Abel/John/Wands team on a future bat-project, unhindered by any obligations…
Batman vs. Robin #5 wraps up the series with a suitable amount of heart and bombast, even if the ultimate result feels familiar. While reading the previous Lazarus Planet issues isn’t required, some may find themselves a little lost if they only stuck to this mainline series. Mark Waid’s script does a decent job of…
We're back! The Runaway's adventures continue, and the FOMO Fear Gas is still spreading! What secrets connect the two? Will our heroes, past and present, be able to stop their respective crises? Let's find out! The Runaway I think I've said it in just about every review so far, but The Runaway is such an…
Well, it's finally here. The final issue of Urban Legends. I have to say, I'll be really sad to see this series go. We've had highs and lows, for sure, but man, those highs were high. We got some genuinely great stories out of this thing, like the Question/Batman team-up, the super fun Ace and friends storyline,…
It's time to dive back into Gotham with our favorite vigilantes! A quick aside before we get started, I've been playing the Heroic Assault raids in Gotham Knights: The Game the Comic the Game, and they're a lot of fun! I teamed up with some friends, and we were able to clear most of the floors…
This is it! Beginning when Andrew Bennett couldn't keep his woman in check, DC Vs. Vampires' drives the bloodshed to a surprisingly domestic conclusion. As Batgirl's forces make a play at The Dark King, everyone else scrambles to fight back the vampire horde. Hunters, Killers, And All-Out War Let's start with John Constantine. This story…
Ahh, Christmas. A time for love, laughter, family, and-- if you’re anything like teenage Cam (that's me, I'm Cam)-- hiding away from it all upstairs playing video games while the adults talk and do the dishes. For me, the Arkham games that got me through the most trying holiday seasons. But now, I’m older. Jaded. Roped…
After a pretty solid first issue, and a REALLY solid month of playing this game, this series is back with its second installment, and it's great! I've been really impressed with this series so far, both the game and the comic have been way better than I think anyone was expecting. I don't want to…
The penultimate chapter of DC Vs. Vampires has finally begun! Batgirl, Supergirl, and Green Arrow each make their final plays against the vampire horde. Unfortunately, the stakes are sky high and there is no room for failure in their final hours. I want to ask Tynion and Rosenberg the hard questions first. The status of…
Tom Taylor cranks up the meta meter with the occasionally amusing Nightwing #98, which features the debut of Nite-Mite. Whenever a fifth dimensional imp shows up the sky’s the limit for whatever shenanigans can ensue. However, Taylor’s script spends a lot of time poking fun at reader expectations and widens the scope to address concerns…
Hey folks! Matina is out, so I'll be handling the Batgirls review this week. I'll be up front, I haven't been keeping up with this book week to week, but I did some rush reading in preparation for this, so if I get something wrong, you know why. Alright, with the disclaimer out of the way,…
