8 on Justice League #65 reviewThis 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…
Hey guys! You're talking to Nick today - Brian couldn't make it for this review, so I've stolen his identity for the next few hours so that I can upload this article. Rest assured, I've made many purchases with his PayPal account. Brian's reviews for Tom Taylor and Andy Kubert's Batman: The Detective have painted a pretty…
Scooby and the gang are back, and they're facing their greatest threat yet- Black Mask! They'll need some help on this one, and who better than Nightwing and Batgirl? That's right sports fans, Nightwing is here!! In a Scooby-Doo comic!! I literally could not be happier. Now, before I spend my entire article gushing about…
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…
When I was just entering high school in 2012, Warner Bros. had plans to release The Hobbit - a brand new movie set in Middle Earth, and a sort-of prequel to Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Having seen all three of the LOTR movies several times (because who hasn't), obviously I was very excited to…
Batman: Reptilian #1’s dark aesthetic doesn’t match the amount of fun within its pages. Garth Ennis has...mixed views on Batman and his less than reverent attitude toward the character is apparent, but Ennis’ sense of humor mixed with Liam Sharp’s striking art combine for a truly unique reading experience. The opening sequence sets the tone…
It takes a special kind of book to maintain a consistent level of quality while changing writers every issue. The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries is that kind of book. This book has been nothing but Saturday morning fun, and I absolutely love it. If you have a young reader or a little one you want to get…
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…
Batman/Catwoman #5 marks a moment in the series where a lack of coherent narrative thrust hinders otherwise solid sequences. Clay Mann’s art remains solid as ever, though his work with the older Selina shows some strain, but Tom King’s script finds itself wavering due to the self-imposed three-headed narrative structure. Of the three storylines here,…
Well. It's here. The final issue in the best mini I've read in a long time. The final issue. It's over. Unless... I'm just simply not going to read it. If I don't read it, the story never ends, and then they just have to keep making more issues to pad the gap between the…
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…
Mystery Inc. reunites with the Dynamic Duo for the second installment of this series, and the problem is bigger than ever: there's a ghost in the Batcave! Can Batman, Robin, and the gang spook the spectre out of their subterranean space? Let's find out! As is the practice with this book, since the print books…
Batman’s been Memento’d! He has only the fragmented messages he leaves himself every twenty two minutes and his analytical mind to solve the mystery that is Fortnite! Will he be able to solve it? (Yes.) Or will his feelings for this mysterious woman dressed like a cat hold him back? (No.) Let’s hop in and…
So. You want to make a Batman comic. Simple enough, right? Over the course of 80 years, Batman has become one of the most versatile characters in all of popular culture. He’s been everywhere: travelling the world, the universe and the spacetime continuum itself! Batman can be found doing anything, anywhere a creator likes. There’s…
The Batman/Fortnite crossover is among us. When I chose — Yep, totally definitely absolutely chose to. Of my own free will and stuff. Not like I was forced to review this because I’m low on the totem pole. That would be barbaric. h e l p m e — to review Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point, I…
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…
Batman/Catwoman #4 is mean down to the bone. No one, except the villains, likes each other and Tom King’s script offers mass murderers a sense of camaraderie our heroes seem incapable of possessing. Maybe that’s the point, I have little doubt it’s intentional, but between sloppy transitions and the detached aura the fractured narrative creates,…
Long ago – when the pyramids were still young – Egyptian kings played a game of great and terrible power. But these Shadow Games erupted into a war which threatened to destroy the entire— Oh, sorry. I accidentally started reciting the opening to the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. What was I saying? Ah, yes. Long ago –…
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,…
