2 on Outsiders #7 reviewThe cat is out of the bag! In the previous issue, Drummer reveals that she has been Jakita Wagner the entire time! Whether readers are familiar with the events of Planetary or not, Outsiders #7 takes time to illuminate the true fate of the team. Let's take a look. You've Been In My Story Since…
In spite of the name, Kelly & Lanzing's Outsiders are unlike any before them. Disturbingly, the series has far more in common with Wildstorm's late 90's series Planetary. This includes blatantly recreating the team structure, Wildstorm cameos, and Luke straight up copying Elijah Snow's outfits. As the Wildstorm mystery continues to come together, it isn't…
The Outsiders find themselves in yet another macabre scenario against their will. This time, the team explores an exclusive "gala for ghouls" for intel. Unsurprisingly, they do not end up having a good time. Let's take a closer look! Consensual Predation? Batwoman's weird vampire ex is back in the picture. Back in 2011, the vampire…
The Outsiders continue exploring the weird and wild underbelly of the DC Universe the best they can. This time, Drummer takes the lead in the investigation of worldwide phenomenon surrounding a new metahuman. Rather than focus on the team's perspective, Kelly and Lanzing take readers through the life of a troubled twenty-something. Let's take a…
In this next fantastical issue of Kelly and Lanzing's Outsiders, Luke and Kate explore a niche pocket universe. However, before the two know it, they end up knee deep in an uncomfortable amount of parallel Batmen. Let's take a closer look! Because Why Not Following the book's episodic format, the Outsiders choose another random mystery…
Luke Fox is curious about the unknown corners of the globe. Luckily, because his father stole Bruce's money during Joker War, he has the money and time to explore it. Indulging his quest for knowledge is Bat-Family black sheep Kate Kane and a new version of Wildstorm's Drummer. As equal partners, Kate has her own…
One of the first comics I remember reading in high school was the "Looking For Trouble" arc of Nightwing's Outsiders. Over the years, the team has continued to evolve and serve many purposes. This iteration reunites Kate Kane and Luke Fox for another unique mission of discovery. Specifically, Kelly and Lanzing exploit the opportunity to…
Say, do you folks have any treasured holiday traditions? Things you do with family or friends that really just bring a smile to your face? Something that, if you didn’t do it, it wouldn’t really be the holidays? For me, that thing is watching movies. My mom raised me on the old Rankin Bass Christmas…
We're back again this week with more of your favorite anthology series, and it's a great issue, folks! There's some really creative stories this time around, and I don't want to waste too much time up here, so let's jump right in! The Wheelman of Gotham The initial installment of this incredible issue follows Batman…
All-Out War #4 continues the vampire saga with whatever bloody glory it can muster. The war finally kicks it up a notch as Constantine's "Suicide Squad" approach their quarry at the Blood Farm. Unfortunately, they need all the luck they can to survive the malicious Baron Cinder and his vampire knights. After last issue's distraction,…
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, All-Out War isn't much of a war, but finally starts the fight properly. The third installment follows the remaining survivors continuing their mission to extract a high valued target or die trying. Alex Paknadel and Matthew Rosenberg have managed to craft a nihilistic rescue mission set…
Remember those times when Tyler Hoechlin appeared as Superman on Supergirl and then met the entire cadre of heroes during the Crisis on Infinite Earths? Well, apparently that was a different Superman, and a different Lois, than the ones we're seeing on the CW's excellent Superman & Lois every week. This revelation comes courtesy showrunner…
Growing up in the 2000’s and 2010’s, I lived in worship of the DC animated movies. Superman: Doomsday, Under the Red Hood, Justice League: The New Frontier - these were all movies that I held in such high regard as a child, as did every other DC fan that I knew. Shoutout to Green Lantern:…
The thing that appeals to me the most about McFarlane Toys' DC Multiverse line is how much variety they offer. I mean, sure, there are lots of Batman figures, but that's to be expected given that he's pretty popular these days. Even with a ton of variations on the Caped Crusader, that still leaves plenty…
I found out I was bisexual some time during 2018. There were signs, of course. I'm sure if you talk to enough of my friends, you'll find a few who said they kind of figured - I certainly had a few employers who thought I was flat-out gay, which was a funny conversation to have.…
After two months of basically non-stop action, Batman Beyond #45 smartly slows things down a bit and takes its time to properly set up the arc’s stakes and character motivations. While the last two issues were entertaining, Dan Jurgens’ script and character dynamics take a noticeable bump up in clarity and engagement. Also different is…
I know books have been shipping the last few weeks, but I finally feel like I’m back in the comics world with Batman Beyond #43. It’s nice to be in the weekly grind, much like how Terry is finally back in the Batman cowl and fighting crime in Neo Gotham. Jurgens knows what works in…
Love is in the air in the DC Universe but those looking for a bit of romance in their superhero comics may want to look for other options than Crimes of Passion #1. Without any frame story, this years’ Valentine’s Day themed anthology lives and dies on the overall strength of its ten stories. While…
If it weren’t so similar to previous issues, Batman Beyond #40 would more successfully set a course for the series to proceed. Ever since Batwoman’s introduction, Jurgens’ scripts follow a very similar template. Batwoman saves the day in some inconsequential set piece, Bruce and Matt stand around clueless to her identity, and Blight makes a…
One of the most common things I hear about from following professionals in the comic industry is the crunch time that artists have to endure. This can also be the case for writers – god knows I struggle with writer’s block with half of my reviews – but with illustrators that need a certain amount…
