Checkmate

  • Justice League #71 review

    When's the last time you really cared about the Justice League? For me, it was probably 2018, with the conclusion of No Justice shortly following Dark Nights: Metal. There was a level of momentum to that story that I adored, and it bought me enough good will to enjoy a lot of Snyder and Tynion's writing…


  • Justice League #70 review

    Hey all! Nick's still on vacation, so I'm covering Justice League for him this week! Shouldn't be too rough, I love the League! Now, let's see what we have her- Oh. Justice League: The Biggest Score Ever, Part Two (Alternatively: this issue is a comic! It's part of a comic book!) Hey, is Brian Michael Bendis…


  • Justice League #68 review

    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,…


  • Justice League #67 review

    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…


  • Checkmate #3 review

    After being blinded by some extremely charming Green Arrow/Question content last issue, I realized this time around that I forgot to ask one very important question: No really, who is Daemon Rose? We didn't see anything about that last issue. Like, seriously, the name Daemon Rose is absent for the entire thing. Not one mention. I…


  • Checkmate #2 Review

    Almost all of my fears have been assuaged. Where Checkmate #1 was a bloated, oddly paced mess of setup and thread-hanging, the sophomore issue of this miniseries is nothing but pure character driven fun. I was absolutely worried that Bendis was going to take this new mini and use it as an outlet for more Event…


  • Justice League #65 review

    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…


  • Checkmate #1 review

    Checkmate is back! After the events of, well, Event Leviathan, the world is dominated by Mark Shaw, head of the Leviathan terrorist group, and it's up to the world's greatest detectives (bar you-know-who and a couple others) to stop him! I really enjoyed Leviathan Rising, and even though the actual event fell apart a bit,…
