0 on Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic #4 reviewTemporarily coming in as a last minute substitute, I'll be your "Dante" through Neo Gothic's increasingly weird "Inferno." As Batman and Kyle delve further into the underground, they begin to experience gnostic hallucinations. Unfortunately, that means an entire issue of fighting their way out of a seemingly never ending nightmare! A Long Strange Trip Max…
At long last! The final chapter of Dark Knights Of Steel comes to a striking end. For twelve harrowing issues, the three kingdoms of the realm have gone to war because of a long standing lie.

After reuniting in Spirit World #3, Xanthe, Batgirl, and Constantine fight together against an unknown evil. Even so, the heroes seem to be one battle ahead and step behind the malevolent being pulling the strings. Resident Evils Alyssa Wong shifts gears by uniting the unlikely team of heroes on the trail of an all powerful…
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…
Dark Knights of Steel readies itself for the final phase of the story. As Protex conspires to destroy the El Kingdom once and for all, the heroes plan out all their necessary defensive measures. Although there is only one more issue to go, the penultimate chapter shows a a surprising amount of restraint. In fact,…

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!…
The fighting finally ends after the latest death of one of the three monarchs in the land. Sadly, the existence of this new threat means that the war isn't over. Hopefully knowing the truth can restore the trust between the kingdoms before it is too late. The mother of the Amazons has died in battle.…
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…
Solicited as the grand finale to the DC Vs. Vampires spin-off, All-Out War #5 ends the same way it began. Licking their wounds from a bittersweet battle, the team desperately attempts one last Hail Mary before giving up completely. Where we last left off, the survivors had entirely botched Constantine's plans to bring the sun…
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…
After a long prelude, the war for the three kingdoms finally begins! Hippolyta, Amanda Waller, and the newly crowned Queen Anissa meet face to face on the battlefield. Although, the growing tension between the armies shorten the discussion and edge them all closer to mutually assured oblivion. Medieval politics have not been the same after…
Batman vs. Robin #1 overcomes most of the pitfalls a “versus” title faces at its very conception. I don’t like seeing heroes fight each other, but the return of a fan favorite character and aggressive pacing allows Mark Waid and Mahmud Asrar to cut to the chase and deliver equal parts spectacle and character drama.…
My Dungeons and Dragons session got cancelled today, and I'm blaming it all on Dark Crisis. Oh, sorry. Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths, apparently. I find it funny how excited DC was to market this name change - before it even happened in the story, no less! It makes a gal wonder if I should bother using a…
The fear left in the wake of nuclear destruction puts the “F” in All-Out War. However, the rag tag group of survivors have no time to grieve their losses. The remaining Nightlight members are instead exposed and forced onto the front lines. In the continued monochromatic adventures of All-Out War #2, we take on the…
SVOT is a heavily used business term. It is an acronym for the phrase, “Single Version Of The Truth.” It means that everyone in the organization has the same information, and should essentially be on the same page. In DC Vs. Vampires, I’m not seeing the synergy. When we last left off, Jayna had just…
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…
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…
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,…
