2 on Generations: Forged #1 reviewGenerations: Forged #1, much like its predecessor Generations: Shattered #1, is a fun, yet overstuffed jaunt through DC history. While it reads more like a love letter to bygone eras than anything else, fans of the previous issue or anyone who craves spectacle will find themselves more than satisfied. The general structure of the last…
Generations Shattered #1 plays like a greatest hits record that attempts to indulge in nostalgia and also forge a fiery narrative that struggles to not buckle under its own lofty aspirations. I don’t think it succeeds. There’s a lot of talent on the page, but this eighty page behemoth never justifies its existence beyond giving…
Batman Beyond #50 is a decent conclusion for Dan Jurgens’ largely impressive run. Much of that credit goes to the regular art team of Sean Chen, Sean Parsons, Chris Sotomayor, and Travis Lanham who are tasked with equal parts action and lower key dramatic scenes. Additionally, Jurgens’ script mostly returns to the series’ initial roots…
Nightwing #77 is an appropriately festive and heartwarming tale that manages to slightly push Dick Grayson back to the bat-family even if its actual plotline is largely familiar. Despite its level of holiday cheer, the issue struggles to make an impression due to untapped potential in Dan Jurgens’ script while Ronan Cliquet’s pencils do what…
Batman Beyond #49 doesn’t reinvent the wheel when it comes to time travel plotlines and while my hopes for a more in depth examination into Terry’s relationship with his father and Bruce weren’t fully realized, this month’s issue still delivers a mostly satisfying ending for this two-part story. There’s an endearing throwback vibe for this…
Nightwing #76 addresses a number of interesting themes that fit perfectly with Nightwing’s current identity crisis plotline. Jurgens touches upon the juxtaposition of the mundane and superhero as well as the ability for these two worlds to exist with one another. Bea and Dick’s relationship is a highlight of Jurgens’ run, however, the plot takes…
Batman Beyond #48 is pure comic book fun. Dan Jurgens does lean away from the series’ strong ensemble cast for another “altered memories” plot line, but this time the story is set to dive deeper into Terry and Bruce’s relationship. Paul Pelletier is on art duties and turns in solid work that does more than…
The recent DC solicitations for December announced that Dan Jurgens’ Batman Beyond will end with issue #50. With that knowledge in hand, Batman Beyond #47 feels a little out of the series’ normal wheelhouse. Our heroes are far away from Neo-Gotham and find themselves in space trying to take out a dangerous space station run…
