[SPOILER WARNING: This review will spoil the entirety of Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths.] Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 is the final issue in what began as the Dark Crisis event - concluding every story thread that began with Infinite Frontier, along with establishing new setup for the tales to come. Written by Joshua Williamson and…

So I've finally sat down at my hotel in New York, New York. Casper and Cam are trying to order food, the rest of the Batman News team are sending their best wishes, and I'm recovering from the jet lag of three flights over thirty hours, which was delayed due to being stuck in customs.…

DC Comics is one of the most popular and prolific publishers on the planet*. Zombies are one of the more popular horror creatures out there too, which makes sense because the undead are both terrifying and easy to adapt to practically any property. Combine the two and you've got yourself DCeased, DC's immensely successful take…
[Review is currently without visual aid; images will be added as soon as possible.] I like to put a level of creativity in my reviews - but normally, that's kind of contingent on the story encouraging a creative response. Like Dark Crisis #1, issue #2 does little to convince me such effort is necessary. There's good stuff…
You know, it's funny. I've spent so much time discussing Dark Crisis in my reviews leading up to it... that by the time the event has actually arrived, I feel like I have nothing more to say. I think the book's content - or lack thereof - speaks for itself. Dark Crisis #1 sets the stage…
Shadow War Omega #1 brings the Shadow War crossover event to a surprisingly shocking close. After a decent reveal of the big bad, the final issue allows room for a villain monologue, final battle, and subsequent consequences. While I’m sure no one saw the identity of the fake Deathstroke coming, I admit the signs were…
Shadow War is well on its way to wrapping up, and Robin is a major factor in that. This issue continues the event directly after Deathstroke Inc #9 and if you haven’t read that yet, go check it out then come back here. I wish I could say this book feels like more of a…
After reuniting with Talia in the last issue Robin dives straight into Shadow War this month. Damian continues his search for Deathstroke, answers as to why Ra’s was killed, and learns more than he expected to. I’ll be honest, I found this issue a little hard to review since it’s less an issue of Robin…
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,…
