15 on Beast World #6 reviewWe've made it to the end! Like any uncomfortably long and rough road trip, all I want to do is get out and kiss the ground. Before Tom Taylor's Beast World ends, the heroes must figure out how to stop Dr. Hate and Amanda Waller's plans. Show Your Work I don't know when or how,…
Oh, hey there, Bat-fans! Nice to see you! I've been on a sort of mini vacation. You see, I figured out a sweet way to do way less review work than I normally would! It's a genius plan, really. I wait, say, about two months, and then come back to do a double review! Sort…
It's the third issue of Geoff Johns' return to the golden age, and things are... boy are they! I've already spoken a bit about my frustrations with Johns' work, so I won't subject you to further rants about how compulsively safe and rooted in the past it is. Instead, I'll just show you a screenshot…
I'll be honest. I used to be a MASSIVE fan of Geoff Johns' work. When I was a kid reading his comics, something about that nostalgic resurgence of all the great Silver Age heroes, the ones I saw watching Super Friends growing up, rather than the confusing new characters I'd never heard of (Who's Blue…
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…
We've done it! It's over! Well, sort of. Justice League has been something of a mess since... well, in all honesty, since I started reviewing the comic. While having several ups and downs since the end of Scott Snyder's run, issues #40 through #74 have been, above all else, directionless. Bendis' arrival hinted at the iconic team…
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…
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…
Okay, this is getting exhausting. I like to think my reviews have a modicum of effort put into them. Whether or not you agree with my assessments, I tend to put a good few hours into each article I put up. I consider it a serious privilege to be able to post my thoughts to…
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,…
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…
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…
Alright, that's it. Justice League and its backup, Justice League Dark, do not belong in the same comic book. Both of these books have their merits (though those who have read my reviews until now know which of the two I prefer), but they do not compliment each other well at all. Bendis' Justice League is a…
On the cover for Justice League #63, Black Adam and Naomi are despicted as standing back to back, concerned for their fates as the faces of the Justice League loom over them, casting judgment. The caption of the cover reads "Black Adam and Naomi ACCUSED", and it couldn't be more ominous as to what they've done in…
Okay. This was bound to happen sooner or later. Justice League has managed to avoid my ire for three generally decent issues, but that wasn't going to last forever. I would have liked it to last a little longer - but alas, issue #62 is the first of Bendis and Marquez's run that I've genuinely not…
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…
At this point, everyone and their mother has a different opinion on Future State – and while I still ultimately like the change of pace, I can’t deny the validity to a lot of people’s complaints. There are a few standouts throughout each time period the event is trying to portray, but the way they…
I’m trying to get a good read on the Future State event so far, and I have to say, I’m a little stumped. I’ve actually had debates with my coworkers about the nature of this event: while I’ve been honestly rather stoked at the chance to see characters doing something different within the DC Universe,…
So, I’m starting to suspect that people think I don’t like Dark Nights: Death Metal. Honestly, I’m not sure what gave it away. Do you think it was the consistent 5/10’s I gave to books others have considered to be the best parts of the series (Speed Metal, The Secret Origin)? Could it have been…
