Batman Beyond #42 should be a slam-dunk for Dan Jurgens and Sean Chen. It brings the main cast back together, positions Terry’s return to being Batman, and puts Bruce Wayne face to face with Blight himself. Unfortunately, the script offers no surprises and leaves Chen without much to do other than go through the motions…
I am not doing great. Last year, I had little going on in my life, and it was an endless source of frustration for someone just coming out of high school, and looking for direction. When I got this job, that was the first step to finding a routine I felt was both satisfying and…
If it weren’t so similar to previous issues, Batman Beyond #40 would more successfully set a course for the series to proceed. Ever since Batwoman’s introduction, Jurgens’ scripts follow a very similar template. Batwoman saves the day in some inconsequential set piece, Bruce and Matt stand around clueless to her identity, and Blight makes a…
Dan Jurgens doubles down in Nightwing #67 and delivers an issue that is near impossible to recognize as being a Nightwing book. Previous arcs in the “Ric” saga offered glimpses of the optimism that Nightwing embodies, even if Dick Grayson himself wasn’t behind the mask. Nightwing #67 is a grimy book, set at the peak…

Dick Grayson returns for the second half of his first "season" as an agent of Spyral. In We All Die at Dawn, Dick's exploits with his eclectic supporting cast are further detailed as Spyral seeks to bring down a crazed cult, prevent Armageddon, and bring about their own possibly sinister ends. Content Collecting issues 5-8 and Grayson…
Here we are: the end of the line. The grand finale.* Some third "this is the end" cliché. The difficulty I'm having, as I have for the past few months, is reviewing this book as it is and not how I wish it would have been. Given the early spoiler that Dick would don a costume once…
