4 on Justice Society of America (2023) #6 reviewOh my god, it actually came out on schedule. This week on: Geoff Johns just kinda does whatever… You guessed it! Geoff Johns just kinda does whatever! This issue focuses on the lost kids that are Johns’ new pet project: sidekicks to the JSA that no one remembered until just now because… time travel! The…
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…
Questions are answered in Tom King and Clay Mann’s Batman/Catwoman #11, though many readers will find the resolutions to be lacking. King’s scripts have kept the reader at a distance in many ways. Between his non-linear narrative and the time skips between issues, it’s no surprise that when the pieces finally fall into place it…
Batman/Catwoman #10 puts its chips on the table as the story pivots from simmering tension to an all out brawl across all three of its storylines. Clay Mann’s return to art duties makes things more tactile than the past few issues, while Tom King’s script finally gets to let loose and shed much of the…
Batman/Catwoman #9 is an intense read as Tom King’s script expertly bounces across three time periods, greatly aided by Liam Sharp’s increasingly surreal art. Each of the three storylines here are equally engaging, leading to one of the most gripping issues of the series so far. Last issue’s cliffhanger is immediately addressed as Joker betrays…
Batman/Catwoman #6 is one of the better entries of the series so far. While the narrative momentum still has its issues between the delayed shipping schedule and the three time period structure, the tangible moment to moment scenes are more engaging than usual. Now if only I could remember what the hell is going on.…
Batman/Catwoman #5 marks a moment in the series where a lack of coherent narrative thrust hinders otherwise solid sequences. Clay Mann’s art remains solid as ever, though his work with the older Selina shows some strain, but Tom King’s script finds itself wavering due to the self-imposed three-headed narrative structure. Of the three storylines here,…
Batman/Catwoman #3 refines some themes Tom King set up in previous issues while slightly advancing the core narrative across the three time periods established so far. There’s no surprises in this issue, but the tense atmosphere remains palpable despite a narrative that amounts to spinning plates and waiting for one to finally crash. In previous…
