0 on DC: Mech #2 reviewIn the latest issue of DC: Mech, the human race seeks salvation from evil space invaders in the form of giant mech suits. However, Earth’s heroes brawl among themselves when one spaceman decides to offer his help. The story starts with the introduction of three new characters. Firstly, pilots John Stewart and Hal Jordan become…
Nightwing #95 is a shining example of playing into the strengths of the superhero comic medium. There’s a healthy dose of high stakes action and fun cameos, while still maintaining the series’ emotional integrity. Tom Taylor’s script make this delicate balance look effortless, as do Bruno Redondo’s exquisite pencils. Taylor’s latest scripts deliver a high…
SVOT is a heavily used business term. It is an acronym for the phrase, “Single Version Of The Truth.” It means that everyone in the organization has the same information, and should essentially be on the same page. In DC Vs. Vampires, I’m not seeing the synergy. When we last left off, Jayna had just…
Gargantuan adventures now await the DC Universe in the first issue of DC: Mech #1. The new story stands on the shoulders of it's predecessors like Supeman/Batman: Public Enemies, Batman Unlimited: Mechs Vs. Monsters, Fleisher's The Mechanical Monsters, and more. The anime inspired series is set in Kenny Porter and Baldemar Rivas' mechanized alternate universe.…
Hey guys, and welcome back to another issue of Justice League-- No, wait. That doesn't sound right. Let me double-check something... Okay! Good, I was worried for a second. Last month was definitely the final issue of Justice League. Clearly, there must have been a printing error. Let me check the cover again. ...Weird. That's for sure the Justice…
Ah, screw it. Spoilers, I suppose. I was going to write a long-winded analogy about something fun I could compare this book to, but it's not worth my time. This book isn't fun - why should I pretend, even for a moment, that I'm having fun discussing it? Let's get into one of the worst…
Tom Taylor’s Elseworld story of swords and sorcery enters its sixth chapter by stoking the fires of the burning mysteries and misdirection found in this story from the very beginning. So, in the interest of clarity, let's recap what we know so far: In this story, Batman and Superman are both half-brothers in a medieval…
Let’s take a look at some more McFarlane figures, this time for some characters that are based on all different types of source material: two completely different versions of Superman from the comics, a Flash from a movie, another (Reverse) Flash that’s generally faithful to the comics, and a Wonder Woman design that has sprung…
You know, realistically I should be grateful for this arc. Contrary to what I expected, this was not a continuation of the story told in the Justice League Dark backups: a story which, while I loved, ended on a cliffhanger that currently has no planned resolution. Bendis seems to almost completely ignore that - instead focusing…
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…
Joshua Williamson will be replacing Brian Michael Bendis as Justice League writer with April 19th's issue #75... where he will end the series with the death of the world's greatest superheroes! Williamson is teaming up with artist Rafa Sandovel of The Flash to create this 48-page special, which will see the League falling in battle against…
Let me be perfectly clear: I know the risk I'm running by being excited for this book. I know what you're all going to say. Bendis' pretty good but abandoned Legion of Super-Heroes crosses over with Bendis' less than good Justice League? Absolute recipe for disaster. But yet again, as the world's premier (and only (don't call…
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…
If I'm being honest, there's not much to say this week. The latest issue of Justice League Dark isn't a slow one, per se - but I find myself a little less enthralled by it than I am by previous issues thus far. That's mainly because, despite the exciting action and beautiful visuals on display,…
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…
The definitive iteration of the Justice League is back y’all. A follow-up to such a venerated series has a lot to live up to. Especially in a media landscape where the mainstream versions of its heroes have been deformed into mass murderers and sad brooding objectivists. So is it any good? Praise Amazo, it is!…
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…
