1 on The Legend Of Kingdom Come Documentary Kickstarter Announced!A behind-the-scenes documentary about Mark Waid and Alex Ross' Kingdom Come is heading to Kickstarter! Unmistakably iconic and culturally impactful, Legend of Kingdom Come will feature the origins, interviews, and reflections about the 90s comic series of the same name. For those unaware, Kingdom Come was a 1996 comic mini-series by artist Alex Ross and writer…
It's the last issue of this miniseries, and the Titans are gearing up to face their greatest foe yet: themselves! Can Robin pull the team together in time to stop the Terror Titans and save the future of superhero-dom as we know it? Let's dive in and find out! When there's trouble... This was a…
Waid’s World’s Finest comics have been a stellar exercise in modernizing what we love about the old days. All the bright, flashy, simple costumes have been updated to reflect more modern sensibilities; the stories are as campy and goofy as we all know and loved, but with deeper, more fleshed out characters reminiscent of current…
Howdy, Bat-fans! We're back again with one of the best comics coming out of DC these days, and I really can't stress enough how much I love it. After the action-packed antics of the last few issues, it's time to slow down and get a little slice-of-life stuff in. Let's check in on our heroes…
Hey there, Bat-fans! As many of you may know, I’m a huge fan of Mark Waid’s work. My first encounter with him was his Legion of Super-Heroes run when I was 11, during my initial period of obsession with the team, and I fell head over heels for his writing. Since then, I’ve read countless more of his…
Batman vs. Robin #5 wraps up the series with a suitable amount of heart and bombast, even if the ultimate result feels familiar. While reading the previous Lazarus Planet issues isn’t required, some may find themselves a little lost if they only stuck to this mainline series. Mark Waid’s script does a decent job of…
Lazarus Planet finally comes back around to its main storyline. As the Lazarus storm rages on, King Fire Bull makes his move on Black Alice. All the heroes, villains, and sorcerers unite together to bring magic back to normal for the sake of the planet. Nevertheless, their combined efforts may not be enough. Nobody wants…
Built on the back of the narrative started in Batman/Superman: World's Finest and Batman Vs. Robin, Mark Waid infects the entire DC magical Universe with a massive story about the conflict between fathers and sons. Can We Save The Planet? Lazarus Planet begins with Batman's failure and the destruction of Lazarus Island by King Fire…
Batman vs. Robin #4 is an action packed, emotionally resonant penultimate chapter that expertly brings together various threads from the series into a satisfying brawl. Mahmud Asrar and Scott Godlewski turn in excellent art that deliver the high stakes goods, while also deftly handling Waid’s melodramatic tendencies. The first three pages clearly establish the current…
Dark Crisis: The Dark Army is the next entry in the current Dark Crisis event. Here it focuses less on the major players and world ending battle happening in the main titles, to a smaller team intent on figuring out a way to stop Pariah’s Dark Army. On the whole, The Dark Army is a…
Batman vs. Robin #3 runs like clockwork, efficiently setting up an easy to track sequence of events that deliver fun action while also digging into the core dynamics of the Bat family. Art duties are split between Mahmud Asrar and Scott Godlewski, who both turn in solid work without a noticeable shift in quality. However,…
Batman vs. Robin #2 delivers a spectacle of exposition, clearly establishing the stakes and motivations of every character. It’s a risky endeavor, but Mahmud Asrar’s sense of style and Mark Waid’s sense of humor elevate what could have been a dry read into a thrilling, and often funny, chapter. Right from the start, Waid’s script…
Batman vs. Robin #1 overcomes most of the pitfalls a “versus” title faces at its very conception. I don’t like seeing heroes fight each other, but the return of a fan favorite character and aggressive pacing allows Mark Waid and Mahmud Asrar to cut to the chase and deliver equal parts spectacle and character drama.…
