4 on Nightwing #102 reviewNightwing #102 is a fun romp that puts Nightwing and the Titans up against a threat that unfortunately isn’t quite up to their standards. Tom Taylor’s script is funny, yet the focus on quips and visual gags undermines any semblance of threat that this month’s villain can offer. It’s not the worst trade off, but…
After an encounter with Ghost-Maker's ex-sidekick leaves them shaken, Batman Inc. flies to Gotham to do Batman a solid. However, Professor Pyg's rampage could be a more complex nightmare waiting to happen! Clownhunter may not have killed Ghost-Maker for Phantom-One, but he hasn't forgotten the events of the previous issue. While he hasn't left…
We're back with a blast from the past (a few, actually) in this week's issue of Gilded City! This whole mini has been better than it had any right to be, especially for a video game tie-in comic, and I honestly would love to see this Narcisse/Abel/John/Wands team on a future bat-project, unhindered by any obligations…
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…
Punchline and The Royal Flush Gang go on the offensive against Gotham's crime families. As the war in the city begins to look dire, Punchline releases an unexpected "Ace In The Hole." ba-dum-tiss! The investigation that began in issue #3 finds new legs as Ventura Freemont explores the crime scene. Even though the city moves…
Nightwing #101 is a ho-hum read that revisits a story thread that would have been better left dangling. In a series that is in the midst of an identity crisis, bringing demons, Lord Neron, and all sorts of supernatural imagery isn’t the best way to convince readers that there’s a coherent vision for the future.…
As a result of the Lazarus Rain among other patent pending "Lazarus" problems, the DC Universe begins to mutate. For better or worse, Legends Reborn sires the return of characters such as The Question II, Trigon, and Firestorm. In addition, Lazarus Planet is gearing up to introduce new characters like Trilogy or City Boy. Masks…
We're back! The Runaway's adventures continue, and the FOMO Fear Gas is still spreading! What secrets connect the two? Will our heroes, past and present, be able to stop their respective crises? Let's find out! The Runaway I think I've said it in just about every review so far, but The Runaway is such an…
While recent issues delved slightly into Dick Grayson’s darker side by putting him face to face with Tony Zucco, Nightwing #100 is a celebration of all of Dick’s best characteristics. Tom Taylor and a large collection of artists deliver a sentimental, if not messy anniversary issue that sends the series in a new direction. The…
Well, it's finally here. The final issue of Urban Legends. I have to say, I'll be really sad to see this series go. We've had highs and lows, for sure, but man, those highs were high. We got some genuinely great stories out of this thing, like the Question/Batman team-up, the super fun Ace and friends storyline,…
It's time to dive back into Gotham with our favorite vigilantes! A quick aside before we get started, I've been playing the Heroic Assault raids in Gotham Knights: The Game the Comic the Game, and they're a lot of fun! I teamed up with some friends, and we were able to clear most of the floors…
This is it! Beginning when Andrew Bennett couldn't keep his woman in check, DC Vs. Vampires' drives the bloodshed to a surprisingly domestic conclusion. As Batgirl's forces make a play at The Dark King, everyone else scrambles to fight back the vampire horde. Hunters, Killers, And All-Out War Let's start with John Constantine. This story…
[SPOILER WARNING: This review will spoil the entirety of Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths.] Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 is the final issue in what began as the Dark Crisis event - concluding every story thread that began with Infinite Frontier, along with establishing new setup for the tales to come. Written by Joshua Williamson and…
I can't believe this series is almost over! I'll save most of my retrospective and pining for more for the final review, but just know that there will be plenty. For now, let's take a look at this surprisingly stellar penultimate issue, because this series refuses to fade out quietly. Nightwing Presenting: The Director, Part…
Nightwing #99 is a refreshingly simple, clear cut story that adds a welcome, nautical themed mystery to Blüdhaven’s criminal underworld. The core drama comes with the return of Tony Zucco, the man who killed Dick Grayson’s parents, but the real excitement comes from the seeds Tom Taylor plants for both Nightwing and Blüdhaven itself. There’s…
Ahh, Christmas. A time for love, laughter, family, and-- if you’re anything like teenage Cam (that's me, I'm Cam)-- hiding away from it all upstairs playing video games while the adults talk and do the dishes. For me, the Arkham games that got me through the most trying holiday seasons. But now, I’m older. Jaded. Roped…
Nightwing Annual: 2022 #1 delivers a trio of stories with only one of them truly being worth your time. While it’s a little odd to have Heartless’ origin in an issue some readers may skip, Taylor’s script delivers a deliciously over the top rundown of who Heartless is and how he came to be. Unfortunately,…
After a pretty solid first issue, and a REALLY solid month of playing this game, this series is back with its second installment, and it's great! I've been really impressed with this series so far, both the game and the comic have been way better than I think anyone was expecting. I don't want to…
Sorry, I will be your substitute reviewer until Nic returns! DC Comics expects readers to regard Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths as a significant story. It certainly has all the trappings of a major crisis event. Its pages tout large scale battles with heroes, villains, impossible machines, and other multiversal shenanigans. Even so, why does…
We're back again this week with more of your favorite anthology series, and it's a great issue, folks! There's some really creative stories this time around, and I don't want to waste too much time up here, so let's jump right in! The Wheelman of Gotham The initial installment of this incredible issue follows Batman…
