2 on Batman vs. Robin #3 reviewBatman 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,…
Gotham Knights has been out for about a week ago, and I gotta say- I'm having a blast. The story is heartfelt and interesting, the characters, while a little different than their comic book counterparts, are well-written and heartfelt, and the gameplay, while definitely a big change from the Arkham series, holds its own and…
The best laid schemes of mice and men often go awry. However, the plans of our super men and women have finally started to come together. Victory has come fairly easy for the bloodsucking regime ruling the DC Universe, but this may be the chance to meaningfully flip the script! This week in DC Vs.…
Nightwing #97 is a well executed issue that slows down the series after its bombastic climax in ”The Battle for Blüdhaven’s Heart”. The stakes are well defined, there’s simmering tension as crooked cops remain a present threat, and all the while Heartless remains hidden on the fringes. However, there’s a growing sense of safety and…
Urban Legends is consistently one of the best books I have the pleasure of reviewing. Especially with the last few, we've been given nothing but banger after banger stories, and there's ZERO signs of slowing down here. In fact, I'm so excited about these, I can't think of a proper intro. Let's jump in. Castle Arkham: On…
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…
Nightwing #96 delivers a crowd pleasing, action packed finale to Tom Taylor’s “Battle for Blüdhaven’s Heart” storyline. The action is exciting, the character moments endearing, and the future of the series is brighter than ever. A few plot points feel rushed, particularly given the slow pace of Taylor’s run so far, but it’s hard to…
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, All-Out War isn't much of a war, but finally starts the fight properly. The third installment follows the remaining survivors continuing their mission to extract a high valued target or die trying. Alex Paknadel and Matthew Rosenberg have managed to craft a nihilistic rescue mission set…
My Dungeons and Dragons session got cancelled today, and I'm blaming it all on Dark Crisis. Oh, sorry. Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths, apparently. I find it funny how excited DC was to market this name change - before it even happened in the story, no less! It makes a gal wonder if I should bother using a…
To be honest, I've kind of been struggling to figure out how to properly introduce this thing. Lee Bermejo is one of my favorite Batman artists, and certainly one of the most prolific ever to touch the character. As such, a book that serves as a showcase for his work is a surefire hit. Every…
The fear left in the wake of nuclear destruction puts the “F” in All-Out War. However, the rag tag group of survivors have no time to grieve their losses. The remaining Nightlight members are instead exposed and forced onto the front lines. In the continued monochromatic adventures of All-Out War #2, we take on the…
DC Comics is one of the most popular and prolific publishers on the planet*. Zombies are one of the more popular horror creatures out there too, which makes sense because the undead are both terrifying and easy to adapt to practically any property. Combine the two and you've got yourself DCeased, DC's immensely successful take…
Nightwing #94 manages to keep the tension going strong by raising the stakes even further for Dick, Barbara, and especially Melinda Zucco, who finds herself more prevalent than before. Geraldo Borges fills in for Bruno Redondo again, but still delivers high quality art even if the overall aesthetic is much different. Tom Taylor’s script wastes…
Catwoman #45 brings the Bat family into the series in a major way with mixed results. While Selina and Bruce’s on again off again relationship has never truly left the series, here Tim, Stephanie, Cassandra, and even Dick Grayson all make appearances. These interactions inject some nuance into Selina’s current headspace, but the narrative stumbles…
After dropping Seer off at their door, and promising to help her the Batgirls finish making good on that agreement this month as they wrap up this two part mini-arc. Featuring not only the Batgirls, but Nightwing as well, it’s sure to be a fun one. I enjoyed issue #8 of Batgirls. It’s not perfect,…
[Review is currently without visual aid; images will be added as soon as possible.] I like to put a level of creativity in my reviews - but normally, that's kind of contingent on the story encouraging a creative response. Like Dark Crisis #1, issue #2 does little to convince me such effort is necessary. There's good stuff…
You know, it's funny. I've spent so much time discussing Dark Crisis in my reviews leading up to it... that by the time the event has actually arrived, I feel like I have nothing more to say. I think the book's content - or lack thereof - speaks for itself. Dark Crisis #1 sets the stage…
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…
Nightwing #92 finally has the series return its focus to Blüdhaven and Dick Grayson’s Haven project. There’s been a lack of momentum in the series’ larger narrative, but Tom Taylor’s script better manages to tell a contained story while also setting up compelling pieces with Blockbuster who has mostly stayed on the sidelines until now.…
Nightwing #91 is a strong conclusion to the somewhat unfocused “Get Grayson” era of the series. Since Fear State, a Superman: Son of Kal El crossover, and now a Flash team-up arc have slowed the momentum of the series, the core narrative of Nightwing has been about various assassins trying to kill Dick Grayson. Thankfully,…
