  • Batgirls #7 review

    Now that Batgirls has wrapped up its first arc, the story is moving forward at a steady pace into its next one. Last issue ended with Seer literally knocking at the girls' door, one of their enemies having come straight to them. Will they hear out her plea for help, or send her packing?  Already…


  • Batgirls #5 review

    My excitement over Batgirls seems to be dwindling with every issue I pick up. Five issues in and I feel like the plot is in roughly the same place it was at the very start, which doesn't make for a very exciting story. The Batgirls are still fighting the same set of villains they were…


  • I Am Batman #5 review

    "Represent. Always represent." These are the words that conclude I Am Batman #5, and they feel almost cathartic. Not only is it the final line in a genuinely good scene - one that actually does feel earned, to boot - but it also feels like a turning point. With these words, we're finally given a real direction…


  • I am Batman #4 review

    I am Batman #4 is a comic dedicated to cleaning up plot threads and establishing a new status quo that doesn’t seem too different than what just came before. The Magistrate is in shambles, Simon Saint is behind bars, and characters spend a lot of time discussing what just happened as opposed to what happens…


  • Catwoman #37 review

    Catwoman #37 deftly manages to raise tensions across separate plot threads that culminate in a satisfying conclusion for Alleytown’s scrappy defense against Fear State and the Magistrate threat. Ram V’s script wisely chooses to keep most elements of his main narrative and intertwine them with this event tie-in arc. This helps smooth over the lack…


  • Nightwing #84 review

    Nightwing #84 is a skippable, yet breezy enough read for long time fans. Tom Taylor’s script doesn’t spend much time addressing dangling plot threads from the main narrative, and instead dives head first into Fear State and the newfound dangers that come along with it. Robbi Rodriguez’s art is a fine enough fill-in, though the…


  • Catwoman #31 review

    Catwoman #31 brings the series back to a heist oriented storyline, but Ram V’s script delivers these familiar goods in a stylish package. Fernando Blanco is allowed to stretch his comedic muscles more than usual, whether it be through taking jabs at high society or the sly glances Selina exchanges with her allies right before…


  • Catwoman #29 review

    Catwoman #29 is another strong outing for Ram V and Fernando Blanco that manages to expand the scope of the series without falling under the weight of its ambition. There are aspects of the narrative that feel a little sudden, but the added characters spice up the series and gently nudge the book into a…
