If you want to make this particular comic fan happy, you can do worse than announcing that Mark Waid will be writing a new DC Comics series. If you want to make me really happy, announce that he's writing two new DC Comics series. If you want to make me really, really happy, make sure…
Last year, DC Comics released DC Nation ahead of Free Comic Book Day, which was a 25-cent comic that had stories from heavyweights like Tom King and Scott Snyder. Besides being a lot of comic for a dirt cheap price, DC Nation also serves as a preview for some of 2018’s biggest storylines. In an…
It was huge news when it hit this past fall, but in case you haven't heard: Brian Michael Bendis is now a writer for DC Comics. The longtime Marvel mainstay, who created the likes of Miles Morales and Jessica Jones as well as the Image Comics book Powers, has signed a multi-year, exclusive contract with…
So yeah, I totally thought this was supposed to be the final chapter of "Super Sons of Tomorrow," and read it accordingly. On the one hand, I'm glad that it isn't the end, because the way things wrap up here would be a pretty unsatisfying conclusion. On the other hand, this crossover hasn't been stellar,…
This is the first chapter of the 5-part crossover, Super Sons of Tomorrow. The issue is fast paced, full of action, and sets the stage for the rest of the arc (which runs through Super Sons #11, Teen Titans #15, Superman #38 and Super Sons #12). Now, I’ll go ahead and say this up front:…
Superboy is under the control of Manchester Black! With the mastermind (and master plan) revealed, Superman and friends must stop Black and restore Jon's will before things escalate further. But can they? Find out in an extra-sized Superman #25! A little muddled early on The first half of our story deals with the inevitable battle…
What a week. With Superman #21 here, we effectively get two Super Sons issues in one day. What a wonderful world it can be. Before jumping into the issue proper, I just want to admire the opening page there and the very next panel. It's... it's just wonderful. Jon is so full of hope and…
You have no idea how hard I had to fight myself to not open the review with "look, up in the sky..." But really, this is Superman. It feels like Superman, and all of the unabashed optimism and hope that he brings. It's impossible to look at that spread above and not think of this,…
There will come a day, if it hasn't arrived already, where Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason's names will be listed among the greatest comic book collaborative teams. With their work on the consistently excellent Batman and Robin and the one-two punch of the near-perfect Superman #10 and this week's not-quite-as-great-but-still-really-really-good Superman #11, Tomasi and Gleason…
Tomasi and Gleason did not create Damian Wayne, but they perfected him in Batman and Robin. And they did not create Jon Kent, but they are already setting a high standard for him in Superman. So what happens when the most dynamic duo in the comics industry brings together the sons of the World's Finest heroes? Spoilers follow.…
I'm going to warn you right up front: there be spoilers here. To discuss the sheer awesomeness of Superman #5 requires revealing things that many of you may wish to discover for yourselves while reading the book. If you're one of those people, close your browser tab now, and come back later after you've read it…
Think about all of the comics you've read, and all of the knowledge you've acquired over the days, weeks, months, years, or decades you've been a fan. Think about the characters, events, powers, and personalities you've encountered in the funny pages. Now, think about the most horrifying thing that could possibly happen in comics, the…
After two months of Peter Tomasi's "Final Days of Superman" story, we have at last reached the end. Can the combined might of Batman, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, and two Clarks defeat the delusional Superflare? And is this really the end for the New 52's Superman? Superman #52 is an action-packed, slightly oversized answer to those very questions. A…
There's always a job for Superman It's 2016, and DC's enormous Rebirth initiative looms close on the horizon. During the months of April and May, Pete Tomasi and an assortment of artists will be taking over all of the Superman titles for "Super League", an eight-part crossover event which should lead us right into Rebirth and a…
Superman: American Alien #3: "Parrot" Written by Max Landis Illustrated by Joëlle Jones Colored by Rico Renzi Lettered by John Workman Before we jump into this review, let's look at that cover. I like some of the details, like the Batsymbol in the boat's wake, but take a look at the central figure, the primary…
