15 Years of Coverage (2010-2025)
In the newest issue of Undead Gods, two cosmic forces get into an unexpected stare down while the true evil grows stronger. No matter what happens, each action seems to bring readers closer and closer to an inevitably morbid conclusion. In my last review, I openly questioned the point of this series. I can only…
As Christmas gets closer, and we approach the end of our gift guide posts, you may still be on the lookout for a few other items to round out your holiday shopping. One thing that falls by the wayside all too often are gifts for stockings, which shouldn't ever be the case. I mean, grab…
Say, do you folks have any treasured holiday traditions? Things you do with family or friends that really just bring a smile to your face? Something that, if you didn’t do it, it wouldn’t really be the holidays? For me, that thing is watching movies. My mom raised me on the old Rankin Bass Christmas…
Green Lantern pilots Hal Jordan and John Stewart prepare with Wally West to deliver Apokolips their first offensive blow. As the heroes commit to their sacrifice, the rest of the earth puts their faith in whatever Luthor has been working on. DC: Mech #3 is mostly a Green Lantern story. As previously mentioned, John and…
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…
After a long prelude, the war for the three kingdoms finally begins! Hippolyta, Amanda Waller, and the newly crowned Queen Anissa meet face to face on the battlefield. Although, the growing tension between the armies shorten the discussion and edge them all closer to mutually assured oblivion. Medieval politics have not been the same after…
Hey there, Bat Fans! For those of you who didn’t know, I went to NYCC earlier this month, and it was incredible. Nick and Casper tagged along, which was super fun (more on that here), and I’m looking forward to doing it again next year! While I was there, I was lucky enough to get…
This chapter of Tom Taylor's Undead Gods eases off the pedal and focuses on how Anti-life is developing in the wider universe. As the threat continues to grow in the background, heroes, villains, and gods prepare to face the dark forces or perish! Most of the narrative weight rests on the shoulders of three characters.…
Welp. It's here. The last issue of Jurassic League. That can't be right, right? If it's the last issue, that means there's no more, and if there's no more... No. No, I won't let that happen. The cool dinosaur comic cannot end. How am I supposed to go on with no Jurassic League left to review?…
So I've finally sat down at my hotel in New York, New York. Casper and Cam are trying to order food, the rest of the Batman News team are sending their best wishes, and I'm recovering from the jet lag of three flights over thirty hours, which was delayed due to being stuck in customs.…
As the enemies from the stars draw near, the warriors of Earth have their first team mission experience. In this issue, Superman believes it is his birthright to lead. However, unless they can work together, they will remain ill-equipped in confronting the dastardly plans of intergalactic despots or Lex Luthor. Every issue of DC: Mech…
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…
Dark Knights of Steel: Tales From The Three Kingdoms features an anthology of three young adult tales set within the Knights of Steel universe. Tom Taylor, Jay Kristoff, and C.S Pacat transport readers to a simpler time before the war between kingdoms breaks out. Each adventure follows orphans or members of the El family in…
In the latest issue of DC: Mech, the human race seeks salvation from evil space invaders in the form of giant mech suits. However, Earth’s heroes brawl among themselves when one spaceman decides to offer his help. The story starts with the introduction of three new characters. Firstly, pilots John Stewart and Hal Jordan become…
Nightwing #95 is a shining example of playing into the strengths of the superhero comic medium. There’s a healthy dose of high stakes action and fun cameos, while still maintaining the series’ emotional integrity. Tom Taylor’s script make this delicate balance look effortless, as do Bruno Redondo’s exquisite pencils. Taylor’s latest scripts deliver a high…
Transported to an elseworlds of brutal illustrations and onomatopoeias. A "what if" journey limited only by the breadth of the imagination. This is DCeased: War of The Undead Gods. I confess, I'm not that into DCeased as a series. I gave up on it early on as the DC universe began to fall into despair.…
If you're a comics fan, chances are you've seen a character or scene in a book and thought "I wish that was a toy." Well, McFarlane Toys are certainly doing their part to bring us as many action figures and sets as they can, all based on our favorite DC Comics properties. Here we have…
I'd like to begin this review by asking who enjoys this book, and why. It's not like I think Dark Crisis could not possibly have fans. In fact, I envy those who are fans of this book - I'd love to find joy in this event, to be invested in the characters to the point where…
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…
