15 Years of Coverage (2010-2025)
·
Gargantuan adventures now await the DC Universe in the first issue of DC: Mech #1. The new story stands on the shoulders of it's predecessors like Supeman/Batman: Public Enemies, Batman Unlimited: Mechs Vs. Monsters, Fleisher's The Mechanical Monsters, and more. The anime inspired series is set in Kenny Porter and Baldemar Rivas' mechanized alternate universe.…
Dinosaurs and superheroes, two species separated by 65 million years of evolution, have just been suddenly thrown back in the mix together. How can we possibly have the slightest idea of what to expect? I'll tell you how. Jurassic League has been straight bangers since issue #1. Issue #3 does not disappoint. Wow, I can't believe…
[Review is currently without visual aid; images will be added as soon as possible.] "The plot thickens!" If you think about it, the phrase is kind of amusing. I've heard it so many times that I've never really taken the time to decipher the meaning of it, but it's a particularly interesting choice of words.…
[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…
Question for you readers at home. What's better than the Justice League but instead of people they're dinosaurs? Trick question. It's absolutely nothing. Anyone who answered anything other than absolutely nothing is wrong and hates fun. Okay, okay. I'm kidding. Kind of. Not really. But kind of. I will not stop fanboying over this book…
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…
This book is about the Justice League if they were dinosaurs. That's it. Recommended if... Overall Why are you still reading this? Go buy the book. 20 copies, at least. Score: Perfect/10 DISCLAIMER: DC Comics provided Batman News with- Okay, I'm being told I have to actually talk about this? I thought you guys were…
Ah, screw it. Spoilers, I suppose. I was going to write a long-winded analogy about something fun I could compare this book to, but it's not worth my time. This book isn't fun - why should I pretend, even for a moment, that I'm having fun discussing it? Let's get into one of the worst…
Tom Taylor’s Elseworld story of swords and sorcery enters its sixth chapter by stoking the fires of the burning mysteries and misdirection found in this story from the very beginning. So, in the interest of clarity, let's recap what we know so far: In this story, Batman and Superman are both half-brothers in a medieval…
Hey guys! Nick here. Yes, I know this is Cam's account, he's right next to me. See, Cam and I are working together on today's review. You might be surprised to see a review for these books go up - you'd think after all this time we just would have skipped them. However, we have…
We've done it! It's over! Well, sort of. Justice League has been something of a mess since... well, in all honesty, since I started reviewing the comic. While having several ups and downs since the end of Scott Snyder's run, issues #40 through #74 have been, above all else, directionless. Bendis' arrival hinted at the iconic team…
As much as I love Batman, I also love the entire DC Universe, and would consider myself a DC fan first and foremost. I'm just as likely to get excited about a Jimmy Olsen comic or something featuring Jack Kirby's Fourth World characters as I am something featuring Batman and his extended cast of characters,…
Let’s take a look at some more McFarlane figures, this time for some characters that are based on all different types of source material: two completely different versions of Superman from the comics, a Flash from a movie, another (Reverse) Flash that’s generally faithful to the comics, and a Wonder Woman design that has sprung…
You know, realistically I should be grateful for this arc. Contrary to what I expected, this was not a continuation of the story told in the Justice League Dark backups: a story which, while I loved, ended on a cliffhanger that currently has no planned resolution. Bendis seems to almost completely ignore that - instead focusing…
When's the last time you really cared about the Justice League? For me, it was probably 2018, with the conclusion of No Justice shortly following Dark Nights: Metal. There was a level of momentum to that story that I adored, and it bought me enough good will to enjoy a lot of Snyder and Tynion's writing…
Joshua Williamson will be replacing Brian Michael Bendis as Justice League writer with April 19th's issue #75... where he will end the series with the death of the world's greatest superheroes! Williamson is teaming up with artist Rafa Sandovel of The Flash to create this 48-page special, which will see the League falling in battle against…
Let me be perfectly clear: I know the risk I'm running by being excited for this book. I know what you're all going to say. Bendis' pretty good but abandoned Legion of Super-Heroes crosses over with Bendis' less than good Justice League? Absolute recipe for disaster. But yet again, as the world's premier (and only (don't call…
Hey all! Nick's still on vacation, so I'm covering Justice League for him this week! Shouldn't be too rough, I love the League! Now, let's see what we have her- Oh. Justice League: The Biggest Score Ever, Part Two (Alternatively: this issue is a comic! It's part of a comic book!) Hey, is Brian Michael Bendis…
Dark Knights of Steel #1 had a lot of ground to cover, wouldn’t you say Matina? For sure! It was a busy, busy first issue. If I’m honest, it was a little too much for me. In our first review, I covered the lengths writer Tom Taylor and artist Yasmine Putri went to pack as…
