Tales from the Dark Multiverse (comic)

2 on Outsiders #3 reviewIn this next fantastical issue of Kelly and Lanzing's Outsiders, Luke and Kate explore a niche pocket universe. However, before the two know it, they end up knee deep in an uncomfortable amount of parallel Batmen. Let's take a closer look! Because Why Not Following the book's episodic format, the Outsiders choose another random mystery…
So, I’m starting to suspect that people think I don’t like Dark Nights: Death Metal. Honestly, I’m not sure what gave it away. Do you think it was the consistent 5/10’s I gave to books others have considered to be the best parts of the series (Speed Metal, The Secret Origin)? Could it have been…
Okay, so what do we all actually think about Flashpoint? I don’t think I ever found a consensus on the story. From reviews at the time, I got the sense that people thought it was an interesting event that was weighed down by its stakes and scale – never able to live up to its…
Dear Lord, have I been stuck in a time loop for a year? When I began my review gig at Batman News, I had no ongoing books I was assigned to review. All I had were miniseries: Batman vs Ra’s al Ghul, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, Joker/Harley: Criminal Sanity, and Tales from the Dark…
Ah, dang it. I’ll cut right to the chase: I wasn’t a fan of this issue. It’s disappointing, because every other issue of this anthology series has been solid so far; I’ve had my complaints, sure, but the concept of the series has been fun and the delivery has ranged from good to great. In…
Ohohoho. Ohohohohohoho. You wanna talk about Crisis events, DC? Sure, we can talk about Crisis events. BRING OUT THE CHARTS. I love talking about Crisis events. They’re so confusing and they bring up five hundred questions that will never be answered unless you’re someone with too much time on their hands (hello!). Seeing as…
You know, when I was given the chance to review these Tales from the Dark Multiverse stories, I was ecstatic at the opportunity to handle “What If?” tales from some of my favourite properties. Knightfall, The Death of Superman, Blackest Night, Infinite Crisis and The Judas Contract – all iconic tales worthy of darker…
It’s 1992, and Superman is dead. I covered some of what made 90’s comics so distinguishable in the Dark Multiverse Knightfall one-shot, but maybe I should have saved some of that commentary. The Death of Superman was THE 90’s comic, when a character's mortality was not only still unexpected, but still INCREDIBLY marketable. The Death…
Ah, the 90’s. What a time that was. To the mind of a youngster such as myself, I view the 90’s with rose-tinted glasses. Everything seemed peppy, vibrant, energetic – most everything I saw was probably a knockoff of stuff from the 80’s, but what did it matter? Kids lived and died by Saturday Morning…
In DC Comics’ hit event Metal-- from Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, of course-- the idea of a “Dark Multiverse” that manifests all of our fears and darkest desires was an interesting twist on the established Multiverse concept of the DC Universe. We got to see some of it in play, particularly with the Dark…
