This is the final issue of Task Force Z. Looking back, I started out liking the series quite a bit, but it has been a case of diminishing returns for me. About halfway through the series, I felt that the story was starting to ramble, and last month’s #11 didn’t quite work for me as…
This is the penultimate issue of Task Force Z. Over the course of the series, the story has been declining in quality, to a point that I’m not entirely sure anymore what Rosenberg is trying to tell us. There is no strong narrative focus anymore as we have been given cliffhangers that feel random; character…
As I’ve said before, Task Force Z’s second half just hasn’t been as strong as its first half. The main problem is that the story’s all over the place and it’s seemingly lost sense of direction. What is this comic trying to say anymore? Where plot twists were interesting and exciting before, now they seem…
I wasn’t really a fan of the previous issue, and I’ve been noticing a dip in quality lately. What the creative team needs to do in order to finish the story on a high note is create narrative focus, especially this late in the game. Is the creative team able to pull that off with…
This is a series that started out pretty strong, but I don’t think that last month’s issue was quite as good. We are getting closer and closer to the endgame stage, so it’s about time that the creative team starts to focus on that endgame. Do they manage that in this issue? Let’s have a…
Last month there was quite a bit of plot development and it felt like the story was really hitting its stride. This series has been entertaining to read and fun to review, but I’m hoping that the comic won’t lose steam now that we’re past the halfway point. This series thrives on forward momentum and…
Last month’s issue ended with Jason being at the mercy of KGBeast, and Two-Face, Freeze and Bane showing up to try and rescue Jason. There was some confusion in the comments last time about whether this is an ongoing or a mini, but the June solicits do indicate that this is indeed a 12-issue run.…
One thing that Task Force Z has been doing well is juggling fun with poignancy without having those two elements clash. It’s also a book that consistently keeps the energy high and that keeps the plot moving. There’s always something going on in this story, and that’s more than I can say about certain other…
So far I’ve been digging Task Force Z. This series has been very entertaining, the characters have been interesting and there have been enough plot twists that make me want to read on. However, this month I find myself being a little more critical of this book, so let’s just get into it. As was…
This is definitely one of the more fun series out right now. There have been some fun twists and turns, great action, and exciting cliffhangers that will make you come back for more. Last month Jason got shot by Deadshot, and this month we’ll find out what happens next. Let’s have a look! This is…
Last month Task Force Z’s mission more or less failed and Jason was about to get eaten by Arkham Knight—it was one hell of a first issue. The series is off to a strong start, but can the creative team keep this up? Let’s have a look. This book’s strength is that it doesn’t take…
On A-Day, Arkham Asylum got destroyed and a lot of villains got killed. Some of those villains—Bane, Man-Bat and Arkham Knight—were turned into zombies and recruited into Task Force Z, a team led by Red Hood. I wasn’t sure what to expect of this title going into it, but it surprised me. So let’s have…
Prepare for a double-dose of spookiness this October, as DC Comics have announced two new series that are sure to chill you the the bone. Or satisfy your desire for horror around Halloween. Either one works. You see, we’ll be getting one book with zombies, and another with vampires. Here’s hoping we complete the hat…
