13 on Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #4 reviewMy 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…
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…
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: one of the greatest assets that McFarlane Toys has with their DC Multiverse figures is the variety of characters and properties they represent. More than that, they pull from all sorts of entertainment mediums, from comics to video games to movies and television shows. It seems…
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…
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…
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…
You guys ever just read an issue of a comic and remember why you started reading that book in the first place? That was me with Urban Legends #17. This book is nothing but pure, wacky team-up fun, and I LOVE it. It might be because I've been watching a lot of Brave and the Bold recently, but I…
[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…
Remember those times when Tyler Hoechlin appeared as Superman on Supergirl and then met the entire cadre of heroes during the Crisis on Infinite Earths? Well, apparently that was a different Superman, and a different Lois, than the ones we're seeing on the CW's excellent Superman & Lois every week. This revelation comes courtesy showrunner…
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…
In my review of Flashpoint Beyond #0, I began with what I felt was an important preface before diving into the review itself. I have inherent objections to the book, from its metatextual commentary to behind-the-scenes circumstances regarding it existing in the first place. Those complaints still apply here, but I'm at least happy to say…
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…
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…
Nightwing #91 is a strong conclusion to the somewhat unfocused “Get Grayson” era of the series. Since Fear State, a Superman: Son of Kal El crossover, and now a Flash team-up arc have slowed the momentum of the series, the core narrative of Nightwing has been about various assassins trying to kill Dick Grayson. Thankfully,…
It's 2011, and DC needs a fresh start. Flashpoint, written by Geoff Johns, is released. This event is a company-wide movement, propelling DC into a new, rebooted universe with the New 52. The New 52 recieved great commercial acclaim - but mixed critical and fan reception, to say the least. Four years later, DC would…
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…
Nightwing #90 features yet another attempt on Dick Grayson’s life, courtesy of Blockbuster and the city officials who are in his pocket. While the narrative definitely spins its wheels with a third issue dedicated to attempts on Dick’s life, this one succeeds in upping the stakes by putting more civilians in harm’s way as ever.…
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…
