6 on Justice League #72 reviewYou 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…
Andy Muschietti's The Flash won't hit theaters until November, but fans eager to see the Scarlet Speedster's first feature film can pick up a tie-in comic this April! Batman, presumably based on Ben Affleck's depiction, is heavily featured in the prequel as Flash's mentor. The Dark Knight will train Flash for a fight against Girder,…
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…
Hey everyone! ICE to see you! The holidays are here, and who better to spread some holiday cheer than everyone's favorite Batman News Authors, Cam and Matina (with a little guest appearance from Jay, of course)? Well, don't tell Nick we said anything, but no one! That's why we've teamed up to skate through what's personally…
Earlier this year we looked at the 2020 model of the Secretlab Titan gaming chair, with detailing inspired by the 2020 Birds of Prey movie. Just like superheroes are continually leveling up, though, so is Secretlab. This time, we're checking out the 2022 Secretlab Titan, which promises to do everything the previous models did right,…
Okay, this is getting exhausting. I like to think my reviews have a modicum of effort put into them. Whether or not you agree with my assessments, I tend to put a good few hours into each article I put up. I consider it a serious privilege to be able to post my thoughts to…
Ah, Injustice. Will you never cease to haunt me? I absolutely LOVED this game back in 2013. I mean, a fighting game where I can play as Green Lantern, Superman, and all my other DC favorites that WASN'T Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe?!?!? Absolutely insane. I still remember getting home from the summer camp where I had read…
With over eighty years of history, and a presence across multiple mediums, DC Comics has a deep, deep well of characters and content to merchandise. You can pull from comics, movies, TV, video games, and even books and radio shows and still barely scratch the surface of all they have to offer. And it’s a…
You know, there's nothing quite so existentially horrifying as hittting 23 years of age, and realizing the first thing you have to do is review an issue of Brian Michael Bendis' Justice League - which is exactly why this review is late! I'd apologize, but read this panel and then tell me you don't understand. Luckily,…
Wow! I hated this issue! Like, oh my god! At first I thought it was the state of mind I was in at the time of my first reading, but no - looking through it again, I could not bring myself to like this. At all! Not even the usual high standard of Justice League…
If I'm being honest, there's not much to say this week. The latest issue of Justice League Dark isn't a slow one, per se - but I find myself a little less enthralled by it than I am by previous issues thus far. That's mainly because, despite the exciting action and beautiful visuals on display,…
This week might have to involve a bit of "phoning it in", as they say. It's not that either Justice League or Justice League Dark have terrible instalments this week - in fact, both stories make clear efforts to progress the story and get their audiences excited for what's to come. That being said, I'm not all…
Alright, that's it. Justice League and its backup, Justice League Dark, do not belong in the same comic book. Both of these books have their merits (though those who have read my reviews until now know which of the two I prefer), but they do not compliment each other well at all. Bendis' Justice League is a…
On the cover for Justice League #63, Black Adam and Naomi are despicted as standing back to back, concerned for their fates as the faces of the Justice League loom over them, casting judgment. The caption of the cover reads "Black Adam and Naomi ACCUSED", and it couldn't be more ominous as to what they've done in…
I found out I was bisexual some time during 2018. There were signs, of course. I'm sure if you talk to enough of my friends, you'll find a few who said they kind of figured - I certainly had a few employers who thought I was flat-out gay, which was a funny conversation to have.…
Okay. This was bound to happen sooner or later. Justice League has managed to avoid my ire for three generally decent issues, but that wasn't going to last forever. I would have liked it to last a little longer - but alas, issue #62 is the first of Bendis and Marquez's run that I've genuinely not…
Justice League: Prisms I remember when I started reading Scott Snyder’s Justice League, fresh off the heels of Dark Nights: Metal and No Justice. Honestly, the beginning of that book was one of the best openings to a team book I’d ever read: it established the team dynamic perfectly, set up an interesting and high-stakes…
Well, we knew this was going to happen sooner or later. Brian Michael Bendis entering the world of DC Comics was one of the biggest creative shakeups that the two companies have had in some time... though I can’t say I’m all for what DC got out of the deal. From Daredevil to Immortal Hulk,…
The general mood around DC’s latest “shake up” seems to be one of skepticism, and that is one hundred percent valid. Over the past few years they’ve thrown a nonstop deluge of crises, reboots, and relaunches ranging from nonsensical, to half-assed, to dead-on-arrival at us. The real question, to me at least, is why do…
