1 on Absolute Power: Task Force VII #2 reviewWelcome back to the revolution! Last issue, Amanda Waller sent out her army of Amazo androids to hunt down the world's heroes. Sadly, the villains are able to capture their quarries uncontested for the most part. Now, we join the Doom Patrol and the Aquaman family as they band together to defend Atlantis. Let's take…
We've made it to the end! Like any uncomfortably long and rough road trip, all I want to do is get out and kiss the ground. Before Tom Taylor's Beast World ends, the heroes must figure out how to stop Dr. Hate and Amanda Waller's plans. Show Your Work I don't know when or how,…
As usual, DC promises that every event will be "a game changer," and that the universe "won't be the same." To this end, Beast World features violent mass murder and trauma throughout that world. Most importantly, our optimistic changeling, Beast Boy, is now dead. Before the DC Universe can mourn the lost hero, they must…
Tom Taylor continues to guide the Titans through their first and possibly last time leading a crisis. As the tension and collateral rises, Amanda Waller pulls the trigger at just the right time to undermine the heroes. Let's take a look! Pain, Confusion, Fear, and Loss Where the heroes have begun to run out of…
The first major challenge Gardner Fox presents for his Justice League in Brave In The Bold #28 (1960) is the conqueror, Starro. Throughout the decades, Starro would return, even reincarnating as the innocent "Jarro" in Scott Snyder's No Justice (2018). After the Justice League disbanded, it makes sense to christen the Titans with their own…
As the Out Of The Shadows arc comes to a close, the Titans conclude the first act of the series' most pressing issues. Firstly, Beast Boy continues his mission to challenge the way the Titans save the day. Most importantly, Nightwing solves the mystery of Wally's death using his own methods. Yet, the Titans still…
Titans #4 slows down Tom Taylor's epic to focus on the smaller gears moving the story. As the Titans question their new direction and Wally's impending death, other sinister elements develop before the Titans can realize. One Good Deed At A Time Taylor circles back to the symbiotic relationship between Beast Boy and Raven. Comparatively,…
The Titans have had enough of Brother Blood and his new Church of Blood. Although Sebastian Sanger dedicates himself to a rebrand as a televangelist, the heroes aren't taking any chances. Meanwhile, the shadow of The Flash's future death heavily weighs on the team. As a reminder, the Flash will die 48 hours in the…
Tom Taylor indulges his worst habits in Nightwing #104, creating a comic that seems hellbent on delivering a lackluster finale to an otherwise promising arc. Travis Moore’s art is aesthetically pleasing, but Taylor’s script gives him little to work with, resulting in a bland, surface level reading experience. The cliffhanger from last month had Neron…
The Dawn Of DC is finally upon us. After the death and return of the Justice League in Joshua Williamson's Dark Crisis, Nightwing and the Titans become the premiere team in the DCU. Unfortunately, the target on their back grows larger and larger as the Titans settle into their new position. Forever & A Daze…
Nightwing #103 delivers a fun, genuinely surprising story with impressive art from Travis Moore and Vasco Georgiev. Sometimes Taylor’s sense of humor drains the tension from what should be a thrilling narrative. However, this time the series takes itself more seriously, letting the jokes better integrate itself into the drama, rather than inhibiting it. Nightwing,…
Nightwing #102 is a fun romp that puts Nightwing and the Titans up against a threat that unfortunately isn’t quite up to their standards. Tom Taylor’s script is funny, yet the focus on quips and visual gags undermines any semblance of threat that this month’s villain can offer. It’s not the worst trade off, but…
Nightwing #101 is a ho-hum read that revisits a story thread that would have been better left dangling. In a series that is in the midst of an identity crisis, bringing demons, Lord Neron, and all sorts of supernatural imagery isn’t the best way to convince readers that there’s a coherent vision for the future.…
As a result of the Lazarus Rain among other patent pending "Lazarus" problems, the DC Universe begins to mutate. For better or worse, Legends Reborn sires the return of characters such as The Question II, Trigon, and Firestorm. In addition, Lazarus Planet is gearing up to introduce new characters like Trilogy or City Boy. Masks…
While recent issues delved slightly into Dick Grayson’s darker side by putting him face to face with Tony Zucco, Nightwing #100 is a celebration of all of Dick’s best characteristics. Tom Taylor and a large collection of artists deliver a sentimental, if not messy anniversary issue that sends the series in a new direction. The…
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…
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.…
Nightwing #89 spins a rote murder mystery that serves only to distract from the more engaging moments between Dick Grayson and Jon Kent. This issue reads more like a Tom Taylor greatest hits, built for fans of his recent work before fans of Nightwing himself. Bruno Redondo turns in excellent work as per usual, but…
Nightwing #88 slows down the pace from the previous chapter of the “Get Grayson” arc, which allows Tom Taylor’s script to recalibrate the current threat Dick faces. While last month’s issue was light on plot, leaving Bruno Redondo to treat readers to a visual feast, this chapter feels more like the opening of an arc…
Okay. I know what you're thinking. I was thinking it too. A Titans synergy comic? Who the hell asked for this? That'd be like asking for a Superman comic written by the guy who wrote like, Holy Terror or something. Me. I did. I've wanted to cover a Titans book for ages now. Regardless, you can relax.…
