REVIEW: TALON #7
I was really enjoying the first several issues of Talon. I thought it was cleverly done and, aside from a nagging doubt about to much going on in Gotham without Batman apparently noticing, a good solid title. Last issue they ... Read More »
REVIEW: ALL-STAR WESTERN #19
All Star Western has a somewhat surprising (if you’ve avoided spoilers) guest star this month: Booster Gold. Booster encounters Jonah Hex as Hex is on the trail of particularly nasty killers. Booster, it seems, suddenly appeared in the Old West ... Read More »
REVIEW: JUSTICE LEAGUE #19
Geoff Johns tackles quite a bit in this issue; The Red Hood and Alfred attacked in the Batcave by a mysterious assailant, Superman and Wonder Woman stopping civil unrest in Kahndaq, while Atom and Firestorm explore the Watchtower, and Batman ... Read More »
REVIEW: JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA’S VIBE #3
One of the most recent new titles from DC has been Vibe, which is a strange mix of the original character from the 80′s, blended with some of his former teammate’s histories, and elements of the New 52. Sterling Gates ... Read More »
REVIEW: NIGHTWING #19
I had some reservations when I read about the upcoming changes in the Nightwing title. Issue 19, “Second City,” ended up being about like I thought. Pursuing a lead from Sonia Branch, Dick Grayson has left Gotham for Chicago to try and track ... Read More »
REVIEW: LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #19
Paul Levitz has been handling the rebooted Fatal Five really well. They are deadly, organized, and so far seem more than a match for the Legion of Super Heroes, even if the LSH has a numerical advantage. It’s hard to ... Read More »
REVIEW: DETECTIVE COMICS #19
This 80 page spectacular features five different stories and plenty of pin-up art by various artists celebrating the 900th issue of Detective. John Layman writes four of the five stories with a different artist for each of the stories. True, ... Read More »
REVIEW: JUSTICE LEAGUE #16
In this issue of Justice League, Aquaman battles the League in hopes that his brother, Ocean Master, and his troops will evacuate the surface world and retreat back to the waters. Johns’ handling of Aquaman really shines this issue, just ... Read More »
REVIEW: NIGHTWING #16
The Death of the Family continues as The Joker wreaks havoc in Nightwing 16. I admit I don’t like this particular crossover, nor am I fan of DC’s seemingly near-constant crossover mode in general. And frankly, this was a weak ... Read More »
REVIEW: LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #16
I commented that last month’s Legion of Super Heroes had not had a whole lot happening. This month, too, seems to be more a setup for future storylines than a lot going on now. In various vignettes, Phantom Girl and ... Read More »
REVIEW: BATGIRL #16
I’ve been saying that one of my problems with this “Death of the Family” crossover is that it’s running a bit long. As much as I usually like Gail Simone’s writing, I think that’s true even of her Batgirl tie-ins. ... Read More »
