REVIEW: BATMAN #16
The “Death of the Family” crossover extravaganza grinds on this month in Batman 16, “Castle of Cards.” I think the first issue of this in Batman was fantastic, with the Joker assaulting Gotham PD. I think that was a phenomenally ... Read More »
REVIEW: WORLD’S FINEST #8
One of the main complaints about Worlds’ Finest, both from me and posters on various boards, is the lack of progression. We have two smart, resourceful heroines that are trapped on an Earth that isn’t theirs, and they don’t like ... Read More »
REVIEW: EARTH 2 #8
Closing in on a year of the title, and there’s still no team in sight for “Earth 2,” which many hoped would be the DCNU’s version of the Justice Society. With many plot threads dangling, and all manner of potential ... Read More »
REVIEW: TALON #3
Calvin Rose’s hunt for the remaining Court of Owls continues in Talon #3 “Sting of the Past.” Rose and his fellow Owl hater Clark (whose method of operating seems to parallel early Oracle/Black Canary to me) take their act on ... Read More »
REVIEW: ALL-STAR WESTERN #15
You can sum up All Star Western #15 in a few short sentences. Mr. Hyde infects Dr. Arkham with the tainted Jeckyll formula. Arkham goes on a rampage, And Hex and Hyde fight a LOT. That’s the vast majority of ... Read More »
REVIEW: AQUAMAN #15
Aquaman 15 is, in a rarity for DC, part of a crossover! Of course, I’m kidding. I think DC is going to get to the point where they have more crossovers than regular issues. This one, “Throne of Atlantis,” involves ... Read More »
The Kort Report

The Kort Report
Aquaman #14 Issue #14 of Aquaman is another solid read written by Geoff Johns featuring strong debuts by pencillers Pete Woods and Pere Perez. This issue is a prelude to the Throne of Atlantis, which will be running from ... Read More »
REVIEW: NIGHTWING #15
The “Death of the Family” crossover continues in Nightwing 15, “Cleaning House.” Jimmy, the ringmaster for Haly’s circus, is killed by the Joker, in part because the posters around town with Jimmy on them make him look a bit like ... Read More »
REVIEW: LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #15
In Legion of Super Heroes 15, “Once Upon A Dream,” well, not a whole lot happens, really. The issue opens with new Legionnaire Glortih being drawn from her bed by a mysterious voice that sends her through a portal to ... Read More »
REVIEW: BATGIRL #15
Continuing from last issue’s clifffhanger, Batgirl faces off against the Joker. This is a much harder-edged Batgirl, but it’s understandable. Not only did the Joker assault her and put her in a wheelchair, but he now has her mother hostage ... Read More »
