JUSTICE LEAGUE #75     DC COMICS It’s hard not to have spoilers when they’ve been advertised for months and are plastered across the d*mn cover. And while overwhelming media coverage and the fact that this is yet another case of “The Next Big Thing to Start off the NEXT, NEXT Big Thing” , I will … Read more

BATMAN/SUPERMAN WORLD’S FINEST #2     DC COMICS I guess we need to thank DC Comics for leaving this title the h, e, double hockey sticks alone. No continuity, no cross promoting epic storylines, just good clean old school fun! And thankfully, Mark Waid proves time and time again that he not only understands the characters … Read more

PROJECT SUPERPOWERS FRACTURED STATES #1     DYNAMITE An energetic start but missing the usually huge cast of heroes we’ve grown accustom to seeing from the Project Superpowers series. We do get the death of the Flag but after that we get directly into the story. With Ron Marz and Andy Lanning’s dystopian future of 2052, … Read more

WAR FOR EARTH-3 #2     DC COMICS Honestly, this is another example of a pointless waste of talent employed to accomplish nothing. Multiple super teams, multiple betrayals and double-crosses and in the end, Amanda Waller and her Earth 3 version of a Justice League disappear into the Multiverse. Talon gets offed by a Waller Neck … Read more

ROGUES #1     DC COMICS (BLACK LABEL) I could go on and on about how Flash’s Rogues Gallery is by far the best group of DC super-villian family. And I do not use the term family lightly. They have always been a family ever since they first starting appearing in Flash comics. They argued, they … Read more

BATMAN/SUPERMAN WORLD’S FINEST #1     DC COMICS In the beginning there was World’s Best Comics. Then in issue #2, it became World’s Finest and for the first 70 issues, it was an anthology book where the covers were the only place Batman and Superman interacted. Then someone had the brainstorm to do a story inside … Read more

BATMAN & SCOOBY-DOO MYSTERIES #12     DC COMICS A final issue bonanza as writer Sholly Fisch and artist Dario Brizuela pull out all the stops in this grand celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the very first Batman-Scooby-Doo team-up! (Which I can proudly say I was around for!) When Mystery Inc. check out a hotel … Read more

WAR FOR EARTH-3     DC COMICS Even Ambush Bug’s wise acre comments can’t save this one. With an endless amount of potential and an endless list of contributors in both the art and writing, this one had a chance of being an excellent crossover. But the truth of the matter is that this title so … Read more

AQUAMEN #1     DC COMICS You know, Aquaman is one of those characters that DC has a long history of making bad decisions with and really not knowing what to do with. So it only makes sense to make two of them. One issue in and we still have Arthur Aquaman trying to teach Jackson … Read more
