The cover of I Am Batman #0, with Jace Fox suited up in the Batsuit, with dust and smoke surrounding him.
I Am Batman #0! Comic Book Reviews 8/11

The dominance of Batman on my tier list returns with I Am Batman and Batman: Urban Legends. They’re both excellent steps towards better representation, but I Am Batman falters a bit out the gate. It spends too much time setting up what previous Jace Fox series should have already established. But we can forgive the […]

Joke, as scene in Suicide Squad: Get Joker, stands in front of TV screens with the faces of Red Hood, Harley Quinn, and Wild Dog on them. He also holds a crowbar over his head.
Suicide Squad: Get Joker! Comic Book Reviews 8/4

We get a surprise Black Label book in Suicide Squad: Get Joker, and while its certainly edgy, it’s good too. It’s nice to see a new Black Label book that’s not about Batman after more were just announced last week. Hopefully it leads to more non-Batman Black Label books, though that would be surprising considering […]

Icon & Rocket float above a city, side-by-side, facing the reader.
Icon & Rocket Return! Comic Book Reviews 7/28

It feels like we’re under the second Reign of the Supermen with three Superman books out this week, two of them being new number ones. We have the long awaited Superman: Son of Kal-El, headed by Tom Taylor, and the continually amazing Action Comics. Both stun and amaze, but the most important one, is the […]

Superman stands in the middle with Manchester Black in the top left corner on a tv screen behind him, Midnighter on a screen to the top right, Enchantress to the bottom left, and Omac to the bottom right.
Superman & the Authority & Comic Book Reviews 7/21

Who knew Superman would be taking the lead in back-to-back weeks? And not just him, his cousin, Supergirl has one of my favorite issues of the year. Between Superman & the Authority, and Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, fans of the Super-fam have a lot to eat. I love it, especially as I get back into […]

Theand'r Ban-El of the House of El, punches up at an offscreen creature.
House of El Returns & Comic Book Reviews 7/14

Future State returns to us once again with the Action Comics 2021 Annual! It brings back a litany of characters introduced in Future State: House of El, which includes the best girl in DC, Theand’r. Yeah, there was no way Theand’r shows up in a comic book again and not be the first thing I […]

Laura Kinney, Wolverine, the best X-Men, stand front and center of the new team roster.
X-Men #1 & Comic Book Reviews 7/7

After Jonathan Hickman’s superb X-Men series about the mutants of Krakoa, we have a new superhero team that gives what the naysayers have been asking for. While I would have preferred what Hickman was doing, the new creative team is doing great stuff. This is one of the best #1’s that I have read in […]

Black Widow is in front of a cement wall with a smoking gun and a mask that has her name on it.
Black Widow Comic Review: The Tragic Ties That Bind

Spoilers for Black Widow #1-7 Written by: Kelly Thompson Art by: Elena Casagrande Coloring by: Jordie Bellaire Lettering by: VC’s Cory Petit Black Widow can be a bit of a cold character. That makes sense; she’s a superspy who was kidnapped, brainwashed, and trained to be a killer from a young age. Why would you […]

Variant Cover of X-Factor with Rachel Gray walking the Krakoan version of the red carpet.
X-Factor & Comic Book Reviews 6/30

While the Hellfire Gala comes to anticlimactic and insulting close with X-Factor, Titans rise with their 2021 Yearbook issue. There’s nothing but surprises this week, with the comics I’m reading. For the most part, that’s a good thing, but X-Factor’s horrendous decisions threaten to taint it. It’s likely best, to talk about the worst book […]

The cover of Infinite Frontier with, the members of Justice Incarnate and the Totality underneath the shadow of Darkseid.
Infinite Frontier & Comic Book Reviews 6/23

The Hellfire makes its rocky way towards its end with three more issues, just as DC starts and interesting path with its Infinite Frontier miniseries. DC is finally giving us what we want, a more open DC Universe. If only it didn’t feel so disingenuous, as the major characters and their titles limp a bit […]

The variant cover of Static #1 with him in the foreground and his parents in the background.
Static #1 & Comic Book Reviews 6/16

DC has been going ham these last few weeks with showing off their diverse heroes, but this week is the beginning of something more long term. Representation isn’t in just a one-shot, but in the start of a new series about a classic hero. Static returns with a new #1, and it’s… intriguing.  The Hellfire […]
