Ground floor and going up! This issue uses the right bait for readers as you are automatically intrigued about this story. You HAVE to know what powers these five have. You HAVE to know what their motivation is. This issue is the itch that you have to spend a long time scratching so I am in for the long haul!

This comic has the right amount of horror, dread and Tarantino-type story telling (that's a compliment) that can easily be translated to the big screen as a movie. These kindred of the senses are scary. I am not sure how this vengeance tale is going to play out, but it definitely makes me more appreciative of all my senses. What a cliffhanger as two frames of this comic gives us Hannah's motivation in the fullest! Read this comic on the edge of your seat as it is written for you to do so!

The "clean up" minister Barret at the end is scary. "There is always one left to tell the story"." Read this comic on the edge of your seat as it is written for you to do so!

This all out war in this issue had some casualties. The "worshippers" fell into Hannah's meat grinder first and It's an odd tale of vengeance and a wife/mother who has prepared for a battle against self-proclaimed gods. This battle may have had casualties, but it appears that the survivors of the Chimera are going to teach the world a lesson.

I already want the remaining issues! Sam Hamm and Joe Quinones hit all the right notes. Clayton Cowles letters like the pro he is and Leonardo Ito splashes that 80's vibe across the pages that we so wanted! Again, love that "Prince" cameo and those fedoras. So many Easter Eggs and so much eye candy with a solid script! You can hear "Party Man" booming in the background!

Sam Hamm and Joe Quinones have found quite the medium and I really hope they team up again as they could literally "right the wrongs of some of the other films notably, Val Kilmer and George Clooney's runs as Batman. Ahem guyscan you rewrite/redraw/reimagine some history?

Again, James Tynion IV delivers a book end set that delivers, and the meat of the comic is also rich! The first story between Joker and Bane is worth the price of admission, but pages 22-23 resonated with me. Sometimes a comic world even in chaos is a better world.

The fact that this is Issue #1 begs that is there going to be an Issue #2 of Batman Pennyworth: RIP. This stand-alone project was well written, well illustrated, and simply well done. Again, in the words of Barbara Gordon"."So Beautiful"Thanks for this Alfred."

Batman/Superman Annual #1 " Buy this book, sit in a hammock and enjoy your favorite snack you had as a fourth grader. You'll appreciate that time if you are an adult reader!

Buy this book. To have Batman needing the Authority to help him close some loops in the whole Multiverse dilemma that he arguably opened up with Death Metal is awesome. Turns out our Big Blue Boy Scout knows that in order to beat Mongul's Warworld, his team needs to flex their muscles against an alternate Al Ghul threat. Turns out the Multiverse is still a playground that needs to be dealt with.

The more of these issues that mount up, the more I wish it was a trade paperback immediately. But as a fan of the serial novel style, you can see why Ellis keeps cliff hanging the story!

The more of these issues that mount up, the more I wish it was a trade paperback immediately. But as a fan of the serial novel style, you can see why Ellis keeps cliff hanging the story! Get in while you can as this is a refreshing ride on a new Batman train.

Sean Murphy has tapped a vein in Black Label by rewriting the Batman legend in his own way. He trimmed where he needed to, mixed around some characters, and strayed enough from Batman canon to make this all new and fresh. This Batman timeline is worth every penny of your hard-earned cash!

Sean Murphy delights the hard-core book, after-school cartoon, and cinema fan who adores the Bat. It was about time there was a reboot/refresh that we can all stand behind. After all, Murphyverse gives us all the Easter Eggs we adore so we can play Detective too! But that Harley…sigh! Buy all the White Knight installments!

Sean Murphy makes you feel like you have picked up the very first issue of Detective Comics where Batman was introduced.

Obviously the medium works perfectly for telling Batman stories. Everything from the duality of his identity to the lurking in the shadows of Gotham, nightlife in the city, and in the corners of the Bat Cave. Art that is worthy of a gallery, and stories that are timeless. That is what everyone wants out of a comic, and that is what this issue delivers!

This format worked so well for Batman . I have been advocating for Wonder Woman to receive similar treatment in a Gold and Red version, or perhaps Green Lantern with a Green and White. So many heroes and so many stories! This series has been wonderful. Get all six issues as you will not be disappointed.

Sean Murphy is building his case for more and more content in his DC Universe. I really can't wait to see how this "watch" plays into the Curse of the White Knight story. And I really wish he would go all "Stephen King" in producing more additions to his reinvention of the Batman world. Finally, Harley and Bruce sitting in a tree". when's that kiss going to happen?

Verdict Batman: White Knight was special. The beginning of this new chapter of White Knight is like “The Empire Strikes Back” It's going to eclipse the White Knight. Think about when Frank Miller got his mitts on Batman. Sean Murphy has the same hold on Batman and it is a white knuckle thriller. Go back and get White Knight. But make sure you get into this ground floor issue of Batman: Curse of the White Knight. Bring Azrael into the fray is magnificent.

Again…Batman: White Knight was special. And this sequel is a fun ride. Murphy reduces the character down to bare bones in this issue. Support for Bruce is waning. And that dinosaur we all love to see….well, you just have to see!

Again…Batman: White Knight was special. And this sequel is a fun ride. Murphy reduces the character down to bare bones in this issue. What is really the lineage of Bruce Wayne? And how does Azrael fit in on all of this? What a great time to be a Batman fan!

Batman: White Knight was special. And this sequel is really really special. You should go to your local comic store, ask for the White Knight and ask for every issue thus far of Curse of the White Knight. You can't drink this story in fast enough.

You should go to your local comic store, ask for the White Knight and ask for every issue thus far of Curse of the White Knight. You can't drink this story in fast enough (pun intended when you look at the graphics included in the review). This is a pivotal issue, so buy immediately. This series is going into some reprints fast!

White Knight should be on your shelf! It's a must read to get you into this series that Sean Murphy is painting for his readers. This issue shakes it down to the core a bit. Again, no purposeful spoilers here, but the last few pages make you gasp for breath!

White Knight should be on your shelf! It's a must read to get you into this series that Sean Murphy is painting for his readers. This issue shakes it down to the core a bit. Again, no purposeful spoilers here, but the last few pages are there to throw more gas on the fire that Murphy has lit!

Okay…the interviews told us that he wanted to explore one more character within this universe. Murphy feels like a little more can be told on this birdy…this Robin that met a different fate at the hands of readers. If I were you, I'd re-read the entire series again…issues 1-8, and then look at the Easter Eggs Murphy provides. And then tell me if you saw this return coming at all. Maybe he even dropped the title to the next part within this issue……?

Tom King's work on any Batman book is epic but this one resonates as it is grittier in terms of the villainy. You literally hear the hum of a foreboding soundtrack while reading it. Enjoy this first issue as Selina and company are bad"really bad.

Tom King's leaving his stamp on the Batman universe. This intense pace of narration back and forth with time stamps, battles, and name dropping galore is repainting the Batman landscape. You may need to take a hit of an oxygen tank as your heart flutters with every turn of the page!

Batman Secret Files #2 is worth the investment. The stories are solid and each one displays Batman as either a detective, a master of disguise, a brute force against crime or a someone that mad men are queuing up to defeat. This was a great read.

The authors, the artists, and the Batman! The stories are thought provoking and the ending leaves you wondering who is "Designing" all of this! See what I did there!

This is a strong first issue. Burnett and Dini give us a lot to work with initially and bait our Bathooks with several cliff hangers and questions just hanging in the air. I don't want to spoil anything about a Lex and Batman battle, but a green beam of light? What's up with that? Well done in wetting the appetite!

That green beam of light! Whew I was right from my last review, and the authors provide another clue"that's what I love about this new series"ahem"comic is that the first issue provides a mystery upon another mystery in each issue. Where's my milk and cookies? I need the next chapter now.

I'm in! I'm really in. This is a great pairing of heroes and to see how they all face the purple demon is going to be interesting!

I'm in! I'm really in. This is a great pairing of heroes and to see how they all face the purple demon(s) is going to be interesting!

Was Three Jokers #3 worth the wait? Yes! Should you buy all three? Yes? Do we want Geoff Johns to work this angle with Bane? YES!!!!

Sean Murphy, Matteo Scalera and Katana Collins have started quite the storyline here for Harley. I'm excited to read the next issue of Batman: White Knight Presents Harley Quinn and the next, and the next, and hope this Murphyverse continues to expand. If you have “knot” (there's your clue) read Murphy's prior White Knight series, it would be “good if you did”! 

Sean Murphy, Matteo Scalera and Katana Collins are hitting all the bases in this series. From a new origin of the Joker to a “Harley Fight” to hyenas playing with the kids! Oh…there's a murder or two to solve as well. 

Sean Murphy, Matteo Scalera, and Katana Collins are hitting all the bases in the series. With every turn of the page, you get Easter Eggs, homages, but better yet…the Harley this character has always needed to be. DC should be praised for allowing Sean Murphy to not only expand the Batman Universe, but to allow other artists and writers play in this Murphyverse sandbox. Now…let's get Two-Face and Catwoman involved in this!

DC should be praised for allowing Sean Murphy to not only expand the Batman Universe, but to allow other artists and writers play in this Murphyverse sandbox. Now…let's get Two-Face and Catwoman involved in this!

However, this issue had some many layers to it. Harley is a pearl strung together with Ivy, Joker/Jack, Bruce, her children….and her original children. You'll cry!!!

Sean Murphy's universe needs to expand to beyond the Bat Family. His reduction in characters make for a stronger detective storyline that is both a throwback to the pulp novels, but also a treasure of Easter Eggs from storylines gone by. Soon instead of the Snyder Cut, we will ask for a Murphyverse treatment of a Batman movie!

This story line has been refreshing. I literally cannot wait to drink in each issue as I was a fan of the Harrison Ford original. But Ash…Ash fits like a glove in this Blade Runner environment. This is cutting edge science fiction pulp noir.

We get to really see the seeds of what the Tyrell Corp puts into play. Replicants….are they more human than we are? We will find out. What about those original Replicants from the Ridley Scott movie? Are we going to see them? So much material to work with as the dots are being connected. Buy this book!!!

We get to really see the seeds of what the Tyrell Corp puts into play. Cal has his hands full and he is not even a Blade Runner…not that it will allow him special powers. This is some hard core science fiction that contributes to canon with every strike on the keyboard!

We get to really see the seeds of what the Tyrell Corp puts into play. Cal has a cliff hanger of an ending which may be the spark of Blade Runners. Perhaps? If it was, it was perfectly sequenced and drawn. When you think this comic cannot get any better and is on cruise control, it definitely accelerates to the passing lane to give you an adrenaline rush!

If we are lucky, we can get this into one anthology. If you are lucky, you have been buying issues #1 – #12 all along. You may want to reach out to local comic shop if you have not been placing this in your pull bag. This series arguably could be the Hollywood film we crave as a Blade Runner prequel…it's that good of eye candy!

Buy this one! Ward has hit a homerun with a new vampire tale that takes the genre and flips the script! The ground floor of any new book is special, but we have what could be the next #1 horror film in our hands here!

Buy this book! Go back and get issue #1. You regret now not having Walking Dead #1. You'll regret even more not having Blood Stained Teeth!

Catwoman has another champion. Black Label is the perfect venue for this book! Lonely City should be anything but that as you need this on your shelf. So many Batman books, but you really should start a Catwoman shelf. Great job Cliff Chiang!

New Heroes are hard to come by. Image is the perfect playground for this comic and what a skill set for heroes…former commander-in-chiefs with super powers. Let's see how this all plays out!

I love mixing characters! Tom Taylor does it in DCeased and it works! The more these characters interact, the more we buy into the world of DC being interconnected! Great issue at a great time of the year! Kudos to all authors on their stories and again, Riely Rossmo's art is super cool!

Taylor gave us the story, peppered it with some prequels and now takes us to the sequel. He's on fire lately with what he is turning out for DC. Take pause and go back to refresh yourself as to how we got to Dead Planet. Then read this issue!

Last frame of the comic! Last frame of the comic! Did I mention the LAST FRAME OF THE COMIC? What zombie language for "the crap is hitting the fan"? Taylor never disappoints! Even with a couple of negatives, this is a five star comic.

This is like Tom Taylor took all of the DC action figures and dumped them all over his playroom and started from there in creating this story. And boy does it work!

Between Sean Murphy's "Murphyverse" he has created with Batman and Tom Taylor's DCeased world, I am not so sure I can go back to the way things are/were. This version of DC needs to be explored more and more as it just cannot end. This version of the Trinity has to have more adventures!

Tom Taylor's DCeased world" what started out as a story of tragedy has left us some hope. This version of DC needs to be explored more and more as it just cannot end. This version of the Trinity has to have more adventures! Way to go Tom Taylor"way to go!

Extraordinary #1 opened a bit of a portal to the old Flatliner movie. It is intriguing that as we glimpse into the story, a near death if not death experience can provide you some sense of powers. Too scary to think about, but I am glad that Schwab does. It makes for a really cool intro to what is going to be a great 'cat and mouse" chase! Buy this book!

This is the #1 issue you want on your shelf right now. The art work alone is worth every penny, but the story lines are rich. Gunslinger #1 is going to be awesome and the return of Haunt inserted into the Spawn Universe"well played Mr. McFarlane!

This is the #2 issue you want on your shelf right now. The art work alone is worth every penny, but the story lines are rich. The return of Kincaid is simply horrifying. I thought that Scott Snyder created some villains, but Billy Kincaid was terrible in the 1990s".and this new horrific version is a billion times worse. Gunslinger #1 is going to be awesome and the return of Haunt inserted into the Spawn Universe"well played Mr. McFarlane!

This is the #3 issue you want on your shelf right now. The art work alone is worth every penny, but the story lines are rich. The return of Kincaid is simply horrifying. I thought that Scott Snyder created some villains, but Billy Kincaid was terrible in the 1990s".and this new horrific version is a billion times worse. Just when you thought a symbiote could kill something"those last few frames! Wow!

This is the #4 issue you want on your shelf right now. All compliments aside, McFarlane taps into what each of us would want to do with a child killer if given the option. Al Simmons is the assassin who may be a creature created in Hell, but his moral compass points straight up towards Heaven!

This is the #5 issue and it provides a "control alt delete" that makes us think about all we knew about Spawn's origin. The graphic depiction of that bullet taking Al's life at the hands of none other than"Uh-uh. Not me"I'm not spoiling this one for any Spawn fan! Buy this issue!

Issue #6 fills in a lot about two major villains from Al's past that elicit a fit of rage in him. Kincaid is one of the absolute worst villains ever created, and Jason Wynn is right there behind him. Given that and the last frame of the comic"Sean Lewis is taking villainy to new heights in King Spawn. Rush out now, and get this new book on your shelf! Issues #1 " 5 have to be at a comic store somewhere for you to catch up. Don't let Issue #6 escape your pull list!

Issue #7 is pure "old school Spawn"...when you take a look at older issues of Spawn where he sits in the alleys of New York City cajoled and plagued by The Clown and adored by the homeless"this is where King Spawn sits. We are back to where it all began as Sean Lewis knows it has all been about Al's love for Wanda. Perfect story for after Valentine's Day!

Issue #8 has us on the edge of our seat as that one glimpse of Wanda".what would you do? What will Al do? Only Sean Lewis and Todd McFarlane know. Let's hope they give King Spawn his queen.

Issue #8 has us on the edge of our seat as that one glimpse of Wanda.what would you do? What will Al do? Only Sean Lewis and Todd McFarlane know. Let's hope they give King Spawn his queen.

Issue #10 has both grit and foreshadowing that this may not be the last time we see the Black, White and Red format being used. If this is how King Spawn presents itself, I am all for it as it is taking on some Frank Miller type Sin City vibes. Long live the King!!!!

Issue #11 returns King Spawn back to full colors in a battle in front of the God Throne. The writing and the art pulls absolutely no punches and again places Spawn back to his origin. Again, a huge cliff hanger awaits, and sets up Issue #12 and beyond. Or maybe notSean Lewis may have faked me out again with his magic pen. Buy this series!

Well Done DC! Thanks for initiating a spark to teach, to listen and to learn. You would be well served to use this resource.

Tom Taylor is at the apex of his game and we are the benefactors. I continue to appreciate his endeavors in the DC arena, and it is arguably hard for writers to expand to less established universes and characters. Not Taylor…he along with Sean Murphy and his Murphyverse endeavors in White Knight seem to be the new Lewis and Clark in comics…forging through areas that have never been explored before!

Tom Taylor is at the apex of his game and we are the benefactors. To provide a new world with rich characters and to be able to explore really fourteen members of this team that protects seven secrets provides a lot of territory to cover. i know he is centered on Caspar right now, but I am very intrigued at all the other members of this team. You should be too!

Tom Taylor , just being named the major author for an upcoming Superman series, continues to draw us into this ensemble cast. The visuals of this book are pretty amazing as the art work is very tight and Taylor provided a glimpse (finally) in revealing one of the Secrets. This pace of revealing may mean a long extended battle until we are down to either one secret or full on apocalypse. Either way, Taylor is our guide and we are better for it as his readers!

Tom Taylor, just being named the major author for an upcoming Superman series, continues to draw us into this ensemble cast. While I would love to reveal some more of the plotline, the cliff hanger came out of nowhere as Caspar's Mom has to be the bearer of all secrets. Everyone loves a good secret! You should buy issues #1-9!

It's Tom Tayjor's literary world right now and we are living in it. From his work on Superman Son of Kal-El to Seven Secrets, he is churning out some great story lines. This issue is page turner. There is a “fungus among us” with the name of ….. (no spoilers here) buy this issue!

Snyder and Capullo….great team….Mcfarlane and Capullo….great team…..Henderson and Garbett….great team. You get the picture! This book is well worth the investment and the cover is frame worthy!

Henderson and Garbett are on the verge of providing what could be a really premier comic. There is still time to get issue #1 before this thing gets red hot! This book is well worth the investment and the cover art keeps getting better and better!

Henderson and Garbett are on the verge of providing what could be a really premiere comic. There is so much potential here in adventures in Shadecraft. With seeds in the story to let us know there are more “out there”….. this is so cool!

Henderson and Garbett have so much potential here in adventures in Shadecraft. With seeds in the story to let us know there are more “out there”, give the people and the fans what they want – being cool in the shade.

Buy this book and keep supporting the Spawn Universe! Here's hoping that all of the issues in this timeline are as rich as this one is!

Stealth took a hard look at the inner city, economic recovery, Alzheimer-affliction and motivation to do both good and evil. You would be wise to either pick up all six issues or the trade paperback coming soon!

Given that I wanted this issue to be over 100 pages long, I still hope there are more editions! Keep 'em coming. I like the sand between the rocks. It works!

Buy this book. So many Easter Eggs and nuances that point to Jonathan assuming the mantle of Superman, but also of a weakened Clark who needs this team as much as they need him. Here's to a long run for The Authority!

Buy this book. So many Easter Eggs are found from days gone by. This “A” team lead by a graying and weakened Superman (if by weak, we mean he still can bench press the equivalent of a Death Star). It is early to see if the parts do equal the sum, but I'm in for the long haul!

Buy this book. I mean…I have a lot of OPEN questions posed here in this review. However, the art is worth the price of admission. We get the Ultra-Humanite that can now inhabit Solomon Grundy as well as a plan to inhabit the Man of Steel himself. That Supermobile though….in the words of Jack Nicholson as the Joker…”Where does he get all those wonderful toys?”

So, DC Entertainment really provides in this digital format. It's new, it's fresh and a great playground for both authors and artists who want to flex their digital mediums before they hit the printed page. Awesome work all around!

I cannot wait for the same treatment of Wonder Woman…hint, hint.

I cannot wait for the same treatment of Wonder Woman, and hopefully Green Lantern and every mainstay character DC has to offer …hint, hint.

While the Black and White is Batman's playground, Red and Blue fits our Big Blue Boy Scout just fine. When you think you have heard every angle to Superman, Red & Blue provides just more evidence that this character, and the many timelines touched by Superman, can go forever. This second issue hits the ultimate home run, and gives us priceless stories to add to the legend of Superman in all timelines.

We are in a treat as next week will bring Wonder Woman featured in the same treatment. This playground has been great for both Batman and Superman. I appreciate that DC is providing more insight into these characters for authors and artists alike.

Again, I have loved Batman: Black & White, Superman: Red & Blue and Wonder Woman: Black & Gold. This arena works well for all fans who want a series of stories outside of the typical timeline that provides both historical adventures, as well as new authors and artists. Expand this type of play with all of the DC heroes! It's time!

This character. The Batman Who Laughs, had me from the beginning. The artwork of Capullo and Jock and imagination of Scott Snyder is well worth the investment into this series. Plan now to visit all your local comic store to invest in this issue and the five more planned. Move over Joker….. you have just been demoted to second string in the Rogues Gallery!

Again, The Batman Who Laughs is years in the making. What a great imagination from Scott Snyder and Jock is providing the right ways to depict all of these characters. To this reviewer, this is a brand new way to run Batman through another gauntlet. You are not too late to buy the first issue and now the second one as these will be as valuable as when Frank Miller put the Dark into the Dark Knight! Get yours today. All that and a few new drawings of The Batman Who Laughs that are frame worthy!

I cannot say enough about Jock's artwork bringing Scott Snyder's work to life. This is a new injection of life into the myth of Batman. What a ride! This issue means there are only three more to go and that is sad! As a collector or a Batman fan, you have to grab this mini-series. And from seeing other items in celebration of Batman, TBWL and the Grim Knight have already shown that they are going to be around a while in the Batman realm. Grab your copy as soon as possible!

At this point in the DC time line, I am pretty shook. The last time I felt this obligated to buy any and all comics was when Superman died, and Batman was broken by Bane. DC is well on its way to returning to its number one comic line ranking as they have all the right pieces put together. You would do well to buy all of The Batman Who Laughs issues along with The Grim Knight one shot. You'll be glad you did!

Run to your nearest comic store and buy every issue and explore the Dark Metal origins of The Batman Who Laughs. This run by Snyder has been epic and has gotten everyone back on board the Batman train (as if we ever left".). And what a cliff hanger... A case of Visine cannot get this red out of the eyes!

I loved the diversion from the main story and it was definitely needed. We needed to know what the back story was for the Grim Knight. We are left with more questions in what the ultimate plan is for TBWL and how the Grim Knight fits into it as I cannot imagine a world where both of these creatures co-exist. The egos are too big. Jim Gordon turns out to be the real hero in this as his police training and interrogation skills keep peeling back layer after layer in the Grim Knight. This Grim Knight wants to get a second chance at Gordon. A Gordon that Jim doesn't know, but the goodness that is Jim Gordon appears to permeate through all time lines. Hooray for Jim and Hooray for us….this is the best story line for Batman since Bane broke his back!

So whatever blender that Morecci used and whatever his influences are, I appreciated his adding his twists to Dick's history!

This playground has been great for both Batman and Superman, and seems like it will do wonders (pun intended) for this Amazonian Princess. I appreciate that DC is providing more insight into these characters for authors and artists alike.

The story and art in Nightwing #83 is so rich in detail that you should be reading this already. If not, go back and pick up EVERY issue that Taylor and Redondo have done together! This duo is as perfect as Barbara and Dick are together!

Given all my focus on the differences in artists, this story is a perfect compliment to the Fear State storyline. Was the steak a bit well done? Yes"but it satisfied my hunger! So did this issue of Nightwing. However, I do want Bruno to come back to the kitchen and provide more than just cover art. He needs to cook the full course meal!

I think DC should consider bringing Bruno back into the fold for the run of this comic. I know artists should not pigeonhole themselves, but Bruno simply "got" Nightwing and what was needed. Great script, and solid art in this one. However, if I had my "druthers", I need to see more Haley/Bitewing with Bruno at the helm.

All Nightwing fans are on this ride. You should be too! Buy this book and collect the back issues as well. Issue #87 was a work of art! Nightwing #88 is a work from the heart! The alternate cover says it all! This is THE BEST COMIC on the market today!

I'll take the two of them together any day! This is the new World's Finest! Again, Barbara and Dick are perfect together and Hailey makes three! No spoilers, but we know where this road is leading and what a cliff hanger until next month. Thanks to this team for elevating this book each and every time you release a new issue".never rip the carpet out from under us.

The art team is brilliant. One minute you are loving the innocence of Haley"the next you are wondering why your hair product is not working as well as Dick Grayson's. I love the multiple action poses of Dick in one photo as you are transported into the action. Again, this is your pull list favorite so drink in every issue as Taylor, Bruno Redondo, Geraldo Borges take you on the best ride in comics that is being produced!

Buy this book...and all the back issues as well!

Everything that Taylor and Redondo have touched in Nightwing has been perfect! This book bats .1000 so don't hesitate to buy it and all the past issues by this duo!

Taylor and Redondo get better and better with each issue. Do we need more Haley? Sure (ahem more cowbell please!) Redondo draws hairstyles like we all wish we could style our hair, but it's more than that.t This is a great book to settle in and be inspired by Dick Grayson and all of his positivity!

BUY THIS BOOK! For those lucky enough to get on the ground floor of anything that Scott Snyder does, he's one of the hottest authors the past few years. I am not sure how his imaginative faucet gets turned on, but I hope he has a run that rivals that of Stephen King! With Tony S. Daniel on art, you can't go wrong. What he did with Batman in Detective Comics is simply art at its finest"gallery worthy stuff! This combination of author and artist is what people in comics thought of when they put Batman and Superman together for the first time".Mind Blown!

Blacktop Bill is the villain of the year! Val is the female protagonist we have always wanted in a book! She is the light we all seek to find!

From art to script, this is arguably one of the biggest comics of the year. Snyder and Daniel along with everyone on their team have created a science fiction tale that will stand for ages.

BUY THIS BOOK! In fact, go out and get the Full Throttle Dark story line in issues #1 " #6. It would easy as a collector to wait until the Trade Paperback is released in October. Why would you even do that? Get in on this story now as we are almost to a crescendo in it! If you are not hooked yet, here is a link to the first issue.

This is so reminiscent of The Stand, and Walking Dead, but then again It's Nocterra and it's awesome!

This is the #1 issue you want on your shelf right now. The art work alone is worth every penny, but the story line that contributes to the Spawn timeline as well as provides a real "fish out of water" tale is beyond description as you have to read this comic several times over to love both the script as well as appreciate the art. McFarlane has created a dream team of characters, but he has recruited a dream team of writers, colorists, and artists. And of course, Tom Orzechoswski remains as a pillar to all things Spawn!

This is the #4 issue assembles one of the best Spawn villains of all time and we get to see him back to his old tricks with a new look. Did I enjoy it? Yes! Can I see some homages? Yes. Or maybe, villainy simply comes adorned with chains and minuscule clowns? An any rate, Gunslinger Spawn continues to impress and it is clear McFarlane is having more fun in this book than his other titles. Pick up the previous issues as you will be glad you did!

Issue #5 is our new deal with the devil. Gunslinger is not "clowning around" (see what I did there). He's forming an unholy alliance to get back to the past. Let's hope it pays off!

The Scorched are going to be just fine. But these Spawn books are based on love. If you have not picked that up yet, you should. More than anything, pick up this issue and hunt down issues #1-5. This is one book you need on your collector's shelf!

Issue #7 arguably puts the current Scorched and Spawn timelines at risk in terms of Javi searching for Al Simmons. However, we are in the infancy of reading a book that is going to be around for a LONG LONG time! To borrow a phrase from long agoMake Mine ImageMake Mine All Things Spawn!

McFarlane is trickling out this story and why notthis has to be one of the best selling books out there right now. Booth's pencils are on firecan he draw more comics please?

Read the First Issue of Gunslinger Spawn Online Issue #9 sharpens the storyline between The Scorched and Gunslinger Spawn. It also provides us some context as to Javi's past and his motivation LOVE. McFarlane is trickling out this story and why notthis has to be one of the best selling books out there right now. Booth's pencils are on firecan he draw more comics please? I cannot imagine someone not having this diamond on their shelf!

This story line has been refreshing. As The Mandalorian breathed new life into Star Wars (especially in its second season), Blade Runner 2024 catapults from 2019 to 2029 effortlessly!

This story line has been refreshing. I literally cannot wait to drink in each issue as I was a fan of the Harrison Ford original. But Ash…Ash fits like a glove in this Blade Runner environment. This is cutting edge science fiction pulp noir.

This story line is perfect. A new Blade Runner…well, she is pretty old now as we have gotten used to Detective Ash. She's a strong character for this book and the landscape is so promising. I just hope she survives this story line. Looks like rain is coming.

This story line is perfect. A new Blade Runner…well, she is pretty old now as we have gotten used to Detective Ash. However, I hope she will continue to age. The nuances are great as her girlfriend is a Replicant (shades of Dekker and the end of the Blade Runner movie) but she is out of retirement hunting Replicants. No job conflict there….said no one. This is pulp noir, futuristic eye candy, and a must for your pull list at any comic shop!

We get to really see the seeds of what the Tyrell Corp puts into play. Cal has his hands full and he is not even a Blade Runner"not that it will allow him special powers. This is some hard core science fiction that contributes to canon with every strike on the keyboard!

We get to really see the seeds of what the Tyrell Corp puts into play.Ash is a character worthy of both book and cinema. This adventure is worthy of a big screen treatment, but for now, it is pure science fiction noir candy for the soul!

A true vigilante with a badge, this is not your 1966 Commissioner Gordon who only talks on a red phone. I hope the influence of Dark Metal continues to influence the DC Universe. "The Year of the Villain" certainly rewrote some chapters. I can't see where this goes!

I simply don't know how it can get any better. Dark Metal is spreading its influence at a rampant pace among Batman and Superman's reach. Shazam's family is about to find out how bad this stuff really is. And the Year of the Villain marches on!

This first chapter of this three-issue event is going to be worthy of some space on your bookshelf. I love the tweaking of the story. The lenses of both Detective Wong as well as Dr. Leslie Thompkin, both provide a new view of Gotham's vigilante hero. They're two strong female protagonists trying to heal their city in their own way!

Buy this comic. Batman: The Imposter #2 continues to deliver one of the grittiest and most realistic interpretations of everyone's favorite Dark Knight to ever grace the comics page. Many fans still quote or revere classics like Batman: Year One, or the more recent Earth One tales, and rightly so. In my humble opinion this series will be spoken about with the same levels of respect as those other stories, and if the first two issues are anything to go by, the comparisons and admiration will be fully deserved.

Pick this up, as it will be one of your favorite playgrounds for some time to come!

Pick this up, as it will be one of your favorite playgrounds for some time to come! The fact that these are continuing stories makes it so much a better ride.

My best recommendation is to go back and get issues #1 and #2, them pick up #3.

My best recommendation is to go back and grab issues #1 – #4. The story lines are rich and they weave together, like a great tapestry hanging in the Wayne Manor!

Batman: Urban Legends #6 is a home run, in terms of both finishing out the game and commencing a new inning. From new villains to new takes to announcements heard around the world… this is THE ISSUE!

Batman: Urban Legends #7 is a catalog of things to come or imagined. The issue starts really strong and heavy with known entities such as Terry McGuinness and Damian (Whew… Batman 666 is going to be an AWESOME story) but it lost me with the Manga incarnation of Cassandra Cain and the Pluto story of a Batman of the distant future. However, you need to pick this gem up if nothing more for the setup of Batman Beyond and Batman 666. Those will be your crown jewels, and you may love the others too!

Batman: Urban Legends #8 continues to be quite the playground for all things Batman-related. I must admit that all this "Future State" and "Fear State" hopping around has become a bit tiresome as I expect comics like this to have some "sand' that fills in the main stories in the pillar books. However, three of the four stories really piqued my interest. Admittedly, I am not a Pyg fan" however, if you put him in the pages of Spawn, well" you may have something there!

Batman: Urban Legends #10 continues to be quite the playground for all things Batman-related. Each story's different but continues to weave a thread of connection among the Bat-Family. I appreciate this title so much as there's a lot to explore with each character. This book is as needed as The Brave and the Bold was when I was a child!

Father Valley has been the surprise of the past few years. Sure, the early incarnations of The Batman Who Laughs, Robin King and The Grim Knight were great. But this guy"he's on another level. Ram V obviously is a Stephen King fan as Father Valley is straight inspired from some of King's works. This story line is "crescendoing" up!

The annuals are always a great read. Each DC reader needs to purchase them, but more importantly, Jones provides a great Catwoman story that is worthy of this character! You would be wise to buy this one! It's purrrfect!

If you know the background from some of these worlds as well as the characters, it is a chance to celebrate the holiday season. Some stories are poignant, we get many “awww…” moments, and others that may have you scratching your head. Overall though, this was a needed break from the heaviness that has been 2020. The artists and writers “get it”, and they have given us a gift in which we should be really thankful for! DC's Very Merry Multiverse #1 was really good fun.

I have been waiting since the 1980s for a solid Monster storyline to appear in comics. JL Dark is a perfect compliment to this new part of Gotham, but in the meantime, settle in with a good road map towards Monstertown in Gotham City Monsters #1. You know what can happen in an alley in this city, but you never know what might be around the corner in this part of town!

Gotham City Monsters #2 doesn't disappoint and with the appearance of The Phantom of the Opera (Theatre?), I just know that there are more homages to be paid to Forrest J. Ackerman Famous Monsters titles! Now, where is all that toilet tissue coming from?

Gotham City Monsters #3 doesn't disappoint and the pace gets a bit quicker as Melmoth pulls a disappearing act, forcing the GC Monsters to become a more formidable team together. Here's hoping this is more than a six issue run as this team deserves to be either in the pages of Batman on a regular basis, or as another Suicide Squad or yet again, part of JL Dark! Time will tell, so buy those issues!

Gotham City Monsters #4 doesn't disappoint and the pace picks up, as Melmoth pulls the formidable four of classic monsters into the mix. It's old school versus new kids on the block in the next issue.

Steve Orlando… you have our attention!

Steve Orlando… Thanks for this side street in Gotham City! I hope you take us down it again!

I am in for the long haul. I can ping pong back and forth from Bruce's brooding to Jace's optimism. The great thing is that DC has provided an African-American hero with a vision of hope! I like that and I hope you will too!

This is a strong entry into the Batman family. What happens when you have the tech, but you are not in charge? What happens when you are pulled in several different directions to both be a hero and to also preserve your identity from your family"especially when your family has been turned in every direction imaginable by Bruce Wayne. This story is heating up!

This particular issue seems like a cleanup of sorts from Magistrate to a segeway into a new/old threat of T.A.L.O>n " full funded by Lucius Fox. Jace deserves a better story than this. I am sure he has his own demons to conquer, but wouldn't a confrontation between him and one of Batman's Rogue's Gallery be interesting?

The Big Apple" as a kid I often thought of Gotham City to be the parallel equivalent to New York City. Marvel made NYC the home to some of its big heroes" a certain Web-head from Queens, and a pretty big family of four that resides in the Baxter Building there. Wouldn't this be a nice crossover fodder for Marvel and DC as The Batman takes his turn in cleaning up the streets of NYC. Now where to put that Bat Signal???

And we have the beginning of a Rogue's Gallery. Man Ray or is it Manray? Whomever this person is, you can bet that there will be more. Great art"take a look at the frame above and really drink that cityscape in! That's the Big Apple with its own Batman!

If you are thinking about making this comic a permanent piece of your collection, you need to back track and pick up when Taylor and Bruno have it together. This comic sums the year up really really well for Nightwing and places him poised for 2022. I cannot wait to see what Taylor has in store for Dick and Barbara (and Bitewing).

Reminiscent of older comic themes and current Suicide Squad overtones, PhenomX can be viewed with one lense as an amalgamation of ideas from long ago. However, the social themes prevail giving this top billing for your comic investment dollars. In this world of celebrated diversity, pick up a copy of PhenomX and follow it through for a few issues. If the writing continues to develop (which I am sure it will) then you will thank me for getting you in on the ground floor!

This Matthew Rosenberg adventure is not what it seems. When I read and re-read the comic, I think we will eventually see clues all in Joker's accounts to James Gordon that point to the actual killer (if there is an actual murder). On the surface, when you read it, it is far fetched. But taken out of the context of the current timeline, this "puzzle" would be worth your time and energy to try to solve!

This confrontation is what the readers have been wanting and next issue should provide the reward. Excellent cliffhanger and more importantly, wonderful artwork! If you haven't checked out the Silencer, now is the time to get on board as worlds are colliding in the Batman universe!

After a dozen issues, it is not too late to add the Silencer to your constant readership. It is an official part of the Batman saga via Talia Al Ghul and the Silencer's skill set seems to be developing more and more! It's a keeper for a new title and turning the corner for the new year should provide more twists and turns…..provided the cliff hanger ending gets resolved!

The "Baker's Dozen" issue does the trick. It literally is a catch up issue to provide an origin story to the Silencer and how she came to be under Talia Al Ghul's tutoring. And it goes with the current "wiping the slate" clean within some of the Batman storylines (cue Ric Grayson's current storyline in Nightwing. However, the Lazarus Pits are always the perfect "control, alt, delete" within Talia and Ra's' world so they can erase any mistakes and have things their way. With the current state of the Silencer, you have to stay tuned to see how she can escape Talia's clutches and how her husband and son will fare. And you have to keep seeing how Talia is drawn as she is once again illustrated beautifully!

I loved the family twist in the midst of all this chaos. I never saw it coming, but maybe I was too into the story line to see the clues. However, I am now wanting a bit more of a pace as I want to see an all out League of Shadows versus Leviathan war for all the marbles. And of course"you have to do that in Gotham. But wishful thinking aside, we have another great add on in the Batman world via Talia al Ghul and her shenanigans. Keep with this comic as this is a tale of two sisters you don't want to miss!

No wonder Talia wants everyone gone! Geesh " these new sisters are something to behold. Cue the Brady Bunch Theme and an utterance of "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia"! I think we have not heard the last of these three sisters! And who are these people talking to Blake".warning him to back off! Batman is going to have to come into this at some point to figure it all out!

These three sisters are awesome! In a world that could only have one Talia, we now get Honor and Smoke! Can it get any better? I sure hope so! Mom's Home and she's expecting guests! It's going to be quite a family reunion!

As sad as I am with the demise of Smoke, I am elated that this is a turning point for Honor/Silencer. However, the Leviathan is coming and she could play a big part in either its defeat or reign. But for now, let's enjoy her reunion with Blake and Ben.

An 18 issue run is not bad, and any collector that wants to get in on this comic should gobble up this issue as well as issues 1-17. Silencer needs to return, and it is always great to see when and where a new character is introduced. Here's hoping DC keeps trying to expand its universe! The New Age fell victim on a lot of fronts to reader apathy and sales, but Silencer is a keeper who deserves a sequel. Until then".. reread your issues!

No need for Luthor to give the a clown z Prince Of Crime a gift, in The Joker: Year of the Villain. John Carpenter gives the gift to everyone reading! What a horror writer! I hope that DC provides him more opportunities to play in DC's Rogues playground!

Mark Russell provides even the most seasoned Batman fan with a story that really examines what it's like to be a villain. Are they truly evil, or people that are a bit misguided, or have lost their way? At any rate, it'll be interesting to see what the future holds for Edward Nigma.

Fourteen Spawns"oh the possibilities are endless. It's a world of Spidermen! It's every Superman imaginable! It's getting every costumed action figure you wanted for Christmas! I guess you could say you need to buy this one!

Spawn #312 " Buy it for Gunslinger Spawn alone. But note that each issue brings another back story and another Spawn into the fray. That's a lot of green gassy ectoplasm goo!

Spawn #313 – A new Spawn in Monolith as well as another issue with the She-Spawn! After this battle, I'd love for McFarlane to hand some of these Spawns off to other artists and writers as a She-Spawn book would be wonderful!

Spawn #314 – If Omega Spawn can employ Monolith, how can a much smaller team of Spawn defeat him? That is what we are hanging around for as it appears Al's team is slated to make an appearance soon. The art and the script keeps getting stronger and stronger…too bad Al's power meter is not climbing as well (inside joke, but buy issues 1-313 and you'll get it!)

Spawn #315 " If you need to catch up on all things Spawn, then check out Spawn: Compendium that is out this week. It collects Spawn #1-50, and is a wonderful down and dirty on the origin of Spawn. It comes out just in time to be in concert with what is coming up in the Spawn Universe. Since #300, McFarlane has been on fire! Hold on to your chains, it's about to get even messier!

Spawn #316- If you need to catch up on all things Spawn, then check out Spawn: Compendium that came out recently. It collects Spawn #1-50, and is a wonderful down and dirty on the origin of Spawn. It comes out just in time to be in concert with what is coming up in the Spawn Universe. Since #300, McFarlane has been on fire and the heat is being turned up in the Spawn Universe with new titles featuring other Spawns coming out soon!

Spawn #317- If you need to catch up on all things Spawn, then check out Spawn: Compendium that came out recently. It collects Spawn #1-50, and is a wonderful down and dirty on the origin of Spawn. It comes out just in time to be in concert with what is coming up in the Spawn Universe. The crescendo must be building, but this one was a bit stale. Obvious campy chatter, and not as much detail in the pens and pencils that we are used to seeing. The bar is too high in this game"or rather the meter is climbing up (Spawn fans will get that), so keep it there Todd!

This is another pivotal issue as you have seen the combination of Medievil Spawn, She-Spawn and Al now working in some fashion together. Get ready for more additions (or subtractions) from the team (?). The challenge for Todd McFarlane will be to relinquish some reins on the storylines that will be generated from this new diverse set of Spawns. This is a great opportunity for the Spawn universe to assimilate some other aspects of the Image comics line of heroes and villains as well as generate some new frontiers to explore. However, keeping the bar as high as it has been set will be challenge!

Spawn #319 " Cygor apparently has a soft spot in Spawn's heart. Does he even have a heart? This is probably the best art and script combined we have seen since issue #300. This is also a great jumping off point for any new Spawn readers as you don't have to know EVERY Spawn detail to get this storyline!

Cygor and Wanda have placed a bit of nostaliga if not humanity in Spawn's heart. He can go ruthless in seconds, but also he is very cognizant of how many characters he has pulled into his battle with Heaven and Hell. The foreshadowing of Wanda's comment gives us a catapult into August with King Spawn #1. It's shaping up to be a great Universe with McFarlane pulling out all the stops!

Spawn #322 " McFarlane is handling some real Spawn baggage right now as he is in King Spawn. Children issues and abuse issues run rampant as the top issues in his social agenda. This voice for Spawn is pretty intense right now and with the emerging of Kincaid in King Spawn and all new levels of story telling surrounding this character".I hope all of this can be sustained. It's a great time to be a Spawn fan!

Spawn #323 " The artist switch is classic in this one. This is one monster show short of Frankenstein and The Mummy. However, McFarlane and company hit quite the homerun in this particular issue and gives any monster fan the homages they want. The Walking Dead would be proud!

Spawn #324 " Make sure you get this issue as this the first real establishment of the seeds of The Scorched comic aforementioned. Conversations between Marc/Medievel Spawn and James Downing really resonate. The symbiotic relationship between Marc and Medievel Spawn's helmet is akin to some Dr. Fate work, but his waking up to carnage around him is so Bruce Banner/Hulk. McFarlane and company score with this issue!

Make sure you get this issue as this is the inaugural issue introducing some new Spawns, The Forsaken, and you get to see Haunt in a new light. Lot of stories up ahead Spawn Universe. Let's hope we have enough time and cash to throw at this endeavor!

McFarlane allows McConville to play with all of his toyline"his characters" the landscapes" it's all here and it continues to get better! Do yourself a favor and if you are not a Spawn fan, completely catch up.

Spawn #328 No new things are developed here if you take away page 12 in what I think will be an eventual relationship upgrade. However, if you want to get a good take on Cy-gor, see the Redeemer in action, be introduced to Sinn, or at least find out what Forsaken is restless about, pick up this book!

Spawn #330- Cy-Gor and Overt KillI've loved them since the first few issues, and to have them back in full action is going to be great. McFarlane and company need to go ahead and play their hidden script cards as this book is slowly dragging behind King Spawn, Scorched, and the Crown Jewel in the series right now GunSlinger Spawn!

Really investigate the cover art".can Joker's body really take all the punishment that happens to him? Subsequently, I did not go into the Punchline details as reviews should not provide all the surprises. I cannot wait for Issue #2.

BUY THIS BOOK! For those lucky enough to get on the ground floor of anything that James Tynion IV does, he's one of the hottest authors the past few years. I am not sure how his imaginative faucet gets turned on, or where he is creating Joker stories. But I am drinking from his fire hydrant! This should be on your shelf!

BUY THIS BOOK! This one is a perfect stand alone Joker story with a bonus Punchline (see what I did there)!

We are back from the commercial break from last issue and we get to see the Sampsons (whew"how they made it into Joker's Wheelhouse is beyond me as well as a few new players. The last shot of the Joker on the rooftop is priceless! Punchline is as good a manipulator as her boyfriend and it is just a matter of time before she is out of her prison confines. This crew of writers has a lot going on!

Remember when we first met Bane? Remember when we first met Doomsday? Remember when we first met Alfred's Daughter? You do now! Buy this book!!!

Two issues in a row and the main man (No"not Lobo"The Joker) has not made an appearance. There is a lot of stuffing to digest, but we need the main dish. Let's hope The Joker is around the corner.

Two issues in a row and the main man (No, not Lobo… The Joker) has not made an appearance. There's a lot of stuffing to digest, but we need the main dish. Let's hope that The Joker is around the corner.

This series is very good, but I still don't know if it should actually be called The Joker. Two whole issues have now gone by without the main man (no"not Lobo) making an appearance. Yes, everything that occurs is largely down to his actions, but it's hard to accept this being a Joker title without the Master of Mayhem.

The cover of The Joker #10 says it all. The impact that this character has had on James Gordon's family has been so significant. I never thought that the Bat-Family would ever be without Alfred, so is it now also time for one of Batman's biggest foes to bite the dust at the hands of James Gordon? This latest installment certainly puts us on a road to where Gordon may take the pivotal shot that will resonate around the DC Universe.

The Sampsons"literally and figuratively, they eat their own! This is arguably the best issue to buy as of late as the story really delves into Gordon's motivations and finally we get to see The Joker in a position where he is not in charge! I love it!

Bane and his daughter Vengeance. Joker's back is against the wall. And Gordon still finds time to smoke a pipe. How can he not take out the Joker with all that the clown prince has done? As Batman says in the new film The Batman"."You're a good man."

Get the last taste of Joker for a while. He needs to be relished and not overplayed like a pop song for the 400th time. Joker War was outstanding, but he needed to have slinked away. Albeit there should be closure for Jim Gordon, but let's see what else comes out of the woodwork. Joker needs to go and work on his tan!

Time will tell on Catwoman. After her recent departure from Batman's life in a pretty dramatic way, we can only hope their paths will cross sooner than later. Catwoman is having a tough time carrying her own title and perhaps its time for her to go away for a bit. Too much of any good thing is too much!

Cover art " superb! Story line " it's getting better. New love interest for Selina " I'm not a fan as I'm still holding out for her to settle down with Bruce after the Year of the Villain. We can all dream".right? Damian needs a little brother to take his edge off.

Cover art " superb! Story line " it's amping up with Lex in the picture! Mrs. Creel has her relic and that can spell a lot of trouble for Selina! This is a great time to jump into all DC titles as the Year of the Villain is taking shape! Get in while the getting is good!

Unless I missed something, Issue 14 was an abrupt transition from Issue 13, and it serves as a stand alone beginning to a new adventure. While overtones of messing with the Creel family in Villa Hermosa, there are a few cliff hangers that need to be addressed. That's the problem lately in that sticking with the Catwoman series is like riding a roller coaster of emotion" you don't know what to expect from her or from Ram V or Jolle Jones

This is an issue that, arguably, has a lot of foreshadowing to it. This could be Catwoman being either bad or good (again?)! And given the recent events of Year of the Villain, Luthor's offers, and City of Bane, this is going to go down as a fork in the road for Catwoman readers!

If nothing else, you need to make sure if you are a collector to sew your timelines together. Jones has turned a corner from the past issues as the new writer and illustrator. She has breathed new life into this comic and it should definitely be a part of your collection!

If you have been following Catwoman in her Batman adventures lately, you know she is now at Bruce's side. This emotional farewell from Carlos and Selina's sister can either make this break easy or it can pull her away from Bruce. Not to mention that Raina Creel is a formidable foe now with the possession of Lazarus Water from a Lazarus Pit. Outstanding job on Catwoman #19, Ms. Jones!

To see how Raina Creel has evolved into a very important player in the Batman Family landscape, you'll need to pick up several past issues of Catwoman. But to truly appreciate the writing of Jolle Jones you need to grab every issue you can of Catwoman. Besides, we all love Alfred and the few pages he is remembered is worth the purchase!

Raina Creel"no spoilers here, but this is the type of villain that Selina needs to have going against her. Jolle Jones has found her book and I would love to find her influence in other story lines that are predominately female protagonist driven (hint, hint"Zatanna".Jessica Cruz".Power Girl" the list can go on and on.)

These "maids" are no match for Selina. Who really is on this level? I mean, she's ran with the Joker and Penguin. She needs a Rogues Gallery and soon. But in the meantime, she needed to get a breath of air in this story to set up what we hope will be an intriguing storyline.

Murphy's contribution saves the day! And I'm in on a two-parter with a Don Johnson white suit and electric blue t-shirt! Throw in the sound track and the big cat and you have a pretty eccentric tale!

This is a good "sewing it up" story and setting up Selina's return to Gotham. We shall see what we shall see! But I have a feeling Selina may have to plunge back to her criminal past to save Bruce.

She's corrected a major wrong in her relationship with Bruce. They are so intertwined, but she deserves her own adventures as well. Personally, I don't like these other guys hanging around her, but it is a comic soap opera at times. Add this issue to your collection in the Joker War!

I love the intertwined comic story that DC paints between all the Batfamily has been awesome this year. Catwoman doesn't disappoint either. This book has come from being pages upon pages of silent art and no pop in the script to Ram V taking it to the level it needs to be! Kudos to a new villain. He's a bad man!

Ram V keeps delivering with a solid story line. I cannot say enough about his taking this book to a higher level. Every artist paints Selina in a very favorable light, but Ram V provides more than just a car chase here and a heist there! Selina has a lot of life in her run! Father Valley just needs a theme song every time we see him!

Ram V keeps delivering with a solid story line. Blanco and Eco Plascencia are painting a world that is every bit as dark as the villains it holds. But that purple haze is Catwoman setting things right. Father Valley continues to lurk"He's a bad man!

Ram V keeps delivering with a solid story line. Blanco and Eco Plascencia are painting a world that is every bit as dark as the villains it holds. But that purple haze is Catwoman setting things right. I continue to be a Father Valley fan, but that Wight Witch is going to be something to contend with! Add in the Riddler and Poison Ivy"this is quite the story!

Ram V keeps delivering with a solid story line. Blanco and Bellaire are painting a world that is every bit as dark as the villains it holds. But that purple haze is Catwoman setting things right. I continue to be a Father Valley fan, but let us not forget that Poison Ivy is somewhere in this mix!

Again, I am not "fanboying" everything I put my hands on with DC. There are some "duds" out there among a lot of comics. Do they fall short? yes. Should you spend your money on them? That is for you to decide. But if you read my reviews to get a feel for what is going on in those comics, then your dollars finally make sense to invest in Selina's book. After watching this character grow from the 1970's, she finally has the author and artist that she has deserved for so many years!

Father Valley has been the surprise of the past few years. Sure, the early incarnations of The Batman Who Laughs, Robin King and The Grim Knight were great. But this guy"he's on another level. Ram V obviously is a Stephen King fan as Father Valley is straight inspired from some of King's works. Buy this book for the cover alone, but buy this series! It's great!

Father Valley is everything you would expect and more. He is shaping up to be iconic, and Selina is obviously going to be an irritant to him for years to come IF she can get out of this. And truly"with DC killing off Alfred, and making iconic moves left and right"Selina dying at the hands of Valley would truly set Bruce to madness. You listening, Ram V?

Ram V gives us the reunion we have been wanting for some time. Bruce has a jealous side. God forbid anyone interfere with that. What's next? Revenge? The Magistrate? I feel that Future State has predicted a few things, but we need DC to authorize a veer from what we think is going to happen based on those issues. Can the Bat and the Cat finally make the relationship permanent? Only Ram V knows"stay tuned because he drips the stories out enough to keep us wanting more Selina!

Ram V provides another cliffhanger" Holy Multiplicity Batman".whoops! Wrong book. Catwoman doesn't only have Nine Lives"To be continued with the Wight Witch!

Ram V provides closure for this chapter of Catwoman in this issue. Whatever the future holds, she is a changed person after a series of confronting new enemies, protecting her friends and bring some closure to her dealings with the Riddler and Penguin. I am unsure of Ram V's role in future Catwoman issues as he is writing so many storylines lately. However, if he is moving on, you would be well served to pick up all the past issues he has had his fingers on!

We are going to enjoy Tini Howard's run on this comic. Selina is a true player and this comic has surpassed anything historically it was years ago as a "filler" book in the lineup. If you like a bit of noir, a lot of Selina, and a hero/anti-villain that is fighting the mob on several different levels, this is for you! Get in on the ground floor of Howard's run! You'll be glad you did!

Gotham continues to be a place that is odd to predict. From Valmont (who again looks like a Ghost Hunter rip off) to Onyx Adams (I am just getting acquainted with this new/old presence in Gotham) to Flamingoa cannibal that eats victims??? I would sure hate to be Gotham's tourism director. I'm in on Howard's run as she is setting the stage for somethingwhat? I cannot pick up the clues yet.

Gotham continues to be a place that is odd to predict. The Mob and Black MaskTo Valmont (not sure how I feel about this guy given that Selina has memorized his scent) What is Selina's end game? Is it back to the Bat or is wanting to increase her distance away from Bruce?

Catwoman #44 continues the Harley Quinn Catwoman team-up, and that's a shame. I can't remember when a book took this much of a 180 degree this quickly in its run, but I want what we were getting at the start of Tini Howard's run. Hopefully, we will.

My hope that this digital and future ones come into print and are part of a huge trade paperback. In the mean time, enjoy another visit using Jimmy's lense into the DCeased universe!

I love it when an author takes a villain,who thinks he is a hero, and then really turns the villain/hero on his or her head! Taylor has done just that with Black Adam in this DCeased universe! Well done!

Taylor does some of his best writing in this issue as he is treating this prequel as a character exploration. Carmine Di Giandomenico does some of the best work you'll see in visual story-telling. I echo what I have always said about Taylor's work! I hope this series continues as there are too many great stories within Taylor's DCeased World!

I continue to sing Tom Taylor's praises as he could have stopped with the 2019 DCeased. But he is as strong as creating his "Taylorverse" as Sean Murphy has with his White Knight "Murphyverse". I hope this series continues as there are too many great stories within Taylor's DCeased World!

Taylor does some of his best writing in this issue as he is treating this prequel as a character exploration. Marco Failla does some of his best work as well as this issue needed to be simple. A child dealing with the death of his father and a mother who is none too sympathetic. The frames are lighter due to Failla's pencils. I hope this series continues as there are too many great stories within Taylor's DCeased World!

Both stories are pretty great! And while the reader may be expecting just the pairing (or "trioing") of Catwoman, Tweety and Sylvester, you actually get many more heroes and villains for your venture into this book. Cheetah attacking Hawkman is poster worthy for any wall!

"Why Tho Theriouth" alone should be a leaping point for a more serious Daffy Duck in the vein of Scooby-Doo Apocalypse. Maybe Gotham does have a new force to be reckoned with that can be alongside Joker in future tales. That story alone, along with the wonderful artist depictions of the Joker and Batman, is well worth the price of admission. "Silence of the Lame" is the cherry on top!

Dave Alvarez's drawing of Harley saves the day. It's unusual in these team ups that the lighter side wins over the deeper story, but in this case it is a ninth inning catch at the fence! Fisch's story makes so much more sense than the throwback "lost dog" movie that Harley is part of in "A Hairy Predicament". Here's hoping Harley and Poison Ivy can swim in deeper waters, and that Bugs Bunny will anchor one of these team-up soon!

Capullo draws a mighty intimidating cast of heroes. Snyder weaves what may be the final tale of the Metal/Multi Universes. All hands on deck for this" and Clark has not even weighed in yet. Get your hands on this comic. This is as iconic as the issues where Superman's tattered cape is flapping in the wind and Batman's spine was cracked by Bane.

Capullo draws Wonder Woman. That literally should be enough. Dark Nights: Death Metal #2 is five stars, but it leaves a very different taste in your mouth. I think Perpetua knows something we don't know. Fear is in the air, and I hope Clark is up there too! We need Superman to make his appearance!

These Death Metal issues will have you scratching your head one moment, but they appear to be shaping DC for years to come! Here's to this issue and hoping time flies so we can get the next one!

The comic is back on track. Well, the core issues never were off track, but the side streets that The Batman Who Laughs took really had some interesting detours. The best things to come out of this are The Grim Knight and The Robin King. However, TBWL and this shadow incarnation he is now is not what he needs to be.

No spoilers but Wonder Woman reaches another level"understandably when Gal Gadot is as golden as she could be for the holidays. We are simply too far down the Multiverse hole to not see how this ends. But this issue seems to be on "delay game" to buy a bit more time as we march to the ending of Death Metal. Has it overstayed its welcome? Maybe"

Has it overstayed its welcome? Maybe...

It was time to sew this up. I would even argue that there were some avenues that could have been explored less (The Batman Who Laughs virus?) and some even more (The Grim Knight). I do applaud the duo of Snyder and Capullo. Their work is so strong together and a comic reading community is so much better for having this “Reese's Cup” in our lives!

Stjepan eji's provides the perfect intro to the Black, White, and Red series. It will be interesting to see how this progresses. But her pens and prose have given this reviewer the Harley he has always wanted to see!

Fifty-Fifty...Where's Harvey Dent when you need to make a decision like this? Light Harley or Serious Harley. Either way you can't go too wrong as there seems to be a Harley for everyone!

Chapter Three is part Frank Miller's Sin City and Part Charles Dickens mixed with a dash of 1940's crime noir. Add Harley"shake, stir, and pour for a pretty good read!

Dan Jurgens makes it a game changer, with Mike Perkins' stunning art and Mike Spicer's earthy colors making Gotham look even more run down than we've ever seen it before. Some of the scenes depict Gotham out of a Blade Runner-like environment... Rainy, dark, and desperate.

The first issue was an appetizer, but this time Jurgens really shows off his writing skills in The Batman: First Knight #2! This comic is well worth checking out, as I'm not one for period pieces and wasn't even a big fan of Gotham by Gaslight. However, we do see a Gotham at its lowest point and a Batman with absolutely no tech, but full of resolve. Dan Jurgens has shredded the Dark Knight down to his bare bones, so let's see what Gotham can throw at him now!

The Batman: First Knight #3 concludes the storyline with some religious overtones that play very well into the origin of Dark Knight. Recently DC's been toying with a lot of variations of the character by breaking him down or perhaps making him more powerful. This Black Label three-issue story arc is well worth the read, as Dan Jurgens grabbed my attention from the first page of the first issue.

If you didn't get The Batman Who Laughs seven issue series or the Grim Knight one shot…shame on you! Get to your nearest comic store and get the back story. Scott Snyder did a lot to plant the seeds, but now Joshua Williamson is behind the wheel. Change is a coming and we already see in the last frame of the story, we are in for quite the ride!

I am ready for issue #3, and issue #4. The wait will kill you…or it may give you a visor headache! At any rate, you have time to add this pivotal issue to your collection. Seeing Shazam in this light is going to turn heads! And seeing the last frame of the comic…this version of the World's Finest! DC is not going to be the same!

Batman/Superman #3: Where is my change jar? I used to look forward to buying World's Finest as a kid. And while the prices have increased from 25 cent to the current market prices, the work is priceless! We are inching closer to the revelation of the entire Sinister Six and TBWL's plan. Can it get any better?

Batman/Superman #4 " TBWL's infection is about to take off. He's opened a portal to the Dark Multiverse. What will be left to consume after this happens? Scott Snyder let all of this out of his sandbox and Joshua Williamson keeps making an even bigger, prettier, "evilier" mess!

Batman/Superman #6 " Communication is the theme of this issue. Secrets never really help on any level. And Joshua Williamson does a great job of taking Batman and Superman to a level of realization that they are accountable to others"especially to Diana! This issue is a turning point and a story that should be devoured simultaneously with Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen. There is more to those meal visits to Gordon than meets the eye!

Batman/Superman #7 " Just seeing two iconic villains come face to face with Superman and Batman really in the wings on this one, it just seems right. I don't like that we have to wait to see what implications this may have for The Batman Who Laughs. With a story line this important, it seems odd to take a bit of a time out. But time will tell how important this story contributes to the demise or rise of The Batman Who Laughs!

But time will tell how important this story contributes to the demise or rise of The Batman Who Laughs!

Batman/Superman #8 " Ultra-Humanite. Can I write that again"Ultra-Humanite! DC goes to the vault and comes back with a treasure! Thanks Joshua Williamson for getting the comics back to some of its roots. I love a good visit back in time!

Batman/Superman #10 - Ultra-Humanite's gorilla body bites the dust. Or does it? We can't be going into the toy closet only to let the family pet destroy our antiques. Come on DC"let's keep all of our action figures in pristine condition!

Batman/Superman #11 " Has this sewn up the World's Finest and their tiff over Clark's decision to reveal his identity? Can Bruce really perform computerized open heart surgery on himself with no anesthesia? And is that the Atomic Skull coming back from the dead faster than the Bride from Kill Bill? This comic is all over the place!

Batman/Superman #12 " To see Superman and Batman defeated on their own home court of the Batcave (Not the Fortress of Solitude".) is pretty astounding. Tom Taylor's work on DCeased is worthy of this digital treatment in the cave. But to catapult them into a confrontation with inhabitants of Planet Brainiac that look to be doppelgangers of their greatest defeats. This is going to be a book for the ages.

Batman/Superman #13 " This has now catapulted Steel and Batwoman to a new level. Steel has been underplayed a bit in recent times, but it is time for he to come to the forefront. Perhaps Steel, Cyborg, Black Lightning, and Jessica Cruz can be the DC Fantastic Four. I digress". but the World's Finest doesn't! Buy this book!

Batman/Superman #14 " This has now catapulted Steel and Batwoman to a new level. Steel has been underplayed a bit in recent times, but it is time for he to come to the forefront. Batwoman is being carted around DC to find her niche having been in Gotham City Monsters. Again, Perhaps Steel, Cyborg, Black Lightning, and Jessica Cruz can be the DC Fantastic Four. Or a new World's Finest can come out of their pairing.

Batman/Superman #15 – With Tom Taylor's work using Solomon Grundy and Ivy as strong protagonists in his DCeased series, I felt it was just a short amount of time before we get to see them in the main story lines. This was an issue of closure, foreshadows, and friendships! All are great reasons to sit down and read this one!

Batman/Superman #16- Something Old" Something New" Something Borrowed" Something Blue! It's not a wedding, but it has all the feel of an 80's VCR tape unwinding and spilling all over the floor.

Batman/Superman #17- Something Old" New" Borrowed" Blue! It's not a wedding, but it has all the feel of an 80's VCR tape unwinding and spilling all over the floor. It's cool though, as we know just how to rewind it!

It's hard to find a fresh take on the World's Finest, but this story arc has done just that. Here's hoping the comic is playing the long ball with this story line as it has the potential to be DC altering!

Batman/Superman #19- It's hard to find a fresh take on the World's Finest, but this story arc has done just that. Here's hoping the comic is playing the long ball with this story line as it has the potential to be DC altering!

Batman/Superman #20- Past issues have been in a crescendo to this issue, but I felt like Kamandi in 2021"things just don't belong here. Here's hoping that we get back to a bit more timeline type adventure we can all get behind as Superman and Batman have a lot going in their respective books. I would love for this book to dive deeper into what they are respectively confronting right now!

Batman/Superman #22- It ends on #22 and that is probably a great thing. Do we need a World's Finest comic? Yes".. Does it need Bruce and Clark".maybe not. As a fan, I would love to see Jonathan Kent and Damian Wayne take up this calling. They are already best friends and the future is bright for those two together!

As always with Naomi, you should invest in past issues, and after reading them, hang them on your walls! Campbell's art is magnificent and poster worthy at every turn! But her story is for every kid and every parent! If you have ever gone through adoption, this is your book!

I'm in and you should be too! It's early! Pick up #1 and #2 now. You have the luxury now of getting in on the ground floor of something special!

As always with Naomi, you should invest in past issues, and after reading them, hang them on your walls! Campbell's art is magnificent and poster-worthy at every turn! But her story is for every kid and every parent! Parentsread this book with your kids. It'll put relationships into a great perspective.

I'm in and you should be too! It's early! Pick up #1, #2 and #3 now. Issue #3 is going to be underestimated as that is the turning point as you get light shed on her adoptive parents. You thought Bendis was going to swerve around the curves, but he literally takes us down a new road! Pick up #3! You will not be sorry!

Naomi's slowly finding out her origin, and we are too! It is very hard to write something new and refreshing and to not follow the same formula. But Bendis has a new take that is both exciting and curious. But Campbell's artwork is what is winning everyone over! Jump in while you can in the early issues"Naomi is a keeper!

Rare do you find the perfect pairing of artists and writers! This is that perfect balance. A rich back story accompanied by the best comic eye candy one has seen in quite some time! For those of you with daughters, pick up issues 1-5 now and keep collecting this. Your daughters will thank you one day for letting them in on the ground floor of Naomi!

As always with Naomi, you should invest in past issues, and after reading them, hang them on your walls! Campbell's art is magnificent and poster worthy at every turn!

I'm a sucker for anything with Talia Al Ghul in it. The fact that a lot of artists and authors' work is featured as either intentional Easter Eggs or a carry over from DC Executive Jim Lee's days at Marvel, the intention is good. However, the story is a bit formulaic, and what do we have after? If you like some bubble gum for the brain, it's a good read.

These Dark Multiverse tales could really be AWESOME! I can't wait for Tempus Fuginaut to make more rounds around the DC Multiverse, as he has to find that one, true hero" the one woman or man who can aid our traditional heroes as they go through the Crisis at hand. However, this is one search that could end up being a long one, but anything that Scott Snyder touches these days is on fire!

If you are looking for a visit back to years gone by, then this is the title you should buy. And if your kids are new to comics, then this is a great introduction to both reading and colorful art!

Great stories, Great art, and always, the lighter side of Saturday morning cartoons that an older generation yearns for. Parents who buy comics should invest in the Looney Tunes series for the opportunity to hook their kids into the world of comic books. Looney Tunes is an easy read for kids, but has the dry humor that is appreciated as well!

Again, Great stories, Great art, and always, the lighter side of Saturday morning cartoons that an older generation yearns for. But in this issue, there is plenty of satire for the readers and great commentary on today's society. Right when we need to take a step back and look at things through a different lense, Looney Tunes delivers! This issue is a bit high brow for youngsters, but the art is phenomenal to keep them engaged.

Again, Great stories, Great art, and always, the lighter side of Saturday morning cartoons that an older generation yearns for. This issue was light hearted and provides some old standbys for delivering the laughs! And this cover art looks great! Young kids should get this and read with their parents and grandparents.

Always a crowd favorite, the Justice League of Looney Tunes comedy (Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, and Wile E Coyote) are always worth the price of admission. I always love these comics for teaching another generation where their comic roots come from! And Looney Tunes always delivers!

The art work in Foggy at the Bat is worth the price of the comic alone! And the sports issue is a perfect way to introduce team work, attempting a new sport, or cherishing the history of sport gone by. Pick it up as you will be glad you did!

If ego is the order of the day, then this comic fulfills. Settle in with a bowl of cereal and pretend it's Saturday morning as you read this one! Looney Tunes never fails to please!

I am very liberal in my four stars here as the Personal Fowlstory is the main emphasis of this issue. If you have not picked up an issue of Looney Tunes in a while, you will not notice the repeat story. But for those that consider the comic an investment in their childhood, it was a let down to not have a different sport story or at least another basketball story in this issue.

Looney Tunes is back on track as there are three separate stories that celebrate vacation and there are no repeats as was the last issue. There is a sincere effort by the comic in celebrating taking some time away from the "rat race". And to make it even better, Bugs Bunny is the focus in two of the three tales. That's Looney Tunes at its finest!

Looney Tunes is back on track as there are three separate stories that place their main characters in all three stories and provide that dry humor we have all come to enjoy. A bit adversarial on all three stories, but that's the throw back to slap stick humor we all need!

I'm to the party a bit late. As Justice League Odyssey #17 is the first issue I've read of this series. I'm compelled to get a back story of how this team was forged, but again, I'm a big fan of Jessica Cruz, so any way you cut it, I'm in. Justice League comics don'tt have to be so Trinity laden and the folks at DC have re-imagined a team where other heroes can be a part of the Major League on the outskirts! Hooray for Gamma – everyone loves the cavalry!

This series provides a spotlight on some “lesser known” JL members and, as usual, I am a big fan of Jessica Cruz and her journey. Once again, this is another series that's well worth reading and Justice League Odyssey #18 is well worth the price of admission, just for finding clues as to what the DC Universe's writers are planning.

I'm loving Jessica Cruz's humanistic leadership in Justice League Odyssey #19, as she's basically the thread holding the whole team together. I'm hoping that the original JLO can be picked back up, despite some crucial departures in this issue courtesy of some cold and calculated deaths (oops…a spoiler or two). But we are dealing with Epoch, and if the math is correct, no one ever really dies in the comics. Right Jessica?

Again, readers of the more mainstream comics may well be scratching their collective heads if they miss this issue, and this title. Justice League Odyssey is Jessica Cruz' team, and now it really shows. There are no self-confidence issues here from Cruz, and she's becoming a major player in the DC Universe. My advice? You really want to catch up on this series fast!

Let's hope he helps with next issue's story line!

Let's hope that Ms Cruz gets back to her own timeline. We all know what happened when Bruce Wayne was banished to the past… Dark Nights: Metal anyone?

Justice League Odyssey #24 proves that Darkseid is… Darkseid, and he seems to have recruited a JLO member or two, just so his timeline can exist.If Perpetua's doing her thing in the universe, and Darkseid's in the midst of rewriting history, what will happen when they collide? Let's hope that Dan Abnett and Scott Snyder are on the same page.

DC has done a great job in getting all of its writers on one page!

I give the comic four stars as the new format of a cliff hanger ending and an ending where you pick the villain is an awesome twist to an old comic format. Scooby-Doo comics are a great way to teach kids critical thinking skills as well after you see the evidence, and they pick who is the culprit. So if you enjoy the game of Clue, you should pick up this copy of Scooby-Doo! Where Are You?

As always, Scooby is a great buy for the nostalgic reader as well as the parent looking to introduce their kids to the Hanna Barbara simpler times of a good Saturday morning mystery!

As always, Scooby is a great buy for the nostalgic reader as well as the parent looking to introduce their kids to the Hanna Barbara simpler times of a good Saturday morning mystery! And the countdown is on for issue #100. Let's hope a lot of guest stars are in that one!

I think it is great that DC is carrying a line for it's junior audiences. Scooby-Doo, Where Are You?, Scooby-Doo Team-Up, Looney Tunes and Teen Titans Go! It's great as a parent to see that kids have a place to go for some fun and some challenging reading and sleuth skills. And the artists make these characters so "traceable" that you can see how these books become the building blocks to a new age of fans, artists, and writers!

I enjoyed City of Bane, Joker War, and Future State. And now the prequel to Future State, but how can we "catch up" if the Future keeps coming at us. Ponder that as you read this comic. Is it good? Yeah"but it should have been in Black and White where it belongs.

This series is growing on me as it has elements of Tom Taylor's work as well as Sean Murphy"call me a sucker for either one of those, but this has strong hints of what they do in a comics. While it is gaining some traction, I would have enjoyed this being a bit more timely in its release. is this the future? It's all very Charles Dickens to me.

This culminates this mini-series, but it leaves a few questions. It appears we now have a version of Batman and Robin that is arguably as lethal as it can get. New Signal showing in the sky? Criminals beware!

Again, the artwork alone is worth the price of admission for Batman #76! That cover -remember when you first saw Batman broken by Bane" are we in the midst of another crippled Batman? Or is he out for the count and another of his Robins will assume the mantle? This story is like shoving an octopus into a bag. There are so many ways it can go and you can never be sure. Kudos to Tony Daniel's art, but also Tom King has penned a special series!

I'm no Johnny Cash, but the train that the League of Shadows is assaulting Batman on is a pretty bloody mess. I can't wait to see how THIS Batman gets out of his current state of staring down Talia's blade. Batman: Gotham By Gaslight: The Kryptonian Age #1 was clever, so let's see how the introduction of some new wrinkles leaves this universe on the edge of its seat.

Okay...Batman: Gotham By Gaslight: The Kryptonian Age #2 is the first issue where we get a mention of the World's Finest. Now, is that the third member of the Trinity we see clues dropped on us? Green Blood? These artists have their finger on the pulse of the Gaslight era. However, the last frame of the comic will make me mark my calendar for the next issue!

Maybe a lot" the art, the cover art, the script is very solid. And personally, I love it when Batman, even at this young age, sticks it to Dr. Hugo Strange! Invest in any and all Batman #1 issues, but have specific lenses on when you read it!

Maybe a lot" the art, the cover art, the script is very solid. Bruce is not cocky, dark nor confident. This book is starting to carve out its place on comic shelves everywhere.

DC has recognized that as Ducard appears to be the true Detective mentor that Bruce was taught his skills from, honoring the story "Blind Justice, written by Batman '89 screenwriter Sam Hamm for Detective Comics #598-#600 (1989), and all the Ducard stories that have followed over the last four decades, inspiring even Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy.

I like seeing an unconfident Bruce. I like seeing the mistakes, the apprehension, and the "unsureness as this book accentuates his journey. Somehow we now see Bruce through a crotchety lense where he is incapable of indicating he is wrong or even makes the slightest mistake. It is refreshing to see how Bruce is becoming The World's Greatest Detective!

It's refreshing to see how Bruce gets to become The World's Greatest Detective!

This story arc begins with a return to her roots to finish the mission. Chase scenes, flashbacks, and a corrupt force that seeks to derail Ash and her efforts. Settle back with this book on a rainy afternoon.

This story line has been refreshing. As The Mandalorian breathed new life into Star Wars, Blade Runner 2019 has resuscitated this franchise!

Each of these mashups remind us of why we love comics and when you blend characters from different universes, it reminds you of how much you love comics!

The premise is great and I still believe that it's going to be a strong 12 issue run, but the apocalyptic cover art is not what you'll find inside the book. Don't let this dampen your appetite for a good spooky story, though, as it is Matthew Rosenberg and James Tynion IV writing after all, and these guys always tend do deliver a great Batman tale… so give DC Vs. Vampires #1one a try!

The premise is great and I still believe that this is going to be a strong 12 issue run, as DC Vs. Vampires #3 sets up the beginning of a clear league of Super Vampires being assembled. This is a good vampire story, though, as Matthew Rosenberg, James Tynion IV, and Otto Schmidt are crafting a great tale.

I appreciate the series on a lot of different levels. With no true killings and no true reveals, at least in my reviews, however, there is one item of note. The main cover, which features Superman and Wonder Woman attempting to subdue Batman, indicates a Clark transformation. Unless I miss something, he has combated magic/occult pretty successfully in the past, despite being more vulnerable to it than human beings. He's the saving grace in all of this so far, so how's he being duped into thinking Batman and Green Arrow are the vampires? Unless he's pulling an Andrew Garfield on us… whoops! I digress…

Guess who has his money out for issue #6 already?

As good as things are going in Nightwing, Superman, or even Suicide Squad… things are pretty dire here, in DC Vs Vampires #6. Now… where's issue #7?

You know what you're getting in this book. That could be taken as a positive or a negative, but it's a topic to be considered considering that the authors were given the task of "copying elements from well-known holiday classics!

Seriously, include this in your Valentine's Day gift to your partner or betrothed! What better way to share your love for comics than to give them one all about love?

I'm really beginning to enjoy these little respites from the standard DC plotlines, as they give readers a soft mix of character, but without overpowering darkness. However, the Katana story felt a bit misplaced for a book called DC's Spring Breakout. "Cold Feet and "Opening Day were my favorites from this mix.

This is quite a series and one in which will be a great stand alone trade paperback. This second issue sets up quite an apocalyptic nightmare and questions as to how are they going to survive? After all, the Creeper and DeathStroke can't be the cure to this"or can they?

This is quite a series and one in which will be a great stand alone trade paperback. This third installment sets up quite an apocalyptic future"if you don't mind hearing the scratching against the garden walls.

Black Adam: Endless Winter Special #1 " as this is a "filler" issue that features Black Adam, I would hope that DC would explore more of Black Adam and possibly feature an 8-12 issue run for him. This was a good start"let's see how he plays out in the ultimate defeat of the Frost King.

Midnighter reeks of a Batman/Punisher vibe and Mister Miracle is always good for a bit of fun! Throw in the Big Blue Scout for the fight of his life (only thing better is to see him face Doomsday again) and we have an event on our hands!

Initially, Bendis used the floating name tags, geography banners, and a few word bubble tricks (way to go Saturn Girl! No problem Superboy!) While I loved the art in , the script is like someone trying to cook an omelette, flipping it and then finding out we are having scrambled eggs for dinner.

It was time to sew this up. I would even argue that there were some avenues that could have been explored less (The Batman Who Laughs virus?) and some even more (The Grim Knight). I do applaud the duo of Snyder and Capullo. Their work is so strong together and a comic reading community is so much better for having this “Reese's Cup” in our lives!

Imperious Lex " I get it and I can see it. But I am a traditionalist in that this series is reaching a bit"it's trying to be a little too much like Black Adam in that Lex breaks out his traditional Green and Purple super suit to do battle with Supes in front of people. However, as I have indicated, it borders on some heavy philosophy so deep readers will enjoy it!

I'm already a fan of Future State, but to have Jones at the helm of a new character is a huge bonus! Again, get in on the ground floor and let's hope DC plays the long ball with this comic! It has so much potential!

I'm already a fan of Future State, but to have Jones at the helm of a new character is a huge bonus! Again, get in on the ground floor and let's hope DC plays the long ball with this comic! It has so much potential!

Kara's tale is brief in this Future State Multiverse. It is almost that of a glimpse into a legend. It was time for her to not be the second chair or even the third…but a time to have her featured solo for what she brings to the DC Universe! Well done!

Again, as a reader look up Tom King's book". pick up the last issue of Worlds of War, and settle down with whatever you eat and drink while you read! I'm not sure if I can go back in time now that Future State has reinvented some looks, some angles, some lenses we were not used to. And that".is a good thing!

This is a deep political book that if you examine it, there is wrong on both sides. Capitalism versus Socialism seems to be the theme. Comics are sometimes supposed to take you away and be "bubble gum for the brain". In this case, this was a political comic that provided nothing but conflict and the constant "in your face" we have endured in politics for some time.

I'm in despite the parallel story lines of the movie and Snyder's recent work. The darkness of any Joker tale is too good to not read. But my guard is up as I am not a fan of reruns on already explored ideas.

King of Spies #1 " This first of a four issue mini-series is worth investing in. The issue starts at a break neck pace, provides you a very Sean Connery 007 vibe, but it is so much more"a British agent that simply has decided the establishment is not all that it is cracked up to be. Sir Roland King is the King of "Take This Job and Shove It""invest in this one for the storyline and the art!

BUY THIS BOOK! It is the perfect compliment to fleshing out (pun intended) the Nocterra storyline. In fact, buy the Trade Paperback Why would you even do that? Get in on this story now as we are almost to a crescendo in it! If you are not hooked yet, here is a link to the first issue.

Once & Future #11 – family drama, bloody battles, a grandma welding a chainsaw, and cops showing up to complicate matters. If Boom Studios is not on your radar, you need to expand your library search! The art is worth the price of admission, but the storyline….it's not your average “boom, pow, bang!” comic!

Once & Future #12 – family drama, bloody battles, a grandma welding a chainsaw, and Merlin. If Boom Studios is not on your radar, you need to expand your library search! The art is worth the price of admission, but the storyline….it's not your average “boom, pow, bang!” comic!

Once & Future #13 – The Green Knight has come to play in the game. Another turn of the page and another investigation into Arthur's Knights of the Round Table. I'll see you on the other side of the library tables as we not only enjoy Once & Future, but also delve into how Gillen comes up with her wonderful stories!

Once & Future #14 – The Green Knight makes his play and will return in a year and a day! Gran discovers that her daughter is after a cauldron. Oh what fun research this will be as Once & Future should be accompanied with an English Literature degree and cliff notes. This is a really fun read and a book with precise pencils and vivid colors! You would do yourself a favor at starting with issue #1 and pull yourself up to King Arthur and his round table!

Once & Future #16- This is going to be one epic battle. Three knights battling it out! Once & Future should be accompanied with an English Literature degree and cliff notes. It is a high brow comic that rewards the reader with precise pencils and vivid colors! You would do yourself a favor at starting with issue #1 and pull yourself up to King Arthur and his round table!

The premise is great and judging by Robins #1, it's going to be a strong 6 issue run. It appears as a bit of group therapy for the Robins as sitting around the table recounting their history is a bit too 1970s for me. Educated readers don't need to be caught up to speed that much. However, let's see where this all goes! I'm in!

What is Batman's Gauntlet Zero? How did the first Robin get out from Batman's nest? This book may change everything in canon in terms of Dick being the first Robin. How did Alfred let all of this happen? It's a dark read, and akin to a "What If"" story. What started for me as a "Look it's all the Robins"" has turned into "Will Bruce's world ever be the same?" Awesome writing from a helicopter view". but it can be depressing in the nest!

The Robins detective skills are paramount to this issue as Tim is in big trouble. Again, is Jenny Wrenn whom she says she is? Batman is always full of secrets"is this his biggest one?

Batman has more layers than imaginable. How can so much history fit itself into one character. In comics, anything is possible. However, this story can be enjoyed on the surface as a Batman and Robins teamup adventure or you can grab a snorkle and find some deeper meanings here. Enjoy based on your own taste!

Issue #1 is always a gamble for any company. However, Image does a great job of hitting for the fence on all issue #1. Look at Spawn. Walking Dead, Nocterra to name a few. Who knows"Rogue Sun may catch on like those.

I'm hooked and I am in. There is enough shreds of the Saturday Morning Gang I have known since I was a kid, and the re-imagining of characters is spot on! Given the strong writing and a bit of fluff provided by Atom Ant “shorts” that have been peppering the comic, there is something for everyone! I just wish Daphne had her old Fred!

Lots of action in this issue and a great job of catching up the reader to the origin of the Apocalypse. That was needed for any new invested reader. I like how the issues end with an Atom Ant humor story as this is a heavy Scooby story that is not easily resolved as his cartoon counterparts do on Saturday mornings!

The twist at the end makes me want the next issue immediately. You have to buy into this new version of Scooby. Each week I keep remarking that it is new, but given that I have grown up with Scooby and the Gang as a formula mystery and the old “i would have gotten away with it if not for you kids and your pesky mutt”, I'm still in the honeymoon phase of this reimagination of these characters! Given the strong writing and a bit of fluff provided by Atom Ant “shorts” that have been peppering the comic, there is something for everyone! Again, I just wish Daphne had her old Fred!

Well done! Really well done! The crew that provided us a 36 issue joy ride should be commended as this took us where Scooby and the Gang had not before. The art work, the reimagination of characters, and a story that is timely in the era of pop culture made for a great run! Here's hoping you buy the last issue, but more importantly, here's hoping there is a trade paperback to amalgamate all issues together for a Saturday afternoon reading!

If you are waiting on the third season, this is a good appetizer. It's adult enough for the Stranger Things fan who needs something to get them over the hump, but it is kid enough to appreciate a Halloween tale this time of year! Happy Reading!

VerdictThe artwork alone is worth the price of admission! The Doomsday shot as well as Superman talking to Wonder Woman while she is defeating a huge creature. It is like they are enjoying a coffee at a local bistro while she is actually embroiled in full on battle and Superman is passively having a conversation knowing the outcome of Diana's efforts! There is a lot of tongue in cheek stuff in this art! I like Tom King's take on Superman and how this story works! If you have not read it already, give it a purchase! You'll be glad you did!

Again, the artwork alone is worth the price of admission! From the sheer brutal display in the boxing ring to the poignant comforting of the Healer's family"this is a heart wrenching story! Invest in this one as you'll reread it for years to come!

Again, the artwork alone is worth the price of admission! All this and Sgt Rock! Wow! Buy this issue as even as a standalone within the story, it is a perfect glimpse into the human side of Superman!

He's been beat up physically and emotionally. He's been tested to his limits. And now he faces the race to end all races and the struggle within himself. Again, the old story about a kid throwing star fish into the ocean. It makes a difference to that star fish he tells the old man. And this story makes a difference to Alice…and to hope!
