Basilisk #1

Jun 7, 2021

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!

Basilisk #2

Jul 9, 2021

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!

Basilisk #4

Sep 3, 2021

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. Read this comic on the edge of your seat as it is written for you to do so!

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!

Batman (2016) #76

Aug 12, 2019

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!

Batman (2016): The Joker War Zone #1

Sep 30, 2020

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.

Batman / Dylan Dog (2024) #1

Mar 13, 2024

The premise, the art, and the colors in Batman/Dylan Dog #1 are fantastic, but the adventure itself is very formulaic. Future issues need to provide a bit more meat on the bone in terms of why the Joker is even in this particular fight, otherwise, all we have is a combination of Batman and the latest novelty that may be more akin to Austin Powers than John Constantine!

Batman / Dylan Dog (2024) #2

Apr 11, 2024

Well… Batman/Dylan Dog #2 doesn't really have a conclusion as much as a cliffhanger. How does this intrepid due get out of Hell? I would imagine by meeting the Devil himself? Recchioni's done an excellent job with the writing in this one, I wasn't expecting the clever humor that I encountered and arguably wasn't really looking forward to reading and reviewing this issue. However…what a rebound! Perhaps with having to catch up American audiences who may not be familiar with Dylan Dog made it the main task for issue #1, but #2 is all go!

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.

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.

There has never been an artist that clearly draws Batman and Bruce Wayne with such care and precision. And Adam's contributions to the Batman canon are an art to behold (ManBat, Ra's Al Ghul). However, the dialogue and rhythm of this story is a tough read. If you are into retro, and you want your characters around the 1970s and 1980s, then perhaps this is your Batman. It's a lighter, different side of Batman (albeit a whining side and not a winning side). However, this is your father's Batman"not yours.

Batman: Curse of the White Knight #1

Jul 26, 2019

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.

This reboot's enough to make me turn off my computer and wait ten minutes to turn it back on to see if Superman lands in North Carolina this time instead of Kansas, or if Batman's parents live and he turns out to be a real playboy! One ripple affects everything.sigh!

Dec 30, 2021

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!

Catwoman (2018) #39

Jan 19, 2022

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.

Catwoman (2018) Annual: 2021

Jun 29, 2021

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!

Damage (2018) #11

Nov 24, 2018

To be honest, I am now curious as to where a creature like Damage goes now that he is now confronted with the most powerful hero on the planet. If Superman has indicated that the quartet of heroes before him has taken it easy on Damage, and Damage has withstood a heat vision blast from Supes, then we may be in for some interesting future issues as this collision of old mainstay heroes and new creatures may be infusing their will upon the DC landscape at a pretty rapid pace. I'll take a chance on following Damage….hope you will!

I didn't like the inconsistency and also the mistake of having Batman being the one to order Ethan around. Damage needed a softer recruitment to the JLA, something that Batman is not necessarily known for! The art work is great and sharp! The characters are rendered in a great way, and I love the colors! With a book like Damage, they always deliver a battle. And each cliff hanger has been worth it, so we are now past a “Baker's Dozen” in issues, so make sure you go back and “re-read” to get started on this character!

Damage (2018) #15

Mar 27, 2019

The art is solid, but the storyline doesn't save the character. This is a story of a super soldier formula gone awry. And the story has been told so often, nothing is a surprise and everything is absurd. From what I understand, only one issue remains in this series, so a collector would be wise to gather up all issues. It may be possible that another crew of artists and writers can get a hold of this character and paint a better situation for Ethan/Damage. In the case of this series, too much Damage has already been done (pun intended)!

Damage is going to end up in the $1.00 rack with some other titles from years gone by. I really had hoped this would have worked out as a "HulK" or "Doomsday turned good" character for DC, but I'm glad he's sailing off into the sunset. I hope he finds an island with cheap drinks and an easy way to get into a witness protection program. He and We are better off with him gone!

Dark Nights: Death Metal: The Last Stories of the DC Universe #1

Dec 9, 2020

Perhaps I am anxious to see how all of this culminates. The recognition that Batman is already dead resonates strongly in how Bruce will come back (or if he does). This event has spilled over into Tom Taylor's DCeased universe (as well as it should since this is a battle for the Multiverses). If you have been a fan of the Dark Metal since its inception years ago, you can see why this "love letter" if you will from Scott Snyder means so much at this time. Kudos to the "calm before the storm" as we are all anxious to see the implications.

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!

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…

It's like some pieces are forced and organically did not come together. However, Settle in for the haul as the art is strong and elements of the story have the potential to be something special. It's alright to stumble at the start as long as you run the race and finish strong! Let's see what happens in the Deep Beyond!

May 24, 2019

It's a nostalgic return of Robby Reed! "Sockamagee!" I love it when a comic pays homage to aspects of its origin, and we get to see an older Robby Reed! That brings the generations of this comic back full circle (ala an older Bruce Wayne). We are down the hatch now in a road trip to find out more about the H-phone. Let's hope we find out a new power or letter combo!

DC has extended this series to a twelve issue arc. It's a fun ride and I hope Miguel can tap into his own "Sockamagee" in the Hero Verse, and come out on the other side as a hero. Dial H for Hero is fun"Sam Humphries is picking up where this series left off and it's not too heavy and has just the amount of JLA to keep it relevant. Who knows"maybe Miguel is the key to Leviathan.

What started out with Miguel's quest to be a hero has ended up being an odd maze of characters and a thinly veiled plot line to coincide with the recent issue of Justice League in what may be a major "reset' in time lines. To borrow a phrase from an old phone book commercial, "Let your fingers do the walking!" Unless you have some nostalgia for The Reign of the Supermen, walk on by this one. It's a 12 issue series and next issue will wrap this up. I hope Miguel and Summer find a home in Young Justice as this ride has been tough.

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 a deep political book that if you examine it, there is wrong on both sides. Capitalism versus Socialism seems to be the theme.

Prince's second issue is a tragedy.

King Spawn #6

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!

King Spawn #7

Feb 15, 2022

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 #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!

Legion of Super-Heroes (2019) #1

Buy Legion of Super-Heroes #1!!!!! This is ground floor “re-imagination” of the team. The only drawback of this issue is that it's not bigger, as there are so many characters that need to be highlighted. I hope that Bendis can balance all of these mainstay characters, while telling rich stories, issue after issue!

President Brande has a great idea about forming a Legion based on history. The JLA and the Teen Titans seem to be Brande's inspiration and her speech before government leaders seems straight out of Episode 2 or 3 of Star Wars. I appreciate the origin story, but don't want pull too hard on some of the strings. I'm not sure which timeline these Legion members are prepping Superman/Superboy for, and what the heck is going on with Aquaman's Trident?

The roster grows… well at least it appears to, so how do we continue to keep up? The readers and long time fans need more solid roots for a bit, to kelp us get to know everyone introduced thus far. Newcomers have to get some traction with these heroes, and older fans need to move towards either accepting this new Legion incarnation. or dismissing it, as it's not their Legion of old. Either way, let's take a breath Mr. Bendis, give us some character development, and let us enjoy this Legion. Put a bouncer at the door… the dance floor's overcrowded.

Bendis' work on the Legion is becoming a bit formula driven. It's a huge task with a LOT of characters to keep new and old readers involved in the Legionnaires, and the storyline. It all seems to be an enormous task for Bendis as of late. Jonathan Kent and Brainiac 5 recently visited Superman. Perhaps it's time for the Legion to find two arenas…. it works for the Justice League.

Not sure about the Legion history and the impending darkness, however, the introduction of a Krypton killer such as Rogol Zaar seems to be Bendis' last ditch effort to make this villain as iconic as Zod or Doomsday. Time will tell.

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.

That's Looney Tunes at its finest!

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!

Robins (2021) #1

Nov 19, 2021

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!

Robins (2021) #3

Jan 19, 2022

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!

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!

Scooby Doo Where Are You? #94

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?

Superman: Up In the Sky #6

Dec 9, 2019

Again, this is Tom King's love letter to Superman. But it is also a testament to all that is good about the world. And what a great homage to Clark's upbringing. In totality, it really is a love letter to Ma and Pa Kent! And that is what makes Superman: Up in the Sky so great!

Tales From The Dark Multiverse: Batman: Hush #1

Nov 3, 2020

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.

Tales From The Dark Multiverse: Batman: Knightfall #1

Oct 16, 2019

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!

The Bat-Man: First Knight (2024) #1

Mar 5, 2024

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 Who Laughs (2018) #1

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!

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.

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!

The Batman Who Laughs (2018): The Grim Knight #1

Mar 19, 2019

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!

The Scorched #1 " The lettering alone is worth the issue as the true art work is how AndWorld Designs provides you the voices within those decorative bubbles.

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.

Undiscovered Country #13

Jun 29, 2021

This issue was a bit light. Not the urgency of prior issues to escape a land, cure the Sky virus, watch out for the back stabbing. While it dealt with the artistic side of things, it was a bit far fetched for me. But UC fans"you need to keep on keeping on. Every part of a race cannot be perfect nor can every issue. We have been spoiled by this group of artists and authors. Perhaps the pandemic gave us some rust we need to shake off for this series!

Undiscovered Country #15

Sep 3, 2021

Again, UC is back on track and this issue was a make or break for me in the schedule. Fortunately, we turned a corner. Now if the story telling can amp up again"especially with this cliff hanger ending, I think we can get back to 5/5 ratings again!

Undiscovered Country #18

Jan 15, 2022

If you use this issue as a jumping off issue, whew! Good luck! This particular issue is a tangled story that you really need a score card to even keep up. That being said, the authors did a great job of publishing a "letter" at the end that provides both context as well as a "see you in April" as this comic is being developed as a movie. Not sure if the task of writing a screen play and the comic is overwhelming , but this particular issue is very frenetic.

Undiscovered Country: Destiny Man #1

Jun 19, 2022

I'm still a fan of what this can become. This issue goes back to an origin story that is much needed in terms of defining and redefining the character of Destiny Man. However, blending this in with the remainder of the series and getting back to curing the Sky Virus is how you got me into reading this book. Can we move that along as I appreciate the history lessons, but I bet the people outside of the Undiscovered Country need their heroes to move this along a bit!

United States vs. Murder Inc. #1

Sep 5, 2018

If you like a good origin story that is going to have a lot of layers, then this may be the journey for you. Bendis' work is proven over time, and this should be a fun ride!

United States vs. Murder Inc. #2

Oct 3, 2018

Bendis' prior work entitles a reader to stay with this title as he is laying the ground work for an “on the run” story like no other. You would do well to pick up the first issue and start collecting this title!

United States vs. Murder Inc. #3

Nov 7, 2018

Too much family and not enough Rose. However, to really develop a character and the background, one needs issues like these to fill in the blanks! A reader still has time to pick up the early issues. This is a great ride that Bendis is taking us on!

United States vs. Murder Inc. #4

Dec 5, 2018

Best issue thus far for Bendis, but I didn't like Rose taking a bullet. Let's hope this is a minor setback, but we now know, this is a very adult read!

United States vs. Murder Inc. #5

Jan 11, 2019

I loved the new insight into Valentine's plight. But hated that there was no Jagger Rose. She was hurt in issue #4, so I hope she is still around. But time will tell, and I'm hooked. Once again, this series is still in its infancy to pick up back issues at a bargain as Bendis's work will command top dollar by collectors, especially with a story this good! Do yourself a favor, and read (or re-read) Issues #1 – #4 to gain perspective and appreciate the new America that Bendis is painting!

United States vs. Murder Inc. #6

Feb 7, 2019

This series is in its infancy and there is still time to get caught up and get on the Murder Inc train! In this world of "binge watching", a new reader seriously needs to check out this series as it is dark and gritty! Cheers to Bendis for creating an alternate universe for these characters to play in!

Wonder Woman: Black & Gold (2021) #1

Jun 29, 2021

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.

Wonder Woman: Come Back To Me #1

Jul 19, 2019

VerdictAmanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti weave a great tale of Wonder Woman and her love for Steve Trevor. It'll be interesting to see how this unfolds if you have not read the Walmart Giant issues. Given the span of dimensions this character has gone through in DC with JLA Dark, the JLA, and the events that are upcoming in Leviathan, this story gets us back to her core.

Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti weave a great tale of Wonder Woman and her love for Steve Trevor. Wonder Woman continues to go through an interesting evolvement. However, if Connor and Palmiotti give her heat vision. I'm out!

Wonder Woman: Come Back To Me #3

Oct 6, 2019

Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti are painting an interesting love story set in the Bermuda Triangle. It's not a Harlequin Romance novel, but it's as close as we can come between these two" nice beach, huge bugs impaling people, a loose super villain, and an alien brigade who has orders to kill upon sight. Ain't love grand?

Wonder Woman: Come Back To Me #4

Oct 27, 2019

Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti are painting an interesting mystery now with this issues contribution to the story line. If you have been reading all along, it is too late to turn back, and you should be all in! Here's hoping we find out in the next issue where all of this is headed and any ramifications in the rest of Wonder Woman's life.

Wonder Woman: Come Back To Me #5

Dec 9, 2019

Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti take us right to the edge and pull the curtain aside so we can see what has really transpired- amusement for a spoiled princess. I'm looking forward to seeing how Wonder Woman treats the Princess now that they are in a "real life" and not in a virtual video game.

This ending of this issue faded! I like seeing a strong Amazon and I am not sure I got out of this issue what was intended. However, once you begin a journey with the Princess, you are all in! I now enjoy Wonder Woman with the JLA and JLA Dark. That's the side I enjoy now!

Year of the Villain: The Riddler #1

Sep 17, 2019

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.

Oct 9, 2019

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!
