Batman / Santa Claus: Silent Knight (2023) #1

Dec 6, 2023

I look forward to watching Santa team up with the Gotham gang as he tries to keep the world safe. What can go wrong with Batman getting trained by Santa Claus, an ancient Viking who slays beings who go bump in the night? The short answer is easier to explain. Batman and Santa Claus #1 gives us a gift that keeps giving.

Batman / Santa Claus: Silent Knight (2023) #3

Dec 20, 2023

Batman and Santa Claus: Silent Knight #3 has brought us to the brink of the wonder-wall of the mystic and magical, with legends breathing themselves back to life. We're nearing the end of the line for this short series, but having woven into the Knightmare escapades was a beautiful path to choose. I look forward to the next issue!

Batman / Santa Claus: Silent Knight (2023) #4

Dec 28, 2023

Batman and Santa Claus: Silent Knight #4 gives us all a new take on what Christmas means, and most certainly what the true spirit of the holiday is. I like the way the story of Krampus and Klaus was depicted and intertwined so interactively with the DCU. Each one of the interactions and reactions is genuine and heartwarming.

Harley Quinn (2021) #33

Oct 25, 2023

Harley Quinn #33 delivers both a beginning and an end. Finally the question of what certain people wanted, who were involved with Harley ages ago, has been answered. This is a promise that I hope to see kept as the next few issues unravel what's been sown by Tini Howard since she took over this title. I look forward to seeing you all next issue!

Harley Quinn (2021) #37

Feb 28, 2024

Harley Quinn #37 definitely brings the different sides and fears of people into play. One thing I loved was getting both Harley and Joker in so many different spotlights in the same book with each of the sides being represented so well.

Harley Quinn: Black + White + Redder (2023) #4

Oct 19, 2023

Harley Quinn: Black, White, and Redder #4 is utterly amazing. Zoe Thorogood gives us the most exquisite art, the "Who Are You? page is such a testament to her skill. Kyle Starks and Chris Schweizer give us a reason why it is better to be kind. Sean Lewis, Hayden Sherman, and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou give us laughs galore in a brilliantly crafted story.

Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing #12

Nov 8, 2023

This series has given me a chance to really enjoy at a plot line that, not only makes sense, but works in a way that opens even darker doors. The humble adoration and respect, matched by a supreme bloodlust and zero restraint is what stands out in Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing #12. The shenanigans make me wish for more, because the whole series was so highly enjoyable. I mean, just watching the Joker blimp go against the Joker train was worth the price of admission.

Justice Society of America #9 provides us with a launch into what to expect in the next issue and I, for one, cannot wait to see the reactions from the rest of the team. We're turning a corner for this story arc and I can't wait to see what's next for Helena and the rest of the team, as the next part of the saga unfolds.
