Batman (2016) #34

Oct 31, 2017

Tom King takes big risks with his characters. Whether his current decisions will pay off to everyone's liking remains to be seen, but this issue is interesting enough and an awful lot of fun in the meantime.

Dark Knight III: The Master Race #9

Jun 7, 2017

Never quite living up to its own, daunting roots, The Master Race ends with neither a whimper nor a bang, but a solid and rather safe shuffling off of its rather long winded narrative. You won't be disappointed, but neither will you be thrilled.

Oz: No Place Like Home #1

Feb 23, 2016

Oz: No Place Like Home is a one-shot designed to rope fans in to their upcoming series' and at that, it does a fine job. If you're looking to push the case that comics are art, this might not be the book to take to debate class. But if you're looking for some mindless fun and a guarantee that you'll never see Dorothy in the same light again, then this might be the book (and indeed the comic book company) for you.

Secret Empire #2

May 17, 2017

This event seems to be going nowhere fast and the inclusion of all the shock twists in the world ain't gonna save it. After three issues (including the zero issue or three and a half if you include the free comic day issue) this should be further along. Here's hoping that Nick Spencer can somehow pull all this together and live up to the highly contentious concept he first introduced.

Shaft: Imitation of Life #1

Feb 24, 2016

Make no mistake, this is not a comic for kids; this is a world of adults, bad choices, seedy underworlds and righteous fashion. Ernest Tidyman's creation is in good hands. Such good hands, in fact, that upon finishing the first issue I immediately wanted to go out and find Tidyman's novels, watch the films again, buy the action figure, andgrow an Afro.
