While the Kaiju designs are fun and the frames and panels are no doubt beautiful, the story really doesn't pack that much of a punch as ypu'd though it would. Still have fun with the monsters rampaging through Gotham.
The first crossover of the "Rebirth" era is here! As a huge storm approaches Gotham City, Batman, Batwoman and Nightwing try and prepare for the worst, but nothing can prepare them for enormous monsters rampaging through the streets! Batman will need all of his allies to unite in order to stop these mad science monsters from tearing their city apar...
A solid read about characterization of Nightwing and getting to be what he truly is. While Owl villain was basic at best, Raptor really forms a formidable obstacle for the bird in blue to overcome. The art is solid and clean overall and the inclusion of Batgirl is a welcoming addition.
Dick Grayson is back in Gotham City, fighting to reclaim the life that was taken from him! But when a new evil threatens those closest to him, he must once again tear himself away from his home in order to combat this dark force as Nightwing! Collects NIGHTWING: REBIRTH #1 and NIGHTWING #1-4, 7 and 8.
It won't be a reach to claim that this is, in my opinion, one of the best title in rebirth era. The story is so heartfelt and so smartly written, the characterisation was on point, the team up was cool and every member got their own spotlight to shine. The ending was so sad yet sets up so well for this era. The art is gorgeous and so enthralling. This is a remarkable BatFam title.
The Dark Knight teams up with Batwoman to take on new protégés Red Robin, Spoiler and the former villain known as Clayface! The only problem is, neither of these instructors knows what they're in for as a mysterious army takes Gotham City! This new DC Rebirth collection features DETECTIVE COMICS #934-940!
While the ending could've been mildly better, there's no doubt that this gritty look at how difficult it is to protect Gotham is really poignant, sad yet in a way beautiful. The art is solid with really stunning panels. This one is a solid read.
The Caped Crusader has never been stopped. Not by the Joker. Not by Two-Face. Not even by the Justice League. But now, in the wake of DC UNIVERSE: REBIRTH, Batman faces his most challenging foe ever-the idealistic hero known as Gotham, who wants to save the city from Batman himself! Collects the pages of BATMAN: REBIRTH #1 and issues #1-6 of the ne...
While the reveal was a lil predictable, the art is faithfully gorgeous and smart, the character work and the story really speeds through a great look in the life of The Flash, as the selfless speed icon.
A new storm brews over Central City and disproves the old adage about lightning never striking twice! Just as Barry begins to feel overwhelmed fighting crime, a new speedster appears-but just where did this amazing new ally come from? Now, the Fastest Man Alive finds himself in a city of speedsters-and dealing with the reappearance of Wally West! C...
This was so good. Rebirth getting off to a good start as Wally finds his lighting rod. The story is kept heartfelt and yet giving little details for the event to move forward at a sure and steady pace. Wally is given more spotlight here but of course his friends, Titans, were not behind.
The members of the super-team known as the Teen Titans were heroes but, more than that, the best of friends. A special bond held them together through even the toughest situations.
Then their connection became a memory. And that memory faded, stolen from time. Only one person remembers. His name is Wally West. Once upon a time, he...
Literally such an efficient way to show change throughout the universe without breaking characters but solidifying them as the art stays fantastic through its panels. The story is intelligent world-building with really thoughtful writing. Can't wait to get into the meat of the matter.
It all begins here. Do not skip to the last page. Do not let a friend or message board ruin this comic for you. The future (and past) of the DC Universe starts here. Don't say we didn't warn you!
THEY SAID IT: "Rebirth is about focusing in on the core of the character and their respective universe," says writer and DC Entertainment Chief Creati...
The story beats are kept consistent in this second volume of the classic Winter Soldier series where Cap's dilemma is answered but at what cost. A solid characterisation for Cap and the charcters involved as we come to know about the tragic circumstances of Bucky. Stakes feel high yet so contained and the emotions involved are strong. Satisfying yet so brutal and poignant.
Collects Captain America (2004) #8-9 & #11-14. The questions plaguing Captain America's dreams and memories have been answered in the most brutal way possible. And in the wake of this brutality, General Lukin makes his first all-out assault!
Ed Brubaker pens a thrilling and dreary story of the past coming back to haunt Captain America, as it sets up for new chapters to explore. It's intriguing, smart and the pace keeps you thoroughly invested as it picks apart Cap's shaky memories. The art is stunning here and the #7 ends with a haunting look at a destructive mind. It's spectacular.
Collects Captain America (2004) #1-7. Cap is awakened in the dead of the night by agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., who need the kind of help only he can provide. But the corpse he finds on the Heli-carrier brings him face-to-face with an unthinkable return, and opens doors to terror and manipulation he never dreamed possible!
This is an excellent read for a Marvel fan such as me(DC Fan too) who also likes Captain America as a great character. The story of him adjusting to a familiar America which is not exactly his own is emotional yet sad. The pacing is kept steady to keep you invested partnered with a great art. The writing is also thoughtful as Steve struggles to find his place.
In the waning days of World War II, Steve Rogers - Captain America - seemingly sacrifices his life to save his nation. But decades later, he finds himself revived, thrust into a strange new America he barely recognizes. As he meets the heroes his legend inspired, Cap comes to understand what his sacrifice has meant. But it doesn't change one fact: ...
New 52 Superman goes out in a glory of emotional drama that packs a punch with his powerful relationships and his gaping ache of saving the world. Although the pacing is something to be polished, the art is stunning in this action-packed farewell.

This is such an interesting story to boot. Putting Clark and Lois in a familiar but not their world just gels so well with the addition of Jon. So many is at stake here, the art is so beautiful and yet i wish there was a more formidable villain here for them to overcome.
