Nick reviewed Tales of the Human Target #1 Sep 25, 2022
This is a good issue. I think the big twist is kinda predictable, but that doesn't stop it from being a pretty solid little character study for each of the narrators.

Art by Mikel Janin, Rafael Albuquerque, Kevin Maguire and Greg Smallwood Building on the most critically acclaimed series of the year, Tom King and four of comics' top artists tell the tales of what happened before Chance drank Luthor's poison.

Judgment comes and the Quiet Council grows suspiciously quiet. An exception: Do you think a man so devoted to the Hellfire cares one jot? Let's find out.

Nick reviewed Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #4 Sep 24, 2022
The art is definitely the highlight here.

Witness the birth of the new DC Multiverse!
Spinning out of the pages of The Flash, the heroes have learned the secret of Pariah's new worlds-but at what cost does this knowledge come, and what can they even do with this information-or even worse, perhaps Pariah and the Great Darkness want them to know...? On Earth-Zero, Deathstroke continues t...
Nick reviewed X-Men: Red #6 Sep 24, 2022
This was pretty good.

Nick reviewed Amazing Spider-Man #9 Sep 23, 2022
This one felt really rushed.

HELLFIRE GALA TIE-IN!
• Something happens at the Hellfire Gala that sends Spider-Man and WOLVERINE on a dangerous mission all over creation!
• That's right - the best duo in comics is back, but who are they fighting, and what (or who) are they fighting for? NO SPOILERS HERE!

Nick reviewed Batman #127 Sep 23, 2022
Jorge Jimenez is absolutely incredible.
/127_small.jpg)
With brutal efficiency, Failsafe hunts the Dark Knight, leaving a trail of injured heroes! Batman retreats to the manor as he prepares for a final assault...will the last few surprises he has in store be enough? And in the backup, Catwoman reaches a shocking conclusion in her search!
Nick reviewed Love Everlasting #2 Sep 22, 2022
This is an interesting one. I think I want to like it a lot more than I do. Ultimately, this just feels like so much buildup for a minimal payoff. It seems like the issue could've gotten its point across in like half the pages and still been just as effective.
"THE HUNT FOR LOVE"
Joan wakes into another nightmare of love. 1920. She's the maid and Roger's the heir to the manor, and though it is forbidden, they are inevitably drawn together. But soon clichés begin to crumble and blood begins to spill as Joan fights back.
Nick reviewed A.X.E.: Judgment Day #3 Sep 22, 2022
I liked it a lot.

JUDGMENT DAY BEGINS.
The heroes know what they have to do. But do they have to do it? They were smart enough to get themselves into this mess. Maybe they can be smart enough to get out of it....

Nick reviewed Batman: White Knight Presents: Red Hood #2 Sep 22, 2022
This is fine.

Dammmnnnn

The Dark Knight's greatest villains get their greatest stories yet! The Riddler, Two-Face, the Penguin, Mr. Freeze, Catwoman, Bane, Clayface, and Ra's al Ghul-Batman's most iconic villains are all given 64-page Prestige format specials that show why they are the greatest villains in all of comics, spearheaded by today's top talent.

Absolutely delightful.

THE FLYING GRAYSON FLIES THROUGH TIME! The Dark Knight and the Man of Steel might have been victorious in their battle against the dreaded Devil Nezha (but were they, though? More on that to come, kids...) but there's one thing they forgot in all the madness...Dick! Robin the Boy Wonder is lost in time like some kind of chrono-Home Alone...and to f...
Nick reviewed Nightwing #95 Sep 20, 2022
This was a solid issue.
/95_small.jpg)
Heartless has an extra-giant jar that has Blockbuster's name on it, but as a man of refined taste, Heartless doesn't just collect any type of heart...he waits for someone to experience a specific emotion in particular before taking it all away from them and adding it into his collection. Does Nightwing have what it takes to save the life of the ver...
Nick reviewed Batman: The Knight #8 Sep 20, 2022
It started off slow, but I mostly liked where it went. The art is definitely the best part of the issue.
/8_small.jpg)
Bruce Wayne's journey to become the Dark Knight has taken him around the globe several times, but his training is nearly complete. His trials, however, haven't gone unnoticed: someone has been watching him...hunting him! The final test of the Batman begins!
Nick reviewed Iron Cat #3 Sep 20, 2022
This was a very average issue.
/3_small.jpg)
• IRON CAT vs. IRON CAT?!
• Tony Stark and Felicia Hardy aren't going to let the mysterious wearer of the Iron Cat armor have all the fun.
• Nope, Tony has done his own spin on the Iron Cat armor, and Felicia may like some of his innovations.

Nick reviewed Amazing Spider-Man #8 Sep 20, 2022
The art could've been better for such a visually focused issue, but other than that this was good. I enjoyed Spider-Man's quips and I appreciated how refreshingly light and breezy the whole thing felt.

• Spider-Man has a new costume and accessories that look vaguely...familiar.
• Is that a GLIDER?!

Nick reviewed Detective Comics #1063 Sep 20, 2022
I loved the main story, but the Jim Gordon story has completely lost me and I honestly have no idea what's going on.

Old friends Bruce Wayne and Harvey Dent share a moment together asking: At what point does Gotham not need a Batman anymore? As Batman's investigation around Gotham leads him to encounter more and more demonic beings, the one thing they all have in common is...they're all people he fights to keep off the streets and behind bars. But when Two-Face a...

This was a great issue!

Big things happen! Featuring the fan-favorite new character "Dee" Donovan! That's her on the cover! I think I have a thing for powerful women. It has a lot to do with stuff that happened to me as a child. I don't really want to get into it here!!
