The integration of characters from “Watchmen” with the DC Universe is going to take another large step later this year with “Doomsday Clock.”  This four issue miniseries from writer Geoff Johns, his first full writing gig since the DC “Rebirth” special, and artist Gary Frank will have the superman of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ […]

The first batch of “Generations” one-shots, specials that feature legacy Marvel heroes teaming up with the originals, rolls out this month.  Whether or not it’ll help bring back lapsed fans into the fold is anyone’s guess, but current fans should come away satisfied.  That’s because you’ve got the likes of Jason Aaron writing current and […]

This is actually the first arc of “Saga” to have a proper name.  “The War for Phang” is described on the back cover as being “an epic, self-contained ‘Saga’ event.”  If you’re going to hype up a story to that event then you’d better deliver.  On that level, this volume of “Saga” is a genuine […]

A deceased debutant’s dildo.  A masturbating millenial mayor.  A merchandising meth-head named Matty.  These are just some of the new wrinkles introduced to the irreverent craziness of the plot of this series.  Roy, the cop who likes to think that he’s a smooth operator, is dealing with the fallout from the death and subsequent mansion […]

Tom King’s first volume of “Batman” took a familiar concept — Batman having to work with new superpowered characters who want to work with him to help Gotham — and didn’t do anything new with it.  “I Am Gotham” had some nice art from David Finch and Ivan Reis, but the storytelling never really rose […]

I made two mistakes regarding this series.  The first was buying this arc in three-volume paperback form.  There’s going to be an oversized hardcover collection of “A Nation Under Our Feet” released later this year that will not only be cheaper, but reprint-free as well.  The second was expecting that this concluding volume would offer […]

The main reason vol. 4 of this series only scored an honorable mention on my “Best of 2016” list was because I didn’t believe the death of a major character from its last few pages was genuine.  Now that vol. 5 is here I can say that I WAS RIGHT!  Said character returns in a […]

Savor the title of this volume because it’s likely the last we’ll see of “Invincible’s” traditional naming scheme when it comes to these things.  I’m expecting the titles of its last two volumes to be “The End of All Things, Part One” and “Part Two,” respectively and this volume really does read like a buildup […]

Much of this volume reads like a masterclass in trolling people who can’t stand the idea of Steve Rogers as a secret agent of Hydra.  This time around it’s revealed that Steve is going to have to rely on the help of his best friend in the whole world in order for his plan to […]
