DC is making good on their promise to deliver more “Watchmen”-related stories in the DCU with these solicitations.  A four-part crossover between “Batman” and “The Flash” called “The Button” has the “World’s Greatest Detective” and the “Fastest Man Alive” teaming up to find out the mystery of the iconic bloodstained smiley-face button and how it […]

Didn’t I review the previous volume around a month ago?  Well, here’s the next one which follows up on the fallout from “Standoff” while also tying into the events of “Civil War II.”  With regards to the former issue, now that Steve Rogers has been de-aged the question becomes whether or not he’ll take back […]

Am I in the mood for a new Image series from writer/artist Kaare Andrews about a vigilante who goes around murdering the most decadent and depraved of the upper class?  You better believe it!  In this post-Great Recession era (which is also the dawn of the Trump administration), I didn’t have to work hard to […]

Two volumes in and it’s becoming even more clear that the overall quality of this storyline is going to depend on how well writer Ta-Nehisi Coates sticks the landing in the next volume.  This second volume does suffer a bit as it’s the middle of the story and nothing is beginning or ending here.  Things […]

You know what they say about all good things, right?  Technically, the finale to Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s run on “Batman” was the conclusion to the “Superheavy” arc in vol. 9.  This one just collects their final issue together, some assorted odds and ends relating to the “New 52” era of the title, and […]

Now that I’m no longer expecting this series to chart the course for the Marvel Universe going forward, it makes for a more entertaining read.  Stark and his longtime friend James “War Machine” Rhodes are hot on the trail of the biohack ninjas who were following Madame Masque in the previous volume, and that has […]

I don’t have much experience with the title character, who is being properly re-introduced to the “Turtles’” current continuity after a mostly off-panel cameo in vol. 13.  Save for fighting him as a boss in “TMNT IV:  Turtles in Time” on the SNES.  Yet I still felt his introduction here left something to be desired. […]

The first volume of this series offered up some engaging stories that showed why the magazine “Battle” was so well-regarded in Britain while it was published, and why we get so many war comics from Garth Ennis (who has presented both volumes).  If you’ve got an interest in either of those things, then go pick […]

The good news here is that co-writers Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden followed through on my hope from the previous volume.  We see a further thinning of the cast in this penultimate volume of “Baltimore” and a fleshing out of a couple of the existing members.  Harish, the Indian soldier, and Kidd, the British smith, […]

It’s cute how the text on the back cover of this volume dances around the big twist in this newest volume of Steve Rogers’ adventures as Captain America.  We’re told that “The original sentinel of liberty is back!” and is focused on rounding up the villains on the run from Pleasant Hill, taking down the […]
