Above-the-Board Recommendation: Catwoman:  Lonely City It’s been ten years since “Fools Night” in Gotham City.  That was the night that claimed the lives of Batman, The Joker, Commissioner Gordon, and Nightwing.  Not Catwoman, though, she just got sent to prison.  Now she’s finally out and Gotham City is a much safer and less crazy place […]

Above-the-Board Recommendation: Star Wars:  Visions #1 This is an odd round of solicitations because a lot of comics from the previous batch wound up getting delayed and are re-solicited here.  Among the actually-new comics being solicited here is this one-shot based on the “Star Wars:  Visions” animation anthology.  Surprisingly, this story based on “The Duel” […]

Written by Tom Taylor and illustrated by Andy Kubert, “Batman:  The Detective” has a very high-profile creative team for a miniseries that doesn’t have any direct connection to the current goings-on in the “Batman” books or wider DC Universe.  That raises expectations a bit since you figure the story they’re telling has to be special […]

You know how I said the podcast was going to be up either tonight or Saturday?  Logistics reared their head again and it’ll be up on Wednesday.  All I can say about that is… HALLOWEEN! If you think about it, the “Reckless” series has been building up to this point.  As she’s become a bigger […]

No podcast… yet.  There were some unavoidable logistics problems over the weekend and John, Steve, and I haven’t been able to connect yet.  We’re looking to record either Friday or Saturday, at which we’ll upload it once we’re done.  Until then… The last time we saw Edison Hark, he was investigating a series of murders […]

You’d think he’d be satisfied with having just one fictional universe all to himself.  Yet here we are with “Tales From the Outerverse,” a collection of stories set in the shared realms of “Baltimore” and “Joe Golem,” co-created by Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden.  These stories were meant to add characters to and flesh out […]

Vol. 1 of “The Department of Truth” was a well-constructed marvel which tied the idea that belief shapes the world to the history of conspiracy theories as they relate to America.  It did this with a reveal at the end of the first issue that stands among the best I’ve seen in recent memory.  Vol. […]

Vol. 2 of this series was held back by how it was about America’s relation to technology and how – stop me if you’ve heard this before – it wound up being used for the wrong purposes and things started going wrong!  The good news here is that vol. 3 sees things get back on […]

Jenni, the serial killer who goes around killing men who prey on women, and the women who help them, is still at large when this volume opens.  She’s almost at the end of her list of targets, too.  That’s good because Zoe is closing in on her as well, and the bit of detective work […]
