I have been reading comics since I was eleven - over a quarter-century! I love them as an art form as well as the characters, and want to see them continue to grow as a respectable medium. It's my humble honor and privilege to act as editor-in-chief of Comic Watch!
The Last 52 – War of the Multiverses #1
Dark Nights Death Metal: The Last 52 – War of the Multiverses #1 is a comic about hope, just when we need it most. It isn’t perfect, but if it doesn’t make you smile as heroes rage in defiance of certain doom, I don’t know what will. #DCComics
DetailsA Very Lobo Hanukkah
DC’s Very Merry Multiverse #1 (King, Koblish, Hi-Fi) closes on a tone-deaf note when Lobo, of all characters, is transposed as a very, very violent representative for the Jewish people in “A Very Lobo Hanukkah.”
DetailsThe Secret Origin
Dark Nights: Death Metal – The Secret Origin #1 (Snyder, Johns, et al.) feels like it’s trying to cram too much into an already-overstuffed story, & despite some strong & unexpected character beats, winds up falling victim to its own lack of necessity.
DetailsTeen Titans: Endless Winter Special #1 (@AndyLanning @ronmarz @MSantucciArt @JssMerino) is a great bridge between the recent past & near future of the Titans franchise, as well as being another solid installment of “Endless Winter!” #DCComics
DetailsJustice League #58 (@AndyLanning @ronmarz @Xermanico @MSantucciArt) shows readers a different side John Stewart, and “Endless Winter” is all the better for it. This crossover is far stronger than it has any right to be, and shouldn’t be missed! #DCComics
DetailsAquaman #66 (@AndyLanning @ronmarz @MSantucciArt @Mikemaluk): ENDLESS WINTER, Pt. 4! Aquaman & Mera may have found an army of allies that could turn the tide against the Frost King… but is it too easy? Don’t sleep on this fun story! #DCComics
DetailsDark Nights: Death Metal #6
Dark Nights: Death Metal #6 (@Ssnyder1835 @GregCapullo @jonathanglapion) continues to prove what an event comic ought to be: big, bold, & bombastic fun, but also capable of being small and intimate. This is comics storytelling at its finest. #DCComics
DetailsSuperman: Endless Winter Special #1 (@AndyLanning @ronmarz @philhester @MSantucciArt) hits an emotional highpoint for the Man of Steel, bringing some gravitas and weight to the story thus far. #DCComics
Details“Endless Winter” rages on in Flash #767 (@AndyLanning @ronmarz @claytonhenryart Maolo @swands), a fun romp of a comic that doesn’t ask much more of its readers than to buckle up and enjoy the ride. And that’s more than enough! #DCComics
DetailsThe Last Stories of the DC Universe
Dark Nights – Death Metal: The Last Tales of the DC Universe #1 (@Ssnyder1835 & friends) is a heartfelt look at our heroes’ last night before marching to what will almost certainly be their last hurrah. Beautifully crafted & worth every penny! #DCComics
DetailsEndless Winter, Part 1
Justice League: Endless Winter #1 (Lanning, Marz, Porter) is a comic that isn’t necessarily bad but doesn’t have any meaningful reason to exist, either. The art boosts an otherwise forgettable story, but that’s about it. Is it time for Future State yet?
DetailsThe Other History of the DC Universe is an experience like few others. Find out why it’s so important, and the lessons we can all take from it. From John Ridley, Giuseppe Camuncoli, & Andrea Cucchi. #DCComics
