DetailsGail Simone issues call to action to the comic industry in an attempt to raise money in support of Black Lives Matter.
DetailsCatwoman #22
Catwoman #22 (Sevenbergen, Allred, Downie) is a fun-loving and action-packed issue with moments of heart.
DetailsBlack Panther #1 (1977)
Join us this Sunday morning for a look back at Black Panther #1 from 1977! In his very first ongoing series, Black Panther comes to life with Jack Kirby, Mike Royer and Dave Hunt at the helm for a story that many are now likely to find a bit strange thanks to a Brass Frog and its impact on time, but captures the essence of how fun comics of this era were.
DetailsBirds of Prey: Sirens of Justice #1
Birds of Prey: Sirens of Justice #1 (Simone, Miranda, Kalisz, Lanham) leans heavily on great characterizations for a story that knows how to have a good time, but lacks the impact necessary to elevate the series beyond casual fun.
DetailsSwamp Thing: New Roots #6
This is a series that goes right to the heart of what Swamp Thing stands for, and while the story can feel predictable, rest assured the end we find in Swamp Thing: New Roots #6 (Russell, Santucci, Kalisz, Sharpe) is something you won’t see coming. It’s a wonderful twist that will have you thinking about this book long after reading it.
DetailsValiant 2020 continues to shine bright on a year that is a bit murky. Valiant and Displate have teamed up to make sure we “Stay Valiant” and decorated with style.
DetailsBirds of Prey
Do yourself a favor and just skip Birds of Prey (Azzarello, Lupacchino). A very pretty book with no imagination and a high price tag.
DetailsDC Comics has cut ties with Diamond Comic Distributors in surprise industry move.
DetailsIvar, Timewalker #1-4
Originality meets hilarious sci-fi filled action in a story that questions not just time itself, but also your very own place in history! There is plenty of humor, but there is also tragedy, discovery, disappointment, and the hope for something greater that all help to give Ivar, Timewalker #1-4 (Van Lente, Henry, Reber, Sharpe) a sense of uniqueness.
DetailsTeen Titans #41 (Glass, Thompson, Pansica, Ferreira, Maiolo) shows the writers of this book running on fumes, as “Djinn Wars” comes to a jaw-droppingly easy conclusion and the characters keep circling back to their inherent mistrust of Robin, who continues to be stuck in neutral right now as well, unable to admit his mistakes. A once-great book that has apparently run out of ideas, the art is stellar, but that’s about it.
DetailsBlack Lightning
Jefferson Pierce is definitely an “Arrowverse” protagonist, seen from his incredible chemistry with the other heroes during Crisis, but he feels awkward in a show that is much grittier than the rest. Going into the finale, the new antagonist is a lot more sympathetic than previous ones yet also one-shotted Jennifer, the strongest member of the team, leaving us on the edge of our seats to see what Black Lightning will do to save Freeland this time.
DetailsJustice League Dark #22
Justice League Dark #22 (V, Tynion IV, Martinez Bueno, Nahuelpan, Fernandez, Chung, Leigh) finds strength in the exploration of humanity, the natural order of chaos and how we can influence it with our own story, getting right to the heart of what this entire series has been about. It’s a can’t miss issue for sure.
