    So Joker Classic, Snyder Boogey-Man Joker and Morrison Joker are just Zur En Arrhs that Joker cycles between, then. It's novel and tidy, for sure. I don't hate it, because it's basically just...

    Sasha Bordeaux appeared in the initial arcs of Wonder Woman during Rebirth. Greg Rucka ran parallel storylines, a "Year One" with Nicola Scott, and a "make lemonade and reverse the New 52" story with...

    I was thinking of reasons other than simply going back to Johns "Last Son" dynamic, but honestly, since they spent all that time introducing Jon, and Tomasi worked with Johns a ton before the New 52,...

    You picked the sort of "shock 'em" panel to be sure. There were two or three that followed that I was like, "well, he's got his artist putting the slight "Dommy Mommy" subtext of Ursa into full-blown...

    The "fake" S.W.A.T. are essentially Iron Grenadier uniforms, and well, Mercer being involved at all isn't a little lore nugget, it's a full cast of characters thing, but it is the first time anyone...

    They have solid, beefy Freddy Williams art and clever ways of mixing the two properties. The characters all get moments to shine and behave right. There's great fun surprises. Nothing you "could do"...

    This is a fun angle when you compare/contrast it to the life lessons he learned as Chris Kent in another, partially still canon, partially not, timeline. That time he was what, a test shot to try to...

    Just popping in to give a "hell yeah" to this first issue. Based on Casey's mild bombast in the interview I read I wasn't sure, whether I liked this or not, how I'd feel about it as a piece of the...

    Not that Steel has always been depicted as quite as much of a hard-nose killer with a little dash of patronizing toward "girls" but I liked his inclusion. He didn't necessarily read as "made more...

    I liked this. I can find nitpicks in anything, but I thought the whole thing was well-structured and interesting, I think the premise is interesting, the art was lovely, and the selection of...

    I feel that way about Parasite, but the issue kind of hangs a lampshade on it with the "really helpful bracelet" and the fact that SuperCorp is already shady because it's LexCorp, run by Mercy, and...

    I know it's a stretch from what I generally like about Birds team-ups but I'm pretty interested in seeing Zealot and Barda compare notes about cosmic and extra-dimensional life. Lot of Space Angel...

    Inter-Gang works best because they're international, have Golden Age callbacks and are pawns of higher, darker powers, spreading a poisonous gospel to the very people Superman is trying to help, arms...

    It took me a minute to catch up on Williamson's newish run here.

    I'm a simple man. You don't need to reinvent the wheel. But you give me Lois Lane doing full-bore DAILY PLANET work and an act...

    Rebirth / Last Days / Reborn and that "Superman & Lois in the shadows" series was like the most Doctor Whovian thing ever. Poor Jon Kent. To even exist his life has to involve multiple sequential...

    Very much an anniversary issue. Somewhat "loosely" carrying over the ongoing plot thread but just using a big whammy as a reason to showcase some long-running and well-liked Nightwing artists seems...

    The problem with Melinda /Zucco/ Grayson-Lin is that introducing Zucco's daughter as Nightwing's sister kind of clashes with the fact that we recently met Sonia Zucco, Zucco's other daughter, that's...

    I'm stoked to see The Light make their way into mainstream. In the grand tradition of "cherry picking" but also "trying something new", I suspect some of them will be the same membership from YJ,...

    I like the weird/wild/fun element of this and there was some nice art. Nezha doesn't come across as a big bad, which is good. I actually like it when an initial thing doesn't turn out to be a big...

    Latest issue is my favorite so far purely on the strength of the art. But that being said, I like all the beats, too. I thought from the annual the freaky friday thing was a great choice and bringing...
