Sweet Tooth #6
February 8th, 2010 | By Greg McElhatton
With the start of the second "Sweet Tooth" storyline, this mixture of past and future is a strong opening installment.
Batman and Robin #7
February 1st, 2010 | By Benjamin Birdie
Morrison's Batman title has a good structure, interesting characters, and great pop art.
Doom Patrol #6
January 8th, 2010 | By Doug Zawisza
Following the "Blackest Night" issues is no easy task, so Giffen, Clark, and crew decide to reflect on what was. This isn't your standard navel-gazing though. It's navel-gazing, "Doom Patrol" style.
Magog #4
December 11th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
What happens when you take a character that embodies all that’s bad about superhero comics in the ‘90s and give him his own book? It’s bad. Surprise!
Doom Patrol #5
December 11th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
"Blackest Night" continues here with the "resurrected" Doom Patrollers raising hell on Oolong Island. In the backup tale, the Metal Men take on artificially intelligent mannequins, the Clique.
Sweet Tooth #4
December 6th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Stark, simple, strong -- both in the art and the narrative.
JSA All Stars #1
December 5th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"JSA All Stars" has a more manageable cast size than the old "Justice Society of America" book, but we'll see how it goes from here.
JSA vs. Kobra #6
November 14th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The chess match between Kobra and the JSA comes to close in this issue, but their interwoven story doesn't end here.
Batman and Robin #6
November 12th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
A slightly disappointing issue of "Batman and Robin," but even here there still glimmers of excellence.
Doom Patrol #4
November 4th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Doom Patrol" has its least amount of gloom yet. . . just in time for "Blackest Night." No, that wasn't a joke.
Ambush Bug: Year None #7
October 31st, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Issue #7 in this 6-part series is a disjointed disappointment.
Sweet Tooth #2
October 11th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
A solid second issue as Gus is taken under the wing of Jepperd with the hopes of sanctuary in a preserve for other hybrid children.
Wednesday Comics #12
September 23rd, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
Many satisfying conclusions, and a job well done.
Wednesday Comics #11
September 18th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
The weaker strips in "Wednesday Comics" are still on shaky ground, but the best pages are still worth the price of admission.
Sweet Tooth #1
September 8th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Sweet Tooth" has promise, but it's off to an awfully slow start.
Justice League: Cry for Justice #3
September 3rd, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Justice League: Cry for Justice" is improving slightly, but it's still got a long way to go.
Batman and Robin #3
August 26th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
The first story comes to a conclusion as the truth behind Professor Pyg is revealed in a scene no one will be able to forget, no matter how much they may want to.
The Red Circle: The Web #1
August 24th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"The Red Circle: The Web" trots out another one of the characters licensed from Archie, but once again, there's little you haven't already seen.
JSA vs. Kobra #3
August 18th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"JSA vs. Kobra" makes me wish that Eric Trautmann had taken over "Justice Society of America" when Geoff Johns left.
Wednesday Comics #6
August 12th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Halfway through the 12-week “Wednesday Comics” series and the quality remains high with gorgeous art and ever-improving writing.
The Red Circle: The Hangman #1
August 8th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"The Red Circle" event kicks with "The Hangman," but hopefully the remaining characters will have a slightly less cliché origin to be told.
Wednesday Comics #3
July 27th, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
One third of the stories are great, but just as many are less than spectacular.
Green Arrow/Black Canary #22
July 11th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
The cover sets Green Arrow up as the second feature, essentially making this Black Canary's book.
Wednesday Comics #1
July 8th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Wednesday Comics" doesn't just live up to the hype, it actually surpasses it. It really is that cool.
Wednesday Comics #1
July 8th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
Art is king in DC’s new 12-issue weekly series that recalls the Sunday comics pages, using a broadsheet format. 15 pages of gorgeous art on giant pages. Not too shabby.
Batman and Robin #2
July 2nd, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
Grant Morrison's new book isn't just "Batman" with a fancy title, it really is about "Batman and Robin" in more than one meaning of the phrase.
JSA vs. Kobra #1
June 11th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
In this first of six issues, Kobra returns with an attack on the JSA – on their front porch! The JSA, of course don't take kindly to that.
Batman and Robin #1
June 3rd, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
The new Batman and Robin introduce themselves to Gotham and readers! Just in time, too, because some new villains plan on doing the same. . .
Final Crisis Aftermath: Ink #1
May 28th, 2009 | By Chad Nevett
The Tattooed Man tries his hand at being a hero and finds that for every positive there’s a negative -- including being framed for murder!
Battle for the Cowl: Arkham Asylum #1
April 22nd, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
"Battle for the Cowl: Arkham Asylum" is an all right first issue of a mini-series, but oddly enough... it's actually a one-shot.
Titans #11
March 15th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
A "day in the life" issue fills the gap from last issue's throwdown with the JLA and the big "Titan"-ic crossover looming next month.
Birds of Prey #127
February 20th, 2009 | By Greg McElhatton
Tony Bedard finishes up his main story well enough, but the end of the series itself arrives a little too abruptly.
Titans #10
February 15th, 2009 | By Doug Zawisza
In this corner, the Justice League of America! The challenger – the not-so-teen Titans! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!
Faces of Evil: Deathstroke #1
January 21st, 2009 | By Timothy Callahan
A victim of the "idiot plot," this story doesn't have much to offer besides providing a transition to a new life for Slade.
Trinity #30
December 28th, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton
Kurt Busiek, Mark Bagley, and company continue on their year-long trek through "Trinity" and end up spinning a fun alternate-universe comic not quite like any other.
DCU Holiday Special #1
December 21st, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
Joe Kelly and Kevin Maguire do nice work in an otherwise mediocre holiday anthology.
Ambush Bug: Year None #5
December 15th, 2008 | By Benjamin Birdie
Ambush Bug turns on Dan DiDio and hilarity ensues. Modern production values might lose some of the original series' charm, but this one is still a laugh riot.
Supergirl: Cosmic Adventures in the 8th Grade #1
December 7th, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton
Landry Q. Walker and Eric Jones present an all-ages version of Supergirl, one that is actually more entertaining than her original counterpart.
Trinity #26
November 26th, 2008 | By Chad Nevett
DC’s third weekly series is half over and nearly impenetrable with almost a complete disconnect from the DCU.
Ambush Bug: Year None #4
November 23rd, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
Giffen and Fleming continue to bring the funny.
Trinity #21
October 27th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
While the series has improved in the past month, this issue isn't one of the best.
Trinity #18
October 6th, 2008 | By Benjamin Birdie
Trinity's second act begins on a high note, as a DC world without Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman takes shape.
The Alcoholic
October 5th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
Jonathan Ames and Dean Haspiel bring their talents to Vertigo's line of literary graphic novels.
Ambush Bug: Year None #2
August 29th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
It's great to see Giffen drawing the irreverent Ambush Bug again, but this issue's not all that funny.
Trinity #12
August 25th, 2008 | By Timothy Callahan
"Trinity" marches on, relentlessly, and with a flair for the average.
Ambush Bug: Year None #1
July 23rd, 2008 | By Doug Zawisza
Ambush Bug returns in all his glory, and Keith Giffen's got a whole new status quo in the DC Universe to play with.
Trinity #3
June 21st, 2008 | By Benjamin Birdie
In its third week, "Trinity" starts coming together. Mike Norton and Jerry Ordway's secondary story art is a visual treat.
Trinity #2
June 12th, 2008 | By Benjamin Birdie
The hesitations in reaction to the first issue are erased with the second, as things come together and characters become interesting.
Trinity #1
June 4th, 2008 | By Benjamin Birdie
"Trinity" is a book filled with great promise and trustworthy creators, but the first issue's structure makes it an unsatisfying opening for the new weekly series.
Trinity #1
June 4th, 2008 | By Greg McElhatton
It's a slow start for DC's new weekly series, but the character building sequences alone are worth the price of admission, and holds great potential for the year to come.
