SDCC Coverage sponsored by Mad Cave Needless to say, DC’s Absolute Universe has been a clear success since it was launched over a year ago. To celebrate the launch of the first anniversary of the Absolute Universe this October, DC has announced two oversized absolute Universe one-shot specials and five pivotal new absolute Universe issues. The first is Absolute Evil #1 written by Al Ewing, with Giuseppe Kamunkori and Stefanonesi with art and main covers. Variant covers are provided by Fabrizio de Tommaso, Gerald Parel, Dustin Nguyen, and Riley Rossmo, and also have a foil variant cover shown…
After “Side Quest,” so to speak, Wonder Woman is back on track with the ongoing epics of Tom King and Daniel Sanpele. Wonder Woman #23 aims to start explaining people with the mouse on a cliffhanger a few issues ago. In a question with little words, Wonder Woman looks at what was right before doing what she was told to do. Wonder Woman #23 starts with a digital mouse clock with the words “Mouseman Know” written on it and flips to “Mouseman Knows.” The alarm screens “Mouseman knows.” The child says, “The mouse has ears… the mouse has ears…” and…
Krypton: When I first learned that there was a comic called Krypton’s Last Dog, I was sure it was definitely aimed at children. I was a bit confused when I saw Ryan North and Mike Norton leading the project, but there was no way Crypto’s comics were serious books, right? Well, Crypto: The last dog in Crypton #2 proved that this is probably not a children’s book, but heartbreaking and well done. However, it is important to judge this book on the cover before addressing the quality of the problem itself. By that standard it is already an extraordinary comic!…
Jeff Remair and Dustin Nuguen’s sequel to Robin and Batman was rocking with excellent first issues and Jason Todd ready to boil with rage. It gave us a unique view of what it was like to manage Jason when he was a young Robin, and how Alfred and Batman had their doubts about his pursuit of vigilance. That’s less obvious than in Robin & Batman: Jason Todd #2, as new vigilantes enter the scene. Robin & Batman: Jason Todd #2 begins with a nine-panel page featuring this issue and various important moments in Jason Todd’s history. They’re like a fever…
The dynamic duo of Mark Waid and Chris Samney continues Batman & Robin’s “growthing pain.” This ninth article brings us closer to the conclusion of the Maxi series. In this issue, the creative team drops a huge bomb on readers who deepen the emotional core of the series. Get ready for an action-packed adventure. This issue is not just about crime fighting, which creates a major bond that is even stronger than Batman and Robin. It’s about connections. DC This issue repeats three important actions: The first introduces the action with a creepy, gentle opener that explains the mob family’s…
If we were to describe a new god in one word, it would be “change.” The new Genesis is gone. Darkseid is dead. Hope appears to have been lost, but with the help of Superman and Earth, there seems to be still hope. In New Gods #8, the character lowers his hair and resets while the enemy prepares for another attack. The new Gods #8 begins with Iyama before he becomes the High Father. We witness the loss of his wife Avia and the long walk to become his highfather. The words are poetic, and the stories are inherently mythical.…
I have sung endless admiration for Snyder, Dragotta, Martin and Cowles’ monumental achievements in Absolute Batman. As you can hear it repeatedly, I would like to focus on one aspect of this issue that is obvious: humor. Absolute Batman #10 explores Bruce being trapped and tested in an underground facility in Ark M. This issue follows his repeated attempts to escape, and fails every time he hits a terrible, big, intense wall. DC Every good joke will ultimately have a bit of extra energy and can take people off guard. Just when you think you’ve found a punch line, there’s…
Something is taking over Titans Tower! What exactly is it? Worse, Barbara Gordon, aka Oracle, is missing! Anything that took over Titans Tower took Barbara. Naturally, Nightwing went into the belly of the beast to find her. But the most suspicious is that only Olivia Pierce gave Nightwing a new suit to go to the tower without hurting him. Yes, something isn’t summed up. So, with all this chaos going on, how does this question move the story forward with the “Tower of Fear”? Let’s break it down. DC Now Dan Watters is really doing his research because he isn’t…
The latest adventures in Gotham City Siren have been an incredibly fun ride up to date, but for everyone who wonders how magic happens, we were a bit worried about reaching the point of the story when we realized that it wasn’t a five-book miniseries, not a five-book miniseries. The first two issues were Zippy’s fun, continuing to maintain great momentum. As for Issue 3, that’s great! But while the third installment of Harley, Ivy and Catwoman robbers can burn out at 5 o’clock, the third quality isn’t a big drop-off, but it’s definitely an issue where you can feel…
The announcement of Marvel’s upcoming revelation age will continue in stages. The current Marvel method is revealed per day due to events of this size and range. Today’s announcement appears a little more calm after yesterday revealing that Jonathan Hickman has returned to the X-Books. However, these announcements provide a greater view of the Marvel universe that exists in this alternative future. Naturally, that may seem awful to the hero, but it’s a lot of fun for readers. Naturally, Gail Simone, who currently writes Uncanny X-Men, will work on one of his main X-Men books using the unbreakable X-Men. Simone’s…
