Frequent collaborators of writer Jeff Lemia and artist Dustin Nuguen, released in March, are reunited for Robin & Batman: Jason Todd. Today, DC announced the preview page and cover of the first issue. I have previously explored the early career of original Robin Dick Grayson in the 2022 Robin & Batman miniseries. Tackling Jason Todd with Lemia and Nuguen is the logical next step. As teased in the original announcement, the new Robin & Batman: Jason Todd miniseries introduces a mysterious new villain. Their salt-worthy comic fans are well aware of Jason Todd’s infamous reputation in Batman mythology. Jason Todd’s…

I don’t think it would be controversial to say that the ultimate universe was originally a success. Regardless of your preference, Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimate X-Men attracted new readers and reinvigorated the interest in comics among many. It can be argued that approaches updating old stories, or fully telling familiar characters and stories of alternative universes, can sometimes be confusing, but generally the stories tended to be interesting. And later books like The Ultimate proved to be the basis for how the Marvel Cinematic Universe merged. I will not deny the book’s impact on the film. (Even if I personally…
This is my review of Thunderbolts*. But it’s going to take a while. At the 2016 San Diego Comic–Con the Marvel booth had a secret: a large object under a concealing curtain. Then, as now, the Marvel booth was a hub of excitement, but in 2016 it was maybe even a bit more excited. In 2016, the MCU was in full bloom, at the height of its powers. Marvel Studios would only release two movies that year – Captain America: Civil War and Doctor Strange, but Civil War was the launch for Phase Three, perhaps the greatest period for any…

The great influence of art in Claire’s obscure world cannot be denied: Expedition 33. Expedition 33, a mysterious, gray-haired man called Renoir, reminded me of the famous French painter Pierre Augerste Renoir from the looming presence of “pain,” does the perfect job of showing how art introduces art and how it has acquired it. It takes place in a fictional city called Lumière, and at first glance the world of Expedition 33 looks like an apocalyptic Paris. Oddly, Lumiere’s picturesque scenery feels as if there is a beauty in destruction. In fact, one of the first things we saw was…
