There is always a denying person ready to dismiss something simply to gatekeep and enhance their preferences, and superhero comics are often their favorite targets. Fate 2099 #1 is not an introspective indie comic that strives for a layer of hidden meaning and does not pretend to pretend. Instead, it embraces exactly what it is: a bold, bold sci-fi superhero smash hero saga enjoys the sights while carving out its own space in Marvel’s futuristic landscapes. Simply put, it’s fun. Doomed 2099 #1 is one world under Doom’s tie-in. This is primarily a fighting comic with the clever cliffhanger. It’s…
Mr. Triffy: #4 of the first year begins with a flashback to Holt’s father. Always treat challenges like a game and don’t accept defeat. This is a memory that resonates throughout the problem, giving weight to every choice of Holt. In fact, framing reminds us that Michael’s story is more than a gadget or costume. That’s legacy, resilience and refusal to quit, even when the odds stack up against you. Artistically, this sequence also plant seeds. Holt walks towards the mysterious figure rendered in the shadows, leaving one of the biggest questions in question. Who is this mysterious being? DC…

Immortal Legend Batman #1 is a comic that involved me from the moment I heard about it. They had me in the writings of Kyle Higgins and Matt Groom. The duo has been behind my favorite cartoons in recent years, including Radiant Black, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, and Ultraman X Avengers. The whole concept is drawn from Tokyo and I’m a huge fan of Toku shows like Kamen Rider. Finally, I took a picture of Batman myth and gave it a sci-fi spin to appeal to my inner Star Trek/Star Wars/Mass Effect fans. But does Immortal Legend Batman #1 live…
Sometimes the prequel helps to inform readers of complexities that don’t always exist in the character, and this is the case with Robin & Batman: Jason Todd. This week, the third issue series marks the imperfect young Jason trying to become Robin, but it’s a bit too broken to fit in like Dick Grayson. In the finale, Jason is tested together with a murdering vigilante hero. Will Jason be killed for the first time, or will Batman’s biggest experiment fail? If you enjoyed Jason’s psychological quest in past issues, Robin & Batman: Jason Todd #3 takes it even more. The…

Where the fifth issue largely explored the ever-growing bond between the six main characters, Green Lantern Dark #6 was designed…
Arsenal is missing! what? But was he shot? Why does he go missing? Well, I was asking myself the same question. While Oliver searches for clues, it appears something has happened to Roy. Do you know what happened now? yes. Can you tell me? Heck no! Read the question! Well, I say this much to you: He’s not missing, but where he might surprise you. Now, however, considering the number of moving parts this arc has, how does problem #27 continue to pace? Well, I think it hit Bullseye. DC What author Chris Condon did very well is addressing political…
When Superman #28 launched the “Legion of Darkseid” story arc, fans probably were hoping to see some twisted take on the superhero Legion after falling into the influence of Darkseid. They probably didn’t expect to see Super Boy Prime of all the characters on the final page. Superman #29 goes to pick up this amazing cliffhanger as Superman and Superboy Prime travel through time and space to find help in the battle against corrupt legions. They quickly learn that the future is not the future they remember. Of all the big swings Joshua Williamson has ever filmed in Superman’s run,…
Wonder Woman is often not someone else, but it is useful when the maze is involved. You might think that only death and confusion will be found there, but there is far more connective tissue in Amazon than you would expect. It makes the latest issue a must-read for anyone looking to see Wonder Woman find her people. Absolute Wonder Woman #11 is primarily a matter of revelation, not only because Wonder Woman encountered important Amazon, but also because he learned what’s going on in the maze. Certainly prisons help define the central part of the matter, the people who…

News from Fallout #3 begin to peel off some of the layers surrounding its central mystery, diving deep into the bonds that some of the characters share. Like the previous issue, the news for Fallout…
