The future is now! The Legion Of Super-Heroes series is the one I’ve been waiting for the longest, ever since DC first teased their return at the start of Rebirth. The funny thing about the future though, is it’s not set in stone and where the heroes of the

A Trip Through The Madness (Joker: Killer Smile #1 Review)

JOKER: KILLER SMILE Writer: Jeff Lemire Artist: Andrea Sorrentino Colorist: Jordie Bellaire Letterer: Steve Wands Publisher: DC Comics/Black Label Rating: 9/10 The pairing of Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino on a Joker book sounds like a match made in heaven right? Well guess what it was, but not in the way you might think. JOKER: KILLER SMILE is the latest release for DC's Black Label imprint, where they take DC characters but put a spin on them and take a more mature appro

BATMAN AND ROBIN VOL.1 Writer: Peter J. Tomasi Penciller: Patrick Gleason Inkers: Mick Grey and Guy Major Colorist: John Kalisz Letterer: Patrick Brosseau Publisher: DC Comics Rating: 7/ 10 Titus's I am a big fan of all things BatFam. I love all of Bruce’s kids and even though Damian Wayne isn’t necessarily a fan favorite, I still have a ton of adoration for that wild child. I was in the mood to read up on some of their early days of crime-fighting. So, I picked up Batman and

The Unexpected Sacrifice (Flash #81 Review)

FLASH #81 Writer: Joshua Williamson Artist: Scott Kolins Colorist: Luis Guerrero Letterer: Steve Wands Publisher: DC Comics Rating: 10/10 FLASH FACT: Joshua Williamson killed it on this issue. He has once again cemented himself in my top 3 favorite Flash writers. It's still unbelievable to me that more people aren't talking about this book. Maybe they're aren't as many Flash fans out there as I would think. But speaking as a hardcore Flash fan I can't even begin to tell you h

Abandon All Hope (DCEASED #5 Review)

DCEASED #5 Writer: Tom Taylor Penciler: Trevor Hairsine Inker: Stefano Gaudiano Colorist: Rain Beredo Letterer: Saida Temofonte Rating: 10/10 Song: Mad World by Michael Andrews On the surface, the zombie trope is straightforward. A group of survivors against the insurmountable odds and a planet full of rage zombies. Easily can it be discarded as gore porn and get lost in the sea of zombie related titles that’s been around for decades. The zombie stories that stand out are alw

FLASH FORWARD #1 Writer: Scott Lobdell Penciller: Brett Booth Inker: Norm Rapmund Colorist: Luis Guerrero Letterer: Troy Peteri Cover Artist: Doc Shaner Publisher: DC Comics Rating: 7/10 To say that I was anticipating this series would be an understatement. First off, Wally West is my favorite character and second I've been waiting to see DC redeem him after the events of HEROES IN CRISIS. Well, I have to say that this was a little underwhelming and kind of disappointing. The

HARLEY QUINN: BREAKING GLASS Writer: Mariko Tamaki Artist/Colourist: Steve Pugh Letterer: Carlos M. Mangual Publisher: DC Comics Rating: 9/10 When I first heard about DC’s line of YA graphic novels, one of the titles that I was most anticipating was Mariko Tamaki’s Breaking Glass. It was easy to imagine how characters like Catwoman and Teen Titan’s Raven could be made appropriate for younger audiences, but I struggled to imagine a portrayal of Harley that would be suitable. I

The Comic Lounge Picks of the Week (9/4)

Here they are guys!!! The picks for this week. Don't miss out on all of these exciting new and continuing series. RYAN'S PICKS EVERYTHING #1 Ok I'll admit the initial reason I wanted to check this book out, was the fact that it was part of the Berger's Books imprint at Dark Horse. Everything that has come out from them has been critically acclaimed. Now I know why. I won't get to much in to the details, I'll leave my review for that, but I will say that this is without a doub
