Peacemaker Premiere Review: A Hell Of A Debut!

January 20, 2022 by Ritesh Babu 2 Comments

Spin-offs can be a tricky business. Is it too much? Is it diluting what was in the original material? Is it lesser than said material? Was it worth it? A lot of questions immediately pop up. That’s twice as true when you’re dealing with a spin-off built around resurrecting a dead character. And very specifically, a character whose death was central and pivotal to the original material in question. So there’s a number of questions, but also, ultimately, just one:

Does it work?

I’m happy to report that, at least for my money,  Peacemaker absolutely does.

But before we dig into that, let’s consider what all brought us here a moment. [Read more…] about Peacemaker Premiere Review: A Hell Of A Debut!

The Greatest DC Detective Stories Review!

February 28, 2021 by Honey H Leave a Comment

Many of us have our own definitions of what count as the “greatest” stories ever told. Stories we parade around as our recommendations to any new or curious reader who wants to hear our thoughts. Many of us put out our top-10 lists on forums, or argue on twitter about which story is the best one ever told. And these lists do not even have to be in order or have a defined structure. They could just be a handful of stories you think are awesome.

DC and Marvel are both no strangers to this concept, they’ve published trades in the past collecting their favorite stories. They might give us a collection of origin stories, or deaths, or weddings, or world-shattering events. This time around, DC has given us a list of what they believe to be their “Greatest Detective Stories Ever Told.” Whether or not this is a valid claim, we will see. I will be taking us down this rabbit hole of days gone-by and do my job as a critic to give my readers as much information as they can, so they can decide if this comic is good for them.

The Essential Jimmy Olsen Comic Book Stories

July 17, 2019 by Dave Leave a Comment

Jimmy Olsen is one of the most recognizable supporting characters in comics, and for my money, the most famous pal in history. The red-headed bow-tie wearing Daily Planet photographer is up there with Archie and Dennis the Menace as fictional presences interwoven in the modern American mythology.

My Favorite DC Comics of 2017!

December 18, 2017 by Dave 6 Comments

In terms of what’s on the actual comic book page (and not who’s working in the actual comic book office), DC Comics had a terrific 2017. The earned respect and praise of DC Rebirth carried through much of a year that saw the best event in superhero comics (Metal) and easily the year’s most respected “superhero” title in Mister Miracle.
