The new Dynamite Entertainment title “Space Ghost” #1, not available until May 1, 1024, but already receiving over 40,000 advance orders through comic book retailers, is written by David Pepose and illustrated by Jonathan Lau, with covers by Francesco Mattina, Jae Lee, June Chung, Bjorn Barends and Michael Cho:
“…with the territories of the ‘Galactic Federation’ spread far and wide across the vastness of space, pirates and hijackers ransack the distant colonies with cruel disregard for the innocent scientists living among them.
‘Yet there is a cosmic vigilante who metes out justice throughout the galaxy, bringing vengeance to those prey upon the defenseless. Some say he is a policeman who has abandoned the strictures of the law. Others say he is a phantom, the sole survivor of a war-torn planet. And those who have survived his wrath claim he is more a force of nature, able to bend the very elements of ‘Creation’ to decimate his enemies.

This review contains minor spoilers.
We’re reaching the business end of “The War of Jokes and Riddles.” However, when you think you know the direction in which Tom King is going, he pirouettes and does something completely different. Batman #27 isn’t only a continuation of the regular arc, but it also serves as an origin story for Kite Man. Yes, you read that right: Kite Man.
As the war gets out of hand, Batman intimidates Charles “Chuck” Brown, who worked on the Jokermobile, into getting a number for the Joker. Chuck goes to Floyd Lawton, Aka Deadshot, and gets the details for the Dark Knight. When the number proves to be untraceable, however, the Bat tells him to arrange a meeting with the Clown Prince of Crime instead, which he does. In the interim, the Riddler kidnaps and threatens Chuck into telling him when the meeting is taking place.

Riddle me this, riddle me that, what’s the deep, dark secret of the Bat? After last issue‘s cliffhanger, we’re getting closer to finding out what damaged the Dark Knight forever. However, Batman #26 is mostly about the Joker and the Riddler, as they plunge Gotham into a new chaos.
Now that the Clown Prince of Crime and Edward Nigma have beef, Gotham is stuck in the middle of their feud and suffering as a result. Anyone who gets in their way gets put down, while the rest of the villains must choose which side they’re on – think of it as the rogues’ own civil war. Seemingly, Batman and the Gcpd are powerless in the whole situation, as the bodies pile up and the war heats up. In fact, the list of victims on the last page is pretty frightening to see.
As expected,...

We got Batman the one man army, Green Arrow and Aquaman getting the same “We didn’t do it” storyline, and a few other DC books continue to lose steam after an amazing start! Read on to see what’s going wrong with DC Comics Rebirth!
Aquaman #12

Review: More of Nemo led by Black Manta framing Aquaman and the Atlaneteans for the attacks on U.S. Soil. No one wants to give Aquaman or the Atlanteans the benefit of the doubt and once more its Justice League to come get Arthur (while seemingly one cares about the surmounting death toll and damage being done to the various states). I think I’m done with Aquaman, this whole “U.S. hates Aquaman” storyline just keeps forcing me to stretch my imagination and acceptance of...

We never got The Dark Crystal 2 on the big screen in the end - but the story is coming to comics...
When it was released back in December of 1982, Jim Henson and Frank Oz's The Dark Crystal was something of a curiousity. Faithful fans of The Muppets wondered why the pair spent their time building an elaborate fantasy world on screen when they could have been working on another project featuring Kermit and company, and the rest of the audience wasn't sure what to make of the odd vision that was unfolding on screen. (Plus, some parents were concerned that the movie would be too disturbing for their kids and stayed away). Although the movie made its budget back, it never quite had the initial critical or pop cultural impact that Henson and Oz were hoping for, and was at first largely viewed as a compelling disappointment.

It was weird. It was creepy. But It was a huge success…and it’s been wayyyy too long….
Are you ready for another adventure in the Dark Crystal series??? If you are, let’s just hope you can read (And since you’re reading this right now…we assume you do)!
If you were a fan of the 1984 Jim Henson/Frank Oz puppet classic revolving around the character Jen, the elf-like 'Gelfling' on a quest to restore balance to his alien world by returning a lost shard to a powerful but broken gem, you’ll be glad to hear that the sequel will appear in graphic novel form!
According to THR, after more than three decades, we will finally see the continuation of this fantasy adventure thanks to the peeps over at Boom! Studios.

This week Batman’s plans for Operation: Break Bane’s Damn Back! Continues with an unexpected (but not really) twist, Green Arrow continues to deliver, and I basically give up Aquaman being interesting. To top it off I’m thinking I’ll finally drop Suicide Squad as despite Jim Lee’s artwork the story is just dumb. It’s lowest common denominator dumb. Characters acting different then they do anywhere else, being forced to feel more like the “movie”, and now potential zombie Captain Boomerangs. How did the other books fair this week? Read on!
Aquaman #11

Review: So it takes Arthur nearly getting beaten to death by the Shaggy Man (yes that’s a real villain, a robot that’s indestructible and looks like Big Foot) to finally win some good graces back...

After a brief hiatus from reviewing the great books of DC Comics I hop back and see what the current state of various series are. Officially moved from “I kind of care” to “I don’t care at all” are Cyborg, Justice League, Blue Beetle, Doom Patrol, Catwoman: Election Night and probably a few others soon. So the review list gets shorter! I am casually keeping up with these titles so if anyone has questions or thoughts feel free to sound off in the comments below and I’m more than happy to engage in discussion!

DC Universe: Rebirth #1
Story: Geoff Johns Art: Gary Frank, Ivan Reis, Ethan Van Sciver, Phil Jimenez, etc
Review: This came out on 05/25/2016 but I’m doing a quick recap here so it fits in with the rest of the rebirth reviews. This is it, the big bang of getting the DC Universe back on track and “fixing” some of the mistakes of the “New 52” era. Johns writes a plausible enough reason for how everything in “52” was created-seemingly by an all-powerful being (A very awesome character that I’m...

Batman by far is my favorite super hero regardless of the publisher. Most of my all-time favorite stories one way or another involves the Dark Knight. So of course the DC Rebirth title I was going to be looking forward to the most was going to be Batman’s. I was very excited to get an appetizer of things to come in Tom King’s run on Batman. Also I was hoping to get a little more clarification on the Joker reveal and some of Batman’s changes. But by the end of it I really didn’t feel like I got much.
Not much happened in this issue. One of the few highlights in the book was the interesting take they have on Calendar Man, he has a bit more character to him than I am used to seeing. Also we see Duke (from the We Are Robin Series...

Well after only four issues here we are at the end of the first arc of what is essentially the New 52′s version of the World’s Finest.
Some may indeed argue why it wasn’t called the World’s Finest anyway, but they would be missing a key premise of this series. Our main protagonists are young and relatively inexperienced, and though we may think they are at their finest at this point in their respective careers the world either fears or shuns them.
So with that pondering aside let’s crack on with the review. Jae Lee’s artwork is, as it has consistently been, outstanding. Many have argued that it is completely unsuited for a title such as this. I would strongly disagree. Though at times it can be difficult to differentiate between the multiple Bat and Supermen, particularly in this issue when several panels contain the...
