The fallout from Robin’s death continues in this week’s batch of Bat-comics, with Batman & Robin #19, showing just how nuts Bats can be. In this issue, Batman takes to Castle Frankenstein, along with some really creepy experiments of his own (dissection and brain matter anyone?), in his bull-headed attempt at resurrecting Damian Wayne. The [...]

Plenty of interesting revelations in this week’s batch of comics, so you can expect that this week’s review of books to be SPOILER-FILLED. Are you ready? Out from the ashes of the Court of the Owls storyline, a new hero emerges in the form of ex-Talon, Calvin Rose. Now he’s out for the remainder of [...]

Phew, finally I’ve found the time to put my thoughts together on this week’s comic book releases. As all Bat-fans would know, Batman #17 was released earlier in the week, marking the end of Scott Snyder magnum opus Death of the Family. Everyone seems to fine, no thanks to Batman’s quick thinking and training imparted [...]

This week we review four comic books, two with the words “Uncanny” in their titles; prudes among us better close their eyes as there are plenty of kissing and blood-letting going on. Poor ol’ Bucky can’t get a break, and while the hunt for his unwittingly wayward girlfriend, the Black Widow, ends in Winter Soldier [...]

Hmm, the dearth of Death in the Family titles this week is a little disappointing, with just one title, Teen Titans #15, bringing in the goods. Interesting though how inexperienced the Teen Titans seem to be in the New 52, getting laid in to a trap by the Joker and getting overwhelmed at the same [...]

Death of the Family is becoming a really amazing and disturbing storyline as DC ushers in the New Year with a bunch of Bat-titles this week. For context’s sake, we’ll start with Batgirl #15. The Joker has Batgirl on a date and has even proposed to her (for reasons why this came about, read Batgirl [...]

This week’s best comic book title goes to…drumroll please… A+X #2. While the AvX series focused on fights between individual Avengers and individual X-Men, A+X showcases team-ups instead. In the first part of A+X #2′s two-parter, Black Widow teams up with Rogue to destroy a particularly pesky Mark X Sentinel (there’s some mild girl on [...]

So how do you kill Wolverine? The last issue of Uncanny X-Force highlighted that death by drowning would be the way to go for the old canucklehead. But Wolverine dying (even by the hands of his son Daken, in a tank of water) wouldn’t be much fun and that’s why in Uncanny X-Force #34, you [...]

Quite a bunch of comics we got this week’s review round-up, but to break from the norm, lets start with the Marvel titles first. We get to see Angel in combat in Wolverine and the X-Men #20. This issue is primarily about him post X-Force and if you are not convinced that this is the [...]

Go for the eyes! In Red Lanterns #13, everyone’s favourite madman with a ring, Atrocitus, finds out a weakness of the new Third Army. But since the Third Army is modeled after the Borg (whereby they assimilate folks…rather disgustingly if I may add), it’s a matter of time that they develop a response to this. [...]
