Review: The Man of Steel #4

By Garrett Hanneken

Sometimes what makes Superman a relatable superhero is when he’s at his lowest. The Man of Steel is a symbol of hope and the epitome of what a superhero should be so when a story challenges his status we begin to see Superman as a vulnerable and human character. With that noted, the latest issue of The Man of Steel ditches the almighty demeanor of its titular character and gives us one who is powerless.

Kabul Disco Book 1: How I Managed Not to be Abducted in Afghanistan, is a satirical autobiography by Nicolas Wild. It is published by Humanoids under the Life Drawn label and it is a slice of life story that is part of a graphic Travelogue series. It is humorous and provides a different viewpoint than I have ever read before, making it a highly interesting read.

Review: Batwoman #16

By Cat Wyatt

Issue #16 of Batwoman brings us the finale in the Fall of the House of Kane plot, and while it has had its ups and downs let it not be said that it ended in anything other than a bang. The cover of this issue should give you a good idea of what will be happening here – Batman and Batwaman are about to fight it out.

Review: The Brave and the Bold: Batman and Wonder Woman #5

By Hunter Patrick

At least the art looks good. We are now at the penultimate issue of Liam Sharp’s Wonder Woman follow-up with Batman. The two deals with Celtic mythology. Wonder Woman is chosen while Gotham gets invaded and thus the two heroes team up. Out of the Trinity, Batman and Wonder Woman have the least amount of a relationship, and so the premise of these two together is strong. Do not get it wrong though; this is mainly a Wonder Woman story… at first. Where we are now being full-on Celtic mythology. The title of the book is a mislead, and for that, it worsens the book. It is expected to be an awesome team-up between the two characters. This issue balances between the mythology and the titular heroes, but it still may draw people out. If someone bought the first four issues, then, of course, this issue is a necessity. Not the best one, but still gorgeous.

Review: Batman #49

By Cat Wyatt

In the last issue of Batman, we saw the first half of the Best Man plot. Batman #49 continues the plot, and here we’ll have Selena coming to the rescue of Batman. This is uncommon enough to be interesting, so it’s something that many fans have likely been looking forward to.

Unsurprisingly this issue picks up almost exactly where the last one left off. The Joker is hanging around in the church he’s been messing around with, half of the place having been blown to hell, Batman is unconscious somewhere, and there’s a ton of dead bodies all over the place. Oh, and Selena has just dramatically walked in. Somehow despite all of the chaos the stained glass windows have survived – an interesting point, all things considered. Obviously, Selena probably isn’t terribly happy about what she’s walked in on. After all, her fiancé is lying unconscious or worse. You’d think this would immediately result in a fight, no room for chatting allowed. And you’d be wrong.

Review: The Magic Order #1

By Dan Traeger

For a writer who learned at the hip of Grant Morrison, you’d think by now Mark Millar would know better than to half-ass out a plot and try passing it off as a fully developed story. But that’s the fun and ultimately frustrating thing about Millar. He’s inconsistent as fuck. Back in the day, Millar was either brain bleedingly bad (The Ultimates, The Unfunnies, Nemesis) or absolutely on point (Civil War, The Authority, Aztek) and it was a pretty rare occasion where you’d find him phoning it in. Lately, though, he still has the great (Kingsmen, MPH, Chrononauts) and his bad stuff has morphed into an all over the map series of meh. (War Heroes, Kick-Ass, Starlight, The Jupiter Cycle, Huck.)

Review: Regular Show... 25 Years Later! #1 Review

By Damien Becton

Regular Show is known for its crazy and extremely far-fetched comedy plots that contradict its title. A show (now a comic) that stars a talking raccoon (not Rocket), a talking blue jay, with a talking gumball machine, and living lollipop should be expected to have ridiculous stories to accompany it. This comic adds another element to the ridiculousness by setting the current story 25 years into the future where Mordecai and Rigby have started families and are parents and husbands. I’ll say this - if you’re unfamiliar with the cartoon and what I just described sounds entirely too stupid to enjoy, don’t even think about getting this book. If you’re a fan of the original, you’ll know what to expect and probably get a kick out of it.
