Gotham Knights: Pilot

I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. I have a lot of questions about characters either referred to in passing or not named at all, but I hope we’ll get there.

Flash: Wednesday Ever After

The Flash begins season nine, which will be the end of the series and, sadly, the Arrowverse. There’s a sci-fi trope, a new villain, and several complications emerging into the lives of Team Flash.

Harley Quinn: Climax at Jazzapajizza

Harley has been trying to build up Ivy’s confidence and get her to follow her dreams. Sometimes, that’s not a great thing for everyone else.

She-Hulk: Ribbit and Rip It

After a lot of teasing and hints, we finally get the guest star a lot of us have been waiting for. She-Hulk’s “Ribbit and Rip It,” is the first live action appearance of Leapfrog, but no, that’s not what got so many of us excited.

Marvel / Movies

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

“Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” both gives us the return of several heroes, the arguable debut of another one, and the theatrical debut of a major new villain: Kang the Conqueror.

Stargirl: Frenemies: Chapter Six: The Betrayal

There’s not much outright villainy afoot, which is just as well, since the team seems to be doing a great job of questionable choices and in-fighting amongst themselves.

What If… Miles Morales Became Thor?

Usually, when I review a comic book issue, it’s because it was particularly good. Sometimes, there are exceptions. This is one of those times, but it comes with a story.

Dark Crisis: Big Bang

Dark Crisis: Big Bang felt like an epilogue, which was an odd choice as it came out the week before the final issue of Dark Crisis.

Secret Identity by Alex

If you like superhero comics at all, this is a book you should look into.

Harley Quinn: Batman Begins Forever

“Batman Begins Forever” mixed some astute insight and actual compassion from Harley and an impressively thorough series of nods to various incarnations of Batman’s life and career.

The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special

This was surprisingly fun, and I was impressed at the music. There were a lot of ways for this to go wrong, and it didn’t. I’ll give this a 4 out of 5. If they do another one, I’m along for the ride.

Stargirl: Frenemies: The Evidence

This team is notably lacking a Batman type. They try and get somewhere with the case, with developments from last episode, and in a few different relationships in “Frenemies: Chapter Four: The Evidence.”

Nightwing Annual 22

There’s no set rule on what kind of story an Annual is going to tell, and this year they went with three different stories.

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

Like many, I was stunned when Boseman died so unexpectedly, and I did not envy Marvel at all with the difficult job they had ahead of them. Recast a legend? Lose a powerful, influential character that so many look up to? There was, and still isn’t, a right answer there.
