In the late 90s, Marvel and DC came together to make a line of comics called the Amalgams that crossed over their popular heroes and imagined them as one hero. Here we have Princess Ororo Munroe of Themiscyra, an amalgam of Wonder Woman and Storm, as written and drawn by John Byrne. Original source.

Flashpoint: The World of Flashpoint Featuring Batman by Brian Azzarello This book is a series of mini-arcs giving a glimpse of a world where Bruce Wayne’s Batman doesn’t exist.

Comic Review: Nightwing, Vol. 1: Traps and Trapezes by Kyle Higgins

Nightwing, Vol. 1: Traps and Trapezes by Kyle Higgins First, I have something to say to get it out of my system. Dick talks too damn much. I know it’s a diversion, but my goodness! In my head, he sounds just like he does in Under the Red Hood (as voiced by Neil Patrick Harris), […]

Comic Review: Batman, Vol. 1: The Court of Owls by Scott Snyder

Batman, Vol. 1: The Court of Owls by Scott Snyder First, I should say that, aside from Batman Vol. 1, this review also takes in account Nightwing, Vol. 1: Traps and Trapezes. I read it because I find with DC comics, when I’m interested in a crossover storyline, the supplemental comics feel necessary more than […]

I reread this book recently, and this still pretty much stands event though I do know more about the character and have read some of No Man’s Land and the events before and after it. Born into a mob family, Helena Bertinelli lost her family at a very young, becoming the sole […]

Batgirl, Vol. 2: Knightfall Descends by Gail Simone Just dial F for Feelings on this one. My second journey into a Gail Simone book, and let me just say, that I really enjoyed this book. Gail seems to have found her footing in this book and with the character. Much of the campiness that slightly […]

Graphic Novel Review: Batgirl: The Darkest Reflection by Gail Simone

Batgirl: The Darkest Reflection by Gail Simone Full disclosure. I stopped reading the New 52 after four comics. I read Mister Terrific #1, Justice League #1, Detective Comics #1, and Swamp Thing #1. Out of those four comics, I was only impressed with Detective Comics and Swamp Thing. Justice League was only “meh” and didn’t […]

Graphic Novel Review: Batman: Red Hood – The Lost Days by Judd Winick

Batman: Red Hood – The Lost Days by Judd Winick Before watching Under the Red Hood, I knew very little about Jason Todd. I knew there was a Robin that had died, but being as I was never a big DC fan growing up, I never read about his death or even had much insight […]
