Robin 80th Anniversary #1 Video Review

Here is what DC said: "DC Comics celebrates Robin the Boy Wonder's 80th anniversary in style with an all-star creative team representing each iteration of the iconic character across eight decades of history! From the high-flying adventures of Dick Grayson to the tragedy of Jason Todd, the enthusiasm of Tim Drake and the arrogance of Damian Wayne, the persistence of Stephanie Brown and the rebelliousness of Carrie Kelley-the mantle of Robin has been worn by many, but always represents one thing: a hero."  Did they do what they promised?  Let's find out...

Plunge #2 Review

Writer: Joe Hill
Pencils: Stuart Immonen
Colors: Dave Stewart
Letters: Deron Bennett
Cover Price: $3.99
Release Date: March 18th, 2020

After an oil boat (with a side mission to do some animal research) called the Derleth that has missing since 1983 starts sending a distress signal again, the oil company hires a team of salvagers and a biologist to go investigate. At the end of the issue, the body of a man is discovered on the island with a slashed throat. Moriah, our biologist and the person who found him, sees centipedes coming out of his neck... and they're calling her name.

I felt that the first issue of Plunge was a near perfect first issue. But how's the second issue?

*Non Spoilers and Score At The Bottom*

Before we jump right into this newest issue of Batman, normally I take this opening paragraph to talk about where we are in the series and I will do that in a couple sentences but before I do that, I wanted to send my best wishes to all of our readers out there and encourage you all to remain safe during this trying time. Remember to stay alert, but not anxious. Wash you hands for 20 seconds often, avoid touching your face, and if at all possible, try to avoid contact with others. With that being said, Batman is currently in an odd place because we’ve finally gotten to the meat of Tynion’s first storyline and well, there hasn’t been a whole lot to be really excited about at this point. Not to say that the book isn’t enjoyable but we’ve been teased so many things for the past few issues, I’m just hoping to see some actual story progression in this issue. Let’s jump into the latest issue and see where it takes us.

Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen #4 Review

Can I Borrow an Ending?

Writer: James Tynion IV
Artist: Steve Epting, Nick Filardi, and Travis Lanham
Cover Price: $4.99
Release Date: March 18, 2020

I have been cautiously optimistic about Hell Arisen so far, but as we got closer to this ending, I have become more and more worried.  Why?  Well, because we aren't getting a lot of answers to the big questions and also, not much has happened. It's all been more about little moves on the chessboard than going for checkmate, and while that can change here, I am starting to doubt it.  So, is this issue game over, or are we just getting started. Let's find out...

Six hundred sixty-six of them, all transformed into their worst selves. It's a final showdown between two of DC's most iconic villains, all to curry the favor of Perpetua.

DC Comics Retro Video Review: Batman #59 (1950) - First Appearance of Deadshot

Written by: David Vern Reed

Art by: Lew Sayre Schwartz, Bob Kane, and Charles Paris
Cover Price: 10¢
Release Date: June, 1950


People love Deadshot, but few would recognize the guy above as Floyd Lawton!  Well, this is how he

looked in his first appearance way back in Batman #59 (1950), in a story called, "The Man Who Replaced Batman".  It's a tale of why Batman should never take a vacation and how Commissioner Gordon is a flip-flopper!
