Legion of Super-Heroes #7 Review


Writer: Brian Michael Bendis Artist: Stephen Byrne, Ryan Sook Cover Price: $3.99 Release Date: July 29, 2020
Review by: Comic Boom Rocky - go to his awesome Youtube Channel HERE
We finally get an issue of the Legion of Super-heroes.  Seems like forever since the last issue that resulted in New Earth’s oceans being replenished with water from Aquaman’s trident. Where does one start with so many dangling plot threads to potentially explore in this issue?  Is anything of substance revealed to move the various plot threads forward?  Let’s dive into New Earth’s oceans and find out.

With the crew of the Derleth infested with alien worms, the crew of the McReady has to decide whether or not to help them escape the planet or try to resist them.

Batman/Superman #10 Review



Big Brains Bananas

Writer: Joshua Williamson
Artist: Clayton Henry
Cover Price: $3.99
Release Date: July 29, 2020

I haven't been the biggest fan of this book since it started, but I have enjoyed it more since Joshua Williamson was able to shed the Year of the Villain/Infected/Hell Arisen stuff and tell his own story.  This current Ultra-Humanite story has me intrigued, and while I am pissed that Atomic Skull isn't still walking the beat of Metropolis solving crimes and making up rhymes, I'll let that go...for now.  Let's jump into this issue and see if things get bananas!  Yea, I went there...

Red Hood: Outlaw #47 Review



Brawl For All


Written By: Scott Lobdell
Art By: Paolo Pantalena, Arif Prianto, Troy Peteri
Cover Price: $3.99
Release Date: July 28, 2020


Who knew that in a simple title like Red Hood: Outlaw that the world could suddenly be totally screwed and the only ones who have the power to stand in the way of the entire planet being overrun by the Demon Lord Trigon is the screw-up Robin with authority problems and his not-so-merry band of misfits.  That's the score though and somehow I guess we all have to think happy thoughts as the Outlaws fight out of their weight class to do the job that only they can do.  Let's jump into this issue and check it out.

Suicide Squad #7 Review


Writer: Tom Taylor
Artist: Daniel Sampere
Cover Price: $3.99
Release Date: July 28, 2020

Suicide Squad is is my favorite book at DC right now.  Chip Zdarsky's Daredevil edges it out overall (check out our Marvel Podcast!), but this is second, and there is nothing wrong with that!  Unless you go by the "first loser" mentality that never allowed me to experience fun as a kid.  Enough about me and my intense desire for attention from my father, let's see why this book and this issue are so gear...

Wonder Woman #759 Review


Writer: Mariko Tamaki
Artist: Mikel Janin, Jordie Bellaire, and Pat Brosseau
Cover Price: $3.99
Release Date: July 29, 2020

Wonder Woman is a book that has been in constant flux since Greg Rucka bailed, way back in 2017.  So, while I did enjoy Steve Orlando's (couple) times writing the character, I am hoping that things settle down, and Mariko Tamaki can give Wonder Woman fans something special.  Let's get right into, shall we?

Endless Winter - Is it DC Comics Next DCeased Story?


DC Comics released the tease for Endless Winter on July 24, 2020 with not much more than a banner that said "Endless Winter December 2020".  So, what does that mean?  Well, here is a theory...
