Well, we hit the 100 issue mark and the Joker War came to an end. Frankly, at least to me, it was an absolute eye sore. Tynion’s run with this book started out with so much promise and all it took was a single crossover to completely reset things for me. Instead of reveling in a new story and how much I’m enjoying it, I find myself wanting to get as far away from the Joker War storyline as possible. That being said, with all the things that happened which will continue to affect Bruce going forward, I’m certain that the Joker War will haunt this book for months and months. The question is whether that will create the opportunity to tell a new story with new circumstances for our main cast, or if it will drag the story down by trying to tie everything back to this one moment. I’m hoping that Tynion will give us some interesting stories now that he isn’t involved with a huge crossover event, but I’ve been burned before. Let’s just try to stay positive and hop into this new issue.
The Metal Men has been a Maxi-Series that I've really enjoyed, not only for the amazing artwork, the cool callbacks to the original series but also... it's not every day you get a Metal Men comic that kicks a little ass, not to mention does something different with the characters. As our series is winding down though some of the aspects of the story are getting a bit convoluted with the Dark Multiverse tie its had since the beginning of the book and that's probably because the Dark Multiverse itself is pretty convoluted, but hopefully, as we get towards the end things will start to right themselves and we can end this series on a high note. Let's jump into this penultimate issue and check it out.
It's the penultimate issue of the Teen Titans and it's a bit of a weird feeling because while I haven't really enjoyed the series lately..... I love the Teen Titans and always want their book to be around. With that though, our heroes are going to close out their series by continuing their task of tracking down the villains that were formerly imprisoned by our heroes and who now are looking for revenge against our heroes and while doing that.... hopefully finding their former leader and the former Robin, Damian Wayne. Their task might get a little easier though because, at the end of the previous issue, it looked like Superboy would be joining their cause. Let's jump into this issue and check it out.
Ever since this title became important again and just wasn't telling random "Tales of the Justice League" stories, I've been enjoying what we've been getting and really dig the idea of making a new Death Metal Justice League team for this tie-in. Pretty much, I just enjoy seeing our heroes win for a change, which never really happened in the lead up to Death Metal or even in the event itself and these tie-in issues are doing something interesting for the overall story. That being said, let's see if my optimism for this continues after this issue. Let's check it out.
Since this Death Metal story seems to want to feature the Robin King so much, even though he just comes off as padding to me to keep characters occupied in a ridiculous, over-the-top manner, it's obvious that we needed a tie-in to the event that features the little, psychopathic Bruce Wayne from the Dark Multiverse that just wants to kill all the heroes...... and somehow can. Let's jump into this oversized tie-in and see if this book can make me stop hating the Robin King. Let's check it out.
