Batman #123 Review

 

Huh, I'd Like to Meet His Tailor

Writer: Joshua Williamson

Artist: Howard Porter

Cover Price: $4.99

Release Date: May 3, 2022

While I am still trying to enjoy the Shadow War, I think Joshua Williamson is starting to lose grip on his story as it's progressed.    The wow factor of Ra's al Ghul's murder has come and gone, and now we are stuck in a snail's pace story watching the characters in the book slowly catch up to what we already know - Deathstroke didn't do it.  For some reason, Williamson thinks the big thing is who did it, but I want to know why.  My bet is on GeoForce, but something tells me Ra's is also involved.  So let's see what we get this week in Part Five of the Shadow War.

A Series Of Unfortunate Events

Cover Price: $3.99

Release Date: May 3, 2022

It's the final issue of this run of the Suicide Squad and while I think the beginning of this series was really strong, by the time that Ambush Bug showed up and started yucking it up page after page, not to mention the actual War For Earth-3, this series started going downhill fast and now that we're at the end I can only hope that it can finish itself off well, but since the premise of this story is Rick Flag looking to kidnap Lex Luthor for funding of his Suicide Squad and this squad doesn't have actually anything to do with the American Government or Argus.... that feels like a weird way to go, especially for a group that wants to do good...... for the most part. Let's jump into this issue and see what Rick Flag and his rag-tag group of misfits can do to close out this series.

Task Force Z #7 Review

Dying To Join

Written By: Matthew Rosenberg

Art By: Jack Herbert, Daniel HDR, Adriano Lucas, Rob Leigh

Cover Price: $3.99

Release Date: May 3, 2022

Let's get back to the icky business of looking at dead bodies. Well, what used to be dead bodies, but are now an undead group of super-villains looking to stop Powers International and Mr. Bloom from continuing their research of the Lazarus Resin, and it's funny because at this point, it all kind of just seems like a personal vendetta. I mean, Two-Face wants to be legit and be the main man in charge of the research and development of Lazarus Resin but essentially it all just boils down to the fact that it's just what he wants and doesn't really have an actual claim to it. So with that let's jump into this issue and see if our main characters can put together some more Lazarus resin, put together a team and go and take back what was taken from them by Mr. Bloom. Let's check it out.
