Will there be any fall out or will everything be ignored? What--if anything--will Bruce do when it comes to his two sons?

Red Hood: Underestimating, Misdirection & Knowing Your Opponent

It's still not clear what Jason's real objective is, and we already had it confirmed that he's not just after revenge. But that's not what I wanted to talk about, I think it's time to discuss how he's been approaching his scheme.

Monday, June 17, 2019

Tom King interview

Some thoughts on this.

SPOILERS AHEAD for King books

Wednesday, May 22, 2019

Rumors that Tom King is off Batman at #85

Look it's too early to say if this is true or not. I'm not a fan of his writing and haven't been reading much of his Batman. But to all those people I've seen hoping he writes Booster Gold...why?

Tuesday, May 21, 2019

Reading Back Issue of Wally West

I'm catching up on Waid and Johns runs. I think I still have two trades of Waid's first run to get but I just completed Johns run. I mean I knew Heroes in Crisis wasn't a good look at the character but knowing what's ahead it really makes it more awful.

Friday, May 17, 2019

DC solicits August 2019

Well I did find one "new" thing that I'm thrilled is being released.

Would DC Reintroduce Lian Harper?

I mentioned it and after seeing a few people bring it up I think it might be a good idea to see if it's possible.

Deathstroke #43

I'm behind in a lot of my comic reading but I wanted to get this done while the arc is still fresh. (I know there's one more issue but still.)

SPOILERS AHEAD

Friday, April 26, 2019

The Sanctuary Killer HIC #8

There's a lot to talk about but for now I'm just going to try to focus on who we are told is responsible.

SPOILERS AHEAD

Saturday, April 20, 2019

Teen Titans #28-29/Deathstroke #42

I was uncertain if I wanted to pick up this crossover since I didn't like the Lazarus Contract or Deathstroke. But this story seems to be the one to kick off a big shift in the team dynamic. It might help that another (third) series isn't roped along this time.

SPOILERS AHEAD

Tuesday, April 16, 2019

DC's Year of the Villain and Underworld Unleashed

Ever since I heard of this Year of the Villain concept I've been plagued with this nagging feeling that it sounded familiar. Which made me overthink what this could mean for the event.

Friday, April 12, 2019

DC Solicits for July 2019

Some thoughts on how a few of these connect.

5 Questions I have about Bana-Mighdall

I've read through different Wonder Woman runs as well as Red Hood and the Outlaws, there's still A LOT of stuff that's not explained. Or in some cases things that need to be explained in the new canon. But I narrowed it down to the questions that I'm most curious about.

Customizing with the TBLeague 1/12 Figures

It turns out there might be an easier way to customize 1/12 if you know how to sew.

Monday, April 1, 2019

Batman: Bruce Wayne Murderer and Fugitive

I bought both of these trades on digital in the 80th anniversary sale. While I previously only read the Batgirl issues I was struck by how these crossover/tie in/events were handled.

Especially when compared to more current bat family events.

Friday, March 15, 2019

DC Solicits for June 2019

There's only one series I'm getting and very little to talk about in general.

RHATO # 32 is number 5 on digital

At least on the DC digital pages. It's more impressive since some of the other books were released in previous weeks like Doomsday Clock.

EDIT: The last time I looked it was on #3.

Controlling Bruce

I have some thoughts on a big section of RHATO #32 in regards to Bruce's relationship with Jason.

SPOILERS AHEAD

SPOILERS AHEAD for Young Justice comic

Wednesday, February 27, 2019

Flash #65

Will we finally get real conflict between Batman and Flash?

SPOILERS AHEAD

Why didn't editors stop this stuff from happening?

Continuity hasn't been great for awhile, nothing new there, but King really had to add things that weren't in a previous story? I mean this is an extremely big part of the Flash plot that he ignored.

SPOILERS AHEAD

Saturday, February 23, 2019

Best theory I've seen for what's inside the box

It may or may not be correct but it makes the most sense out of the other theories I've seen. I saw it in a comment on one of the TT posts on tumblr when the issue came out.

Red Herring or Clue?

I was thinking about the Solitary and Wingman mysteries when this occurred to me.

What's up with Wingman?

There's a new Wingman that's been trailing Red Hood...and we don't know who he is.

Batman #65

This arc doesn't quite pack the punch I was hoping for.

MacFarlene Toys gets DC license

Spinmasters does have a license but it sounds like MacFarlene will be making more collector based figures. Reactions have been a little mixed since Macfarlene is more known for its sculpting although their Fortnite figures are examples of their ability to have articulation.

Adorable Bat Family Statue

I never get statues but this one is so cute that I'm tempted. There's so much personality from all the boys. The only thing I'd change is switching Barbara to Cass.

What's in the box?

The biggest question every reader of the TT annual had.

Teen Titans Annual #2
