It’s spooky season as The Nice House on the Lake #5 reclaims the top spot for the month, as the best of a bevy of fantastic horror comics releasing during the month.
DC PUBWATCH – September 2021 Edition
The leaves are turning and a wind of change is coming in the September edition of the DC Pubwatch. Oddly enough, Nice House on the Lake does not reclaim the top spot, though it is still a fantastic comic. No the top spot this month is going to Philip Kennedy Johnson and Daniel Sampere’s Action…
REVIEW: Superman ’78 #2: The Joy of Lex
Expectations for the second installment of any series are always high after a successful pilot. This is true for Superman and Superman II, as well as for Superman ‘78, which falls chronologically in between the two.
DC PUBWATCH: August 2021 Edition
Here in the great white north, it is hot and humid this August, so I hope that you are able to keep cool this summer. I already told you that The Dreaming: Waking Hours #12 is my top pick of the month, and why, and sadly, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow remains my bottom pick of…
Superman ’78 Inspires Nostalgia And So Much More
After Batman ‘66 and Wonder Woman ’77, the next cinematic adaptation for DC was, of course, the iconic Superman starring Christopher Reeve from 1978. I recently rewatched the movie (which is streaming on HBOMax), and was once again struck by how perfectly cast and perfectly acted both Clark and Lois are. But I was also…
DC PUBWATCH – May 2021
Mayday mayday! Waking Hours did not earn the top slot this month. Instead, that honor went to The Other History of the DC Universe #4, a book that has also been remarkably good for its run, but in a much different way than Waking Hours has.
Last Week’s Episode: Monopolies and Movies and Mayhem, Oh MY!
Welcome back to Last Week’s Episode! This week we have more depressing news about a merger that will end one monopoly and create a new one, YAY! But there’s actually a ton of legitimately exciting movies and TV to talk about too, so it’s not all bad. Let’s get to it!
DC PUBWATCH: March 2021 Edition
The Ides of March have passed us by and with it, another month of DC Comics. The first month of the Infinite Frontier era of DC started with a bang, with the one-shot of that same name, which in turn is leading into a mini-series to continue stories started in that issue. And of course,…
DC PUBWATCH – February 2021 Edition
It’s February! The shortest month, the coldest month, and the month of romance! So what does that mean for DC Comics? Well at the very least it means DC’s annual Valentine’s day themed giant is here, along with the second half of their Future State event. Will The Dreaming: Waking Hours #7 continue to lay…
Parenting Is a Challenge for Superman & Lois in “Pilot”
Editor’s Note (02/24/2021): A prior version of this review mentioned the character of Ron Troupe, who was named in the screener sent to journalists. In the final aired version, the character went by the name of Whit. Surprising nobody that reads my work, I’m a massive Superman fan. Superman, his family, and his supporting characters…
DC PUBWATCH – January 2021 Edition
New year, and a slightly revised format! While I’m still going to grade everything that DC publishes in the month, I am cutting back on the capsule reviews a little bit, and just highlighting the books that I really think deserve it, for good or for bad. This month that includes The Dreaming: Waking Hours…
DC PUBWATCH – 2020 Year-End Edition
Happy New Year! In a tumultuous year, DC still managed to put out some fantastic books, including the December output. My favorite book of the year, surprising nobody, was Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen, but Wilson and Roble’s The Dreaming: Waking Hours made a strong case, including December’s #5.
