Happy holidays from the DC Pubwatch! As we reach the end of the year, I want to reminisce a little bit. Over the course of the year DC published 729 books, of which I gave an overwhelming majority A’s or B’s. For the most part, other than a few books that missed the mark, it…
Fallen Angels #4: It Doesn’t Make Sense, Any Of This
I’ve been pretty clear with how I feel about this series, and Fallen Angels #4 doesn’t really do much to change those feelings. This series is still an unbelievably sloppy and downright confusing book. It’s a book that like it’s main characters, is struggling to find it’s identity. It feels like the book wants to…
Fallen Angels #3: Have We Hit Rock Bottom Yet?
Only two short weeks after the last issue of Fallen Angels, and it’s time for another helping of this extremely dysfunctional and badly characterized X-team. So is Fallen Angels #3 better than the previous issues? No, not really. This book is a complete garbage fire, and with the announcement of Hellions it sure seems like…
Fallen Angels #2 Keeps Falling Further And Further
Fallen Angels #2 Frank D’Armata (colors), Bryan Hill (writer), Szymon Kudranski (artist), Tom Muller (designer), VC’s Joe Sabino (letters), Ashley Witter (cover) Marvel Comics November 27, 2019 So I’m very hit or miss with Bryan Hill’s books. Fallen Angels #2 firmly falls in the latter column. Most of Dawn of X has been so fantastic,…

Supergirl at SDCC: Shared Experiences
Like last year, I was privileged enough to attend the Supergirl press room at SDCC this year. Unlike last year, I was also able to sneak into the panel later in the day to catch that news as well. Much like last year, the press room was a highly emotional event for me, this time…
