Hope everyone who celebrates a winter holiday had or is having a happy one, here we are at the end of another year, and another 638 comics covered by this here pubwatch. 2022 was full of great DC Comics, but really the two biggest winners of the year were Catwoman and Batman/Superman: World’s Finest.
DC PUBWATCH – May 2022 Edition
World’s Finest #3 is still great, but as she tends to do, Catwoman #43 snuck in and stole the best book crown this month.
REVIEW: Excalibur #25 Serves Up Arthurian Romance
I’ll always be a fool for a good Arthurian romance, and the important parts of Excalibur #25 certainly scratch that itch for me.
Previously on Comics: Pepe the Frog’s Revenge and DC Coming to Webtoons
Before we get into this past week’s news, I just want to redirect you to Kate Tanski’s previous Previously on Comics where she breaks down two very important issues: the ethics of comics creators moving to Substack and the importance of a bisexual Robin. If you missed out on this news in Kate’s piece last…
REVIEW: Excalibur #21 – Mutant Magic Meets High Society
The Hellfire Gala is in full swing after kicking off at the beginning of June with Marauders, X-Force, and Hellions, and this week we see more of the event play out in X-Men and Excalibur #21.
REVIEW: Excalibur #15 – When the Citadel Calls, Captain Britain Must Answer
The tournament started in Excalibur #14, so it’s only fair that by #15 it’s over and Krakoa has won. But that isn’t the end to the threat as the Annihilation helm has decided that it does not wish to play by the rules.
REVIEW: EXCALIBUR #14 – Fell To Pieces and I’m Still Falling
The competition begins in earnest in Excalibur #14 and immediately takes a wildly unexpected turn. After all, Otherworld is the realm of the Fae, and with them, nothing is ever as it seems.
REVIEW: The Plot Thickens in Vampire the Masquerade #2
If I know one thing from the World of Darkness, it’s that being a vampire is a tough life, filled with various dangers and crises.

REVIEW: Winter’s Teeth #1 Enters Vampire the Masquerade’s World of Darkness
Vampire stories are a genre unto themselves. Bram Stoker’s vampires operate by different rules than Anne Rice’s vampires or Stephanie Meyer’s vampires. But for those of us who play Vampire: The Masquerade obsessively, the World of Darkness vampires are the end all, be all of the species. Not only do they behave by different rules,…
Excalibur #10: Long Live Captain(s) Britain
After the long, unintentional pandemic break, we return to an Excalibur that is very different from what we left. What happened in the two and a half months off to get us to the new status quo of Excalibur #10?
Excalibur #8: Ladies, Is It Gay To Give My Friend A Warwolf Puppy?
Hey look, I’ve graduated to a good Dawn of X title. Hopefully, my friends Kwannon, Laura, and Nate are as lucky (I have faith that they will be, even though Laura’s off the table for now). Excalibur #8 provides a story that would fit in wonderfully as a classic Excalibur tale. Excalibur should always be…
