Top Ten Worst Covers of 2010
“It was definitely a lot harder to find bad covers from 2010 then the best. While last year had handfuls of bad comics, all the covers I could think of were either creative (which usually met the standards of my Top Ten Best Covers of 2010 list) or sported decent artwork. But there are some that came pretty close to poor quality.”
I think this turned out pretty good since I had to...

Batman and Robin #19 Review
“After the previous issue of Batman and Robin dedicated its entirety to explaining the Absence’s origin, this issue gets back to the action and our heroes. The story is still great and the artwork has unfortunately remained horrendous but has its moments.”
I liked Cornell’s run more than I thought I would, but like many other comic reader’s I am still disappointed by the...

Heroes For Hire Free With Avengers #10
“For $3.99, Marvel lets you have a two for one special: Avengers #10 and Heroes for Hire #1, one of Marvel’s most popular new series priced separately at $2.99. The tenth issue of Avengers will have a complete reprint of Heroes for Hire #1 included with no additional charge to the usual cover price of $3.99.” Great first issue that I probably shouldn’t have bought so I could...

Witchblade #141 Review
“In the previous issue of Witchblade, the story and art fell flat when compared to the current Artifacts mini-series. The story was pretty good, though mostly a set up as the first part of the new story arc “Paper Monsters.” In this issue the story still hits the same notes as the last one, but the colors make the art even better than they were before.”
Not a very interesting arc, I...

Batman Beyond #1 Review
“After a pretty successful mini-series that had the fans of the futuristic Neo-Gotham asking for more, the first issue of the new on-going series Batman Beyond is a bit of a disappointment. If you’re reading some of DC’s other Batman titles you may want to stick with those, though the series could show signs of improvement; if they fire the artist and start focusing more on Batman.”

“The Gotham City Sirens are a team of three old villainesses of Batman – Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy and Catwoman. Another unofficial member is the Riddler, who has appeared in a lot of issues of the Sirens, sometimes helping them or solving some unrelated mystery. They have sometimes fought as a team in the name of good but have also done some questionable acts that have gone against the...

Character Affinity: Poison Ivy
“Better known as the scantily-clad-in-leaves Poison Ivy, Pamela Lillian Isley is dedicated to the plants she swears to protect from man. She first appeared in 1966 in Batman #181, a deadly foe and one of Batman’s few female villains at the time.”
I’m finally done writing all the biographies for the members of the Gotham City Sirens!

Character Affinity: Catwoman
“First appearing as a cat-burglar known as the Catwoman in Batman #1 who has had a relationship with Batman, Selina Kyle is currently trying to reform. Selina may only be reformed because of Zatanna’s mind swipe of her in Identity Crisis.”
Catwoman is one of my favorite characters of the DC Universe and I hope you check her out. There may be a lot more than you think that...
