Welcome to this week in comic book reviews! The staff has come together to read and review nearly everything released today. It isn't completely comprehensive, but includes just about everything from DC and Marvel with the important books from the likes of Image, Boom, Dark Horse and more. The review blurbs you'll find contained herein are supplemented in part by longform individual reviews for significant issues. This week, that includes,,. ![]() Single Issue Request Fills Week 23a 12v Battery CvsThe links to those are also included with a snippet from the review in the following slides. Slide 1 of 8 DC #1 BATGIRL #26 A familiar foe, a surprisingly high-octane adventure, and some major changes for Babs make this one of the best Batgirl issues since the Rebirth launch. ![]() Barbara’s conflict with Grotesque excells on so many levels — allowing Barbara to really show off her skills as a detective, a hacker, and a superhero, all while providing some genuinely impactful twist and turns. Echoing through the entire issue is a sentiment of looking for beauty in the most unexpected places, something that will probably prove to be essential for Barbara, depending on where things go next. -- Jenna Anderson Rating: 5 out of 5 BATGIRL ANNUAL #2 For Batgirl’s newest annual, Scott and company take Barbara back to her roots, with some pretty interesting results. After Barbara sees some chilling similarities between a recent serial killer and a memory from her childhood, she is forced to confront her complicated past with James Gordon Jr. What unfolds from there is occasionally contrived, but largely intriguing, with enough twist-and-turns to keep readers intrigued. Casagrande’s art really makes this issue pop, tonally fitting with the aesthetic of the recent Batgirl issues while getting dark enough for the annual’s subject material. ![]() Single Issue Request Fills Week 23a 12v BatteryNo matter how much of a fan you are of Barbara Gordon, you should definitely check this issue out. -- Jenna Anderson Rating: 4 out of 5 CATWOMAN / TWEETY AND SYLVESTER SPECIAL #1 DC hits another one out of the ballpark in their ever-growing universe of crossovers between their traditional superheroes and Warner Brothers' stable of cartoon characters. Although the reasons Tweety and Sylvester found themselves in Gotham was flimsy at best, this one-shot still provided an incredible amount of laughs and plenty action to boot. With Gail Simone on the words, I always expect to have a good time and this book lived up to all expectations and then some. Single Issue Request Fills Week 23a 12v BatteryWhen a property like this fully realizes what it is and embraces it, that's when the results are best and Simone and company fully embraced this bizarre crossover and made one hell of an intriguing read. -- Adam Barnhardt Rating: 4 out of 5 HARLEY QUINN / GOSSAMER SPECIAL #1. The 2018 DC / Looney Tunes crossover is here and in it Harley Quinn gets partnered with the best possible character given her colorful personality: Gossamer, the big, hairy, red-orange monster most frequently associated with Looney Tunes' resident mad scientist Dr. It's a pairing that Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti gets right with a story that reads pretty much as what you'd expect from a Harley Quinn adventure while Pier Brito's art and Paul Mounts colors truly shine in how Gossamer is presented. That said, the story itself is way too long and takes up too many pages and panels setting up and then, even once Gossamer joins the party, takes too long to get to the 'action.' In contrast, the Looney Tunes portion of the issue, written by Sholly Fish, is a delight and Dave Alvarez' cartoon-style Harley might just be one of the better artistic takes on the character I've seen. Overall, Harley Quinn Gossamer Special #1 is a fun break from the usual insanity of the Harley Quinn world. -- Nicole Drum Rating: 4 out of 5 JOKER / DAFFY DUCK SPECIAL #1 As with the other DC/Looney Tunes crossover issues, Joker/Daffy Duck includes both a lead and a backup feature, with the lead feature being done more or less in DC house style and the backup feature as Looney Tunes. The lead feature, by writer Scott Lobdell and artists Brett Booth, Norm Rapmund, and Andrew Dalhouse, reunites a team that has worked together in the past, although never on this particular character. The art is dynamic, with creative panel layouts and a good use of color, but the narrative itself feels truncated. It meanders right up until an abrupt ending. The dialogue is fine, although the schtick of Daffy's lisp is something that works better in animated form than on the page, especially when you get scenes that are more dialogue-heavy and sentences that are more complex than Looney Tunes generally supports. -- Russ Burlingame Rating: 3 out of 5 JOKER / DAFFY DUCK SPECIAL #1 (BACKUP) The backup, written by Joey Cavalieri and featuring art by Luciano Vecchio, takes a surprisingly middle-ground approach to the art style, not quite in the Looney Tunes vein but not fully DC either. It almost feels like it's Batman: The Animated Series inspired more than anything else. Tonally, and as far as pacing, the writing is stronger, and Vecchio's Joker is downright menacing -- sometimes to the detriment of some of the more comedic panels but usually to good effect. The setup feels more like classic Looney Tunes, and some of the meta humor feels like something you might get out of more recent ones -- which is funny because the plot of the lead feature actually feels more of a piece with some of the recent Looney Tunes reboot attempts than the backup does. -- Russ Burlingame Rating: 4 out of 5. Slide 2 of 8 DC #2 (Photo: DC Entertainment) LEX LUTHOR / PORKY PIG SPECIAL #1 This mashup of supervillain and Looney Tune delivers an impressive amount of everything in a very short package: plot, humor, commentary, and detail-fascinated storytelling. While there’s a range of commentary on display, taking jabs at everything from prescription drug pricing to the bitcoin bubble, the story is focused on the corruption of large corporations. It fits Lex Luthor perfectly and Porky Pig makes for a surprisingly choice foil, one with whom readers can sympathize without rooting for. The story takes a comedic approach that throws as many gags at the reader as possible, making those that flop easy to miss, and never loses track of its thesis. This is Russell at his absolute best, hammering on a wide range of issues through a lens that feels like it shouldn’t work, but absolutely does. -- Chase Magnett Rating: 5 out of 5 NIGHTWING ANNUAL #1 The Nightwing Annual is a continuation of the current arc in the series, focusing on Dick Grayson's fight against Wyrm, essentially a program of digital terrorism. Subtlety is completely lost on this issue, and the series as a whole. The analogies and metaphors about the digital age, the corruption of media, and our reliance on technology are completely over the top and in your face. The points being made are certainly valid, but it's too straightforward to actually be enjoyed. I will admit that, if the approach to the story was a bit more obscure, it would be the perfect tale for Dick Grayson's personality. And, despite my issues with the writing here, the art makes the issue fairly enjoyable from time to time. -- Charlie Ridgely Rating: 3 out of 5 RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS ANNUAL #2 If you've been reading Red Hood and the Outlaws lately, there's been a lot going on. That's not a bad thing, but the pacing of Red Hood and the Outlaws Annual #2 is definitely a welcome change. Scott Lobdell's story gives readers a bit of a moment to catch their breath, especially after Jason went rogue a few issues back and attempted to murder Penguin, but also does a nice job of setting up Roy Harper/Arsenal's trip to Sanctuary in the upcoming Heroes in Crisis. However, the issue is more than a bridge to a new story. Before the issue closes, Lobdell circles back and picks up story threads — particularly for Artemis and Bizarro — tantalizingly reminding readers that there's no rest for an Outlaw. It's definitely a solid read and maybe one of the best issues to date. -- Nicole Drum. Rating: 5 out of 5 SCARLET #1 [] The overall effect of Scarlet #1 isn’t much different from leaving on a 24 hours news network for too long in 2018. It has the consistent feeling of being extremely dire, but manages to make only superficial observations and just makes you want to walk away after a while. It’s obvious that the creators involved in Scarlet are capable of greater things, but this concept draws out their worst traits. The story is so assured of its own relevance that it forgets to actually challenge readers, even assuring audiences that they already know whether this is for them early in Scarlet’s monologue. There is a great comics story to be told about the historical and current divides within American society, this simply isn’t it. -- Chase Magnett Rating: 2 out of 5 THE SILENCER ANNUAL #1 This might be the best issue of The Silencer yet, although that's not exactly high praise given the mediocre quality of past issues. The Annual is a flashback story that shows the Silencer's first trip into Gotham, and her first run-in with Batman. The annual also provides some much needed insight into Honor's fierce ties to her family, which perhaps serves as why she's so insistent upon keeping them close. Single Issue Request Fills Week 23a 12vEven when rushing into danger. Jack Herbert's art is also a much needed upgrade for The Silencer — he has a sort of timeless quality that brings both Batman and Silencer to life in a clean style that's the opposite of the usual art in this series. -- Christian Hoffer Rating: 3 out of 5. Slide 3 of 8 Marvel #1 DAREDEVIL ANNUAL #1 The Daredevil Annual is a flashback story that recounts the first 'team-up' between Daredevil and a pre-cybernetic arm Misty Knight. Written by Erica Schultz, the issue has a fun retro feel, reminiscent of a 1970s cop movie but with superheroes instead. The story isn't anything special — Knight doesn't trusts superheroes until she sees one in action — but I liked that there was an actual reason for the mistrust and not just the usual hatred for vigilantes that we usually see in the story. The action sequences get a bit sloppy, but I largely enjoyed Marcio Takara's art.
