Dark Crisis as an event has been a bit hit and miss, both the main series and the various spin-offs. It has, though, maintained a respectable entertainment level overall, and of course the end game of all this has been to bring back the Multiverse. I’ve always been a Multiverse fan, growing up reading comics in the late 1970s/ early 1980s when the Jsa Earth-2 were two of my favourite things in comics (and still are). This book looks tailor-made for me, throw in the fact it’s written by Mark Waid and illustrated by Dan Jurgens and Norm Rapmund, classic DC creators all, and we should have a winner. Hopefully.

When Black Adam dropped its first trailer Wednesday, viewers saw Dwayne Johnson trade barbs with a team of heroes that may be unfamiliar to general audiences. That superhero team, the Justice Society, will rise to new levels of public consciousness when the film opens in October, and DC is hoping to capitalize on that high-profile debut.
Thus, DC is launching The Justice Society Files, a four-issue series debuting in July. The main cover will be from artist Kaare Andrews, and each issue will have a variant cover featuring the likeness of the four actors who make up the Justice Society — Hawkman (Aldis Hodge), Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell), Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo — though his face is obscured) and Dr. Fate (Pierce Brosnan).
Cavan Scott, known for his work on Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The High Republic initiative, penned the four-issue series and collaborated with a roster of artists.

I’ve written elsewhere that I seem to have reviewed a whole lot of these over-sized DC Special’s of late. Not a complaint, mind you, far from it. DC could have quite easily stuck out a load of old reprints and hastily cobbled together inventory stuff and put it out and a lot of people would probably have picked it up anyway. They went the other way though, and have curated a lot of nicely done tales, by a mixture of legendary creators and more recent fan favourites. The recent Flash 80 pager I reviewed was especially good. Scanning down the creator list on this Robin book, straight away names like Marv Wolfman, Devin Grayson, Tom Grummett, Dan Jurgens, and Chuck Dixon jump out. I like the fact DC try to get creators particularly associated with the different incarnations of Robin to recreate their magic.

Dead Man Logan #10 Writer: Ed Brisson | Artist: Mike Henderson | Colourist: Nolan Woodard | Letters: Cory Petit
After a couple of issues of scene setting for Logan’s return to The Wastelands we get an action heavy issue. This is a smart move by Brisson as it gets the metaphorical adrenaline pumping in reading terms. With only two issues left now you feel we are going to get a climatic conclusion and some emotional wrap up. After ten issues I think it is safe to say that for future re-reads this maxi series can stand on its own. It doesn’t need to rely on the success and nostalgia of Mark Millar’s original ‘Old Man Logan’ story. Across this series Brisson has stayed true to that but also added a lot of fresh new elements to give it its own feel. One of those elements set up last issues, pays off...

The Joker tackled his legacy in Batman Beyond #27. Now he's going after Bruce's.
Just in time for Batman Beyond (the show)'s 20th anniversary, Dan Jurgens brings back the ur-Batvillain, the Joker. To me, this is a great addition. My biggest problem with the show (which I still really enjoy) was how much stronger it was as a Spider-Man show than a Batman one.
I think we can all stipulate to that. New hero learning the ropes, having trouble balancing his normal life with his superhero one who really loves the superhero side, that's pretty much the classic Spider-Man archetype. Not that it was bad! There were some gems in the show - anything with the Royal Flush Gang or Shriek was guaranteed to be solid. But the tighter the show hewed to the Dcau as a whole - in anything with a throwback villain, or "The Call,...

DC Comics have of late been celebrating the 80th anniversary of both a flagship title, in Action Comics, and their flagship character, Superman. Both are, of course, fully worthy of such accolades. Action Comics has been continuously published since the dawn of the comic book industry, and without Superman there would possibly be no comic book industry. He was the spark that lit the flame. I have already reviewed DC’s 80 Years of Superman book, which was a love letter to every decade of Superman’s adventures, cherry picking some of the many high points from the 1930′s to the present day. It was very much a look back at Action Comics greatest hits, and a great reminder it was too. But what about the future?
