If you've been reading Archie comics since the relaunch a few years back, you're well aware that the publisher's patented brand of comedy has been retained, but they aren't afraid to go in more dramatic directions that have no doubt influenced the currently ongoing CW series, Riverdale. In addition to those elements, be prepared for your once innocent comics to be given a heavy dose of reality this spring when a major character apparently meets their demise.
Having already read Teen Titans #6, I can say with confidence that it'll not only satisfy fans of DC's premier adolescent superhero team, but also those who adore the animated series Young Justice. And it's not just due to the fact that the book is fun and has that strong sense of family that many find to be crucial to the series, it's the introduction of Aqualad that will likely turn many heads as well.
For the past few years, one of the biggest mysteries plaguing the Marvel Universe was what were the words Nick Fury whispered into Thor’s ear in order to make the Asgardian warrior unworthy of Mjolnir, effectively making him drop his trusted hammer right then and there, never to pick it up again. In the time since, he’s gone by simply “Odinson” (we’re glad he chose that over The Artist Formerly Known as Thor) and Jane Foster has taken up the mantle of Thor in his stead.
Alright, we all knew that the “Superman Reborn” crossover event was going to be a game changer, but despite bracing ourselves as best we could, we weren’t prepared to absorb the shock that came with the conclusion to be found within the pages of Action Comics #976.
Although we haven’t been seeing as much of Nick Fury as of late on the big screen, it’s undeniable that Samuel L. Jackson can largely be credited for allowing the character to attain the mainstream prominence he’s been enjoying for the past nine years.
If Savage Things teaches us anything, it's that if you kill someone's parents and enroll them in a government program with the intention of conditioning them into being a world class assassin, your actions may come to haunt you, no matter how sociopathic that subject may be.
I'm secure in saying that I'm probably not the only one who feels like the wait between DC animated movies feels like an eternity, even if they're only mere months apart. With but a few weeks to go until the release of Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, the folks at DC All Access have thankfully tided us over with a new clip and other goodies.
With the musical crossover involving Supergirl and The Flash airing tonight, it’s understandable that the network dropped a promo for that upon the conclusion of the Girl of Steel’s latest adventure last night. Still, it felt kind of weird not seeing a trailer for next week’s episode, especially when you factor in the knowledge that it’s directed by none other than Kevin Smith. Fortunately, we have you covered.
In the past week, there’s been much discussion surrounding Batman titles and understandably so. With major story arcs wrapping up in the near future and “The War of Jokes and Riddles” kicking off in June, there will no doubt be much riveting reading material for Dark Knight devotees to consume in the coming months.
Yesterday, DC took us all by surprise by announcing two one-shots set to be published under the title of Dark Days, the first of which will ship in June. Co-written by Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV, with art by John Romita Jr., Jim Lee and Andy Kubert, it’ll no doubt demand the attention of not just Batfans, but those of DC as a whole.
