With the newest DC crossover event, Convergence, here, we thought it was a good time to look back at the premiere of the last giant DC crossover, Infinite Crisis. This team review of issue #1 first ran October...

Editor’s Note: In anticipation for the comeback of the Tangent Universe next month in DC’s Tangent: Superman’s Reign, Comics Bulletin had a chat with creators Dan Jurgens and Jamal Igle about the...

This time out I will be taking a look at the story of Holly and Harley. Let's see how it stacks up against some of the other stories! Week 47: Holly's story starts in week 47. We meet her as she is noticing...

So the holidays are officially over, unfortunately. That’s my favorite time of year, so it’s a bit of a downer when it’s all over and you see people and businesses slowly remove all the festive...

Granny Goodness. You can see for yourself the basics of her backstory in this issue, but here are a few tidbits might have been neglected. Granny enjoys using mind control and torture to augment her subjects....

As one might imagine, it’s been increasingly difficult to break down the new characters appearing each week, since there haven’t been that many. So, with the clever suggestion from my editor, I’m...

It’s the holiday season! That means, of course, that I was making merry last week and was nowhere near my comic shop. Therefore…I’m going to raise your salary! Oops…watching a bit too much Scrooge, I...

Superboy, I mean, Superman Prime. Anyone else befuddled by this guy’s constant change in appearance? He goes from boy to man, from long hair to short, from regular Superman tights to black and white...

Firestorm. Firestorm first appeared in 1978. That makes him 31, one year older than I am. Perhaps that’s why I miss Ronnie Raymond. So I’m going to tackle his history first and then move onto Jason....

Where to begin? Well, I’ll be covering a few topics from the last two issues since I was not able to write a breakdown column last week. We’re at the halfway point and get a nice recap from the writers...

Checkmate. Checkmate first appeared back in Action Comics #598 in 1988. At the time, I really only remember seeing the one agent and figuring it was just another throwaway idea that would never be used again....

I was first introduced to Forager in the Cosmic Odyssey storyline, of which I have discussed in a previous "Breakdown" column. Forager was teamed with Batman on Earth, so his standard red and white costume had...

Ah, yes. A nod back to my old love, the JLI/E. I am a JLI/E completist, and the Extremists were perhaps the best original villain groups created for the series. Even though they were knockoffs of Marvel...

Kneel before Zod! The cry rang out in 1981 and people loved it. Terrence Stamp indelibly etched his version of Zod into our minds, and every incarnation since has been some derivation thereof. Zod actually...

This story features a new evil team that bears a striking resemblance to a more familiar one, The Crime Syndicate. Yeah, yeah, I know in this issue it’s the Crime Society, but hey, I'll take any chance to...
