HBO Max’s Harley Quinn: Seasons 1 & 2 – A Few Thoughts
I subscribed to HBO Max because I am DC Comics for life and I could not resist the Zack Snyder Justice League Director’s Cut. Okay. There, I said it. However, there have been some very welcome surprises since subscribing to HBO Max, and Harley Quinn is very much among them. Let me explain. DC Comics…

HBO Max’s Doom Patrol: Season 2 – A Few Thoughts
Doom Patrol is a show based on the DC Comics title. During it’s first season, it aired on DC Universe, a streaming service. However, because HBO and DC both fall under the Warner Brothers umbrella, this second season of Doom Patrol appeared on HBO Max. (Conventional wisdom says DC Universe is going to be folded…

Titans: The Complete First Season – A Review

All-Star Batman and Robin, the Boy Wonder: Volume I – A Graphic Novel Review
This book is absolutely insane, and I loved it! What we have here is a Batman story free of any previous or current continuity.

Justice Society of America: Thy Kingdom Come (Part I) – A Graphic Novel Review
I’ve always enjoyed JSA, mostly because Geoff Johns has made a point to keep one foot in the past with the title while keeping the other foot firmly planted in the future. With the Justice Society of America re-launch, the team has a new mission statement of making sure the world has better heroes, and…

Justice, Volume I – A Graphic Novel Review
Justice: Volume I is a good start to what seems to be an interesting story. The artwork is captivating and the writing is adequate enough to keep me looking forward to the conclusion. This story line is not contingent upon the current DC Universe continuity, so we have a lot of heroes in their Silver…
