From romance and wrong-doings to retcons and reboots, Selina Kyle has done it all. But how well do we truly know this thrill-seeking heroine?
You know that movie, The Santa Clause? Where ostensibly, anyone who murders Santa gets to take up his mantle? What if popular comicbook characters pushed Santa off the colloquial roof? What if they became Santa for the night?
Passive comic fans will find Cloaked to be a refreshing take on Batman. Comic fans with a pull list might find it too familiar.
This week we talk Shang-Chi, Batman, the latest comedy on Hulu, Jeff Lemire’s mastery of writing, and, of course, comics.
This week we discuss that Jim Lee interview, all those SubStack defections, The Suicide Squad, and, of course, comics.
This last volume of Ostrander’s Suicide Squad collects issues #59-#66. Between Superman breathing down their necks and a trek through a nightmarish jungle, the stakes are appropriately high for the Squad.
Zack Snyder’s Justice League is a huge improvement. If you dislike the filmmaker, this probably won’t change your mind.
With 18 issues left, the end is just on the horizon. Volume six functions as a bit of a soft reboot, reformatting the Squad into a freelance, mercenary team-for-hire. But everything else I’ve come to love about Suicide Squad remains the same: Concise, tightly-plotted political thrillers with fun character moments.
