I’m not going to say too much right here about the DC Comics Spring 2027 trade paperback and hardcover catalog solicitations, given we’re about a week already from when it was released and there’s almost 200 books here! I have some thoughts…
Absolute Wonder Woman Vol. 2: As My Mothers Made Me is another fine entry in this award-winning series from Kelly Thompson and Hayden Sherman. As with Absolute Batman Vol. 2: Abomination, my main concern is simply that there’s so much, so f…
Dan Watters' Nightwing run is turning out to be so unusual, such a mishmash of genres and approaches, I’m not quite sure if it’s good yet because I’m still trying to figure out what it is. Here’s one where I’d be interested to read the seri…
Sometimes horror isn’t mushroom spores sprouting from every inch of a human body. Sometimes horror is seven issues of dread, the slow disclosure of a betrayal, a secret threatening to be revealed and the consequences growing worse each time…
Matt Fraction’s Batman Vol. 1: Daylight is funny and weird and so, so cool. I’m not sure it always held together issue to issue, but then again a lot of the time I wasn’t even looking at Fraction’s writing, but rather Jorge Jiménez’s art. S…
With the DC Comics October 2026 trade paperback and hardcover solicitations, we’re about at the end of the books listed in DC’s fall 2026 catalog. Shouldn’t be more than a few weeks, and then we’ll have a whole new list of books to look for…

Though Batman and Robin Vol. 2: The Gotham Cycle is the second of Phillip Kennedy Johnson’s three volumes on the title, it brings to a close the story he began with the first volume, Memento, and feels definitively conclusive. It’s just a g…
With Star Trek Vol. 5: When the Walls Fell, it seems writers Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzig are getting a little punchy. It’s the final collection essentially, just short of the Star Trek: Lore War crossover and finale, and maybe that’s th…
[Guest reviewer Zach King writes about movies at The Cinema King and about comics on Instagram at Dr. King’s Comics.] When I reviewed the fourth volume of The Batman Adventures, I closed by sharing a conversation I had with Kevin Conroy, in…
Tom King’s Wonder Woman Vol. 4: The Island of Mice and Men is a seven-part epic among a nine-issue collection, yet another masterpiece from King. Knowing that King has his fans but also his detractors,1 I wonder if that word “masterpiece” s…
Almost at the end, it seems certain Christopher Cantwell’s Star Trek: Defiant never found its direction. After a single promising volume of the rogue Defiant crew on the run, they’ve proceeded to complete just one mundane mission for Starfl…
