Thank goodness for this Omega issue! Coming out of Batman # 117, I was left feeling like I was missing a lot of information. Its sudden ending left a lot up in the air. While it wasn’t anything pressing, to end a run without any form of epilogue left me feeling shorted. Tynion ended his event with an explosive finale, but no follow up on t ..read more

Robins #1
Writer: Tim Seeley
Artist: Baldemar Rivas
Colorist: Romulo Fajardo Jr.
Letterer: Steve Wands
Reviewer: KrisK
Batman goes through an impressive number of Robins. Especially since New 52 shrank the timespan by about a decade. Damian marked Robin #5 by Batman’s sixth year fighting crime. Add in the time Batman accumulated pre and between Robins, and most Robins don’t make it a year. (Stephanie only lasted a few weeks.)
The Robins may be the most divisive corner of Gotham, too. (Damian is the best at being a sidekick Robin, deal with it.) Most of the preference roots in the era the read ..read more

Review by Chris Ceary
Content warnings/trigger warnings: Violence
Dick Grayson was the first child to pick up the mantel of Robin, and because of that, he was the one who defined what being a Robin means. Lemire and Nguyen take us back to those defining moments in Robin & Batman #1. They explore the origins of the costume, the rocky start to vigilante training, and the even rockier s ..read more

The Thing #1
Writer: Walter Mosley
Artist: Tom Reilly
Color Artist: Jordie Bellaire
Letterer: VC’s Joe Sabino
Reviewer: KrisK
The Thing, aka Ben Grimm, tops most Marvel fan’s Favorite lists. The ever-lovin’ blue eyed Fantastic Four member’s gruff, blue-collar demeanor belies a Master’s Degree in Chemistry, Mechanical Engineering, and Aviation. He calls it as he sees it, gets mad too often, and always protects the little guy. His mutation scarred him, unlike the other FF members, leaving him isolated from human connection most of the time. Ben’s rocky exterior separates him physically and soci ..read more
