Outsiders #11 review

What if you threw a Crisis and nobody came? That pretty much sums up the final issue of Outsiders, one of the most brazenly confusing comics I’ve ever read. I never covered the last issue because it was also a headscratcher, one I gave the benefit of the doubt. Surely the double-sized final issue would […]

Outsiders #8 review

Now this was a surprise. A team-up between Batwoman and Jinny Hex, with no other Outsider in sight. If you don’t know Jinny Hex, she’s a descendant of classic DC Western hero Jonah Hex and a member of the last version of Young Justice. She inherited a trunk of weird weapons. And one in particular […]

Outsiders #6 review

When this series was announced, ‘Outsiders’ seemed a bit of a random title, a nod to a well-liked comic series to get people to try it.

Batwoman is intrigued, but the no-superhero bit doesn’t last long – Luke has a Bat-snowsuit to hand as […]

The Batman and Scooby-Doo! Mysteries #5 review

There’s not a lot of Batman in this issue. There’s more Scooby-Doo and friends, but there’s no denying the star of ‘Rat’s All Folks’ is Batwoman. It’s a refreshing change to have another Batman Family member team up with Mystery Inc, as Batman tackles an off-panel alien invasion with the Justice League. So what’s the […]

Batwoman/Supergirl: World’s Finest #2

It’s Kara Danvers’ last day as an intern at CatCo International and boss Cat Grant is giving her feedback. And it’s not good. But it is ironic. Kara knows that as far as Cat is concerned, she’s correct – she’s a great superhero, but a terrible assistant. In bits, Kara flies from National City to […]
