Wait, no, don’t leave, hang on, it’s all right! While the idea of the old “Bwa-ha-ha” guy as a manipulative villain type who tried to overthrow a country for profit may seem, on its face, ridiculous, there’s more than meets the eye like Mirage hanging out with Hound.Once you get past that one weird bit[...]
It’ll read better and make more sense, because this issue is all about Mister Floyd Lawton, who does business under the name Deadshot, and the creative team does everything they possibly can to do right by him.[caption id="attachment_1243822" align="aligncenter" width="600"] The cover of Suicide Squad #7 Credit: DC Comics[/caption]Lawton has a full pardon for the[...]

I’m not gonna lie … it’s never ended well.”With a wonderful nostalgic twist from Wes Abbott, Bruno Redondo and Adriano Lucas turn in a fight scene that’s really, really good that leads to an epic time stalling one-on-one between Batman and Deadshot Just when it gets good, the interaction between the two characters gets even[...]

(DC Comics, creative team: Tom Taylor, Bruno Redondo, Adriano Lucas, Wes Abbott) There are surprises large and small in this very clever, very mean spirited issue.

It begins when Batman is concerned that the former villain will revert to his pre-Suicide Squad ways without the influence of Amanda Waller, but it turns out the reason Deadshot came to Gotham City was to seek out Batman's[...]
Most recently Viola Davis- why would Amanda Waller be back if this film isn't connected to the previous one?We digress.[caption id="attachment_939446" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Actor Idris ElbaPhoto by Denis Makarenko / Shutterstock.com[/caption]The newest bit of information comes from Variety, who now say Idris Elba, thought to be replacing Will Smith as Deadshot in the film, is not actually[...]

With some encouragement from Rich Johnston and Mark Seifert, I've decided to take a look back at comics I've reviewed from time to time to analyze some interesting themes that they may share or conflict upon. This past week's Superman #28 and Batman #28 both look at war in a way. They approach it in similar […]
