Harley Quinn #71 has an interesting premise, as revealed in DC's full March solicitations. The book sees Harley and Booster Gold team up to try to solve a murder mystery. Maybe the detective skills she picks up from being Batman's new sidekick will be of help? In any case, this team-up feels a little familiar, […]
Just as Bleeding Cool promised, DC Comics seems to be setting up the Dan DiDio and Kenneth Rocafort-created character Tempus Fuginaut, originally seen as a bit of a Galactus figure, as DC's equivalent of Marvel's Watcher instead. And in the Tales Of The Dark Dimension Knightfall and Flash Forward, both out today, we learn of […]
We're used to the likes of Al Ewing, Mark Waid or Geoff Johns as the kind of people who rewrite the storytelling rules of shared universe continuity, trying to make sense of it in as graceful a way as possible, rewriting some kind of meta-consciousness into the plot that enables it to comment on itself […]
So. Heroes In Crisis #9. Wally West's dead body, that we saw draped over the dead body of Roy Harper in Heroes In Crisis #1 was, it seems, placed there by his future self after killing an even more future version of himself, and then living those five days until he became his even more […]
Heroes in Crisis #9 is in the books, all of the mysteries have been revealed, and the characters have come to their planned endings in the story. But was it always meant to be these characters? Well… as it turns out, Tom King recently gave readers a glimpse into how he makes his sauce, and […]
Heroes In Crisis #9 by Tom King and Clay Mann is published today. We published a review of the issue – and the series as a whole – here. We looked at what this may mean for Poison Ivy here. How the Wally West solution felt a little familiar, here. And how the Doctor Magnus […]
Four comic books are published by DC Comics tomorrow that, any other week, would be the best-selling comic of the week. None of them are Batman. And each represent one of the main four power houses, currently at work within DC Comics, at war with each other, divided against each other, trying to get the […]
No more delays. No more rescheduling. It's actually happening.

Two more covers for Heroes In Crisis…replacing a certain prone Poison Ivy as well. Heroes In Crisis #6 cover by Mitch Gerads. Featuring a partially masked Harley Quinn-as-Saturn Girl. The Legionnaire has been popping up in DC Rebirth and Doomsday Clock-related titles in the last two-and-a-bit years. So why is Harley cosplaying as her? And […]
Superstar writer and alleged former CIA operative Tom King is always teasing hot new art coming up in his DC Comics series on Twitter, but you won't believe whose art King is pimping for a variant cover on Heroes in Crisis #9. Okay, maybe you will believe it, since we already spoiled it in the […]
Earlier today, Bleeding Cool revealed the cover for Heroes in Crisis #7, which featured the corpse of Poison Ivy, who died while writing what appeared to be the Flash symbol in her own blood.
