Bleeding Cool previously reported that CBR chose not to ask Harley Quinn writer Sam Humphries about the absence of Poison Ivy in the Harley Quinn comic since he took over writing the title Especially with her currently-expressed crush on Booster Gold But when Humphries was doing a Live Video Chat, that seemed to be what[...]

Yesyerday, I looked at an interview that Sam Humphries gave to DC Comics media partner CBR about yesterday's new issue of Harley Quinn, which featured quite a getting-to-know-you between Harley and Booster With Humphries saying he was inspired to bring them closer together after what he detected as a frisson in the Heroes In[...]

But some of us get to take out hot takes and make it into a comic book with Booster Gold in them. Was Heroes In Crisis About Harley Quinn Falling For Booster Gold? Art from CBR. Such as Sam Humphries and the current Harley Quinn series he is writing, that has just seen Booster Gold start guesting[...]

If there's one thing we could say is wrong with comics today, it's probably that there isn't enough celebration of Sam Humphries That's all set to change this week with the release of Humphries and artist Alti Firmansyah's Goliath Girls #2, debuting on comiXology and Amazon prime in English and Japanese on Wednesday In addition[...]

Words and photos courtesy of Bleeding Cool's Mike Sangregorio: Saturday saw the DC World's Finest Panel, moderated by one of the DC All Access hosts and featuring creators Liam Sharpe, Marc Andreyko, Dan Jurgens, Sam Humphries, Robert Venditti, Tom Taylor, Tim Seeley, and Mitch Gerads as panelists. The panel began by congratulating Gerads on his Eisner win the[...]

Nightwing finally comes face-to-face with the Judge. This is the final showdown. Can Nightwing bring the villain down? Is it a good read?

Nightwing narrowly escapes the Judge's attempt to drown him, and, after locating his headquarters, Dick Grayson launches an all-out assault against the villain. Is it a good read?

The artists put in some great work, and Sam Humphries keeps the Judge creepy and compelling despite the backstory This one gets a recommendation Check it out. [rwp-review-ratings id="0"] [rwp-review-form id="0"] [rwp-review-recap id="0"] Nightwing has been taken by the Judge As the Judge chides Nightwing for his continued failures in apprehending him, we are shown the second encounter between[...]

Sam Humphries has made a genuinely unnerving villain with the Judge, and it's really coalescing as "The Untouchable" moves onwards It will also make it all the more satisfying when Nightwing beats the tar out of this guy. Nightwing #38 art by Bernard Chang and Marcelo Maiolo Bernard Chang's artwork continues to create a sleek and high-tech[...]

She's brash but level-headed, and she has a cool aesthetic that is oddly reminiscent of Sportsmaster but more colorful. Sam Humphries manages to recreate some of the classic dialogue without overdoing it and bringing back the cheesiness. The Judge is continuing to shape up into an intriguing rogue for Nightwing Hopefully this trend will continue, and we'll[...]

Marcelo Maiolo plays off Chang's style very well with his color art, and the two make for a great-looking book. Nightwing #36 has returned my confidence in Sam Humphries' future with the Dick Grayson The comic was paced well, the Judge is turning out to be a great villain, and the seeming heartlessness of last issue[...]

However, there is this weird thing where no one issue is so good as to go up higher on this list (there are other series I adore that missed these lists for the same reason). Green Lanterns managed to make it primarily for this issue, Green Lanterns #29 by Sam Humphries and Eduardo Pansica. Green Lanterns #28 Cover by Brad[...]

Feelings change over time, and some books that got an 8.5 may go higher than a 9.0 on the list. And now, let us kick off the DC list with Batman: The Dawnbreaker #1 by Sam Humphries and Ethan van Sciver. Batman: the Dawnbreaker #1 Cover by Jason Fabok and Brad Anderson This was one of the Dark Nights: Metal Nightmare Batmen tie-ins and the[...]

It's Nightwing, and it's Sam Humphries, so I'm still reviewing it. Actually, the fact that it's Nightwing and Humphries is what's so odd about this one. This comic is oddly mean-spirited The woman in the beginning is drawn extra fat and disgusting There is the pitiable Guppy character, for whom Dick has very little sympathy[...]

Plus, the emotional catharsis of the showdown between Simon and Nazir wraps up a subplot that has been running in the background for a few issues now. Sam Humphries wrote a very charming book here, and I adored it. Scott Godlewski's art work is a bit more cartoonish than the art of much of the series, but,[...]

It takes a lot for me to become interested in Batman stories, and these books accomplish it against the odds. Dawnbreaker earns a recommendation.

Green Lanterns #31 brings about the ending to the 'Out of Time' arc, wherein Jessica and Simon were sent back in time by Volthoom in the present.

Sam Humphries and Bernard Chang will take over Nightwing in December. Tim Seeley may have believed he had gotten the better of Sam Humphries when it was announced he was taking over Green Lanterns from the writer, but it's Humphries that has gotten the last laugh Humphries will take over Nightwing, ending Seeley's long run on[...]

Sam Humphries did a really good job of giving interesting and compelling backstories to the original seven Green Lanterns They were given distinct and engaging personalities, and seeing them gunned down in droves here feels kind of like a waste It would have been nice to see them develop and change over time or at[...]

In its defense, Sam Humphries has made that a high standard to have to follow You do get tidbits of each of the six that keep them interesting, and seeing Jessica go drill sergeant is pretty damn cool However, this feels like sort of a predetermined plot beat, and it doesn't go too far out[...]

This one was done by Sam Humphries, Steve Rude, and John Kalisz. Rude and Kalisz stray a bit more from the Kirby aesthetic with this story, but the art still has a classical feel They play with shadows well, and it gives a gothic atmosphere which matches Jason and Etrigan perfectly. The Kirby Grabbers this time include[...]

They're slinging Green Rings that can make anything, so more than a few things are different here. Jessica's Ring picks up a White Light life sign, which was actually a giveaway to me since I read Blackest Night (I can't believe Blackest Night was almost ten years ago) and it was revealed in that story that that[...]

Rami and Volthoom are interesting characters, and writer Sam Humphries has done a lot to get the audience to want to learn more about these two characters. The reader is made to care about their relationship, even if you do know how it must end The investigation into the First Ring is at the center of[...]

[rwp-review-recap id="0"] While I did say that Titans is the quintessential Rebirth title, Sam Humphries' Green Lanterns is definitely my favorite. This is a fantastic buddy cop title that uses the tropes of that sub-genre to its advantages and subverts them when it should The pairing of Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz could easily go down in[...]

Meanwhile, Simon still has to survive his training, and the Volthoom-possessed Rami continues his search for the means to recreate his universe-hopping Travel Lantern. Green Lanterns under Sam Humphries has been a fun, lighthearted yet emotionally hefty comic, dealing with death, fear, self-doubt, and lifelong disappointments while managing to maintain an upbeat spirit overall That is[...]

This week brings the release of Jonesy #6, from BOOM! Box written by Sam Humphries, with art by Caitlin Rose Boyle This is the start of the new ARC and I couldn't wait to dive in. Superstar "Stuff" is in town and the thought of being next to him goes straight to Jonesy's head. [WARNING: SPOILERS FOR JONESY BELOW!] It's an interesting thing to think about[...]

With the release of Green Lantern Rebirth, Sam Humphries sat down with DC All-Access' Tiffany Smith to talk about the new issue He tells us its a good jumping on point for new readers as both Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz are rookies and the readers will be learning about things as the two heroes[...]
