So comes the true end to King's Batman run. This was a interesting trip that didn't always pay off but I was atleast interested enough to finish it.

I guess that's not the best ring of endorsement but overall most of this 12 part mini was good just hardly ever great. The ending here is Bruce and Salina finally getting married while also closing up most plot points. It's still jumping around like crazy but at this point I was used to it. I also thought Clayman def gave some amazing art but that's a given.

A 3 out of 5.

Another decent volume.

First few issues are on DC Spotlight, which I assume were giving issues to side characters or C-Level heroes. This let Robin build up his character more while teaming up with Dick, which helped increase my likeness for Tim. Then we finally eventually get to his solo series written by Dixon. It's solid enough and fun but it feels little fluffy as does Dixon stuff sometimes. Art is solid throughout but sadly nothing remarkable.

Spoiler is bomb though.

Another dark and twisted book with plenty of fucked up situations and deaths.

The main focus is Beth and ORson but we also get some great moments with Nina, Rose, and even Kretchmeyer. From Beth plan to fuck everyone over after what happened to Nina and the love interest. To Monster showing his true feelings. Orson trying to be a decent boyfriend to a mostly horrible person. Rose's psycho ass. So much happens and the very last issue which gives huge focus to Kretchmeyer is GREAT. This is intense volume even if most of these characters we know their fate.

Weird says didn't review this when I swore I did. Either way it was a fun western, some nice twist with female characters getting revenge for wrong doings. The ending was a little abrupt and not as satisfying as I hoped but still intriguing none the less.

This was actually pretty fun.

Aya joins a all girls school that perfects girls. Makes them perfect citizens. A prep school basically. And one day she's passing by a classroom and sees Shirayui in there...the prettiest most girl-figure in the school. The most proper girl. Screaming at the top of her lungs that she just beat a noob in a video game and telling him to kiss her ass.

This begins the fun days of Aya and Shirayui as they challenge each other to a fighting game. The problem with this is that it's against the rules to have any video games in the school grounds. So they must hide their secret while getting close!

It's cute, it has Yuri moments, and the girls faces when they get their game on is pretty funny. Especially when they get pissed or riled up, some real good times. Overall, worth checking out if want something over the top and fun, with some cool fight scenes in the video games.

A really solid League story with excellent character moments.

After a big moment in the Justice League's time together they feel disbanded as of late. However, now, they must deliver Lobo's crazy ass to the right people and keep him safe. This story bounces back and forth between that and the past of what happened to John. It's a character piece really, helping intensify these characters and their emotions.

Resulting in a pretty fast paced and enjoyable storyline. I love chip's voice for Clark, Bruce, and Wonder Woman. He also made Wally loveable and funny as well as even gave me a loltastic Lobo. The last issue feels a little too "big" in the sense of trying too much at once but overall it's very enjoyable story till then.

Listen, Todd isn't the best writer but hell...if look at the pictures it's not too bad.

Joking, this is pretty fun volume. It's basically Spawn having enough of this bullshit of his wife stuck in hell, goes down there, and says to the devil you better back the fuck up off my wife or I'ma kill you. And then they fight. This whole volume is just one big fight really. If you ignore the dialogue, it's not too bad.

But yeah it's fun and dumb, ripped straight out of the 90's. Atleast the action is a blast to view. A 3 out 5.

So Captain Atom is assigned a new mission...move Justice League to Europe. In which case he has a very...fun group of people with him.

In comes Power Girl, Flash, Rocket Red, good old Animal Man, and who can forget the husband and wife Elongated man and Sue! This is a wild group of people, none really close, but all working together to stop bad guys. This first volume consist of a Nazi showing up on their doorstep dead, finding out why that is, and ending with them trying to take French as a class to be able to speak to people there.

It's still wacky as the original International series yet a bit more serious in tone at times. A more balanced version I'd say. However, I really enjoyed it. I didn't laugh as much though the stuff with Wally and Kara was gold. I also enjoyed the villain plot here and Queen Bee was a fun addition.

A easy 4 out of 5.

Really great art, weird as fuck, and the dialogue is solid. But the story itself is a bit too weird, bit too "What is happening" without too many answers. Creepy though and some great visuals. A 3 out of 5.

Another great adventure with Ethan as he just wants to live his life watching movies at his theater.

But then he meets a girl.

And tries to find her missing sister. Going deep into the seedy underbelly of the criminal world of filming. We're talking about a cult here people. And it only gets darker every path Ethan takes. Every single time he gains a new clue or a new path towards the truth it gets worse till eventually we involve skinheads.

And fuck skinheads.

Fast paced, yet respectable to the slowburn feel of detective work. Excellent art as always. The only negative maybe is how fast it wrapped up. But overall, I read this in one sitting and really enjoyed it.
