A short fun story with Dick Grayson and him trying to solve a crime with the help of Batman and Superman back in the day. Nothing great, but nice throwback to superhero comics in 60's and 70s.

A fun issue. Flash is lighthearted, and amongst my darker stories this is a nice read. Watching Wally and "Ace" team up is fun as heck, two flashes are better than one. While Wally is a bit TOO goofy at times he's still enjoyable. I liked how they stopped the villain and I liked seeing the Linda story move forward.

A solid issue though felt like padded to probably not get ahead of the Dark Crisis event too much. This time the group must split up to find Barry. But before doing so the kids might do something dumb. It's goofy plot but the interesting point is getting to see different barry's. I wonder how this will all end.

This is basically the movie in comic form. Luckily I enjoy the movie and it's absurdity. The lead just tired of this shit, big predator fucking up gangleaders. All good stuff. But it is dumb with a okay ending. Art solid enjoy. One amazing kill with a spine getting ripped out.

A fun story once more. This one more of a hunter becomes hunted but turns the tables. The best part about this one is the predator being smart and going after not just one person but an entire army. Brutal kills, a sick ending, and a brisk paced. Super fun.

A decent comic that looks into more of a real life type batman but with shady backgrounds.

I did like the pacing and detective angle, that part worked well enough. Some really cool reveals and this book didn't shy away from being brutal at times. The overall plot though was extremely predictable, especially if you ever read a single Batman comic. And I expected more dark humor and never got it.

A 3 out of 5.

Joker ends on a bit of a weaker note but still solid.

Basically we get everything tied up. Who's behind this all is revealed and it's not that hard to guess. But just because we find out who it is, doesn't mean the final actions can't count for something. As Jim talks to Bruce about what happened, revealing what happened to the JOker, we get some pretty cool "oh snap" moments.

But overall it felt like the story wrapped up too quick. That we had more to tell but we never got it, and that's a shame. But I still enjoyed it and landed on a 3.5 to end it.

Cold War is anything but a cold war as Predators attack the Russians.

But a story simple enough, Predators in a ice cold area attacking Russians would be awesome but instead we get Dutch's good old brother back, this time with more quips than a average MCU movie character. Not too sure why we needed him here, but here he comes. As Macho as ever. But he doesn't do much. It's actually the new character introduced who's most interesting, a Russian Military woman having to deal with these damn Predators.

The Kills are excellent, some really brutal ones, but the plot is all over the place and I was wondering if Verheiden always starts off more grounded and then just goes insane last two issues. I'm seeing a trend now.

A 3 out of 5.

This was a decent vamp story.

I enjoyed the idea of having a vampire who made a bunch of vampires and then has to kill them because the big bads will kill him if he doesn't. So got this urgency that creates some really fun moments but the characters...they're just not clicking with me. The main one is fun enough with his sidekick, but the rest? I can't even tell you their names that's how much of a blur they became after leaving the pages.

But yeah it's decent, art is good, and it's a fun book for vampire fans.

Ends the second major arc for X-Men. Nice reveal and such but the rest was just decent. This series remains decent but never great.
