Justice League Incarnate #2 Review - Weird Science DC Comics

Tear in Heaven

Writer: Dennis Culver, Joshua Williamson
Artist: Andrei Bressan
Cover Price: $4.99
Release Date: December 21, 2021


I liked the first issue of Justice League Incarnate because it felt big, but it was also a lot of fun. Unfortunately, lately, these big stories have been nothing but grim city, and I am tired of that.  However, I hope this Joshua Williamson irons out a bit of the new Infinite Frontier while having fun with the entire Multiverse. So, let's jump into our review of Justice League Incarnate #2...

Release Date: December 21, 2021

Nightwing #87 finally gets us out of Fear State, and while Tom Taylor was doing his best with the crumbs from a nothing story, Bruno Redondo was working hard to get this issue ready.  A continuous-art issue with Haley the Dog in trouble?!?  Let's see if it's any good...

Face/Off

Writer: Ram V
Artist: Caspar Wijngaard
Cover Price: $3.99
Release Date: December 21, 2021

Catwoman #38 is the final issue of Ram V's time writing Catwoman, and while it hasn't been the longest run, these bunch of issues and the ones he filled in for Joelle Jones had more good than bad in them.  Looking back, though, I remember characters and moments more than actual stories.  The whole thing had a bit of a herky-jerky feel, and I'm not sure I will ever return to it, but again, I didn't hate it.  That may not sound like glowing praise, but I am not here to fake the funk. So let's get to the Catwoman #38 review...

Batman/Catwoman #9 Review





Christmas Is Ruined

Written By: Tom King
Art By: Liam Sharp, Clayton Cowles
Cover Price: $4.99
Release Date: December 21, 2021


It's time for our next chapter of this strange Bat/Cat saga that is giving us three timelines to play with where previously we saw The Joker singing some Christmas songs while Catwoman was pissed at Batman, in the present, we had revealed that the Phantasm's dead son was just some kid that she kidnapped fourteen years ago and in the future, Catwoman escaped police custody for the murder of the Joker. While at least some of that feels like it may have been something, in reality, all we got was a revelation out of nowhere and the idea that Tom King plans on ruining the introduction of The Phantasm into the comic's continuity. Let's jump into this issue and see if things work out somehow.
