The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing #7 Review

    

Writer: Matthew Rosenberg, Ryan Cady
Artist: Carmine Di Guandomenico, Will Robson
Cover Price: $5.99
Release Date: April 4, 2023

We are seven issues into this series, and Mathew Rosenberg seems intent on TRYING to be funny rather than giving readers an engaging story.  I guess he thinks that people will keep returning for his lame humor and ham-fisted satire, but the only reason most are coming back each month is that this is a Joker book.  A horribly written Joker book, but still a Joker book.  So, let's find out if Rosenberg can get out of his damn way and make things a little bit more interesting this month...

Action Comics #1053 Review

 

   

Writer: Philip Kennedy Johnson, Dan Jurgens & Leah Williams

Artist: Rafael Sandoval, Lee Weeks, Marguerite Sauvage

Cover Price: $4.99

Release Date: March 29, 2023

While Action Comics has been solid since Phillip Kennedy Johnson took over, his Warworld Saga could have sold better.  Thankfully, DC didn't get a new creative team but turned the book into an anthology comic book with three stories.  But are all three stories good?  Let's find out...

Blue Beetle: Graduation Day #5 Review

 

  

Writer: Josh Trujillo

Artist: Adrian Gutierrez

Cover Price: $3.99

Release Date: March 28, 2023

I have been torn about this Blue Beetle book since it started.  While it's been fun sometimes, I hoped it would show new readers just how cool Blue Beetle can be.  Yet, from the start, Josh Trujillo has done what many writers keep doing with Jaimie Reyes - Handicapping him.  He hasn't been able to communicate with the Scarab, Batman, and Superman sidelined him (though he hasn't entirely listened to that one), and he's in a new city away from his friends.  These are all head-scratchers, but the oddest decision is not to focus enough on Jaimie.  So while Trujillo is doing his best to introduce new concepts that could expand the Blue Beetle mythos, he might be missing the forest for the trees here.  So let's jump into this...
