Review: The Movement #1
Now that DC is done with the “wave release” format (finally), we have books starting to come out when they are good and ready.

Review: Action Comics #19

The Neglected Nemeses: Deathstroke
One of the first names that pops up when asked which DC villain needs to be features in a film is Deathstroke, the rogue who has been one of the most popular for the Teen Titans. However, this assassin has also been on the side of “good” when needed. Many will tell you that he is the DC version of Deadpool, or vice-versa, and it is hard to dispute the similarities. In the long run, I think that Deathstroke is a baddie that should be taken a bit more seriously than his Marvel counterpart, as he is a man that has a purpose and nothing will get in his way.

Review: Swamp Thing #18
