SYNOPSIS & REVIEW: Nightwing #90

Hey fellow superheroes! Like I said in my Robin & Batman  synopsis and review, I am a Batman girl through and through, and even more than that, I'm a massive fan of all of his sidekicks. Jason Todd is my favorite, but we don't have nearly enough content from him. So who's a close second? That would be the original Robin, Dick Grayson, who has taken on the mantle of Nightwing.  Tom Taylor is the most recent in a long string of Nightwing writers, and as much as I enjoy this run, it can be confusing at times. A lot of the recent storylines have come completely out of left field. Still,  Nightwing was the first comic series I started reading on my own, so it holds a special spot in my heart and my bookshelf. And Bruno Redondo has quickly become one of my favorite comic book artists! The current storyline is interesting, if a little hard to follow, and I've been eagerly awaiting each new issue. This month, it was Nightwing #90 . With that, heroes, let's get into it. ...

SYNOPSIS & REVIEW: Robin & Batman (2021)

Hey fellow superheroes! I'm the first person to admit that, despite the sheer number of Superman (both Clark and Jon) comics I own, I'm a Batman girl through and through.  Gritty drama paired with a man who truly wants to make Gotham a better city, both in his day job and  during his night life.  But I truly think Batman is at his best with a sidekick.  Robin not only provides a levity to Batman, but also a grounding. Send a guy looking for vengeance out on his own, he's not going to care what happens to him necessarily. Lots of Batmans (Batmen? sp.?) have that issue, most recently seen in Robert Pattinson's The Batman.  But Robin (whether it be Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, Tim Drake, Carrie Kelley, or any of the other numerous children he seems to have adopted on his journeys) always reminds him that it isn't about him. It's about Gotham, and Gotham's future for kids just like them. He sees these kids, often in situations just like his own (orphaned, angry, et...

Ava Reads DC!

 Hey fellow superheroes! If we're being perfectly honest, this blog is solely so I can stop flooding my friends and family's Facebook walls with my obscene amount of DC content. Now, instead, I can flood this blog with all of my shitty opinions! My name is Ava! I'm 19-years-old from Texas, and I'm a pretty new DC fan. Back in July of 2021, I was living just down the road from one of my dearest friends. Freshly 19, living alone for the first time; I was on top of the world. I wasn't really a superhero person, a comic book person, or even really a movie person! (I only saw The Shawshank Redemption for the first time, like, three months ago.) But when Richard Donner passed away, my buddy insisted we watch Superman in his honor. My friend had mentioned us starting a DC marathon, complete with Zack Snyder's Justice League , but I hadn't really taken it seriously. After all, it wasn't really something I was interested in in the first place. But Richard Donner ...
