After a run of reviewing giant-sized graphic novels, this month's Double Take finds @oliversava.bsky.social and @davidharper.bsky.social taking on DC and Marvel's four crossover comics this year, as they discuss the merits of each and share wishlists for future crossovers they'd like to see.

Firmly in the “PLURIBUS is a comedy” camp after the last episode. The garbage drone sequence had such impeccable timing and physical comedy.

The return of @hotelfred.bsky.social to THE MUPPETS for a noir parody is the best news. Hope this means his previous MUPPETS comics come back into print.

Oh, hello! Looks like this has been officially announced at last!

I love chatting with @davidharper.bsky.social about a new comic every month! Really happy with the range of titles we’ve covered. It took me a while to get into LAND but once it hooked me it got me good.

Binging DEATH BY LIGHTNING put me in the right headspace to finally watch REDS and what an incredible film. Had no idea abt the documentary element, which is so well done and adds lots of valuable context. Keaton’s performance is unreal. Fiery, tender, vulnerable — she owns the movie.

Loving DEATH BY LIGHTNING but still fuming that Netflix cancelled GLOW

My November comics preview is up at @avclub.com! Picks include: 💞 HARLEY AND IVY: LIFE AND CRIMES @dc.com 🍌 BANANA SIOULE @magneticpress.bsky.social 🇺🇸 AMERICAN CAPER @darkhorse.com 👊 COLOSSAL KAYA @imagecomics.com 🎨 SLICES OF LIFE @bulgilhanpress.com www.avclub.com/comics-previ...

As if I wasn’t already crazy excited for @ericafails.bsky.social’s HARLEY AND IVY mini, she goes and drops this irresistible tease.

Oh hell yes Javier Pulido is back and he's drawing Ultimate Daredevil. Pulido + Camp = 😍 aiptcomics.com/2025/10/21/e...

Reading DO ADMIT! and chatting with @davidharper.bsky.social about it was such a wonderful experience. I came in already loving Mimi Pond’s previous graphic novels and this amplified my admiration tenfold. So much story told with so much visual invention. @dandq.bsky.social

You can pick up a collection of Nick Dragotta shorts or an updated Norwegian fairy tale this October

It was a great September on Off Panel, so I wanted to recap the podcasts that ran during that month for those that missed it. Comics critic @oliversava.bsky.social joined the show for the eighth annual Superhero State of the Union, as we talked about where DC, Marvel, and others are right now.

I’m thrilled to be part of the outstanding line-up of writers @explodingarrow.bsky.social has assembled for The Comics Courier issue 3. I’m writing about 1995’s VIGILANTE: CITY LIGHTS, PRAIRIE JUSTICE by James Robinson and Tony Salmons, a mini I found for 99 cents at a resale shop.

'Our Soot Stained Heart' #1 coming in December! Co-written by Joni Hagg and yours truly. Colored by Ropemann, lettered by Hass.

DEADPOOL/BATMAN is not very good. Main story is the most basic version of this team-up, back-ups are fine to bad. Plus side: I was able to get a DWJ Thing vs. Barda cover.

Despite starting slow, I’ve grown to really appreciate what the ABSOLUTE GREEN LANTERN team is doing. Rereading the first arc was very rewarding.

Of all the Absolute DC titles, it can feel like Absolute Green Lantern is the one that no one can agree on. Unless you're @oliversava.bsky.social and @davidharper.bsky.social. After a barnburner of an arc ender, that duo looks at the series so far in Double Take and what makes it pop for them.

Absolute Martian Manhunter is a one-of-a-kind comic, and today, I talked with one of the big reasons why: its artist, @javierrodriguez.bsky.social. We talked about his evolution, the collaboration on AMM, the importance of its colors, and more as we discuss varying pages from the series.

Very excited to be contributing a review to the next Comics Courier! A totally random comic I picked up at a resale shop for 99 cents this summer!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, as my pal @oliversava.bsky.social returns for our annual Superhero State of the Union on Off Panel where we dive deep into where DC, Marvel, and other assorted superhero comics are right now. It’s a spicy one! Listen up!

This week on Off Panel, it's the eighth annual Superhero State of the Union on the podcast, as comics critic @oliversava.bsky.social returns to the show to talk about a high time for DC, something else entirely for Marvel, and how we're feeling about superhero comics overall.

Had the amazing opportunity to speak to the PEACEMAKER choreographer, Charissa Barton, for @vulture.com and explore the changes in season 2’s opening. James Gunn was the Eagly stand-in on set! www.vulture.com/article/peac...

Hey! @oliversava.bsky.social and I are going to regularly be talking about comics on SKTCHD, and it all starts with us riffing on the return of LAZARUS and whether it can still reach its enormously high ceiling in LAZARUS: FALLEN. (Spoilers: It can)

Really excited to talk comics with @davidharper.bsky.social on a regular basis over at @sktchd.bsky.social! We start w/ LAZARUS, a book that transformed a lot in 12 years and has come back stronger than ever.

Loving MY LITTLE WARLORD on DCU Infinite, easily my favorite webcomic from the Big Two. Nina Gee’s script does a great job highlighting the survival element, @soundofm0ss.bsky.social and Chi Ngo’s art is super charming and full of personality. Free to read! www.dcuniverseinfinite.com/comics/serie...

Starting today, you can go out and buy DC: THE NEW FRONTIER for $10. What a world.

HOLY SHIT A THIRD SEASON OF THE COMEBACK IN 2026 www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnUZ...

Saw THUNDERBOLTS* last night and had a good time! Some quibbles — clumsy exposition, adherence to MCU house style of humor, half-baked mental health stuff — but it worked as the finale for this weird MCU era and made me optimistic for the future. Bucky's big action moment made me giddy.

My May comics preview is up at @avclub.com! Picks include: 💀 EXQUISITE CORPSES by Tynion, Walsh, et al 👻 THE GODDAMN TRAGEDY by Condon and Kuruneru 💔 HEARTCORE by Jislová 💪 SUPERGIRL by Campbell and Bonvillain 📘 SPENT by Bechdel www.avclub.com/new-comic-bo...

One of the best superhero books right now. Every person on the creative team firing on all cylinders, Ollie is very sexy, excellent street-level superheroics with a strong POV. Looking forward to more from this team.
