DC Comics Quick Takes for the Week of April 2, 2025
Sometimes, there isn’t enough to say for a complete review, but there is still something to be said. That’s what Quick Takes is about. It would be difficult to review EVERY comic I read in a week, but I’ll always have something to say. So, here’s to something new…Quick Takes for the Week of April 2, 2025. Be sure to comment on what you’re reading and enjoying this week and check out the full reviews for the week at DC Comics News!
Justice League: The Atom Project #4
Mike Perkins’ art is the standout of this series so far and this issue is no different. There’s an interesting concept in the mini-series, but writers John Ridley and Ryan Parrot are trying too hard to be clever with their story. The surprise on the final page is indeed a shocking turn of events, but the path there is far too circuitous and it diminishes the impact. Sometimes being more straightforward is a better storytelling technique and this issue, indeed this whole series so far would benefit from it.
Resurrection Man: Quantum Karma #1
I don’t think anyone ever wanted to know this much about Resurrection Man. If this is a character you’re into this is probably one of the greatest things you’ve ever hoped to get on the character. I don’t know that this will pull in new readers, it doesn’t feel accessible to those unfamiliar with the character. There are some real over the top moments and the parts that might resonate widely don’t last long enough. The overall concept is fairly bizarre and I feel like this makes it even weirder.
Batgirl #6
Cassandra Cain is not a character that I’ve followed closely over the years. Batgirl #6 appears to require a deeper understanding of her history and tutelage under the Batman. The strongest aspect of this issue is the relationship between Cassandra and Shiva. There’s some deep stuff there that plays well, definitely stronger than the Unburied. The end of this issue feels a bit like it’s taking place out of continuity, or it’s just simply misdirection that doesn’t really work in today’s comics. Next issue promises a history of Lady Shiva and that in itself is tantalizing. Can this team bring it all together? We’ll have to see.
