  • The Power Company Recharged #1 review

    The Power Company: Recharged #1 spins directly out of the DC Power: Rise of the Power Company #1 anthology. Primarily focusing on the consequences of Amanda Waller's actions in the Absolute Power event, this story hinges on an outbreak of xenophobia in Atlanta. Luckily, there is a Batman on the case! Well, John Ridley's Batman.…

    There's good news and bad news. The good news is, Nightwing's convoluted gang war finally dies down for the time being. However, the bad news is, the corrupt cops using Helios seemingly awaken something much worse.

  • Two-Face #5 review

    One month after Harvey's fateful trial against himself, the team is finally able to restart the White Church. Albeit, this time Harvey uses his assistant, Lake Cantwell, to stand as the face of the court in his stead. Primarily, due to his inability to trust his own actions. Nonetheless, despite getting the court in order,…


  • Poison Ivy #32 review

    Poison Ivy returns to Batman-News with the cigarettes and milk in a brand new review. Let's catch up! Pamela Isley is on a mildly homicidal redemption arc and is taking residence in Gotham's Slaughter Swamp with her friends. Unfortunately, due to her misguided actions, a war reignites between the forces of the Green and Grey.…


  • Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League review

    A whole seven years after the original brain-splitting film, Batman: Ninja, director Junpei Mizusaki and Shinji Takagi returns for an equally wild sequel. This time, Batman must face-off against evil Yakuza variants of the Justice League! The surprisingly literal culture clash continues with all-new threats, action sequences, and extensive anime tropes. Like most anime, that…

    Dick Grayson is fighting an uphill battle against corruption in Dan Watters' Nightwing #124. Despite brokering an uneasy peace, a mad arms dealer instigates a war between the gangs and the Blüdhaven police. To make matters worse, Nightwing risks his life to help the gangs by any means. This includes taking it upon himself to…


  • Two-Face #4 review

    Confronted with the shocking truth about the Shadow Hand, Harvey retreats into the trippy confines of his mind. Consequently, "Good Harvey" and "Bad Harvey" have their long awaited face to face. At least, if you buy into Harvey's deep psychological dissociation. In any case, Christian Ward seizes the opportunity to explore Tw0-Face's life-long victimization from…

  • Nightwing #123 review

    Nightwing is finding out that taking back the city isn't quite as easy as 1, 2, 3 in Nightwing #123. Lame joke aside, Dan Watters' "On With The Show" saga continues with a closer look at another Blüdhaven street gang. This time, we get the 4-1-1 on the so-called "Flyboiz." As Spheric and Helios seek…


  • Two-Face #3 review

    Christian Ward's Two-Face has been amazing so far, but what is it all about? When the series began, Harvey Dent became an impromptu mediator for Gotham's criminal underworld. Although the White Church is a manifestation of Harvey's guilt, it seemingly serves as somewhat rehabilitation. Yet, a ominous Shadow Hand is intentionally sabotaging his venture with…


  • DC Power 2025: Rise Of The Power Company #1 review

    DC Power returns to celebrate yet another compilation of black led stories. Last year, creatives like Brandon Thomas, Khary Randolph, and N.K Jimisin brought their unique voices to the underrepresented pantheon of black characters.

  • Batman: Gargoyle Of Gotham #3 review

    Creeping back into the limelight is the past due third issue of Batman: Gargoyle Of Gotham.

  • Dark Knights Of Steel: Allwinter #6 review

    The ice-cold follow up to Dark Knights of Steel finally reaches a conclusion. In a nutshell, the heroes put aside their differences to undo a horrific mistake. With murder, of course. Nonetheless, the series seems to wrap up with an explosive, albeit rushed final battle against a heartbroken magus. Let's discuss the end of Allwinter…
