6 on Futures End #3 reviewIn the wake of a hero's death, Futures End deals much with the theme of responsibility and those who choose to run from it. While last week's installment focused primarily on the funeral for (and I'm going to spoil it here so if you don't want to know then I suggest... you... leave... now...) Green…
NOTE: I'm going to spoil the final page of the previous issue, there's no way around it. If you plan on reading issue #1, turn back now. So the last issue ended with Firestorm showing up too late to save Green Arrow and now all of our heroes must attend the funeral. I say all,…
Alysia, Barbara's roommate, is raiding a corporate building with a small group of activists when they are accosted by the villain known as Ragdoll. Meanwhile, Barbara Gordon is summoned to the hospital by her kind-of/sort-of boyfriend Ricky, who may be looking to break-up with Barbara. This issue sees the return of Gail Simone to writing…
On Monday, DC Comics released their list of August solicitations and Batwing, Birds of Prey, and All-Star Western all read "FINAL ISSUE." However, it should be noted that Batwing and Birds of Prey will still have special Futures End #1 issues in September, like all other New 52 titles that month. ALL-STAR WESTERN #34 Written…
If you didn't read the latest issue of Batman Beyond Universe, then I suggest you rush out to the comic shop and catch up before this Wednesday's release of "Justice Lords Beyond," a sequel of sorts to one of Justice League: The Animated Series' finest episodes, "A Better World." Here is Batman News' exclusive preview…
Great Caesar's Ghost! There are a lot of comics coming out this week. You name it, it's out there! Not one, but two Batman Beyond comics (a first), the end of Forever Evil, a long overdue Justice League that actually features the whole team, Batman '66, Eternal, Scribblenauts, Lobo, Batgirl, Justice League of America, on…
When Batman falls into a coma after repairing a satellite, Superman uses his X-ray vision to find the source of the problem and discover a microscopic spaceship lodged in The Dark Knight's brain. Unable to save Batman on his own, Superman turns to the organization known as S.H.A.D.E. and scientist Ray Palmer for help. Greg…
When the Arkham War ended, Bane was the clear victor, but his reign over Gotham proves to be a short lived one in Forever Evil Aftermath: Batman vs. Bane, a one-shot epilogue to the Arkham War mini-series and Forever Evil itself. Oh, and in case you're confused, no... no, Forever Evil still hasn't had its…
You know how every once in a while in Batman Eternal we'll cut away from the gang war or Jim Gordon to see the ghost of Deacon Blackfire or witness Jim Corrigan AKA The Spectre do something mysterious? Well, this is the issue that addresses all of the strangely supernatural aspects and it's surprisingly boring.…
The all-new DC Designer Series: Greg Capullo Batman, Talon, Nightwing, and Riddler figures can be purchased online and at your local comic shop as of today, May 14th. Every 6-7-inch character is modeled after all-star artist Greg Capullo's work on the New 52 Batman series and crafted by professional statue and action figure sculptor Jonathan…
A time-traveling Terry McGinnis fights to save the future, Batman teams up with The Spectre as Gotham is swallowed in gang war, and someone is tapping Barbara Gordon's phone, which doesn't sound quite as dire as the other two examples, but still those are the stories coming your way this Wednesday! Here’s the full list…
There's a dead body on Bruce Wayne's doorstep and it's a death connected to a case deeply personal to the detective on the scene, Harvey Bullock. Detective Comics #31 is part 2 of the Icarus saga and picks up where issue #30 left off so be sure to pick that one up before diving in…
First of all, that's a super-cool cover. Second of all, I know I said in my review of issue #0 that things would probably be summed up pretty well in issue #1 for those who couldn't get a Free Comic Book Day copy, but it looks like I was wrong. You're going to enjoy this…
Chapter 5 doesn't really feel like any issue of Batman Eternal before it. There aren't several different subplots to follow, Batman is hardly featured at all, and almost every major storyline running through the first four issues is missing. Instead, we're turning our attention to Tim Drake and an investigation into a mysterious disease plaguing…
The Comics Arts Council sent out a press release late last night detailing how the Finger Estate definitely does not agree with a DC representative's remark that the comics company was "all good" with Finger and his family." The full press release can be read below: During a recent WonderCon Anaheim panel for Batman’s 75th anniversary,…
What do Earth 2, a sumo wrestler, Tim Drake, and Batman Beyond have in common? They're all featured in this week's new Batman comic book releases! Here’s the full list of review comics out this week, May 7th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation: The Anticipation Scale NOcenti – A comic I downright dread…
If you don't know what it is then you're in for a crazy freaking ride, but if you've been following the release of Futures End closely you get about what you expected, which is still pretty cool. Futures End #0 is DC Comics most talked about Free Comic Book Day release. It's the prelude to…
Jim Gordon is on trial, Stephanie Brown is on the run, and as Carmine Falcone plots to rebuild Gotham in his image another unseen enemy of The Dark Knight moves to burn everything down, it's Batman Eternal time! There are two things that might be a little misleading about the otherwise awesome cover of Batman Eternal…
Batgirl's 2nd over-sized annual issue is a worthwhile read that does much to develop a classic villain. Writer Gail Simone divides the comic by seasons and through the seasons explores the changing emotional state of Poison Ivy, who plays a major role throughout the comic, which actually begins its narrative near the launch of the…
There were enough requests for this in the comments section of the weekly Upcoming Comics article that I figured I'd talk about Batwoman this Saturday. As you know, things didn't end so well between DC Comics and the book's original writers J.H. Williams & W. Haden Blackman and as a result the 4th volume of…
