1 on Batman: Li'l Gotham #11 reviewCome celebrate All Saints' Day and Daylight Savings Time in the penultimate installment of Li'l Gotham, the all-ages book that longtime fans and little kids reading about the bat-family for the first time can both enjoy. Li'l Gotham has a formula down: have beautiful water colors with cute imagery and short-stories that are silly yet…
The latest Digital First issue of the acclaimed Batman Beyond 2.0 goes on sale tomorrow, February 15th, and you can find an exclusive preview of the latest chapter in The Bat Men Saga right here at Batman News! When the Bureau sends in an elite special forces team to take down Langstrom, Terry and Bruce…
With the Nightwing series ending at issue #30, it appears that writer Kyle Higgins is trying to tie up all loose ends and craft a finale that brings us up to date with Forever Evil while celebrating the past 28 issues. The first 1/3 of the comic is essentially one large fight scene that tosses…
"Gotham Eternal" is a clever approach at the notorious "filler issue." Quite simply, Batman artist Greg Capullo needed more time to complete the next installment of Zero Year but rather than delay the comic or submit something that wasn't up to the team's usual stellar quality the folks behind Batman hired James Tynion IV as…
Mark Doyle will serve as the new group editor of all Batman titles following Mike Marts' departure fromDC for Marvel last month. Doyle is most well-known for bringing Scott Snyder to DC Comics and for his work editing such comics as American Vampire, Northlanders, The Wake, Scalped, DMZ, Sweet Tooth, and Before Watchmen. Here is Doyle's twitter…
This 100-page spectacular serves as a Harley Quinn greatest hits collection, but unfortunately doesn't feature the one story everyone wants to see most: Mad Love. I'll give you a rundown of all the stories compiled behind Alex Ross' iconic cover. Batman: Harley Quinn #1 The main event. This one-shot by Paul Dini and Yvel Guichet…
We've reached the end of Batman: Black and White and it pleases me to say that it finishes strong with some of the best stories featured in the entire 6-part collection. As always, these are stories that take place outside of any continuity so anyone can pick it up. It's an anthology series packed with…
Batman Eternal teasers, the build to Nightwing's goodbye begins, Batgirl gets a new baddie, and more! Here's the full list of review comics out this week, February 12th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation: The Anticipation Scale NOcenti – A comic I downright dread reading and if I wasn’t a reviewer, I would never buy…
It's the Night of Owls crossover event meets David Finch's "Knight Terrors" from Batman: The Dark Knight and if you've seen both of those then you can probably stop reading the review right there because that pretty much sums it up. But if what I said means nothing to you, basically it's a comic full…
Whose idea was it to change the colors on this cover? The dark blue drowns out the metallic grey of Batwing's armor. The covers of Batwing have been phenomenal lately and I was especially looking forward to this one, but now that it's blue? It just doesn't pop! It doesn't stand out the way the…
Most of Forever Evil so far has been about Lex Luthor gradually assembling his very own Injustice Gang and in issue #4 we finally saw them come together and just about do something when suddenly we were met with an exciting cliffhanger that revealed a Parallax-powered Sinestro. As Sinestro prepared to pulverize the villainous Earth…
"Mad" is bloody. How bloody? Well, the cover you see was originally part of a gate-fold, which when extended revealed the second half of a larger image: Mad Hatter riding his own private gondola afloat a river of dead bodies. I'll talk about this more gruesome depiction of a classic baddie, a Bruce Wayne love…
There comes a time when you have to wonder who operates Arkham Asylum more often: the inmates or the staff? Part 2 of "Gothtopia" begins with a sizeable portion of recap for those who didn't pick up the pricey Detective Comics #27 75th Anniversary Special, but really I think everyone picked that one up, didn't…
Before I get started, I just want to say that I liked how the unused cover from issue #15 was employed for the TPB. I wish more of the Death of the Family volumes had done that, especially Nightwing, which had a great image of Grayson being enveloped by Joker cards like they were quicksand.…
Take Harley Quinn, remove everything funny about her and then add in aspects of The Lord of the Rings' Gollum and Dracula's Renfield and you have The Joker's Daughter. I tried my hardest to avoid this character, mostly because she's always been written by the literary Caligula that is Ann Nocenti. But with this one-shot…
A portal opens over a major city and spews forth thousands of mindless alien-lizard-robots looking to conquer another world in the name of a death-obsessed cosmic overlord and it's up to a hastily assembled team of superheroes to close the portal and save the day. No, it's not Marvel's The Avengers, it's Justice League: War,…
The previous volume of Birds of Prey was bad. Duane Swierczynski's run began strong with a debut arc that emphasized strong characterization and thrilling espionage, but after a Night of the Owls cross-over interruption the quality of the comic began to slide. The stories that followed all seemed to deal with swapping out members of…
In the 2nd volume, DC's failed attempt at creating their own version of Marvel's Black Panther grew all the more desperate in his attempt to connect with readers. Major storylines were cast aside in exchange for trips to Gotham so that Batman could make more frequent cameos and hopefully boost sales. The Justice League International…
Of the 21 issues from the Arkham Unhinged series there was only one that really mattered and it's included in this collection. Presentation I can't for the life of me see why this series has gotten such beautiful hardcovers, but DC did again with volume 3. Pull away the dust jacket and you'll find this…
Like last week's Batman/Superman Annual, the latest issue of Batman/Superman has been delayed until the 26th... but that doesn't mean we're going to be short on Bat-titles this week. No... not by a long shot. Here are the review comics coming out this week, February 5th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation: The…
