0 on Batman: Li'l Gotham #10 reviewRather than try to top last year's fantastic, cameo-laden Halloween special, issue #10 foregoes trick-or-treating for an Autumn themed episode starring Poison Ivy and a murder mystery lead by Damian Wayne. As always, Li'l Gotham is a lighthearted, all-ages comic with self-contained tales that can be enjoyed by anyone. Ivy in the Fall Derek Fridolfs…
NOTE: This issue does indeed mark a jumping-on point for new readers, but I highly, highly recommend you play the video game or, more importantly, read the original 12 issues of Injustice: Gods Among Us first. The 1st year of Injustice: Gods Among Us was an entertaining and emotional prequel and the first volume of…
Although solicitations made Martian Manhunter and Stargirl's confrontation with the lunatics of Gotham City sound like the main attraction, issue #11 only spends about 8 exciting pages in Batman's hometown before moving on to a road trip that sees the pair traveling across the nation to reach Stargirl's family or Firestorm, whichever comes first. While…
Does it feel to anyone else like the Nightwing title has been getting knocked around by editorial interference from the start? It's a book that's shifted gears a lot. It looked like Nightwing was going to stand out as a book about a hero who gets to tour the US as a traveling hero who…
NOTE: I recommend that you read Detective Comics #27 before reading this comic or any review. I'm going to avoid any major spoilers from this issue, but in order to discuss it at all I'll need to mention what happened in Layman & Fabok's story that kicked-off "Gothtopia," particularly the villain who is seemingly responsible…
Gothtopia, Injustice: Year Two, Forever Evil, and a few more modest stories are all headed your way this Wednesday. And if you've gotten used to the routine of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's Batman coming out on the 2nd week of every month, I have some bad news for you: it won't be on sale…
To celebrate 75 years of Batman, Detective Comics #27 has been super-sized as a giant anniversary issue featuring a collection of short stories by a roster of all-star creators. Here's what I thought about it. Ads Batman: Black and White is $4.99 and doesn't feature any ads so I was expecting the same treatment for…
NOTE: For a better reading experience, check out Detective Comics #27 BEFORE reading this issue or this review! Luke Fox is back from Rome and Gotham is looking quite different. Everything is bright, cheerful, and safe. Does Luke question any of this? Not at first, he's one of the happy people. But there are a…
One of the great things about Batman: Black and White is that it gives writers and artists a chance to do something really daring and experimental. With each tale taking place outside of any continuity, creators can tap into any era of the mythology or completely turn the tropes of the average Batman comic on their…
Right from the first page, that's when I knew. When I saw Bane dressed in a cape and cowl screaming at a Talon to "Wake the hell up!" I knew Arkham War wasn't going to be what I hoped it could be. This whole mini-series has progressed from "Hey, this could be fun!" to "That…
The cover might show Batman holding a stick of kryptonite during this bought with Superman, but I assure you it's a lot more complicated than that and if you haven't read the previous two issues you're going to be pretty lost. You see, there's no kryptonite on hand. This is a super-powered, nanobot infused Batman…
Emperor Penguin is the first Detective Comics volume out of the New 52 that's actually worth picking up. John Layman, Jason Fabok, and Andy Clarke taking the reins from the series' previous creator made for a vast improvement. The name "Detective Comics" was more famous for its nonsensical plots and unintentionally funny moments than it…
Vote for your favorite World's Finest cover of 1944! Every three weeks we'll have a poll featuring all of the covers from a particular Bat-title of 1944 until finally we pit every winner against each other and declare the Batman News community's favorite cover of 1944. Keep in mind that you’re not voting for what…
As if the mega-sized Detective Comics #27 wasn't enough, there are several other quality titles arriving in stores this Wednesday! Here are the review comics coming out this week, January 8th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation: The All-New Anticipation Scale NOcenti – A comic I downright dread reading and if I wasn't…
This was really great! I don't think there's a villain I've hated more this year than Injustice Superman and he is definitely at his worst here. I'm going to mention spoilers regarding the previous issue and any spoilers from this particular issue will be hidden so if you haven't read any of this series before…
It's the end of James Tynion IV's run on the series he created and if I could say one thing about this issue it's that it's definitely not dull! Last month's episode set up a pretty explosive finale with Calvin Rose (partially) injected by a Talon-killing serum, Felix ready to torture him to death, brainwashed…
Like most of the Bat-titles, Nightwing was swept up in Snyder & Capullo's Death of the Family, but unlike many of those other tie-ins, Nightwing fared rather well. Volume 3 of the New 52 series features some of the best moments of the Joker crossover event as well as noteworthy fallout from the Batman #17…
The Joker: The Clown Prince of Crime couldn't be more timely here in Review Country. Just a week or two ago I was talking about the newly released Harley Quinn #1 and how I felt that much like the Joker, she's a character I enjoy most in small doses. In my opinion there are characters out…
Most of this review is going to go in spoiler tags and even that's going to be relatively short because it's New Year's Eve and most of my criticisms are the same as they were in the first 2 issues. To get right to the point: chapter 3 (of 4) doesn't have as many bizarre…
There have been a number of occasions in which I've told readers to pick up a copy of the soon-to-be-canceled Batman: The Dark Knight, but ignore all the words and just enjoy the visuals. Well, I can say that again with issue #26 but this time that's how the comic was actually intended to be enjoyed!…
