18 on Upcoming Comics: December 31st, 2013Comics come on a Tuesday again to make way for the New Year. Our final week of 2013 comics include a silent Batman issue, the third chapter of the Damian Wayne mini-series, the final chapter of Injustice: Season One, James Tynion's farewell to Talon, and a whole fleet of other fringe titles. Here are the…
Ignore the cover. This isn't about an explosive confrontation between Luthor and Batman, it's something much more. After one chapter showing us the cataclysm and two chapters detailing who the players are, Chapter 4 "Hide and Seek" sets all the pieces in motion so that it finally feels like we're getting somewhere. Not only that,…
Issue #26 isn't just the backstory for Power Ring as many anticipated, it's a showcase of origin tales for Grid, Johnny Quick, Deathstorm, and other members of the Crime Syndicate as well and I think that gives you plenty of bang for your buck this Christmas Eve. Geoff Johns continues to leave the Justice League…
The final issue by series creator James Tynion IV won't go on sale until December 31st, but you can find Batman News' exclusive preview of issue #14 right here. Click on any image below to view in high resolution: TALON #14 Written by JAMES TYNION IV Art by EMANUEL SIMEONI Cover by EMANUEL SIMEONI On…
Comic Book Wednesday falls on Christmas this year so with all the comic shops being closed, every publisher is moving up release dates to Christmas Eve. However, since that's still pretty inconvenient for most folks, DC is only releasing 2 books this Tuesday: Forever Evil #4 and Justice League #26. Here are the review comics…
With issue #5 beginning all-new story arcs for both Batman Beyond 2.0 and Justice League Beyond, it makes for a great jumping-on point for curious new readers. Here's a brief look at what each of these opening chapters have to offer: Batman Beyond 2.0 The Bat Men: Great Expectations Batman Beyond has the honor of…
To better understand how the New 52 Two-Face came to be we must first understand the person who created him and it's not Sal Maroni. The third chapter of "The Big Burn" is one that takes us deeper into the past than ever before while simultaneously continuing the present day storyline in which Two-Face is…
Granted, it's been a long time since I've seen every episode of the Batman TV series, but I had zero recollection of who "The Bookworm" was going into this issue and I like that. One of the things I've really treasured about Batman '66 so far is that writer Jeff Parker has been unafraid to…
Harley Quinn #1 is going to make somebody's day, but it just won't be me. Look, I definitely think that writers Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti are delivering a better portrayal of Harley Quinn than we've seen in any other New 52 book and Chad Hardin makes a great fit for the tone of this series,…
Keep in mind that you’re not voting for what cover is the most important to Batman history! This isn’t a poll to see which comic was the biggest milestone. So even though I add some fun facts with a few of these issues, don’t let it affect your decision on which cover you believe looks…
Harley Quinn, Terry McGinnis, Adam West, and an all new Two-Face origin for the New 52 era, that's what's in store for readers this Wednesday! Here are the review comics coming out this week, December 18th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation: Hell no! – I’d rather not – Ambivalent…
Coming to comic shops this Wednesday and bookstores everywhere on 12/24 is the third volume of the New 52 Birds of Prey featuring Batgirl, Black Canary, Starling, Katana, and an all-new character and former Court of Owls Talon, Strix. This 160 page trade paperback includes the last of Duane Swierczynski's run (issues #13-17) and it also…
Legends of the Dark Knight is back and it's bigger than ever, but bigger doesn't necessarily mean better so we still need to review it, right? The "Super Spectacular" continues where the last issue of the comic anthology series left off back in October. Only the page count and price tag have changed. It's still…
If you were browsing through your local comic shop today --a day with 9+ Batman-related comics hitting the shelves-- and saw this comic and said to yourself, "Drawings of a sixteen year old girl taking a bright, golden poo?! Yes, please!" YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE VERY DISAPPOINTED. This is easily one of DC's most…
Two things to note: All in all, there's really not a whole lot of substance to this issue. It can be fun watching the villains fight, but that's pretty much all it is. A few cameo-stuffed pages of recognizable villains punching here, a couple panels of conspiring villains reciting the plot back to us again…
It's part 4 of 6 for the Batman: Black and White mini-series and this time the talent includes such names as Dustin Nguyen, Kenneth Rocafort, and Michael Allred, and many more. What short stories are in store for you with the latest from this Eisner Award-winning anthology series and does it maintain those Eisner Award-winning standards that…
Say what you will about the hard-to-swallow motivations of some of the characters and the sporadic release schedule of this arc, but the covers for Batgirl: Wanted have been breath-taking and issue #26 is no exception. Best of all, I think fans of Gail Simone's Barbara Gordon will be equally pleased with what's behind that…
It's odd to see the Gotham blackout and Riddler take such a backseat, but the idea of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo reimagining Batman's first supervillain, Doctor Death, has managed to be a rather enjoyable (and disturbing) distraction. At the end of last month's issue, Lucius Fox jabbed a syringe into Bruce's neck and as…
When compared with issue #19, the first chapter of the first arc in Nightwing's Chicago adventure's, issue #26 is a bit of a snooze. I mean, that first arc we had Nightwing being chased by police while he himself hunted the man who killed his parents, we caught a glimpse of a serial killer who…
A Dustin Nguyen illustrated cover that pays homage to the classic Jack Burnley cover from the 1940's AND a beloved Batman: The Animated Series episode? Come on. While it's worth picking up this $2.99 comic for that cover alone, you're also in store for what I think is the best issue of Batman: Li'l Gotham yet!…
