5 on "Red Hood and the Outlaws" gets a new writerTalon isn't the only book that James Tynion IV is leaving in 2014. Will Pfeifer will be taking over for Tynion on the New 52 series Red Hood and the Outlaws starting with issue #29 this March. However, Tynion will not be leaving Gotham altogether, he's instead devoting his attention to the new weekly series Batman…
"Futures End" will be an all-new weekly series debuting in May, 2014. The comic promises to jump 5 years into the future of the DC Universe and feature Batman Beyond for the first time as an official part of the DC Universe's continuity. How exactly can Batman Beyond happen only five years into the future?…
It's safe to say that the Justice League title isn't really about the Justice League anymore, but that in no way means that it's something you should skip. The main event is indeed Forever Evil and Justice League has been turned into supplemental material for that saga, but it is very good supplemental material that…
This February's issue of Batman will no longer be the conclusion of Zero Year: Dark City, but a one-shot illustrated by Dustin Nguyen and written by Scott Snyder & James Tynion IV. This issue does not take place in the past of Zero Year or the present of Forever Evil, but will actually jump ahead…
There were only 3 comics on my review schedule last week and it was lovely. Lovely! But this week we have 9 Batman-related comics coming out. Delayed comics, sidekick comics, team comics, revived digital first comics, kid-friendly comics, mini-series comics, and, of course, the main Batman title. It's all there. And no, I am not…
Here is Batman News' exclusive preview of Batman: Li'l Gotham #9, which will be available in comic shops everywhere this Wednesday! It's a great comic for kids of all ages and this issue in particular looks like a must-read for fans of Batman: The Animated Series and those folks who have experienced the hassles that…
Here is Batman News' exclusive preview of the Digital First Batman Beyond 2.0 #9, which will be available for download this Saturday for only 99 cents! This is the first part of an all-new arc in one of my favorite ongoing titles and, as you can see by the images below, it features one of the…
"Crown of Fear" is a done-in-one comic that's devoted to wrapping up a storyline that's been featured in the background of Detective Comics since April. It's a Man-Bat feature that's loaded with enough exposition and editor's notes that a new reader could conceivably jump on, but I wouldn't recommend it. It would simply be too…
Under the alias of "Duke Turner," Luke Fox travels to Italy to find Italian crime lord, Charlie Caligula, who is hosting a one of a kind fighting tournament. If you love stories about a secret agent trying to infiltrate a death match, be it Enter the Dragon or Gymkata, you're going to walk away from…
This video game themed storyline may serve as mindless fun after a rather serious opening arc, but I think it has gone on for long enough. In fact, I had a moment midway through this comic when I paused for a moment and said a little prayer hoping that it would all wrap-up nicely within…
The title may be "Batman and Robin" but it's The Boy Wonder who steals the show and makes the book his own. Batman and Robin, Vol. 3: Death of the Family features some of the best moments Damian Wayne has ever had, but it's also only 4-issues long (not counting the final chapter of Snyder…
A team-up, a death-match, and a swarm of rabid bats are all coming your way this week! Justice League 3000 #1 also comes out, but I'm not going to be reviewing it. Update: Justice League 3000 #1, like Batman Black And White, has been postponed until December 11th. Here are the review comics coming out this…
Nearly all of the volume 3 New 52 Bat-titles were labeled "Death of the Family" but Red Hood and the Outlaws is one of the only books to really deserve it. This is Death of the Family material through-and-through. Not only are you getting the actual Death of the Family tie-in issues, but this TPB…
November is finally over and I couldn't be happier. This month was so full of crossover tie-ins, annuals, and mini-series that I definitely had to review way more books than usual. Still, I found some time to check out a few non-bat titles to deliver yet another installment of "Break from Batman." This segment is…
Talon #13 is the penultimate chapter in creator James Tynion IV's run on the series so, of course, it's not a new-reader friendly issue. If you haven't ever read a Talon comic before but plan on it, then I recommend you exit out of this window now, go pick up Talon, Volume 1 and start…
With the exception of Arkham Unhinged, DC's Digital First comics have been some of the best, most consistent titles I've reviewed. Batman: Li'l Gotham will be ending next month (digitally anyway, we still have a few more months of print issues remaining) and it's always been a joy, Batman Beyond Universe is a gripping and…
It was an arc that felt "too soon" what with Clayface already having a 2-parter in Snyder & Capullo's Batman and another short story in John Layman & Jason Fabok's Detective Comics, but the first chapter of Gregg Hurwitz and Alex Maleev's Clayface storyline was indeed a great start. However, my feelings quickly shifted back…
A coherent, beautifully illustrated story about a street-tough woman with sex-appeal who resides in a moral grey zone that allows her to be a smart anti-hero who helps others yet serve her own self interest more often than not as she moonlights as a thief. She slips seamlessly into elegant parties, steals priceless items, she's…
Gotham writhes in darkness as a hurricane roars over the horizon; it is a city in chaos on the brink of even greater disaster. A state of emergency is in effect and the call has been sent out for all law enforcement agencies to offer whatever aid they can muster. One of the brave souls…
I didn't think the first face I would see in issue #2 would be as bad as what greeted me in issue #1 but I was wrong. I opened this up, took one look, laughed out loud and threw the comic back to the table. Jeez... the first panel looks like an old Asian man…
