16 on New 52 - Nightwing Annual #1 reviewDick Grayson returns to Gotham to pack up his things and officially make the big move to Chicago after racing off to the Windy City to track down his parents' killer a few months ago (at least in our time, it might just be a few weeks in Gotham-time). Helping him move is Barbara Gordon,…
With the new 4-part mini-series Damian: Son of Batman, Andy Kubert writes and illustrates the story that Bruce Wayne only caught a glimpse of when he foresaw a possible future in which the mantle of the bat was passed down to a child from the union of Wayne and al Ghul. Batman Inc. #5 may…
Poll #1 featured all World’s Finest covers from 1943 and now we're going to see what the best Detective Comics cover is, then 3 weeks after that we'll vote on Batman, and finally the best cover from each of those three series will compete against each other. Keep in mind that you’re not voting for…
The third volume in the adventures of a secret black ops group full of B- and C-list villains features even more Harley Quinn than before, gives Yo-Yo an origin story, and ties itself not only to the Death of the Family event, but books like Team 7, Birds of Prey, and Teen Titans as well.…
There are only 2 bat-comics out this week. One is an over-sized annual that deals with the relationship between Batgirl & Nightwing and the other is the start of an all new mini-series starring none other than Damian Wayne. Oh, and Death of the Family finally hits shelves! Here are the review comics coming out…
The third volume of Batgirl features the crossover "Death of the Family" in its title, but unlike another New 52 graphic novel that was released this month (Catwoman, Vol. 3: Death of the Family, which only touched on the subject for a single issue) the material collected in this hardback is impacted greatly by the…
On the same week that fans are worried about the fate of this new animated series a brand new comic book tie-in series has begun. Even though Cartoon Network has mysteriously yanked the cartoon from the airwaves until January you can still get your Beware the Batman fix with this comic book by Ivan Cohen…
Although our hero's name is emphasized twice in the title he actually doesn't appear once in these pages. In fact, Batman: The Dark Knight #24 feels more like a Villains Month release, but that's not necessarily a bad thing considering how convoluted the Clayface backstory has become over the decades with there being a grand…
Director Howard Hawks described a good movie as having "three great scenes and no bad ones." This issue of Injustice: Gods Among Us has such incredible, standout moments that I was immediately reminded of that quote upon finishing this satisfying read. Yes, there are a few blemishes here and there, but on the whole, Injustice: Gods…
While I thought we might get more answers about what happened to the Justice League it seems that this series has an all new agenda of explaining the back story behind the members of the Crime Syndicate and if future installments are half as fun as then you'll get no complaint from me. Issue #24…
It's a new arc, a new artist, and the beginning of the end for writer and creator James Tynion IV, who will be leaving the series in January. Last issue saw the conclusion of Calvin Rose and Casey Washington's assault on Santa Prisca, Bane's own private island. In the final pages Casey had been rescued…
A video game tie-in, a cartoon tie-in, the origin of Clayface, the invasion of Gotham, and the answer to what happened to the Justice League. Here are the review comics coming out this week, October 23rd, graded on a scale of my own anticipation. Hell no! – I’d rather not – Ambivalent…
Batman Beyond Universe is en fuego. It's a series on the rise and I hope it starts getting more attention because the new creative teams that took over for Batman Beyond Unlimited are elevating these properties to new heights. This issue in particular delivers a ton of action and even gives its supporting characters plenty…
The biggest flaw in Batman/Superman's first arc is that we all new from the very first page that everything that would happen over the next four issues would inevitably get swept under the rug. Justice League #1 made it clear that that particular meeting of Batman and Superman was their first so obviously there would…
Legends of the Dark Knight is dead. Long live Legends of the Dark Knight! Issue #13 might be the end of the series as we know it (monthly and at a price of $3.99) but it will return in December as the Legends of the Dark Knight 100-Page Super Spectacular, a bi-monthly comic that's extra-sized…
I doubt that the Clock King or The Mad Hatter is anyone's favorite villain from the 1966 Adam West TV series, but writer Jeff Parker and artists Jonathan Case and Sandy Jarrell dust these characters off and give them the best episodes they never had. The Hatter Takes the Crown Sick and tired of every…
Last week we saw the birth of the Joker take place in Zero Year, but it appears that the New 52 birth of Two-Face really snuck up on us! It's never explained how, but Two-Face has escaped from Arkham Asylum (he was locked up again at the end of Death of the Family and this…
The latest issue of Justice League of America by Matt Kindt and Doug Mahnke is a drawn-out and often repetitive installment that kinda-sorta answers the question "What happened to all the good guys?" On the opening page of JLA #8 we learn that Stargirl and Martain Manhunter have somehow been spared the same fate as…
A whiny Batman, a Ke$ha-esque Selina Kyle, a resurrection by cat-licking, and a demonic possession. This is Ann Nocenti & Rafa Sandoval's Catwoman and it's one of the worst things I've read. Content This softcover collects New 52 - Catwoman issues #0, 13-18. It's important to note that issue #18 was part of the Requiem…
Note: Do NOT read The Joker: Death of the Family until you have already finished Batman, Vol. 3: Death of the Family, which goes on sale October 30th. When the New 52 began in September of 2011, one of the first stories to really grab headlines was Tony Daniel's Detective Comics #1. That comic featured…
