10 on Beware the Batman: Sacrifice review (S01E10)Anarky returns and this time he's playing Batman and the League of Assassins against each other. If his plan works, both the Batman and Lady Shiva will be responsible for unleashing a deadly contagion on all of Gotham City. Katana learns about sacrifice. Directed by Sam Liu. Written by Mark Banker. When the opening scene…
In a month full of so many filler comics, Injustice: Gods Among Us #9 really shines. Here is a book with a purpose, a story to tell. In last month's issue-- which I highly suggest you read first-- the world was under attack by the armies of Apokolips and Kalibak himself (a character I'd like…
Back in July I announced that I was done writing reviews about Ann Nocenti and Rafa Sandoval's Catwoman series until the book had a new creative team and Joker's Daughter #1 is written by Ann Nocenti. I reviewed Nocenti's run starting from the revival-by-cat-licking origin story all the way through the demon possession and finally…
It's very similar to last November's Arkham Unhinged #8 and it has a lot of the same flaws as that comic as well. First off, the cover by Patrick Gleason looks pretty cool in my opinion (even if he drew Croc with only 3 fingers and a thumb) and once again you have to applaud…
It's not really Secret Society #1, it's more like Owlman #1 or Outsider #1. But while it doesn't offer a whole lot in the Secret Society department it does give us a glimpse at what's sure to be a pretty big part of the next issue of Forever Evil and plenty of interesting things to…
It's highly likely that you'll spend more time reading this review than you will reading the actual comic because this book is a lightning-quick read. In the spirit of that, I'm going to try my hardest to keep my own review short, but seeing as how I almost always hit a thousand words... Does it…
The architect behind the upcoming Arkham War event, Peter J. Tomasi, gives us his last Villain book of the month and it's about one of the most popular Batman villains of our time, Bane. Another cool thing about this issue is that it's illustrated by Bane's original co-creator, Graham Nolan. But is it actually a…
Someone has sabotaged a U.S. naval weapons test and sparked a war with Atlantis. Now it's a race against the clock to not only find out who is responsible for the attack but to rescue the countless innocent lives that are in danger as an enraged Atlantis begins to sink coastal cities into the sea.…
No, his costume isn't the coolest and yes it is a title that cashed in on the success of The Court of Owls arc from Scott Snyder's Batman but trust me, this book will exceed your expectations and be 100% worth your time and money. Content Talon, Vol. 1: Scourge of the Owls is written…
Medusa the Gorgon is revealed as the abductor of Gotham's children. Realizing she's in over her head, Batwoman enlists the help of someone who has experience slaying beasts of Greek mythology, Wonder Woman. Together this all new take on the World's Finest travel the globe seeking answers and the location of Medusa before she has…
It's the final week of Villains month and it's filled with monsters. This week we'll be following the activities of Bane, Man-Bat, and Killer Croc as well as the Secret Society themselves but if you'd rather skip out on all of this Arkham War/Forever Evil build-up there's always Injustice: Gods Among Us! Here are the…
The League of Assassins is back yet again and this time they've sent Cypher, a cyborg, with a mission to abduct the scientist Jason Burr and use him to bring the Ion Cortex technology to Lady Shiva. Where Iron Monkey failed, Cypher aims to succeed. Also, Batman tries to teach Katana to overcome her emotions.…
Ra's al Ghul has lived for hundreds of years and witnessed the rise and fall of empires. Some civilizations have even crumbled at his feet. So how does the Demon's head react to the emergence of the Secret Society of Super Villains? Writer James Tynion IV proves with this issue that he gets the character.…
The only thing I hate about this series is that it makes me want to watch a show that I can't find. As I read Batman '66 I hear Adam West delivering all of Batman's lines, Ceaser Romero's laugh, creepy Vincent Price delivering egg puns, and, of course, I can hear the trumpets blow with…
This is a tough one to judge because it's without a doubt one of the most important villain books you can buy, but it's not exactly a well put-together comic in my eyes. It's a real mixed bag of a tale that perhaps tries to do and say too much in too few pages. Scarecrow…
I was really impressed with Batman Beyond last month but Justice League Beyond's unwillingness to take risks and focus on Superman made dragged down the overall quality of the comic. This month, however, both books pull their weight and deliver a very entertaining read from start to finish. Power Struggle: Ghosts of the Past We…
We have seen quite a lot of Clayface lately. Batman's shape-shifting villain has had multi-chapter stories in Batman and Batman: The Dark Knight (which is currently an ongoing story with quite a few more issues to go) and he's had several cameo appearances in everything from Detective Comics to Justice League! So how exactly does…
"Bullies" by Frank Tieri and Christian Duce is a pretty satisfying Penguin story for those who loved Gregg Hurwitz's portrayal of the character back in Penguin: Pain & Prejudice. It doesn't try and tie itself into the larger Forever Evil epic at all, in fact Gotham feels even more normal (or as normal as Gotham…
It's finally here, the big poll to decide it all! What is the Batman News community's favorite Batman cover of 1942? We've spent the past couple of months voting for the best cover from World's Finest, Detective Comics, and the Batman series but now we pit those stunning covers against each other. Previous winners are……
Welcome to Villain Month week 3 where we will surely see the origins of such villains as Ra's Al Ghul and Clayface, but for a slightly different look into the past we have the Adam West inspired Batman '66 available as well. However, if you'd rather look to the future than the past then there's…
