5 on New 52 - Nightwing #23 reviewDo you love the "Go Sports Team!!" banner at the bottom left-hand corner of the cover as much as I do? Anyway, the good news is that Nightwing #23 is very good. The bad news is that with Villains Month happening in September you'll have to wait until October to see the finale of this…
New series writer Karen Traviss is delivering a bigger Arkham story than we're used to seeing and giving Gordon some much deserved attention, but does is that enough to make a prequel to a 2 year old video game worth your $3.99? Last month saw the start of a new arc based around the idea…
This isn't just a fun comic book for kids and older comic fans that are young-at-heart, it's a great way to see new stories featuring elements that were lost in the New 52. The list goes on and on, really. It's as if Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs have been given free rein to pick…
Visually it's one of the most impressive comics you'll read this month, story-wise Scott Snyder's Zero Year has never opened itself up to more comparison to Frank Miller's Batman: Year One. In fact, if Red Hood One does indeed turn out to be the Clown Prince of Crime one day then Batman #23 will serve…
NOTE: I hereby declare The Phantom Stranger #11 the first necessary tie-in to the Trinity War event. JLA #7 will leave you scratching your head as to what exactly Batman, Katana, Deadman, and Phantom Stranger got themselves into. No, it doesn't play a vital role in this chapter's story but it might give you a…
Batgirl is Gotham's most wanted criminal, a young Bruce Wayne learns that he must become more than just a man if he wants to strike fear in the hearts of criminals, Trinity War continues to rock the DC Universe, Chicago crumbles under Nightwing's watch, and much more await comic book readers this Wednesday. Here are…
An unhinged ex-mob accountant named Humphrey Dumpler is sealing his victims inside life-size toy army men armed to explode and it's up to Batman and Lt. James Gordon to end his rampage. Directed by Rick Morales. Written by Michael Ryan. I first saw this episode at SDCC a few weeks back and I think that…
"What Happened Was..." is written by Paul Jenkins and illustrated by Omar Francia with colors by Rex Lokus. Jenkins is the former co-author of the New 52 Batman: The Dark Knight which he wrote alongside artist David Finch, but just as he was about to go solo with the book's writing duties Finch was reduced…
It's Trinity War tie-in time! Is it a good read on its own? Does it advance the Trinity War story? Is it worth your time and money? Trinity of Sin: The Phantom Stranger #11 is definitely the best of the tie-ins so far, it's not a terrific read on its own because you absolutely do…
"Bat and Mouse" by John Layman and Jason Fabok is another fine chapter in what's shaping up to be a really solid arc, but there were a few hiccups. These hiccups include a panel in which the letterer printed the wrong dialogue in the wrong speech balloons, a scene in which Batman is beaten down…
This series is on a roll when it comes to covers. The most recent 3 covers by Ken Lashley have been among the best from any bat-title. But does the content within measure up? First of all, what's going on with Bruce Wayne's Batman Incorporated? (Batman Inc. finale spoilers ahead) Something that's always struck me…
The score you see for Batman Zero Year: The Director's Cut #1 is the same score from Batman #21. Coming up with a grade for a regular comic book is already bothersome enough so I took the easy route on this special edition. Batman Zero Year: The Director's Cut #1 is a reprint of Batman…
It seems to me like Lobdell exited the wrong book. While I found both volumes of the New 52 Teen Titans to be abysmal, author Scott Lobdell's Red Hood and the Outlaws was one of the most fun Bat titles that I could find. With Volume 2 I was a little put off by the…
Around the time I reviewed this series last graphic novel everybody was bemoaning how sad it was that the Teen Titans comic book couldn't capture the same sort of magic as the Young Justice TV series. Now Young Justice has been replaced by Teen Titans Go! and this comic series still chugs along month after…
You have 3 weeks to vote and I’m dividing the poll into four parts. It’s only the 4th year of Batman’s existence but he’s already showing up in a whole lot of books and we need more polls to fit all the options. Part one decided the best World’s Finest cover of 1942 and now…
In case you missed Part 1 of Trinity War or loved it so much that you want even more, that book is being re-released in a Director's Cut that features the original pencils and full script. As for new stuff, we have yet another Trinity War tie-in, Batman fights the Wrath, Lady Vic makes her…
Bruce Wayne announces that he has hired brilliant scientist Dr. Jason Burr to work on the Ion Cortex, a device that could solve all the world's energy problems. The announcement also draws the attention of The League of Assassins and it is up to Tatsu to protect Burr from Silver Monkey, one of The League's…
Here's a question I'd really like all of you to answer: How many titles is too many for one person to read in a month? Or maybe I should ask how many titles you read in total each month? Ever since I started this Break from Batman thing I've tried to read as many titles…
Issue #7 breaks new ground that was untouched by the video game. It also illustrates a few distinct differences between the two universes that collide so that the idea of many of our heroes acting so out of character is more forgivable because these aren't the heroes we know after all. At first it just…
Unlike today's Batman Annual, Detective Comics Annual features not one but three short yet interconnected stories. And while Batman Annual started out as being from the perspective of a supporting character but quickly switched back to Batman, Detective Comics Annual is actually more about Jane Doe and Harvey Bullock than the Dark Knight! I wasn't…
