5 on Comic-Con: 'Beware the Batman' round table discussionI was invited to a special press event at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront where folks with cameras and audio recorders sat down at round tables and waited for members of the voice cast and creators of the new Cartoon Network show Beware the Batman to drop in. I had not done an event like…
LATE REVIEW EDITION I didn't have a chance to review this before I headed to Comic-Con, but I certainly hope many of you gave this new Digital First Series a chance last Wednesday. Wow! Talk about standing out from the crowd. If you feel like every bat-book is the same then you need to pick…
LATE REVIEW EDITION I was at Comic-Con last week so I didn't read this book until...ten minutes ago...ish. Seeing as how most of you have probably already made your decision as to whether or not you'll buy this one I'll keep things short and sweet. Yes, it's good. I never know what sort of quality…
Beware the Batman continues to be really entertaining and I have to say that I liked this episode even better than the last. I just got back from Comic-Con and made time before I crashed last night to sit down and watch "Secrets" on my DVR but while at the convention I was shown "Shattered" (I…
This is the life model decoy of Andrew Asberry. The real Andrew is still in San Diego conducting Comic-Con business or he's missing or dead. All of this was written 2 weeks ago. Here are the review comics coming out this week, July 24th, graded on a scale of Andrew's own anticipation. Hell no! –…
The first volume of the New 52 Nightwing's adventures relied pretty heavily on readers knowing all about the Court of Owls storyline going on in Batman. This volume still requires you know a bit about The Court of Owls, but rewards you for your effort with the best Night of Owls tie-in as well as…
The time for preparation is over. Batman is done globetrotting and recruiting new agents for the war with Leviathan. The war is here in The New 52 Batman Incorporated and with a story that takes place primarily in Gotham City and focuses mostly on the relationship between Bruce and his son, this volume has more…
I know I said I wasn't going to do any reviews this week but I have a few minutes free right now, DC sent me JLA #6 early and I was able to read it before I left to catch my plane (I'm in LA now and I'll be in San Diego for Comic-Con from…
Can't attend Comic-Con, but have a question you want to ask the talent? Want to see pictures and video from a particular panel? Maybe you're going to the Comic-Con already and just want somebody to hang out with! I am open to suggestions and you can contact me on Twitter: @AndrewBatReview. I'll be tweeting quite…
I have reviewed a lot of books since the battle for who owns Gotham ended. The Court of Owls' attack on Gotham City that dominated bat-comics for nearly all of 2012 felt like a distant memory when it came time to review Batman, Vol. 2: The City of Owls. So I went back and read…
This deluxe-sized edition is a celebration of all the Batman work that creative team Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso produced, but Azzarello doesn't get any credit in the title because this is about Risso's ink first and foremost. You'll quickly notice that all pages have been stripped of color to better showcase Eduardo's original work…
From now on I'm going to set this up to give readers 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. One part…
The annual Harvey Awards were announced this morning and the Batman series earned five nominations including Best Inker, Best Writer, Best Artist, Best Continuing or Limited Series, and Best Single Issue or Story. All voting is done by industry professionals but here is the complete list of nominees for you to discuss. Who do you…
This week promises a lot of variety, but sadly I won't be able to review any of these when you need them most. I'll be in L.A. on Wednesday before making my way down to San Diego for Comic Con. Here are the review comics coming out this week, July 17th, graded on a scale…
It exceeded my expectations. I think we all heard the collective groan when it was announced that Young Justice would be canceled and replaced by a computer generated Batman show featuring a gun-toting Alfred Pennyworth. This new Batman wouldn't fight alongside Robin, but instead would partner up with a younger version of Katana. Perhaps even…
The review is a day late and I'm sorry for that, but chances are you were going to pick this book up no matter what anyway, right? Secret City: Part Two is an excellent continuation of what we saw last month. The plot doesn't seem to be moving very quickly, but I think that what's…
Always a good one for the kids an usually an enjoyable read for the grown-ups too, Li'l Gotham is back again and this time the holiday theme is St. Patrick's Day and Easter. St. Patrick's Day This one has a an unusually high character count for being such a green-themed holiday. There's even a surprise…
New series writer Karen Traviss provides the video game inspired comic with an all new voice and a new direction. This is a very different Arkham Unhinged than you're used to and I'd say it's definitely something worth checking out if you're a fan of police procedural and enjoy a slow burn. Issue #16 is…
Trinity War begins and after two years of hype this better be good! Note: If you want to know the full Trinity War reading list, I made one and you can read it by clicking HERE. Well, I can say that Justice League #22 is definitely an important comic to read if you're a DC…
I have mixed feelings about Batgirl #22 but overall I think readers will enjoy it and it's a step in the right direction so I want to lean more on the positive. For one, it's got a funny opening that picks up where last month's issue left off. There's a knock at the door and…
