3 on New 52 - Nightwing #22 reviewI'll address the #1 concern first: the art. Almost everyone seemed to be in love with Brett Booth and Norm Rapmund's new look for the Nightwing series and there was a great deal of outrage when it was revealed in an interview that Booth and Rapmund would be abandoning Dick Grayson's adventure for the higher…
What's coming out this week? Almost everything apparently AND I hear Suicide Squad is performing well under its new creative team, too! With this many good-sounding books heading your way, your wallet may be taking a pretty big hit and July has hardly even started yet. Here are the review comics coming out this week, July…
It turns out I was saving the best for last and didn't even know it! "Targeting The Shield," marks the first chapter of an all new 3-part arc (I'm very happy to see a short arc for a change in any of the bat-titles!) and it's my personal favorite of not only John Layman and…
Batman, Inc. #12 delivers the big awesome fight scene we all wanted to see last month but didn't get. However, with only one issue left, you've got to wonder how the heck Morrison is going to wrap all of this up in a satisfying manor. There really aren't any big surprises in this issue nor…
This comic begins and ends with a great back-and-forth between Batman and Alfred. Writer David Tischman wrote some fun dialogue between the two that really made me smile. Heck, a brief 1-page scene in which Alfred suggests that he and Batman race each other home would've made an entertaining short story on its own. But…
Do you like really over-the-top sci-fi stuff in your Batman comics? Then you're going to like the new Batwing that Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray are writing. I thought that the series might pull away from the more fantastical elements that made up the latter half of Zavimbe's tenure as the Batman of Africa, but…
The prequel to Trinity War essentially sums up the events of FCBD The New 52 #1 and all of Pandora's meatier appearances throughout several other DC Comics over the past two years. If you've been keeping up with her story so far then this issue is likely something that you can skip but if you're…
To make DC's big summer event a little easier to follow, I put together this list of all the comics involved. I would also highly suggest that you catch up on all the first 5 issues of Justice League of America. Not only is it a fun book that plays an important part in Trinity…
It's part two of the poll to find our favorite Batman cover of the year 1941! Keep in mind that you’re not voting for what cover was the most important to Batman history! This isn’t a poll to see which comic was the biggest milestone. So even though I add some fun facts with a…
July, the month of Trinity War and the conclusion of Batman, Inc. This week we have the penultimate issue of Grant Morrison's Batman epic (well, there's a Special #1 coming out in August so it's not totally over after issue #13 later this month), the start of a brand new arc in Detective Comics #22,…
June is at an end and that means its time for us all to huddle together and talk about the best books we read this month! No single person can read every comic that lands in stores or goes digital-first on sites like Comixology and Thrillbent (most of the Thrillbent books are free, by the…
Six chapters down and Injustice: Gods Among Us is still holding my attention. It bears repeating that Tom Taylor's storytelling is much better than what was shown in the actual video game's cutscenes. Comics definitely have the advantage over fighting videogame cutscenes, however. With a fighting game you have to actually make time for fights--…
How big of a role does last week's Birds of Prey play in today's Talon? Not much of one at all. You don't need to read Birds of Prey #21 to read Talon #9. In fact, this whole crossover is pretty pointless and disruptive to what was shaping up to be a really fantastic arc.…
If you've been keeping up with the Shazam back-up stories from the start and love them then this is a must-buy. If you haven't been reading those then I suggest you hold off and pick up the graphic novel when it goes on sale in a couple of months because it really has been a…
Don't forget the milk! We have to get the milk! Catwoman #21 would actually have made an alright issue of No Man's Land, but with it taking place in the here and now I just found myself wondering where the police, national guard, and other vigilantes were. This place, The Badlands, gets obliterated! We're talking…
I'm going to be lenient when grading this one because it's only the first issue, but I was pretty underwhelmed. For starters, Batman/Superman #1 is a $3.99 book but you don't get the same amount of content for your money as you would with any of DC's other $3.99 titles like Batman or Detective Comics.…
I had a lot of fun reading this issue. It's loaded with smash-through-the wall fight scenes and groundbreaking revelations that will lead us into Trinity War all sprinkled with Kirby krackle. Now, the big thing we were all talking about at the end of last month's issue was the death of Catwoman. She got shot…
You have to ask yourself: Am I the kind of comic reader who is willing to buy a book for the artwork alone? If so, then Batman: The Dark Knight #21 is absolutely a must-buy. Ethan Van Sciver has been away for the past two issues and he also missed the annual but he came…
As usual, Injustice: Gods Among Us is fun to read but not too pretty to look at. Look, with the video game already out for, what? Two months now? It doesn't feel like reading a prequel comic to the game is going to be worth your time, but in all actuality this is quite entertaining…
It's a really exciting week. Really exciting. The origin of Shazam completes, a new series teaming up the Dark Knight with Man of Steel begins, Bane builds an army, the Mad Hatter gets his long-overdue just desserts, and then Catwoman is causing all kinds of drama both alive and dead. Batman Inc. may have been…
