4 on New 52 - Detective Comics #21 review"Shadows and Ghosts" is an alright issue, but nothing you necessarily need to rush out and grab unless you're a particularly big fan of Harper Row. It's merely a brief stand-alone issue that comes before the upcoming Wraith arc. Still, it's a solid issue for Harper even if fill-in artist Scot Eaton tends to draw…
I am very excited to talk about these stories. The first one alone makes the book worth buying and the second is just icing on the cake. Plus, it's it features the best stories Catwoman or Scarecrow have had in quite some time. Must buy all the way. You don't really need to read anymore…
One month later, I'm reviewing Legends of the Dark Knight #8 in a special super-short article before jumping into this week's Legends #9. Of course, you don't need to read any previous issue of this series to enjoy the next! They all stand alone. I just felt like writing some little something to warm-up. "Carved"…
I really wish DC would stop with the cover copy. Batwing #21's cover is bad-ass and it would've looked a heck of a lot better without "THE WRATH OF LION-MANE!" crowding its way into the image. So we open the book up and remember that Lion-Mane is in no way as big as he looks…
I'm going to give a brief review of issue #20 before jumping into this week's Batwing #21 review. I think all the Batwing fans should appreciate that. Anyway, Batwing #20 is a terrific jumping-on point for this series as you get to experience the brand new creative team of Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray (they…
Batman and Robin, Vol. 2 has what is probably the most macabre looking cover to ever accompany the title "Pearl." This volume also happens to be, in my opinion, the low-point in an otherwise terrific series. Content Pearl collects issues #0, 9-14. That means you get: So why "Pearl"? My thoughts exactly. The pearl in…
Once again, we're voting for our favorite cover from the year 1940. I've taken the winner from the first half of our poll (Batman #1 triumphed with well over 50% of the vote) and thrown it in here to duke it out with these other fine covers. Keep in mind that you're not voting for…
First there was The New 52 with its relaunch of all new #1 titles in September 2011, then came Zero Month the year after that, and now we are getting Villain's Month! In Villain's Month, all 52 titles will get a ".1" issue with the series' main villain as the new, temporary headliner. For example,…
Batman/Superman may have been pushed back to the end of the month, but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of all new storylines to check out this week! Detective Comics is beginning a whole new story that appears to be a done-in-one comic, Batwing is very new-reader friendly since the new creative team is trying…
Now's that time when we all come together and talk about the most enjoyable reads of the month! I even included a couple of graphic novels that I think everyone should pick up! Punk Rock Jesus Vertigo This is the book I'm currently forcing on all of my friends. We've all had movies, books, or…
Judging by the books opening pages, you'd think that this would be another god-awful issue like pretty much everything else that we've seen since September, but it actually gets much better. Let me be clear: it gets better but I still don't recommend that you buy it. Ann Nocenti's Catwoman run is a risky buy…
Hey, it's that book I said I wasn't going to review this month! Well, I had to review the Annual anyway so I went ahead and read this one so I'd be able to follow along. Turns out, reading issue #20 wasn't totally necessary for grasping the complexities of the Catwoman Annual, who knew? If…
Some readers like an annual that's a stand-alone, done-in-one tale while others want it to be an extra long special that goes deeper into the ongoing story. If you're looking for an easily accessible, stand-alone story then I suggest you pick up Batman: The Dark Knight Annual #1. If you're wanting something that moves the…
I found the Dark Knight Annual to be a pleasant surprise. It starts off on Halloween night, that's right it's a Halloween special of all things! And the setup is a good haunted house trope that sees characters receive letters inviting them to a location on a dark spooky night, but when they get there…
After seeing this cover in the ads of nearly every comic book I read for the past 3 or 4 months I was eager to open this issue and just get the big reveal over with. Who is the new Batman? WHO? Would it be Jean Paul Valley? Dick Grayson? Terry McGinnis? Someone else entirely?…
With issue #4 hyped to be the big reveal of the Secret Society of Super Villains, you can be sure that there are quite a few New 52 firsts that happen in this comic. And while not all of the Secret Society emerges from the shadows to introduce themselves, those that do should excite old…
I'll keep this short and sweet since this book came out at the beginning of the month, but I figured I should write some little something what with the series double shipping this month after a 7 week delay from March to May. Issue #3 is a gate-fold cover coming out way behind everyone else…
If you try and buy every bat-title coming to comic shops this week, your wallet's going to get hit hard. Very hard. That's because most of this week's books are Annuals priced at $5 a pop! So it looks like it's my time to shine then, as I imagine most of you will want some…
Witness the resurrection and all new status quo for Talon! Surprisingly, this issue is actually a pretty good jumping on point for new readers, especially those who have been eyeing this series after all the Bane-hype. But I can't stress enough how fun of a series this has been from the start. If you haven't joined yet,…
Whoever writes the cover copy for these books should be slapped with a rolled-up newspaper. "PULLED INTO DARKNESS BY THE MAD HATTER" it says, and that might be okay if the vibrantly colored image this text accompanied wasn't Batman being pulled into the lit Batsignal, which is the biggest and most famous LIGHT in the…
