12 on New 52 - Batman Inc #11 reviewHow to explain the craziness of Batman, Inc. #11... Well, it's a filler issue. I should say that first and foremost. It has nothing--absolutely nothing--to do with the story we've been following for the past 10 issues and could easily be skipped. It's instead a comic that would've fit far better in the Pre-New 52…
Judging by the cover, this looks like a big but predictable Justice League vs. Despero fight, right? Well, there's way more going on here than you might suspect. In fact, it's vital reading for fans of Justice League and Justice League of America (a very important read for that crowd) and a giant leap toward the…
You know this movie is for kids and I know this movie is for kids. So what better way was there for me to write a review than with the input of my very own 6 year old nephew? Following his kindergarten graduation, the boy and I watched it together and I'm happy to report…
Volume 1 of Duane Swierczynski's Birds of Prey was a tightly knit espionage thriller that I enjoyed, so I don't know what the heck happened between that and this! Your Kiss Might Kill is the very definition of half-baked, made up of ideas that are never played out to completion drawn by artists who never…
After seeing how popular Batman proved to be, DC not only made sure to include him in every issue of Detective Comics from this moment forward, but they gave him his own series in the Spring of 1940 in addition to his appearances in Detective Comics! Since the number of comics to choose from is…
There are quite a few Bat-titles coming out this week and two of them were voted by you as the MOST WANTED. Batman Beyond Unlimited, Li'l Gotham, and Teen Titans are getting thrown to the wayside, however. I'm lightening my load a bit so I can get to other things-- plus I've already reviewed Li'l…
Issue #20 "Flying Blind" is exactly what I needed today. The comics I've read so far this Wednesday have been pretty disappointing, but Nightwing is time well spent. For starters, this comic does a fine job of picking up where the last one left off,even the aftermath of the horrifying torture scene is addressed, but…
As you can tell by the score, I obviously don't recommend Batgirl #20. In fact, I pretty much hated it. Gore, magic, eidetic memory... there's a pretty long list of things I don't enjoy seeing in a Batgirl comic and they all show up here. When it comes to the artwork, there's nothing spectacular to…
I was so certain that when Tynion took over this book we would have something really amazing on our hands. Talon is loads of fun and, besides the Batman/Superman team-up in the last two issues of Batman, I have enjoy enjoyed his backup story contributions immensely. But his first arc in Jason Todd's comic seems…
There was way, way, way, way, way too much going on in this story for me to follow it across 12+ months of all-too-brief Batman Beyond Unlimited issues and I'm sure many of you either got lost like I did or didn't even touch this thing until it came out in trade. Well, the wait…
10,000 Clowns has been released in 3 different stages: a few pages every week online, printed in the Beyond Unlimited anthology series for a few pages more once per month, and all together in this printed trade paperback. If you were patient enough to wait for the trade paperback (15 months), then you made the smart decision!…
We're starting to see some noticeable delays this month. Issue #3 of JLA missed WTF month and wasn't released until last week, Batgirl missed its usual 2nd week release and will instead be coming out this Wednesday, and Justice League, which usually comes out on the 3rd week (but has suffered delays in the past)…
Easily the fringiest of the fringe Bat-titles is All-Star Western, starring odd couple Jonah Hex and Amadeus Arkham. Although it takes place during the 1800's, I take the time to review the graphic novels of this series because it's set primarily in Gotham City and often times adds new information regarding the history of Gotham…
THIS SUMMER BATMAN WILL FIGHT HE-MAN That's right! This morning it was announced that Eternia will clash with the DC Universe in a 6 issue mini-series by writer Kieth Giffen and artist Dexter Soy. DC Universe vs. Masters of the Universe begins August 28th and I've included the full announcement here: After narrowly escaping his last battle…
And so ends a fun and simple story with really amazing artwork. Part 2 of "Nowhere Man" gives us a Clayface who is quite the departure from the portrayal we saw just a few months ago in John Layman's Detective Comics. Clayface isn't sympathetic at all, but is instead a rather sleazy blackmailer. What does…
Remember how Talia placed a bounty on Damian's head and a whole mess of assassins jumped at the chance to shoot a 10 year old boy for five-hundred million dollars? Yeah... Batman didn't forget about that and now he wants Red Hood to tag along with him as they track down every last bounty hunter…
I once talked about doing a poll each week or so to see what everyone's favorite comic book cover was from all the monthly bat-titles. But why not go back even further? Why not vote on our favorite Batman cover from every year starting all the way back in 1939 and work our way up?…
As you may know, I'm not reviewing as many comics this month as I usually do. I'm trying to catch up on a big stack of graphic novels. There was a poll taken last week that decided the comics I will be reviewing and I think folks had quite a bit of fun with that.…
Tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day. Visit your local comic shop on May 4th for a wide variety of free comic books from all publishers. Shops in North America and all over the world will be participating and some will even have sales, raffles, games, and other festivities going on throughout the weekend. You'll find…
Seven years ago a friend of mine picked up a copy of Batman: Year 100 on a whim. He wasn't that much of a fan of Batman to begin with but said that he didn't care for Year 100 because he hated the artwork and found the story to be too confusing. But even with…
