22 on Upcoming Comics: February 20th, 2013This week we have an all new Justice League series starring Catwoman, the original Catwoman series starring someone that looks like Catwoman but acts like they've been huffing fumes, and there's plenty of "Death of the Family" fallout coming our way as well as some Beyond universe stuff! It's a week of endings and beginnings.…
Jonathan Glapion, the inker of Batman since issue #1 recently announced on Facebook that he will be leaving the title. So Long Bat fans you've all been very kind to me. Not exactly the most moving farewell address in the world, but I'm crestfallen none the less. There has been no official announcement from DC…
We're on a roll here people! Tomasi's hot! Hot! Batman and Robin #17 is yet another terrific issue that's brimming with delightful character moments. Who needs another super villain plot when you can get something you never see in the other bat-titles (especially right now): The characters acting happy! READ THIS COMIC AFTER BATMAN #17…
The solicits I saw for this week's Upcoming Comics article were wrong and now is indeed the time for Ray Fawkes to begin his two month stint on Batgirl. As you'll recall, there was a big controversy in which Gail Simone was fired via email. Her fans rallied loud enough that DC brought her back…
I'm feeling rather tuckered out after writing the massive 6,700 word The Dark Knight Returns review and today's Batman #17 so expect for the rest of today's reviews to be pretty short and to the point because this guy needs a break from Batman. Batman: Arkham Unhinged continues to improve in quality with issue #11…
Let me just say right now that while I'm going to try and hide as many spoilers as I can, if you're definitely going to buy this comic no matter if I give a 1/10 or a 10/10 then you should just hold off on reading any reviews until after you've read the comic for…
It's not as uneventful as the Thanksgiving special, but I found Li'l Gotham #5 to be quite skippable as a Holiday Special. In case you forgot, this Thursday is Valentine's Day and like the previous 4 holidays we get a fun, chibi-style Batman story available online to help us celebrate. The story this time around…
I'm back again to give you another break-down of a DC Animated feature, the second part of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. For all my thoughts on Part 1, just click here. I'll be starting out this article with a brief spoiler-free overview so that the majority of you good folks get the gist of…
It's the end of Death of the Family. That's pretty much all you need to know. Call ahead to your comic shop and make sure they have your copy of Batman #17 ready because this thing is going to sell-out quick. If all the other comics that come out this week are good then that's…
To Drown the World tried to go for the non-linear narrative but failed. It was really disorganized and with the month-long gab between each issue I simply couldn't keep track of what was going on in the story. And since Batwoman is basically a bat-title in name only I decided to "trade-wait" this title. So…
Volume 4 is a rather sloppy finale to the No Man's Land saga. It never quite builds enough momentum and often repeats plot points over and over again verbatim because the story was told in multiple titles that are all collected here. That gets pretty annoying pretty fast. However, volume 4 also features some of…
ComicBookResources had quite the exclusive yesterday with their big interview with DC Comics Editor-In-Chief and Bob Harras and Editorial Director Bobbie Chase. In the interview we learned that a few books will be getting scrapped this May and that some of our Bat-titles will be getting annual issues and entirely new creative teams.
You may find yourself at Batman-News.com You may find yourself scrolling through the comics section You may find yourself looking for Andrew's humorous fanboy rants You may find yourself in an article about "Young Romance" You may ask yourself, well, how did I get here? Well, it turns out that there are quite a few…
The main story is really predictable and it's sort of a waste of a good character design, but the black humor of the backup makes up for the book's shortcomings to make for a pretty entertaining read. It won't take you long to figure out who the Merry Maker is and I imagine that unsurprising…
Many readers might pick up this noir-style short and not give a second thought to the hard boiled private detective who is taking the limelight from Batman. Others might wonder if they should know who "Slam Bradley" is or if he's a new creation from writer Joshua Hale Fialkov and artist Phil Hester. While Slam isn't…
Last issue, new series writer Fabian Nicieza made great use of the world that Judd Winick had established. This issue, he builds on that world by adding a few new villains and we may even see some changes to the Batwing armor if the debut of Channel 52 news is any indicator. I read this…
The comics section of Batman-News continues to be ridiculously busy as even more graphic novels come out and 3 regular issues hit shelves. This week, Batwing fights someone called Sky Pirate, Batman confronts the League of Smiles, and Black Mask makes an appearance in Legends of the Dark Knight! Here’s a list of all the…
You didn't see this review coming, did you? Batman: The Lazarus Syndrome is a radio drama released that originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4 back in 1989 to celebrate the Batman character's 50th anniversary. This multi-cast performance piece is produced by AudioGo and is available for download on their website at £1.49 or you can buy…
I spent January reading the first volume of a new classic horror series from IDW and I also lost 2 of my favorite monthly comic book series, but man did they have good endings! In case this is your first time reading a "Break from Batman" article, let me tell you what it is. I…
Heartwarming in every sense of the word, Batman & Robin Annual #1 is worth every penny! No, you do not need to have read any other Batman & Robin comics prior to picking this one up. Yes, it is a complete story in one oversized issue. Yes, it is a great example of visual storytelling…
