11 on Upcoming Comics: November 28th, 2012Who's ready to take a break from Joker and all the Death of the Family shenanigans? I know I could use a breather and thankfully this week offers a nice vacation. You can take a trip to a possible future where Damian takes on the mantle of the bat, go on the offensive against Jonathan Crane,…
This was easily the best quasi-bat-title from Wednesday. However, the thing that made it good wasn't so much the Justice League side of it as it was the terrific Shazam backup. The backup was all about Black Adam adapting to a new era and wrecking lives and causing property damage in the process. Great artwork,…
Here's another quick Thanksgiving Day comic review! Is Nightwing #14 worth buying? No! Not at all. It's a boring and predictable issue. This two-part story was nothing more than filler while Nightwing's true creative team took a breather and recharged for the upcoming Death of the Family tie-in. How was it boring and predictable? Nightwing…
It's Thanksgiving so I'm making these reviews short this week. So we're getting straight to the point: Is Catwoman #14 any good? Yeah. Really? Because you said the last two issues were complete crap and book was probably worth dropping. Yeah, I know what I said and I stand by that. Issue #0 and issue…
I was pretty disappointed with this one after how good the Halloween episode was. Thanksgiving is a pretty weak holiday as far as entertainment is concerned anyway. There's Plane, Trains, and Automobiles and....well, that's about it. But that movie is funny as hell so I guess that's about all we need. Grumpy Old Men has…
Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti have been writing Jonah Hex stories for a good long while now but with the start of the New 52 they've mixed things up a bit by bringing Hex to the burgeoning city of Gotham and tying his adventure closer to Batman lore. He confronts the Crime Bible, partners with…
Joker comes after Selina Kyle, Nightwing must stop Lady Shiva, and the Justice League battles the apparently invincible Cheetah in this week's upcoming comics! Of course Red Hood & the Outlaws, Batwoman, and Birds of Prey are coming out this week as well but I typically don't review those since they are fringe bat-titles. However,…
Suicide Squad is one of those books that I sat aside and waited to read in trade only so as you can imagine I had no idea what was going on in this book outside of the Death of the Family tie-in stuff. So it's not going to be one of my best reviews because…
Want to take a break from the tension and the terror of the Death of the Family books but still want something Bat-related? Ame-Comi Girls is good for what ails ya. Now I don't keep up with the action figures/toys/figurines/statues etc. that are churned out but apparently there was one set of Anime-style super heroines…
Yes, this is a one-shot. If you buy it you won't have to worry about picking up any more. If you're played the video games you'll be right at home here and enjoy a single story with a beginning, middle, and end. And yes, the comic is $6.99. Now to the important business: is it…
Mmmmm Mmmmm! There comes a time when you get that rare comic that totally satisfies you like a good meal. You push yourself away from the table, pat yourself on the belly and say "I'm done." That's what Batman #14 did for me. I read it and was so thoroughly pleased that I didn't…
Well that's probably the best story this comic has had since issue #2. Sure, it doesn't flow very well, but the artwork is good and seeing a Killer Croc origin story is a refreshing change of pace and a good glimpse into the inner workings of the Arkhamverse, which is what this series promised in…
The first of the real Death of the Family tie-ins is a good one. Better, I believe, than any of the Night of Owls tie-ins. There's actually something at stake here for Barbara, an emotional weight to the scenes. What happens matters not only for Barbara but for the entire Death of the Family event…
Batman & Robin ain't what it used to be. I thoroughly enjoyed the "Born to Kill" saga featuring the villain Nobody, but it's as if this title just keeps getting worse with every issue since Nobody was defeated. I mean, this was a mess. A half-baked plot that rushes through zombies and a cannibalistic cult and then…
Sweet, fancy Moses! Seven? We have seven Batman related comic books coming out this week, folks. I don't know if I'll be able to get them all reviewed in one day, heck I don't even know if I'll have time to read them all in one day! We've got Batman #14 (which everybody is going…
Every Batman fan should add this series to their pull list. Seriously, there's no reason for you to not pick this up. It's a different creative team and an all new story (or stories) every month, all of which take place outside of the New 52 continuity so anything can happen! It keeps things fresh…
Probably the best depiction of Poison Ivy I've seen in some time. Yeah, that's right. It seemed from the last issue of Detective Comics like this one would be all about Penguin again, but Layman's Batman is always busy. Every night another rogue and while last night might have included a bit of a Penguin…
It may be the end of Judd Winick's run on Batwing but it's not the end of the Father Lost arc. Next month we'll see Fabian Nicieza take over writing duties on this series and I'll be sticking with it until then just to see how things go with a new creative team, but if…
Demon ninjas, a charitable Penguin, brainwashed cults, and an outside of New 52 continuity Joker who still has a face, these are the things on this week's Bat-agenda. Here’s a list of all the Batman comics coming out this week, November 7th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation. None. – I’ll get…
Let's take a break from Batman to talk about the best comics everyone read throughout the month of October. Obviously, I couldn't have read everything so I'm sure there's plenty that you all could recommend that I check out in the comments section at the bottom of the page. It's because of readers like you…
