7 on New 52 - Justice League #12 reviewThe good news is this is a great jumping on point for new readers and there will be quite a few since the whole Superman/Wonder Woman kiss seen both on the variant cover and in countless news articles is being widely publicized. The bad news is that the nice 3-page recap of what's happened so…
Like I said last time, this series isn't new reader friendly, it’s not even consistent reader friendly, but I think it’ll be pretty damn fun when it comes out in a hardcover or trade paper back down the line–especially the Superman Beyond segments.
In 1933, Milton Finger, weary of signs that read "JEWS NEED NOT APPLY" changed his name to Bill. His lifelong dream was to be a writer but like many living in the Great Depression, he would gladly settle for whatever employment he could find. However, in 1939, a chance encounter with another artist gave him…
I won't spend too much time writing this article because I already feel like I've wasted enough of my life on this issue just by reading it. It sucked. The first half is unbearably boring and the second half is just plain stupid. Now I'm out five bucks amd I'm not happy. The annual is…
In other "Big News I Missed By Being Away For A Week" news, DC has announced a brand new series written by Geoff Johns and drawn by David Finch titled Justice League of America. This news series fills the void left by Justice League International which had its last issue today, an annual. Both Justice…
So here's some big news that I missed out on by being away for a week. Newsarama talked with Judd Winick and learned that he will be exiting the Batwing title very soon: It’s with a heavy heart that I announce that I’ll be leaving the DC monthly Batwing. I’ve had a terrific time on…
There's a holiday for pretty much everything nowadays. I think there's a "Talk Like a Pirate Day" and even a "Walk Like a Dinosaur Day" or something. So two years ago Brian Heater and Sarah Morean of the website The Daily Cross Hatch started a holiday based around comics. Read Comics in Public Day is…
An army of Jokerz, the reveal of Aquagirl's origin, a Black Mask beat down, and a much publicized super smooch are all on the agenda. Here’s a list of all the Batman comics coming out this week, August 29th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation. None. – I’ll get to it…eventually …
Worth the wait? Yes. As I said in the Upcoming Comics article, I love the idea of Matches Malone. I think he's the most underused weapon in Batman's arsenal. I wish Batman would infiltrate the mob and sniff around Gotham's underworld more often in this alter ego or any disguise, really. It's just cool to…
Last issue wrapped with Batman running at the front door of a villain's hide0ut like an amateur. He took some buckshot to the chest, fell back, and into a hole in the front yard that led to a mine shaft or something. I thought it was a weak finale to a mediocre issue and was…
That controversial issue of Batman Incorporated comes out this week and Batman: The Dark Knight gives us Jonathan Crane's New 52 origin story which could end up being controversial itself. Here’s a list of all the Batman comics coming out this week, August 22nd, graded on a scale of my own anticipation. None. – …
Knightquest or "The Adventures of Psycho Replacement Batman" definitely isn't for everybody but it's an important installment of Knightsaga nonetheless. It's not as epic as the previous installment. The focus is on how different Jean Paul Valley is as Batman and how he grows more vicious and mentally unstable with every Gotham night. It's…
Let's catch up! The last issue ended with Paragon killing all of his henchmen with whips stolen from the set of Iron Man II. All alone now, Paragon turned to Detective Nie with an offer of some kind. Detective Nie believes that Nightwing killed two cops, one of which was Nie's lover, but that crime was…
Well, it's over. Winick's run is at an end. Overall I liked the work he did on Catwoman but this wasn't a very satisfying end to his tenure. I was pretty bored to be honest. I already listed many of my complaints in the last issue's review as to why the story was falling apart…
Everything I know about Batman I learned from Batman: The Animated Series and Knightfall. I grew up in a town of merely 200 people. When the comic book vanished from grocery store racks across the country to be sold almost exclusively in niche comic shops I was left out in the cold. For years…
It's the 3rd week of the month which means it's time for all the bat-titles that don't actually star Batman. It's also going to be a pretty easy review week for me since I only cover Birds of Prey, Red Hood and The Outlaws, and Batwoman in trade format now. This week, we get the…
If you've seen The Dark Knight Rises then chances are good that the way you read Bane has changed forever. I know there was an odd battle going on in my head as I read Bane's lines. When his mask was off, I would hear the voice of Henry Silva, but when the mask was…
So the best issue of any bat-title since the release of The Dark Knight Rises is actually about a teenage girl. Can't say that I saw that one coming but I'm happy at least something good has come along. With interest in Batman at an all time high right now due to the recent movie,…
It's an okay issue that reads fast and comes with a cool, poster-worthy cover. But it's also an issue where I found myself saying "Yeah, this is definitely going to read better as a trade paperback." The reason for this is that this issue ends in a major cliffhanger and you're going to have to…
Well that was a very well drawn issue of Iron Man. Seriously though, Gleason and Gray provide some pretty fun and highly detailed imagery here and the issue is action packed. One panel of Batman and Robin ready to throw their batarangs was especially cool, but Gleason and Gray's talents are wasted on this comic.…
