0 on Batman: Arkham Unhinged #5 review (print copy)The second I opened this I knew I was looking at the best drawn issue of Arkham Unhinged yet. A great thing about this series is that we get to see a new artist (or artists) interpretation of Batman and the world of Arkham City each month. Good or bad, Arkham Unhinged always looks different. this month,…
With the #0 issues coming up, many titles will be concluding their story arcs this month. This week we'll see a one-shot about Parker Row, the end of Terminus, Batgirl vs. Batwoman, and fans of the Arkham City video game get an in depth look at the lives of Hammer and Sickle. Here’s a list…
Here's a pleasant surprise: Ya know how the solicits for this issue said that the backup would be a continuation of Two-Face's story, the terrible one Tony Daniel wrote in which Two Face wants to hold public office again, he's kidnapped by ninjas, and he fights a gangster with a conjoined twin on his stomach?…
Behold a review of yet another fringe bat-title. "Suicide Squad" (the first, if not the only New 52 title to go UP in sales rather than down) is one of those New 52 books that I neglected reviewing because I didn't consider it to be "Batman" enough. The bat-qualities of "Suicide Squad" are few and…
Much like the continent he has sworn to protect, Batwing is in constant need of aid. 6/12 covers have shown Batwing side-by-side with another hero and this week's issue features not only Batwing with Batman and Nightwing but the entire Justice League International as well (only August General in Iron is now called August General…
"Justice" was originally published as a 12-issue limited series between August 2005 and June 2007. I was busy with college at the time and had taken a break from comics so when I received a copy of "Justice" last week it was my first encounter with the story. I was immediately excited because I loved…
Upon setting aside my hatred for the Batman Incorporated concept, I actually enjoyed this book. It's fun. Some parts are smart, some parts are outright dumb, the art is almost always beautiful, and none of it is predictable. My Thoughts on Batman Incorporated You can skip this section if you want. Recognizing the looming threat…
If you've been reading "Justice League" then you know how those heroes are acting like a bunch of arrogant teenagers who won't take anyone's advice and slam their bedroom door whenever they come home from school. The world governments, uneasy about the Justice League's brash actions and closed-off behavior, have decided to enlist a group…
Blah. The first week of the month: a great week for comics, but a terrible week for Batman comics. It's the week we get "Sweet Tooth", "Swamp Thing", "Animal Man", "Ultimate Spider-Man" and more, but it's also the week of "Batwing" which has been very inconsistent and then there's arguably the worst bat-title of all,…
We may have seen a Dark Knight rise, but that doesn't mean that the sun has set on our time with Batman. "Batman: The Dark Knight" is the only Batman comic out this week (not counting the digital stuff) and with "Dark Knight" right there in the name, I'm sure a lot of new readers,…
I hate the way the Aurora shooting is being handled. I hate it because he's winning. And he isn't winning because he was clever, because he wasn't. I shouldn't know his name, I shouldn't know his face, his act of cowardice should not be given a fancy title for better headlines, I'm tired of seeing…
Wow. I honestly expected a big, overpriced picture book here to cash-in on the release of "The Dark Knight Rises" but I was way, way off. I can't stress enough how impressed I am with this book. It's astounding just how thoroughly it takes the reader behind the scenes of all three monumental films of…
I think that if you're not getting the full story, what's the point of buying a big graphic novel? There needs to be some kind of satisfying conclusion. If you're going to leave the reader hanging then you at least have to tie up one or two things so that there's a little closure otherwise…
"Batwoman" is easily the most beautiful book in DC's entire lineup. If you love comics more for the art than for the story then you would be a fool to not buy "Batwoman Vol. 1: Hydrology", it's as simple as that. J.H. Williams and Dave Stewart take special care to make every panel a memorable…
Catwoman's first New 52 adventure went straight to trade paperback, skipping the sexier-to-display-on-your-shelf hardback edition. It's available at a great price, it's a quick read, and I enjoyed it but it's definitely not for everyone. Here's the criteria: if you're uninitiated in Catwoman comics or you're just looking for a roller coaster ride rather than…
It's over. The Dark Knight rose. He, The Batman, has risen and although it will be some time before there's ever another movie, life goes on for Batman comics. For every great or terrible movie, TV show, toy line, and cereal Batman comics survive. Because they can take it. They're not the medium we... (you…
I must admit I was a bit worried going into issue #11. After 11 months of Court of Owls business doing yet another secret society storyline definitely didn't peak my interest, but I'm happy to report that Kyle Higgins is handling his own clandestine organization differently enough that this story feels fresh and 100% Nightwing.…
I always find it funny how anytime Batman takes part in a story with the rest of the DC universe, batarangs can do pretty much anything. In regular bat-titles, Batman rarely ever even throws these things anymore. Even in the movie "The Dark Knight" not a single batarang was thrown. Not one. But whenever Batman's…
As soon as I started reading the first page of this book one thing became abundantly clear: this will be much, much better as a collected trade. Sure, the weekly digital crowd gets to read this book pretty frequently but for the rest of us who wait a month in between each issue it can…
Inconsistent. That's how I would describe this issue. It's inconsistent in art as well as story, which is a shame because I wanted Winick's run on "Catwoman" to go out with a bang. Let's start with the artwork by Adriana Melo, who has filled in for March before but now March is gone for good…
