1 on Batman: Arkham Unhinged #2 review (print copy)Besides having one of the best covers you'll see in the comic shop today, "Arkham Unhinged" #2 is a great read that has plenty of action and adds quite a bit to the Arkham City story. If you're a big fan of Jim Gordon and feel that he was underused in the video game, then…
A welcome change in scheduling brings Snyder's "Batman" out a week early, more Owls attack Batgirl and Robin, and we take a trip back to the world of Arkham City... Here’s a list of all the Batman comics coming out this week, May 9th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation. None. – …
There's no better time to introduce your friends, family, or significant other to the world of comic books than Free Comic Book Day. Participating comic shops around the world will be giving out a selection of free comic books and, if your shop is extra cool, they'll probably have a big sale on all of…
Meet Alexander Staunton, the newest talon who might very well be THE most badass talon we've seen yet. This is the first book penciled by Marcus To and it also marks Batwing's contribution to the "Night of the Owls' crossover event. Put those two things together and you've got a great jumping-on point for new…
There are two comics taking part in the "Night of the Owls" event this week, but "Detective Comics" is the runt. An overpriced runt. Before taking my review to heart, however, let's make sure we agree on some things: Do you feel that Roman Sionis should be the Black Mask, a character that embodies the…
Owls, owls, owls everywhere! If you don't like owls then get the **** out. May isn't for you. This month almost all of the Bat-titles are participating in the "Night of the Owls" crossover event that began in "Batman" and "Nightwing" last month. I say "almost" all Bat-titles because "Batwoman" decided to sit things out.…
A funny thing happened while reading this issue -- I found myself interested in what was going on! Issue #8 is easily the best issue of "Batman: The Dark Knight" but that's not exactly high praise. I've found this whole series to be pretty terrible and the highest score I've ever given any issue is…
I would have to say that if you're a big fan of Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter, or Captain Marvel Shazam, then you should pick up this issue. If you're not, then you can probably skip it because the core Justice League don't do much at all here. This issue is more about advertising DC's other…
There's a lot of value here. For $3.99 you aren't getting the typical 40 page book that's 32 pages of central story and then an 8-page backup. With "Batman Beyond Unlimited" this month you are buying three even stories that take place in the Beyond universe. That's a lot of bang for your buck, especially…
Helluva day for Batman comics, everybody. Both "Batman" and "Nightwing" really brought their A-game this week. I'll even go so far as saying that I think #8 is the best issue of Nightwing so far! Note: I know it's a really great cover, and very tempting, but DO NOT open this book up until you've…
The biggest worry going into the 8th issue of "Catwoman" was the introduction of a new character called "Spark", a wisecracking thief with electrical powers. Well, I have some good news: he actually wasn't annoying. Do I still hate the idea of Catwoman pulling heists with a guy who shoots lightning from his fingertips? Yup!…
If a writer creates a scene in which Alfred does something surprisingly bad ass, I will almost always give that book a 10/10. The amazing thing about "Batman" #8 is that even if Alfred had just stood back and let Bruce handle everything, I would've still given it a 10/10. "Attack on Wayne Manor" should…
It's finally here. We've reached the end of Neal Adams' "Batman Odyssey", the best Worst Batman Mini-series Ever Made! And since it's such a ridiculous comic, it really isn't fair for me to grade it on the same 1-10 scale I usually use. Instead, let's recognize that "Batman Odyssey" is best read (it really should…
A new Batman Digital comic series will arrive online every Thursday beginning in June with stories that take place outside of the New 52 continuity. The creative team headlining this announcement is quite the powerhouse, too. One of the series' first issues will be written by "LOST" co-creator Damon Lindelof (he also co-wrote the upcoming film…
Calm, quiet, and absolutely stunning, "Batman & Robin" delivers a great finale to its opening 8-part arc and it's easily the best Bat-title of the week. Obviously, if you haven't been reading "Batman & Robin" you should stay away from this issue because you'll have no clue what is happening. It doesn't set up anything…
I knew things were bad when I put down the comic halfway through just so I could complain about it to a friend. Issue #8 is filled with some of the dumbest Batgirl moments I've seen and even while riding the coattails of "The Killing Joke" and "The Black Mirror" falls completely flat. But seeing…
I found the best thing about this issue to be the cover. It's a damn fine cover but everything that follows is terribly clumsy and almost unreadable. If you've seen my reviews for issues 6 & 7 then you know how I feel about the sloppy structure of this arc and it's just as bad…
As you may remember, I reviewed this book back in November when it was an online exclusive. Each week a new issue (1/3 of a regular print issue) would be released for 99 cents. Well, now there's a print copy that collects "Batman: Arkham Unhinged" 1-3 as one full-size issue that I'm sure everybody is…
I've found "Detective Comics" to be pretty terrible since the 2nd issue. The last arc was a definite low point in which nothing made any sense or had any real impact, and Penguin (who was shown on 3 covers in a row) never actively participated in the story until the final issue and even that…
It's a good day and a potentially bad day for Batwing and his fans. The good news is that issue #8 is well worth picking up. You won't be surprised, but you'll be thoroughly entertained. The bad news is Batwing is joining the cast of "Justice League International" as well as having his own book.…
