2 on What to expect: upcoming April comicsApril showers bring May flowers, but honestly who cares? April brings comics. 'nuff said. Try and keep 'em out of the rain! Here’s a list of all the Batman comics coming out this month graded on a scale of my own anticipation: None. – I’ll get to it…eventually – Eh…meh. – Bring…
If you liked how "Batman: The Dark Knight" #6 ended (with Bane gloating about how smart he is as he threw a big rock at Batman) then you're going to love issue #7 which starts off with Bane gloating about how smart he is as he throws a big rock at Batman. The cover sells…
The first 6 issues of this were all about showing how the team met and, more importantly, showing off how cool each individual member of the team is, but now that that's over and issue #7 jumps ahead to present-day, I'm looking for more depth. Other than the cover, Jim Lee is taking a breather…
The all-new Beyond adventures continue and just like last month, I'm breaking this into two separate reviews with separate scores. Batman Beyond: The Trigger Man Part 1 of 2: Reports of My Demise Written by Adam Beechen Art by Norm Breyfogle Colors by Andrew Elder If you didn't read "Hush Beyond" (and I wouldn't recommend…
I've always stood up for "Catwoman", but I'd be lying if I didn't say this one was a bit of a let-down. It's still fun and energetic, but none of the events of this issue are as exciting as previous installments. In fact, the whole purpose of this issue appears to be the introduction of…
Have you seen that episode of "Battlestar Galactica" where the Cylons show up every 33 minutes and they have a timer on board every ship and when the clock runs down they all freak out because the thing they fear and hate the most is about to come back? Well that's how I've been with…
It took a long time to get here but we finally made it. The final installment of the Saiko saga is here and it also directly connects to this week's issue of "Batman". In fact, the final pages of "Batman" and "Nightwing" are almost identical except this book's conclusion is taken from Nightwing's perspective. But…
If you're havin' comic problems, I feel bad for you son, I've written 99 bad reviews but Batman ain't one. Each issue of this book looks better than the last. I'm always amazed by the dark, moody atmosphere that Capullo, Glapion, and FCO have created. The unique, intricate design of every Talon soldier, the simple yet…
Just imagine how ridiculous this book's cover would've looked had there been only 13 knives sticking out of Batman's back and shoulders instead of 14! Seriously though, this issue is awesome. It's time to throw-down. No more flashbacks to Bruce's early days, no more student/teacher moments between Nobody and Robin, no more father and son…
I've enjoyed the New 52 "Batgirl" so far. Sure, the villains have been downright pathetic but I've found the book as a whole to be a colorful, charming, and fun read month after month. I never walked away from an issue of "Batgirl" feeling angry or cheated, but I have seen a lot of the…
If you weren't sold on Amy Reeder's art in the last issue, you will be here. The story on the other hand is not so hot. My advice for readers of "Batwoman" right now would be to skip the monthly floppies and wait for a TPB. The non-linear storytelling here is atrocious in my opinion. It was…
Amy Reeder, who had just taken over for J.H. Williams III on penciling duties for "Batwoman" last month will be leaving the title after issue #8. She'll be replaced by Trevor McCarthy, who you may remember as the fill-in artist for Nightwing #4. DC Comics announced this last Thursday on their official blog The Source but it…
2 pages. The Penguin vs. Batman showdown advertised on every cover of this series for the past 3 issues lasted 2 pages. This is a book that wants to be priced a dollar higher next month. No. No, I don't think so. Look, I'd love to buy a comic featuring the caped crusader drawn by…
I think it's the best issue since #1. Plain and simple. It's also the most important issue in the arc so far and features plenty of cameos by all your favorite members of the bat-family (except for Tim Drake who has yet to make an appearance in any bat title outside of "Teen Titans"...unless he…
March is my favorite month. We get the March Madness NCAA Men's Basketball tournament, St. Patrick's Day, my birthday is this month, and all of these comics are coming. Get excited. Here's a list of all the Batman comics coming out this month graded on a scale of my own anticipation: None. – I'll get…
I'll keep this review short and sweet since it's the final chapter of the 6-part Justice League origin story and there's no way that you've read the past 5 parts and are on the fence about buying the conclusion. Needless to say there's a lot going on here. The pace of this arc 6-months in…
It's become somewhat of a tradition around here for me to not really give a review for Odyssey as much as just explain what happens as it happens and voice all of frustration and confusion I feel page by page from this absolutely insane book. I've only ever given one issue of Odyssey a higher…
The Bruce Timm universe continues in "Batman Beyond Unlimited", the print debut of DC's digital comics "Batman Beyond" and "Justice League Beyond" unified under one futuristic title. See, what they're doing is releasing these books digitally over the course of a month so enthusiastic fans can watch the adventure unfold early. Then, at the end…
Now I know a lot of people are still going to get a kick out of this issue. Batman: The Dark Knight is a comic that anyone can pick up at any time. It's a book that casual readers will gravitate to because when they pick it up in the shop and flip through the…
The serialized misadventures of Selina Kyle continue this month in another great issue of this fun, energetic series. When we last saw Selina, she was swarmed by cops and was heading to the slammer. Like all other Catwoman issues it was a fine cliffhanger that planted this young crook in another sticky situation that left…
