3 on New 52 - Nightwing #6 reviewI'm starting to think I should drop Nightwing and pick up Red Hood & the Outlaws or Birds of Prey instead. I'm just so ambivalent about this title. There are just as many things I do enjoy as there are things that I don't and in the end it's fairly forgettable. I love Barrows' pencils and…
My expectations were awfully high going into issue #6 of Batman. To me a 10/10 comic isn't just one that's good-- memorable. It's one that I want to read over and over again. It's a book that I want to share with others. And I did. I talked friends into picking issue #5 up and…
It seems like there are two kinds of Batman & Robin readers, those who sit back and enjoy the book for what it's worth, and those who just want to whinge about how much they miss Grant Morrison's run. I'm having a blast with what Tomasi and Gleason are producing and the only thing that…
If Penguin: Pain & Prejudice was an ongoing series, I would read it. And the way that it ends, this 5 part mini definitely feels like it could have just as easily said "To Be Continued" as "The End".
No Bat-title has been praised more for its art than Batwoman, but today's issue is different. Batwoman #6 marks the beginning of Amy Reeder's run as penciler and everyone is wondering if she can fill the shoes of J.H. Williams. Well, in my opinion she has. Did she surpass Williams or equal his quality of…
This is one of those books that I got a lot of enjoyment out of when I first read it, but when it came time to write the review and really scrutinize things I found myself like it less and less. Enjoying Batgirl #6 is dependent on how much of an annoying fanboy you really…
Batman & Robin: Dark Knight vs. White Knight collects issues #17-25 of the previous volume of Batman & Robin. Unlike the 2nd volume which began in September with the New 52, the stories found in this collection feature Dick Grayson as a lighthearted Batman paired with a grim Robin. While Grant Morrison, who started this…
DC Comics' official blog The Source is reporting that Marcus To will be taking over penciling duties on Batwing as of issue #9. This is bittersweet news since Ben Oliver was a fan favorite and arguably Batwing's greatest attraction, yet Marcus To is also a beloved artist who will surely do the book justice and is…
What the heck did I just read? This is one of the most convoluted issues of any Batman title so far in the New 52 and has the 2nd worst line uttered by a character. The very worst line in any Batman book still belongs to…
Batman: The Dark Knight was selling well, but was under constant criticism for its writing... or lack thereof. The writing which has been handled by artist David Finch and co-plotter Paul Jenkins has been notoriously zany. The basic idea was to give the book a hyper, summer blockbuster feel that would set it apart from the…
When we last saw Batwing he was tracing a call made by one of Massacre's henchman. Alfred-of-Africa, Matu, declared that the call was made in Giza, Egypt and the book closed with a shot of Massacre walking toward a cliché postcard-like image of Giza—The Sphinx. In issue #6 we discover that Massacre is at the…
Here’s a list of Batman comics coming out in February graded on a scale of my own anticipation: None. - I’ll get to it…eventually – Eh…meh - Bring it. - TAKE MY MONEY
Batman: The Dark Knight should simply be called "David Finch's Art Showcase" as that is all it is. It's your chance to see one of DC's best artists draw as many A-list characters as possible in one 32 page book. This real highlight of this issue, for me, was the way he did Scarecow. He's…
Alright, let's talk about Justice League #5. The first delayed book in the New 52, part 5 was supposed to be on shelves last week. Was it worth the wait? Well, yes and no. It's exactly what I expected to get, but it's hardly the best bat book of the month (Batman #5), or the…
Here's something new we're trying out: a list of all the Batman related comic book news stories from the week. Be sure to voice your opinion on the following topics in the comments section at the bottom of the page. BATMAN, CATWOMAN, AND THE REST OF DC COMICS UNDER ATTACK BY FOXNEWS Notice how they…
Since I'm getting to this review late, chances are you probably already made your decision on whether or not you wanted to buy Catwoman #5. I look around now and see that most other sites have already given a review and they seem to be resoundingly lukewarm or completely negative. Which…I just don't understand. Too…
I read comics because I enjoy a good story. So seeing Dick Grayson punch a demon in Nightwing #5 or Batman punching Anubis in this week's Batman: Odyssey #4 doesn't impress me much. It's as if there are two kinds of comics in the super hero genre: those that try to tell a story and…
Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's Face the Court is a portrait of a hero struggling in his darkest hour. The Dark Knight has been trapped in a labyrinth for a week. His body aches, his armor is shattered; he is beaten physically as well as mentally yet refuses to accept defeat. Sustained only by a…
I have good news: issue #4 marks the first time in this series that I have not needed to take a break. No break at all! I read it the whole way through. Typically I find myself questioning my sanity or contemplating suicide halfway through a Batman: Odyssey, but not here. You could chalk it…
The Buzz Reviewing this book is a bit intimidating for me to be honest. I'm just a guy. I'm no journalist and I can confidently say that most of my readers probably know more about comics than me. I just like Batman. A lot. And I'm vocal about it. So when DC Comics agreed to…
