4 on New 52 - Batgirl #5 reviewBrace yourself for the retconning! Following the fun but unsubtle Mirror saga we have a Batgirl who has regained her confidence. She's prepared to face the scum of Gotham and a new villain head-on but isn't quite ready to sit down for a chat with her aloof mother. The new villain is an attractive woman…
Love him or hate him, Damian is here to stay. This character’s headstrong, dark, overly mature demeanor has brought about criticism for being too similar to the “bad” Robin Jason Todd, but his disturbing background has never been addressed seriously. Under Grant Morrison, the character’s creator, the bat family regularly poked fun at Robin’s…
There is NO reason for you to spend $2.99 on this comic. Why? For starters the first 5 pages of this comic are online as a free preview. 5 pages. Free. Not out of the ordinary, previews are quite common. Well, in the case of "Detective Comics" #5, those 5 pages make up 41.67% of…
After reading the latest issue of "Batwing" I still don't know how I feel about this title. For every likeable element to this story there is something else that's either horribly distracting or derivative. But in the end, it feels like there's more here to complain about than to praise. What did I like about…
Part 1 was a breathtaking look into Penguin's past as an abused child and his present as a brutal mob boss, part 2 went even deeper into Penguin's psyche and how he grew more cunning and vindictive with age and it was equally as good, and then there was part 3 which I wrote off…
Here’s a list of Batman comics coming out this month graded on a scale of my own anticipation: None. - I’ll get to it…eventually – Eh…meh - Bring it. - TAKE MY MONEY
We're all looking forward to The Dark Knight Rises in 2012, but what about the great Batman stories from 2011? We had amazing stories that built upon the Batman mythology in film, TV, comics, and video games this year and thanks to your input on Twitter, Chris and I have narrowed down the year's best Batman…
Rather than walking away angry or annoyed like I did in the previous issues of this series, I actually enjoyed part 4: Welcome to the Jungle. Perhaps that's because I'm finally getting into the right mindset of this comic, much like how it took me a while to warm up to the supernatural Batwoman series.…
The final two issues of Batman Incorporated are finally here after months of waiting. Was it worth the wait? Yes. Did DC handle the publishing of these two issues well? Absolutely not. And that’s “Leviathan Strikes” biggest failing. It’s not the art and it’s not the writing, it’s the publishers fault. The hiatus between terrible…
What a wonderful month this has been for Batman comics. I've given out quite a few 9s and eve a 10, already. And now what has become each month's main event: Snyder & Capullo's "Batman" which has consistently delivered the goods every issue. You'd be hard pressed to find a team that's writing and art…
Nightwing has been a reliable book month after month—not great, not terrible. Just okay. The potential has always been there though. Author Kyle Higgins had Dick inherit the circus, get hunted by an assassin, and now he's unearthing a mystery as he tours the States with the rest of the carnies—and fights local baddies along…
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM If you liked reading things like that, then you're gonna love Justice League #4. If you're in the market for a funny, action packed comic with plenty of glorious splash pages full of shattering earth, jumping great white sharks, and fiery explosions then The Justice League have got what you need.
To get things started, allow me to quote the thoughts that one of the Batman-News community had on issue #3 and his concerns about what was to come in today's Catwoman #4. I felt that Israel Riviere really hit the nail on the head: "…what really bugs me is that, despite the fun I am…
If you saw the cover of this week's Batman Odyssey and said to yourself "This looks to be the best Batman story, yet!" do society a favor and don't breed. Let's break down what happened recently before we dive into this issue. When we last saw Batman he was explaining the crackpot "Expanding Earth Theory"…
Good news for international readers and those looking to catch up on the last few years of Batman comics! ComiXology is having a sale right now on Batman comics. We're talking classic Alan Grant stuff, issues from Greg Rucka's run on Detective featuring Batwoman, every issue of Scott Snyder's "The Black Mirror", and more. All…
This might very well be the best Arkham Unhinged issue, yet. And if you haven't read any of the other stories or are unsure about digital comics in general, this is a great way to dip your toe into the waters so to speak because #10 is a standalone issue. So what's the story here?…
It appears as though Arkham Unhinged's 3rd story arc was also its most forgettable. This chapter has the Joker parading his troops in an actual parade through Arkham City. A fun idea that wasn't used to its full potential. This was a great opportunity to give the reader a tour of Arkham City pre-video game…
Once again, I feel I should apologize for not getting these reviews out sooner this week. Especially if you were waiting to read a review for Batman & Robin before you dropped $3 on it. The only problem I have with Batman & Robin #4 is that Damian names his dog something other than "Ace".…
I've really been neglecting my comic reviewing duties this week since work has really picked up. Plus, I’m going to be leaving for The Dark Knight Rises trailer screening (Mission Impossible 4) in an hour so…it's been a bit hectic. Nonetheless, the comics I have had a chance to read this week have been good,…
It isn't possible to get used to the level of breathtaking artwork that J.H. Williams produces month after month. He shifts styles depending on whether Kate Kane is in the costume or out and both renditions are gorgeous. He's always finding new ways to lay out the panels that aren't cluttered or confusing, but just…
