28 on Batman #37 reviewBatman #37 is all about the comedy. If you're looking for crime fighting and super villains, you won't find that here. As the title on the cover implies, this issue features a double date between DC's two most prominent power couples. But where oh where does one go on the rare off-night from busting heads…
Detective Comics #970 primarily focuses on Tim Drake overcompensating for his prolonged absence, Clayface trying to cure his "condition", and...a truckload of Cyber Assassins?!? Tim's story revolves around him basically trying to do everything. Almost as if his most recent ordeal has turned him into an obsessive-compulsive mirco-manager. While it's nice to see Tim happy…
Batman is engaged...and he hasn't told his bestest bud Superman yet. The issue consists of both Lois and Catwoman trying to get their men to call the other. In turn, Batman and Superman tell their significant others why they haven't, and then proceed to discuss the other man's defining characteristics. That's pretty much the gist…
Batman and Catwoman. How did they meet? How did they eventually come to fall in love? And what's mouse poop got to do with it? In Batman Annual #2, King brings us his vision of the way things were and other things that have not yet come to pass. The majority of this tale takes…
Stephanie is back on the team, politics once again put Gotham against Batman, and the villains are amassing to counter Batman's Gotham Knights. All this and more in this week's chapter of Detective Comics. As our story opens, we learn that Gotham has a new mayor. And, naturally, the first thing the press wants to…
In the last issue of Batman, we were left with a cliffhanger that teased a climactic sword duel between Catwoman and Talia Al Ghul....and that's exactly what this issue delivers! This isn't the only similarity between their fight and the one from Robin Hood. It's just the one I choose to highlight. If you don't…
Batman and Catwoman enter a forbidden zone and are met with opposition in the form of Talia Al Ghul. Being one of the Dark Knight's former lovers, Talia seems to be taking offense by the recent engagement of the happy new couple. And as most things in comics go, internal turmoil is resolved by external…
There are far more individuals that watch comic movies than those who read comic books, and this is a statistic that I would like to see change. With that in mind, "This Week in Comics" is getting an overhaul to cater to the movie-going audience, encouraging anyone who has never opened a comic in their…
You want an emotional feel good hug-fest? Well, look no further. Detective Comics #967 delivers the goods in some major ways. But nothing is ever perfect, so I'm just going to put my biggest gripes up front and center before we move on to the positives. During the course of this story; Future Tim has…
While I wasn't super impressed with Batman #33 in its entirety, I'm very intrigued to see where the story is headed. Talia Al Ghul has been a love interest of The Dark Knights since the 1970s, ranging anywhere from genuinely endearing to fairly antagonistic. At this point it isn't entirely clear what route writer Tom…
Whether I love what King is doing or hate what King is doing, there is always one thing that I find consistent in his work, and that is his penchant for taking things in directions I simply didn't expect. If you are one of the individuals that reads solicitations, you've know for awhile now that…
To be honest, none of the comics we covered this week were home runs or anything. Even the best of the bunch only took top spot because nothing else stood up to challenge it. But I'm actually happy I have a chance here to highlight Red Hood and the Outlaws. While this particular chapter isn't…
Rock'n Roll, seedy dim lit bars, jukeboxes, and more characters throwing up the sign of the horns than you can shake a stick at. With the first two issues of Metal, we were introduced to the mystery of the Dark Multiverse, and the rock/metal connotations seemed like little more than a clever marketing scheme that…
Usually you'd see a title like that and assume it's just click-bait, but in this rare instance...it's actually true. Want a few more details on what went down? Check out the review for Batman #32. Now, lets take a look at this week's comics in descending order from highest to lowest scored. Batman: White Knight…
Did Selina say, "Yes". Did Selina say, "No". That's probably the biggest question on everyone's mind right now. But before we get to that, we need to evaluate the rest of the issue. In my last review, I brought up the fact that it felt as if the story was being spread out. As if…
Detective Comics #965 I sat down and opened this issue to the very first page, and going no further than that, I already felt in my gut that I was holding something special. Something that hand been painstakingly crafted with love and an attention to detail that was not to be underestimated or underappreciated. -Brandon…
Detective Comics #965 is essentially a love letter to Tim Drake and I'm completely, absolutely, and utterly on board with that. I sat down and opened this issue to the very first page, and going no further than that, I already felt in my gut that I was holding something special. Something that hand been…
This story no longer makes any sense. What started out as a simple detective/thriller/noir story has devolved into super-powered inter-dimensional aliens. Although, to be honest, I don't have a problem with the inter-dimensional aliens/"Teachers". What I have a problem with is that the rules this world is governed by aren't adding up. The story starts off by…
Harley Quinn #28 Amanda Conner’s beautiful cover alone is a selling point for this issue which will kick off Harley’s race for the mayor’s office. But the innards in this book are fun too, as always. Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti balance a somewhat cracky caper with further plot advancements concerning Harley’s ongoing way with the…
This issue is pretty straight forward and predictable, which isn't something I've come to expect from King. Even when I've disliked a route he has chosen to take, it's still been fresh. He's also typically shown himself to be much more about exploring ideas instead of straight up offering a story that revolves almost entirely…
