4 on Steve Orlando Interview SDCC2017What follows is a complete transcription of the interview I had with Steve Orlando on Thursday July 20th at the 2017 San Diego Comic Convention. BM: The lineup has you slated to talk about Supergirl, but I was hoping to talk with you about Batman / The Shadow. Is that ok with you? SO: Batman…
So far, I've given this book pretty much nothing but praise. Unfortunately, Batman / The Shadow #4 is about to break the stellar streak this book has been on (for me at least). It's not that anything in here is bad (well, maybe one little thing). It's just that, compared with the previous issues, this felt…
"The Ballad of Kite Man", HEL.... Hmm...? Is it too early in this review to start dropping "Hell Yeahs"? Na, I don't think so. "The Ballad of Kite Man", HELL YEAH!!!! If you've ever read any of my reviews, you know I'm a huge huge huge stickler for keeping the facts of the universe straight. …
This week in the pages of Detective Comics: Batman seeks the answers to all questions, Luke Fox plays Doctor Frankenstein, and Azrael goes nuts. ***Right up front, I'd like to inform everyone coming here to read this review that it doesn't follow the standard format that I usually adhere to. On rare occasions, I end…
Maps Maps Maps Maps Maps Maps Maps Maps Maps Maps. That's right! This issue is all about, the one, the only, the incomparable....Maps! So, if you are a Maps fan (like I am, and like I'm sure 90% of you out there are), you're going to have a great time with this issue. As the…
Yesterday, I read two comic books. One was Batman #26. The other was this totally generic comic that lacked even a hint of intrigue and resorted to a paint-by-numbers approach that eliminated any sort of unconventional storytelling elements. It's not that this comic was bad (although it does have one very bad part), but the…
Part two of "The War of Jokes and Riddles" is little more than a preamble to the main event. But can I just say, if the story is already this awesome and we are only in setup mode, well then, I believe we can expect some truly great things to come from this arc. Let's…
Batman / The Shadow #1....LOVED IT! Batman / The Shadow #2....LOVED IT! Batman / The Shadow #3....um, I kinda loved it. Now now now. Before you pelt me with tomatoes, I'm not saying it's bad. It's good! In fact, I enjoyed it quite a bit. I'm just saying it isn't as good as the first…
Previously in the pages of Detective Comics: The Order of St. Dumas has activated an A.I. program that will transcend the faults that all the previous Avenging Angels eventually succumbed to. Concurrently, Bruce Wayne attends a card game at the Iceberg Lounge in order to meet with Zatanna and enlist her help in a matter…
This was a really great issue. And I'm not even talking about the insane cliffhanger. (Spoilers, there's an insane cliffhanger.) I'm talking about everything leading up to it. Sure, some people are going to fixate on the ending at the detriment of the rest of the issue, and I think that's really sad. Especially when…
The warden threw a party in the county jail. The prison band was there and they began to wail. The band was jumpin' and the joint began to swing. You should've heard them knocked-out jailbirds sing. Let's rock, everybody, let's rock! Sorry. I know that's probably a dated reference that many of you won't get,…
Sigh... Four weeks ago when I was writing my review for Batman #21, which was the first part of "The Button", I said this: "After waiting so long, it’s somewhat disappointing to be given so little. We don’t really learn anything we didn’t already know and no real progression occurs. Ultimately, this comic is little…
This comic is a hoot and a half! I didn't really know what to expect going into this story, but I was quite pleasantly surprised with the outcome. The first thing that I noticed was that this story has detective work in it. It seems odd to have to call this out every-time it happens…
Olive is on the rampage in Gotham City tracking down people from her hit-list, and the kids of Gotham Academy are abandoning the school in droves. The fact that we are taking the story away from the school adds an entirely new layer to the narrative. That's not to say we haven't ventured from the…
Shiva versus The BatFamily! It's come down to this. A final stand, with the victor deciding the fate of Gotham. Let's get to it... Instead of speaking vaguely about the content of this particular issue, I've decided to go full-on spoiler with it. So, if you haven't read this comic yet, you probably don't want…
Here we are with part 3 of "The Button", a continuation of the story that began 11 months ago in DC Universe: Rebirth #1. We've already seen an epic battle between Batman and Eobard Thawne in the pages of Batman #21, and Batman and The Flash traveling across the boundaries of time and space to…
Bane: Conquest is a 12 issue maxi-series bringing back Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan to tell the further adventures of the character they helped create, BANE! And let me tell you, when I first heard about this, I was excited beyond belief. Dixon has had his fingerprints all over the Batverse. If you look back…
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? This comic definitely depicts one of the better interpretations of Batman that I've seen in quite some time. At its heart, this story is a murder mystery, which fits perfectly with both the title characters. Throughout the course of the story we see Batman doing…
It’s been 11 long months, and I’m sure that many of us have been patiently waiting for DC to continue the story that began in their epic DC Universe: Rebirth #1 which premiered last May and kicked off the entire Rebirth label. Last week, we finally got a glimpse back into this narrative in the…
Shiva has been systematically capturing the entire BatFamily. Now, she has a thermonuclear device set to detonate on a major fault-line running underneath Gotham. With only Cassandra remaining to foil this dastardly plan, will she have what it takes to confront The League of Shadows and triumph over Lady Shiva, or does this spell certain…
