19 on James Tynion IV Interview SDCC 2016What follows is a complete transcription of the interview I had with James Tynion IV on Saturday July 23rd at the 2016 San Diego Comic Convention. While my interview with Tom King was very straightforward, my chat with Tynion devolved into nothing more than a couple of guys geeking out over there favorite character. When…
What follows is a complete transcription of the interview I had with Tom King on Friday July 22nd at the 2016 San Diego Comic Convention. Tom King was a delight to speak with. Funny, sincere, and exuberant. Before I even had a chance to speak, the man thanked ME for interviewing HIM. It usually goes…
This week's issue of Batman invites you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the origin story of Hank and Claire Clover. Or as we've come to know them, Gotham and Gotham Girl (or G&GG if you're writing an article). The story starts off with a couple and their young son walking down the street and…
Absolutely fantastic! Here we are at part three of "Rise of the Batmen", and the arc hasn't had a dud issue yet. So far, this has been the most downright enjoyable, engaging, well written, and beautifully rendered storyline to come out of Detective Comics in over a year. I can't say enough good things about…
Tom King takes it upon himself to introduce a new generation of Batman Fans to one of the oldest Batman stories ever told. And for that, I doff my cap to him. While I'm not 100% behind the idea of recycling and reusing past material, this book just presents way too many positives for me to…
On the very first page, we are greeted by this comment from Suren Darga. And I have to admit, it made me laugh pretty hard. Was this meant as a meta-comment by Ray Fawkes, or am I simply reading my own feelings into it? I'm not sure, but either way, I don't understand why this…
I'm kind of in awe at the level of perfection this issue actually displays. Admittedly, it's very sparse in the action category, but that's ok with me. What it lacks in heart-pumping-adrenaline, it's more than made up for with a copious amount of exceptionally well executed character developmental scenes. More so than beating up muggers…
Welcome to the review for Batman#1 by Tom King. (Or, if your keeping track, issue #766 for when this will eventually go back to the original numbers like Detective Comics just did). In the forthcoming series, King has promised to explore whether or not being a "normal" person without superpowers is really enough to save…
A couple of months ago it came to my attention that Gotham Academy was going to be co-staring in an upcoming mini-series alongside the cast of Lumberjanes. Having no idea what a Lumberjane was, I took to the Internet in the most briefest of searches to find out. Lumberjanes is a comic published by Boom!…
Ah...nostalgia. This story is definitely featuring plenty of blasts from the past, sure to make any longtime Batman aficionado feel right at home. But it's got a lot more than just that. It introduces us to the primary adversary for the arc, familiarizes/re-familiarizes us with the cast of characters, and has some nice action set-pieces. …
If you're like me, you've been waiting with bated breath for Rebirth to arrive. Last week, we got our first look into DC's new direction, in the form of DC Universe: Rebirth #1. And it was stellar! Rebirth #1 was a tremendous step in the right direction, but being the ever cautious skeptic, I wondered…
The final issue of We Are Robin is here, and it's a sad day. Without a doubt, this has been one of the most grounded titles in the Bat-verse in recent memory. When it started out, I was a little skeptical about the first several issues; but since then, it has developed into not only…
Do you hear that? That is the sound of readers, the world over, crying out in unison: Thank You Geoff Johns! Let me paint a picture for you. (figuratively of course. Not a Sistine Chapel rendering) Last night I went to bed, but after three short hours, I awoke and couldn't get back to sleep. …
Robin, Batman, Talia, and Maya in a race against time to stop Suren Darga from literally ending the world. Specifics aside, this is a story we have all seen/read a thousand times over. A group of heroes coming together in spite of their differences to save the world from a calamity it didn't even know…
We've reached the final chapter of the Yearbook story arc, which is also the final issue of Gotham Academy. While the book is being picked up again in 4 months, consequently meaning this isn't really the end, we still need to ask whether or not this was a worthwhile ending to the first volume of…
James Tynion IV will be taking over writing duties for Detective Comics as part of DC's new Rebirth campaign coming in June. I'm most familiar with Tynion as co-scripter along with Scott Snyder for the books Batman/Batman&Robin Eternal. To me, this seems like one of the first stories where Tynion is not only out from…
Here we are at the final issue of Detective Comics' run for the New52...but it doesn't feel like a final issue. This story has no time for reflection or introspection. Jim doesn't reminisce about the past or contemplate where the future might take him. This story is just straight up full-throttle action throughout. I'm actually…
Today is Dennis O'Neil's 77th Birthday! 77 years? Isn't that how long Batman has been around? Indeed. As a matter of fact, both Dennis and Batman came into this world in May of 1939. It's almost as if Dennis was destined to be one of the most influential people in Batman's history. When Dennis first…
The Gun... "Easy to get, easier to use. The problem with easy is always the same. You have no respect for it. You don't have to fight to earn it. Any superstitious coward can believe in its power. Stand on its shoulders and feel tall. But only the courageous stand in front of it defiant. …
This comic was an absolute joy! As the story unfolds, we are treated to dozens of callbacks to Snyder's previous work on the Batman title over the last 4 and a half years. If you're a hardcore fan, these echos of past stories aren't hard to recognize, at the same time, care has been taken…
