2 on Break from the Bat: Sithrah, Book One: Kingdom of the Air reviewWhat is a children's story? Is it a watered-down view of the world, told through watered-down prose? Does it soften the edges of reality in an attempt to preserve the innocence of the young? Jason Brubaker may not have set out to write a children's story, but I would contend that he has; and, in…
If fighting possessed Outlaws was hard, how on earth can Batman and Wonder Woman hope to take on Superman possessed by Deadman possessed by...Circe? A pit? Whatever it is, it’s mean, and things only get meaner in Trinity #14. SPOILERS AHEAD I don’t love it... This arc has been challenging for me from concept. I’m…
It all ends here. In this, the final issue of Bryan Hitch’s run on Justice League, we see the culmination of over a year of storytelling. Does the conclusion of “Legacy” redeem this run, or is it guilty of the same flaws that have plagued the issues that came before? Read on to find out!…
When I read Batman: White Knight, I immediately noticed a striking difference between it and pretty much every Joker-related book I’ve seen in the past few years: Joker’s dialogue was set in the same font as everything else. Whereas other recent stories have made use of crinkly, Jokerized fonts, letterer Todd Klein chose to use…
Scott is never free What is real in Mister Miracle? I’m not sure anyone can say. Perhaps it will eventually become clear. Perhaps Scott will live up to his reputation and escape this, his most intricate trap yet. We shall see. In the meantime, we can only watch him plod across the long, slow distance…
Crime in Gotham is no more! Bolstered by Bizarro’s new-found intelligence, the Outlaws have cleaned up the streets. But when Gotham’s other protectors launch an investigation to figure out why, things get a bit more complicated for our heroes. “Bizarro Reborn” continues, in Red Hood and the Outlaws #15. Spoilers ahead Not my preferred approach...…
Who made the Batmobile? Why did Robin have chain mail over-underpants? Where is the secret entrance to the Batcave? These are just a tiny few of the myriad questions answered in Joseph McCabe’s 100 Things Batman Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die, out October 15 from Triumph Books. A thorough study On the…
With the theatrical release of Justice League coming up fast, I thought it would be a good time to look at some of Funko’s new Pop!s for the film. They graciously provided some for review, and even threw in some Dorbz for us to check out, as well. I’m still on the fence about some…
What if the Joker wasn’t crazy anymore? What if the brutality of Batman became too much for his beloved city to accept? Sean Murphy’s Batman: White Knight #1 is at last here: a gorgeously-illustrated, well-written start to a series that may well become a defining moment in the history of the Dark Knight. Spoilers ahead…
Who is the mysterious Sovereign? What is her connection to the League? Why is Arthur her man-wench? Is Wonder Woman really the cause of everything that will be bad in the world? Justice League #30 answers some of those questions, and I’m here to tell you how it does. WITH SPOILERS! Love it or hate…
What if the indomitable will of Bruce Wayne, rather than promising to avenge his murdered parents, instead received the most powerful weapon in the universe and possessed the ability to avenge them on the spot? Would premature access to such extraordinary means corrupt the grieving young Bruce, or would it make him the ultimate force…
Love it or hate it, no one can deny Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice one of its greatest achievements: a cinematic Batman aesthetic that is unashamed of its comic book roots. Prior adaptations almost unanimously favored all-black suits made of armored or rubberized materials, resulting in costumes that may have cut a nice silhouette, but…
Perhaps a day is coming when the world—and I along with it—will grow tired of the Funko Pop! craze. But that day is not today, because today, I have a box full of vinyl from Batman: the Animated Series, and the notion that such things could ever outlive their usefulness seems ridiculous at the moment.…
Hungry for both food and justice? Looking for something to do on a rainy day? Curious if there's a way to cross-indoctrinate your child with super hero and non-super hero concepts at the same time? Once again, it's the good folks at Downtown Bookworks to the rescue! Few things generate more excitement in my youngest son…
Stop me if you’ve heard this one: a prominent producer of DC Comics statuary makes a 1/6 scale statue inspired by the cover of Alan Moore and Brian Bolland’s seminal work, The Killing Joke. Okay, you've probably heard this one, but indulge me for a little bit. There have already been several statues quite similar…
The Trinity continue to battle with Possessed Red Hood and the Possessed Outlaws, as Constantine finds himself in a colder clime. Can the Dark Trinity be freed from the Evil Trinity by the Plain Trinity before the Evil Trinity finds a way to use the Mystic Trinity to get the Dark Trinity to kill the…
Reunited—for the first time! As the Justice League continues to contemplate the Justice Seed, the kids begin to set their plan in motion. But the future isn’t done with them yet, and with the horizon rushing backward to meet them, heroes and heirs alike must face the consequences of the League’s particular brand of…

Bizarro's life has been saved, but Lex Luthor warned there would be side effects. And like most things concerning the big, lovable lug, these side effects go the opposite way you might expect. Can the Outlaws adjust to a hyper-intelligent Bizarro? And how long can this last? Red Hood and the Outlaws #14 starts to answer…
Another odd month, another outstanding box from Funko's Legion of Collectors. This month's theme has multiple meanings, featuring sought-after villains and product types that we haven't seen before. And of course, at the center of it all, we have Pop!s, including the best one Funko's ever made: Look at all his majesty. Check out the…
