11 on Red Hood and the Outlaws #9 reviewHot on the trail of the Bow of Ra, the Outlaws race to Qurac. But as Jason and Artemis face the demons of their past, a hostile present awaits. Can this unlikely band of friends find success—and closure—among the ruins of their innocence? Find out in Red Hood and the Outlaws #9. Some mild spoilers follow. Old…
I know David Finch is a talented artist; I know the anatomical exaggerations on his Batman #20 cover are products neither of carelessness nor inability. And yet, when I see that cover, all I see is teeth. Big, disgusting, teeth. And I can't help but wonder: can you use regular dental instruments to clean those bad boys,…
Welcome back to Break from the Bat, your monthly dose of comics from anywhere but Gotham. I've got to level with you—I've been feeling a little burned out lately, and I told myself I would spend a few months focusing this column on books I was already reading, rather than looking for something completely fresh.…
The folks at Downtown Bookworks are at it again! They've been wowing us with the world's finest children's books for years, and now they're breaking into the world of setups and punchlines with The Official DC Super Hero Joke Book. Reluctant chuckles and hearty guffaws Let's get one thing straight before I go on: the jokes…
After a rare three-week break between installments, Justice League is back. With most of the League spread out across time, Superman and Batman have no choice but to keep working with the Infinity Corporation. But with Clark weakened by red solar radiation in Tempus's lair, Bruce must find strength from an unexpected source if he hopes…
I have been known to indulge in the occasional Arrowverse program over the years. There have been some strong moments, but more often than not, I found myself ignoring bad acting and aggravating over-emotionalizing because I enjoyed the adventure and nerd-service. So, given that, and given Elena's take on this week's Batgirl Annual #1, I'm…
Woah! How's that for a provocative, click-baity title? I wonder how many comments we'll get from folks who don't read the article? Let me know when I get back from bathing in my tub of ill-gotten ad revenue. But seriously, the title isn't entirely click-bait. Batman getting his booty handed to him (again) in Detective…
Batman's army has been bested by Shiva, and one of his strongest soldiers struggles with the revelation of her connection to the deadly lady. How can Team Bats take down so mighty a foe? Find out in Detective Comics #953. Spoilers follow (but not that Spoiler, she's still on her walkabout) Pretty ordinary Detective Comics #953…
With Granpappy in the past—at least for now—Damian and friends can turn their attention to other things, like chilling in a giant "T" with windows and other amenities. But evil never naps for long, and as it rubs the sleep from its eyes, an unexpected ally enters the fray. Aqualad rises, in Teen Titans #6!…
Funko was kind enough to send Batman News their March box for Legion of Collectors, and boy, was it a good one. See if you can spot Batman! Also, if there's a drinking game for how many times I say "classic" or "spit curl", you should probably stick to root beer...
Once, Bane broke all of the inmates out of Arkham. This week, he broke all of the inmates inside of Arkham. And it was AMAZING. All-Star was delightfully bonkers, Batwoman got off to a solid start, and Super Sons was super close to perfect. What are you digging this week? All-Star Batman #8 Visually inventive,…
What happens when three of the Trinity's biggest baddies get together for a catacomb bull session? ABOMINATIONS! With apologies to the excellent first arc of Red Hood and the Outlaws, Ra's, Lex, and Circe form their own "Dark Trinity" and face their demons in one of the creepiest haunts around. A stark—if temporary—change in tone Francis…
With the help of Infinity, Batman and Superman have caught up with the Timeless. Meanwhile, the rest of the League has dispersed across time to stop the enemy on the most urgent fronts. But can the World's Finest take down a seemingly infinite foe? And how can the League save history when they aren't even…
Other than an appearance in a Green Lantern Corps tie-in to Batman's Zero Year, the sometimes-villainous, sometimes-something-else Anarky was absent from DC's New 52 relaunch. For their second arc on Detective Comics, Brian Buccelato and Francis Manapul set out to change that. What's included? Detective Vol. 7 actually collects several distinct stories, picking up where the…
I liked 'Tec #952 well enough, but I have to agree with a lot of you guys: Bats doesn't look like the world-class martial artist we know and love. I get it—Shiva's amazing—but she shouldn't make Bruce look like Paul Blart. Red Hood remained one of my favorites with a tight one-and-done look at Artemis's…
Black Mask: defeated. Bizarro: redeemed. Artemis? Who is she, really? Why does she roam the world in search of the elusive Bow of Ra? Red Hood and the Outlaws #8 delays her quest once more, as Jason prods the mystery of this she-bear of Bana-Mighdall and learns what makes his most sarcastic teammate click. A bar is the…
Tom King is remaking Bane in Batman's image—a rebirth with tweaks to make the juiced-up Santa Priscan terrorist more or less appealing (your mileage may vary). In other rebirths, Bryan Hitch has written an issue of Justice League worth your consideration. Consider it, and if after considering it you are still interested, read it. Batman News…
I've tried a few times to get into Valiant's tent-pole titles over the past several years. But other than an isolated issue of Ninjak or a promising mini like Savage, nothing really took. Perhaps the problem lies in being dropped into the middle of a completely foreign mythology; it was easy to start reading DC and Marvel,…
The Justice League is divided—across time! With the help of the mysterious Molly, our heroes are when and where they need to be, but will they stop the Timeless? And can Superman and Batman trust the equally-mysterious Infinity Corporation? Justice League #16 has answers. Unexpectedly enjoyable With a book as disappointing as the Rebirth iteration of Justice League,…
It was a week of sad endings and new beginnings. It was a week of Burnside and Beyond. It was a week of old chums, old enemies, and old, murderous men with rebellious grandchildren. It was a week of Assassins, Shadows, and Justice. It was a week of—in a word—comics. Whatever your life was like…
