7 on Batman: Arkham Knight: Genesis (trade) reviewOne of several comics to spin off from the final installment in the Arkham series, Batman: Arkham Knight: Genesis turns its eye on the game's big villain. Who is the Arkham Knight, and what made him? Spoilers for the game follow. What's included? Inside the Genesis trade, you'll find all six issues of this miniseries. We covered…
One of the last books to experience the cleansing power of Rebirth, Teen Titans finally joins the rest of the line this week with its Rebirth one-shot. It's a decent prelude for what's to come, and as one who struggled through the New 52 version of the book, I'm excited for all of the changes. Batgirl once again enjoyed…
Rebirth marches on this week with Teen Titans, a franchise as much in need of a fresh start as any other. Can an updated roster and some fresh creators reinvigorate this once-storied series? Read on! Cast of characters Like many of its fellow Rebirth one-shots, Teen Titans is light on plot and heavy on character…
It's the team-up you never asked for, featuring the status quo changes that nobody wanted! In a stroke of uncannily bad fortune, Bruce Wayne has died and Superman has lost most of his power and had his secret identity exposed at what is effectively the exact same time. But what happens when the new Batman…
Well, the first Bat-crossover is upon us, and, well...eh? It's not awful, but it's confused and doesn't know what it's supposed to be. Maybe it gets better next week, or maybe we just forget it happened in three weeks, but as of right now, it's an unwelcome interruption. Thankfully, this week also saw the release…
Earthquake-makers. The Kindred. The Purge. Zodiac Crystals. Stolen power. Bryan Hitch's first Justice League story has had no shortage of ideas, yet has often come up wanting in the details. Can the final installment of "The Extinction Machines" give us a satisfying conclusion and vindicate Hitch's inaugural arc? Mild spoilers ahead. It's too easy With Clark…
How did Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman become friends? The New 52 largely yadda-yadda'd the development of their relationship, but the return of pre-Flashpoint Superman and his emergence as the only Superman in the Rebirth DC Universe provide the perfect opportunity for stories that establish and explore the chemistry of the Justice League's biggest three. A slow start…
He's one of Batman's oldest foes, but he was once a friend. Scarred by abuse and acid, Harvey Dent (née Kent) was once Gotham's promising young District Attorney. A criminal's retaliation rendered his face divided, but even reconstructive surgery could not repair his damaged psyche. And so over the years, Two-Face has proven to be…
Did James Tynion kill Tim Drake? I ain't saying. Of course, if you frequent many of the sites that cover comics, you've likely already been spoiled. Or, hopefully, you've already read Detective Comics #940 and you have nothing to worry about. Or do you? All-Star is settling in nicely, going so far as to challenge…
This review will contain major spoilers. If you haven't read it yet, it's worth every penny. Go read it, then come on back and read the review. After lots of Internet speculation, and issues of buildup, we finally learn the fate of Tim Drake. When the smoke clears, the team is left without their brightest…
This review contains major spoilers for Detective Comics #940, also released this week. You've been warned. Tim Drake is dead—or so believe the Teen Titans and any other folks connected with Red Robin. Devastated, his now-leaderless teammates take turns remembering him. And as expected, a colleague waits in the wings, apparently…
Trains! Helicopters! Deceptively handsome clones! Red Hood and the Outlaws #2 has all of that PLUS an enormous axe that comes to its owner when summoned, even if said owner is, by all accounts, unworthy. Take that, Mjölnir. Strangers on a train In this month's adventure, Jason and Artemis have the fight promised at the…
What a week! I read the solicits, so I knew Bane was coming, but actually seeing him...this is happening! I thought Batman #6 was King's best yet, and I am beyond stoked for whatever's coming next. And after reading the absolutely delightful Supergirl #1, I'm excited to see what Steve Orlando has in store with his "Night…
Supergirl makes her official Rebirth debut this week in one of the most distinct, delightful books to come out of DC's revamped line. Steve Orlando's thorough characterization and Brian Ching's striking aesthetic give Supergirl a strong start and leave me hungry for the next installment. Rebirth is a fresh start for creators, too. It's easy to spot the…
When we last looked in on the League, the Kindred were standing tall in Canada. Meanwhile, the rookie Lanterns had stumbled upon a fractured planet, and Superman took a journey to (near) the center of the earth in hopes of taking out the seismic doodads rumbling the planet. Still too much know-and-tell This time around,…
Call me a cynic, but having a fifth Wednesday is kind of like your mom saying "it's time for dessert" and then handing you a box of raisins. For all of the occasions on which I've found myself saying "yay, extra comics! more pages!", I can remember very few when I got something better than…
I appreciate the advice, Viceroy, I do. And I hope you can appreciate that I reject your distinction. That somehow they're savage and you're not or we're not. I've been a Lantern for years, served with every race and species. Everyone is savage. Everyone is civilized. We're all the same. In the end. I'm not…
After a substantial wait, Bryan Hitch's first crack at the Justice League takes one step closer to its conclusion. Rao has fled after our heroes severed the link between he and his faithful, but Supeman paid for the victory with his life. Meanwhile, Hal sits in a cell in the Kryptonian city of Argo while…
Who is Superman's Joker? Who would target those closest to him just to cause him pain? Batman/Superman Vol. 4 explores one possible answer to these questions, as the World's Finest face a deadly threat with designs against the Man of Steel. Batman works against the clock to track down the villain and counter his methods, but can…
It's been a stressful week for Tim Drake. When he wasn't taking on the Colony with the rest of Team Batman, he was stuck wearing his old showgirl wings and fighting psionically-possessed H.I.V.E. drones. Red Robin can't catch a break. But hey, there's always next semester, right? Harley remained omnipresent (and now maybe omnitemporal??), Babs…
