19 on Batman: Heart of Hush reviewHeart of Hush marks the return of Bruce Wayne's childhood-friend-turned-calculating-murderous-pyscopath Tommy Elliot to Gotham (again). Still filled with hatred (and jealousy) for his former pal, Hush enlists the help of an old mentor and enacts a plan to hit the Dark Knight where it hurts the most. Beware the man who can strike from a…
Facing his impending death, Superman looks to his cousin, Kara Zor-El, to fill the void he is sure to leave once he's gone. But as Supergirl comes to terms with this enormous responsibility, the mysterious new super-man attempts to fill that void himself. Forgive me for thinking you needed saving. Action Comics #51 begins (approximately) where…
Batman: Long Shadows is a five-issue collection from the pre-52 Batman book, featuring a touching Battle for the Cowl epilogue and the four-issue Long Shadows arc, in which Dick Grayson learns that some of Bruce's long-time foes are harder to fool than others. What's included Only Batman drives the Batmobile The volume opens with A Battle Within, a short…
This could have been the issue of Black Canary I've been waiting for—but it's not. While I hate to spoil the end of a thousand-word review, I feel it my duty to spare you the suspense: don't buy this book, even if you've enjoyed it up to this point. And you didn't miss a note of…
Prepare to have your heart warmed, broken, and thrown in the blender once again. As Pete Tomasi's two-month takeover of the Superman books continues, Batman gets involved, a mysterious new super-being flexes his muscles, and the World's Finest must fight through a mysterious new threat. When you happen to be looking for the world's greatest detective...…
I take Batman comics seriously by default. And if it's hard for me to tell for certain that a particular story isn't meant to be interpreted in some other way, I struggle to enjoy it. I'm hesitant to call art and dialogue poorly-formed or ridiculous, because I don't know that it wasn't intended. But neither…
Kind of a big deal I know what you're thinking: why on Earth is Archie being featured on a Batman site? I can understand the question. The last thing I expected to read or enjoy this past month was the first volume of Mark Waid and Fiona Staples' new Archie series. I got into comics for…
There's always a job for Superman It's 2016, and DC's enormous Rebirth initiative looms close on the horizon. During the months of April and May, Pete Tomasi and an assortment of artists will be taking over all of the Superman titles for "Super League", an eight-part crossover event which should lead us right into Rebirth and a…
With every day, and from both sides of my intelligence, the moral and the intellectual, I thus drew steadily nearer to that truth, by whose partial discovery I have been doomed to such a dreadful shipwreck: that man is not truly one, but truly two. R.L. Stevenson, from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde Hello, Harvey.…
Have they been abandoned? It's been more than two months since the release of Justice League of America #8. While Bryan Hitch has crafted an intriguing conflict with excellent characters, his DC You hit has been plagued by delays since its early days (if you remember, issue 5 was so delayed that we ended up getting a…
To a modern fan, Batman in the Seventies might seem unappealing. If you've been weaned on the New 52 approach to the Dark Knight, this book will likely seem almost as foreign as the famous Batman television show from the 60's. If that's you, don't be discouraged. With an open mind, I'm confident you'll come away at least entertained, and at…
Can I trust you, Robin? Before Greg Pak came aboard for last month's Teen Titans #17, several readers (and reviewers, if I remember correctly) were saying that what this title needed more than anything was a break. Pull the plug for a few months (or longer), let folks get the bad taste out of their mouths,…
Some of the best Batman stories I've read deal with Bruce Wayne's response to failure. Whether it's the loss of a Robin, the loss of mobility, or the loss of a Robin, watching Batman come to terms with his own fallibility tends to make for good reading. Batman: Venom considers the lengths to which the…
You know what I want? I want my $2.99 back. Stop being such a downer It would be a misinterpretation of the facts to say that I have been unkind to Black Canary. "Unkind" implies that I have failed to attribute some good to that which possesses it, or attributed bad to that which does not. I have…

In this issue, we get the conclusion of Taylor and Rocha's "Universe's Finest" arc. Superman contends with his mysterious captor, Batman cruises the cosmos in Lobo's ride, and--not satisfied with merely capturing our imaginations--the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel capture our hearts. How long have they kept you here? I haven't been reading comics…
Once a month, I'll be writing about the things I'm reading in which Batman is (gasp) absent. My hope is that I can turn you on to some good stuff that maybe you wouldn't have checked out otherwise. Or maybe I'm too weird and you won't dig anything I pick. Either way, be sure to…
