11 on Justice League #26 reviewThings on Earth are trending NASTY. Lex Luthor planted a seed of doom in the hearts of mankind, and it's up to the Justice League—and a few faraway friends—to fight back. Will it be enough? The confrontation with Perpetua grows nearer, in Justice League #26. It's alright Most of Justice League #26 feels disposable. That doesn't necessarily…
Diamond Select's Gallery line is usually an amazing value for the $45-$50 retail price. I've had quite a lot of them, and with a few exceptions, I've always felt like you were getting a lot more than what you paid for—if only in terms of expectations. But their GameStop-exclusive Gallery pieces have been a cut…
Let’s face it: when most of you first saw Koto’s Ikemen line, you groaned. Sexy Jason Todd, Awkwardly-Handsome Tim Drake, Bruce Wang—you know what I’m talking about. To be fair, the line isn’t likely aimed at me, and maybe not at you, either. But still, right? One of the things I love about writing for…
It’s finally here! After the slow burn buildup in Action Comics, and last week’s Superman special, Event Leviathan has arrived. Is it intriguing? Is it exciting? Is it all I’d hoped it would be? No What a colossal disappointment. I knew something was wrong when I saw this on the second page: What the heck?…
It’s just a teaser image, but I confess I’ve already made up my mind: this is not going to go well. As you’ve surely heard, Batman writer Tom King will be leaving the title after December. As you’ve also surely heard, he will continue writing the words “Bat” and “Cat” in Batman/Catwoman, which kicks off…
The Penguin’s out, but that’s not Red Hood’s only problem. Willis Todd’s Prince of Gotham has enemies galore, and not all of them end up driving his car or guarding his casino. Some of them...KILL. Or, at least, they try. In Red Hood: Outlaw #35. My favorite part was the first page I’m still struck…
And to think I used to call these things gross! Since getting a few Vinimates for review last year, I got hooked. Now I’ve got quite a few on my shelf, and I’m always eager for the next batch. This latest trio is a particularly nice one, with iconic poses for Darkseid and Shazam, and…
Dark Nights: Metal was far from my favorite event, but I sure loved a lot of Greg Capullo’s designs for those evil Batmen (sorry Bryce). Diamond’s Red Death Gallery is out now, and it’s a great take on this particular evil Bruce. The Speed Force energy looks like it was made of Fruit Roll-Ups, but…
Diamond Select has been slowly releasing some DC Comics-based Gallery statues since last year’s Toy Fair. I’ve taken a look at Superman and Aquaman, and now we have the Flash. I would rank this one with Superman, in that it looks very good from certain angles, but from others, there’s just something about the anatomy…
All seems lost! Superman withers and dies in a prison system with no sun; the Justice League fights their more-experienced alternate-reality future selves; Batman agrees with the World Forger and stands on the opposite side of his teammates. What in the worlds can be done? Find out, in Justice League #25. SPOILERS AHEAD Beyond imagination "The Sixth…
I know the response to Metal was somewhat mixed here in the Batman News comics community, but I can’t imagine anyone being cold on the crazy imagery created by Greg Capullo for the series. Diamond Select has already done a fine version of the Batman Who Laughs, and I’ll have a review of their Red…
DC’s Black Label was announced last year, promising daring stories by the best creators in the game. It’s been a little confusing in the rollout at times (see Batman: Damned and the never-delivered uncensored White Knight trade), but with the arrival of Batman: Last Knight on Earth last week, and Superman: Year One in the…
The DC event of the summer is upon us! After months of rising in Action Comics, the face of Leviathan is at last revealed, and things are looking pretty uncertain for the Man of Steel and his compatriots. Things are about to get worse in Superman: Leviathan Rising Special #1! Getting some Action After reading the first…
Header image courtesy of Comics Now. We all love Batman: The Animated Series. Kotobukiya has been putting out some stellar B:TAS statues in their ARTFX+ line lately, and it looks like they're at it again. This November, they will release their "Opening Sequence" Batman ARTFX+, a striking Batman in his iconic pose from the end of the…
Video courtesy of my site Comics Now I'm not the world's biggest Batwoman fan, but I enjoyed her well enough at the beginning of James Tynion's run on Detective Comics. DST's Batwoman Gallery PVC statue is an excellent take on the comic Batwoman, so if you're a fan, it's worth checking out. Watch the video above for my…
Video courtesy of my site Comics Now. Used with permission. I've loved the Martian Manhunter as long as I've known him. He's a tortured soul who's lost everything, and yet he cares for people who are not his own. He fights for them and saves them. When I found out that Tweeterhead was making a statue of…
Batman turns 80 this year, and the fine folks at Funko are commemorating this momentous milestone with Pop!s and Dorbz spanning the Dark Knight's history. I asked them to send a few out so we could check them out, and a short time later, a box full of goodies arrived. Let's have a closer look.…
Diamond Select Toys' Vinimates may not have quite the following as that other vinyl powerhouse, but they have a charm all their own. I have a growing collection on my shelves, and when I saw that DST would be producing Batman, Joker, and Bane from Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, I knew I would have to…
Diamond Select has been knocking it out of the park with their Nolanverse stuff lately. I already reviewed Batman a short while ago, and a Vinimate review is forthcoming, but today is all about Gotham’s reckoning. Video courtesy of Comics Now. DISCLAIMER: Batman News received this collectible from the manufacturer for the purpose of review.…
Lost in space! The Man of Steel passes the time before his impending death with tainted memories. Batman has (what I can only assume to be) the evolutionary peak of tea and crumpets with the World Forger while they discuss the betrayal of principles and friends alike. And the rest of the Justice League find…
