0 on This Week in Comics: Constantine is running for his life!Welcome to another This Week in Comics! If this is your first time clicking on a This Week article, this is where the Batman News review team gets together to discuss the latest Batman-related comics. In this week's article, we're talking about turtles, Doomsday Clock, Harley and Ivy's latest shenanigans, slasher movie vibes in DCeased, the JSA and…
Tom Taylor’s DCeased miniseries has been an equally entertaining and emotional rollercoaster ride through an apocalyptic, zombie-infested DC Universe. While the latest issue of the main series left us with one helluva cliffhanger, we take a sidestep this month to check in with a few other characters that aren’t featured as prominently in the main…
Although Batman/Superman is a brand new ongoing series (previous World's Finest series notwithstanding), it should be clear that its first arc, “Who are the Secret Six?”, is a direct continuation of the 7-part The Batman Who Laughs miniseries by Scott Snyder and Jock. It isn’t necessary to have read Snyder and Jock’s comic because there’s plenty…
In case you missed it: in the latest Upcoming Comics, Josh introduced our new team mates—Matina, Nancy, Nick and Michael! Though you’ll have to wait a few days for their first reviews to come out, you can already enjoy their commentary in this week’s This Week in Comics! Below we’re discussing giant zombies, powerful cliffhangers,…
Those who’ve been reading my Harley Quinn reviews know that I’ve been rather critical of the book. It’s not a secret that I dislike various elements of the book. The main elements that I’ve disliked are the, in my eyes, unnecessary fourth wall breaking and the character’s jarring, sudden shift from villain to hero. However,…
Although I’ve criticized elements of DCeased, it’s, on the whole, been consistently good, and the Superman scenes—particularly the emotional scenes in the previous issue involving Pa Kent—are outstanding, making me wish that Tom Taylor was either the main writer on Superman or Action Comics or both. This issue picks up where the previous one left…
The first issue of Last Knight on Earth is a fantastic and intricate comic book, and it sets a high bar for this 3-issue miniseries. This book takes Batman into unusual directions, which makes this story fresh and exciting. Additionally, it’s also a trippy and convoluted story, because we jump from scene to scene and…
This is it—the conclusion of the 7-part The Batman Who Laughs miniseries. Snyder, Jock, Baron and Cipriano have been crafting a dark horror story that, despite a few missteps along the way, has been scary and a lot of fun: every issue has been a page turner. When the news came out that DC Comics…
Welcome, fellow comics fans, to another episode of This Week in Comics! This time around it is my (Casper) turn to be your host, and my Bat-buddies and I have lots of commentary on various titles in store for you all, as always! To those who came in late: This Week in Comics is a…
Harley has been successfully completing trials for the Lords of Order and Chaos, but that storyline gets interrupted this month because of the “Year of the Villain” event, but more on that later. This issue isn’t particularly great, but there are moments here that are really well-written and well-drawn. And though I had trouble keeping…
So far DCeased has been a fun book. Taylor has done a great job setting up the story in the first two issues, and even though I have been somewhat critical of certain aspects, I think it’s been a solid book for the most part. Last issue we left off with an exciting cliffhanger, where…
It took a while for the finale of Batman: Damned to come out, but it’s here at last. Elena reviewed issues #1 and #2, but since she’s, unfortunately, no longer on the Batman-News review team, I’m reviewing this third issue to wrap up the run. And by the way, we are still looking for new…
This is the penultimate chapter in the Batman Who Laughs miniseries. So far, this has been an exciting and thrilling ride, rich with horror elements, interdimensional insanity and superheroics. Although I have expressed some of my criticism about the story up until this point, I’ve mostly been praising Snyder, Jock, Baron and Cipriano’s work for…
Enchantress has returned from the depths of hell and she has magically transformed Gotham into a medieval kingdom! The people living in Gotham have turned into medieval counterparts of themselves as well. Everything is upside-down. Harley Quinn and Queen Selina are about the burn at the stake! Can this be undone? And, more importantly, is…
Tom Taylor is a really good writer. He can tell big stories that involve the entire DCU, and he can tell stories on a much smaller, personal level, too. No matter which type of story he writes, there is always room for humor, heartfelt moments, and tragedy. The second issue of DCeased has all of…
Gather round, fellow comic fans, gather round! Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo are telling their final Batman story, and it’s called Last Knight on Earth, and it’s a tale of adventure and intrigue and mystery! This miniseries is part of DC’s Black Label imprint, will run for three issues in total, and each issue is…
Before we jump into the actual review: DC has confirmed that this is now a 7 issue miniseries so that Snyder and Jock can wrap up the story properly. I think this is exciting news because I have been enjoying this series a lot and if the creative team feels that they need a few…
Harley has been completing a series of trials for the Lords of Chaos and Order to become their Angel of Retribution. After completing the third trial, she decides to go to Gotham with her buddy Tina to visit Catwoman. The story opens with the three of them hanging out in Catwoman’s apartment, playing a tabletop…
When DCeased was first announced I wasn’t incredibly excited, but I also wasn’t opposed to the idea. Of course the concept of a zombie apocalypse taking place in a superhero universe isn’t anything new—both Marvel Zombies (which I never read but I know it exists) and Blackest Night come to mind. I enjoyed Blackest Night…
The first half of The Batman Who Laughs (#1-3) has been terrifying, exciting, powerful and, above all, great fun. And the Grim Knight one-shot, which could be read as an interlude in the middle of the miniseries, blew my mind with its wonderful art and solid writing. Now we’re going into the second half of…
