0 on Batman/Superman: World's Finest #7 reviewA new arc starts in this issue, and it’s a good jumping-on point for new readers looking to get into this series. There's a whole new adventure that introduces a whole new character, and you can easily pick this up and read it without having read the first arc. But is it actually worth your…
I keep having mixed feelings about this Batman run. On the one hand, I think it’s safe to say that Zdarsky and Jiminez are having a lot of fun as I sense enthusiasm and synergy in these issues. On the other hand, I’m not feeling some of the narrative choices that the creative team is…
To review this anthology, my fellow reviewers and I are teaming up! Usually, anthologies turn out to be a mixed bag in terms of quality, but what about this one? Seeing as this is going to be a long article, let’s go right ahead and take a look! Gotham Academy: "Sophomore Year" Matina: Sophomore Year…
This is the penultimate issue of Task Force Z. Over the course of the series, the story has been declining in quality, to a point that I’m not entirely sure anymore what Rosenberg is trying to tell us. There is no strong narrative focus anymore as we have been given cliffhangers that feel random; character…
I really enjoyed last month’s issue and thought it was the best of the run so far. The one unresolved plot thread, however, is Robin’s disappearance as he got lost in time during his and Supergirl’s time-traveling adventure. This issue is a one-shot that’s meant to address what’s happened to Robin, and to have Batman…
I had mixed feelings about the previous issue. While I thought it was definitely entertaining, I also ended up disagreeing with a number of writing choices, and so I wasn’t exactly blown away by it. Of course, with that only being the first issue, the creative team still has plenty of time to develop this…
This is it, folks. The third and final issue of Jock’s One Dark Knight series. I love both the first and second issue of this story, and have praised them for their glorious visuals and sharp writing while giving them high scores. But whenever I’m enjoying a story that much, I always feel a little…
As I’ve said before, Task Force Z’s second half just hasn’t been as strong as its first half. The main problem is that the story’s all over the place and it’s seemingly lost sense of direction. What is this comic trying to say anymore? Where plot twists were interesting and exciting before, now they seem…
I’m really starting to get into this series. Yes, I’ve critiqued previous issues and didn’t always think that everything worked, but I’ll say up front that this is my favorite issue from this series yet. It feels like the creative team’s finding its footing, and the result is a solid and super entertaining conclusion to…
I haven’t been enjoying Batman for a while. King’s run was okay for me, but I feel like Tynion was running this whole thing into the ground with every issue. Williamson’s short run wasn’t bad, though it also wasn’t anything to write home about. But now Zdarsky has signed on to write this series, and…
I wasn’t really a fan of the previous issue, and I’ve been noticing a dip in quality lately. What the creative team needs to do in order to finish the story on a high note is create narrative focus, especially this late in the game. Is the creative team able to pull that off with…
It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these, but seeing as my good friend Chad Bilyeu has released the first issue of his new independent comic, I figured it’s time for another "Break From The Bat" article. The Re-Up is an autobiographical comic book series, in which Chad—together with Dutch illustrator Juliette de…
I’ve certainly been enjoying this series, even though there was plenty to critique in the previous issues. While the character work and artwork have been solid, I think the story’s main villain has been underdeveloped. Seeing as this series’ second arc will start soon, the creative team will have to work really hard to establish…
So far I’ve had mixed feelings about Batman: Killing Time. I think the series has been doing some things really well, and in other areas it’s lacking in quality. That said, as the series goes on I find that I’m getting more and more invested in this story. That doesn’t mean that I’m completely onboard…
“Shadow War” is over. For Aaron’s thoughts on the conclusion, see his review of Shadow War: Omega #1. Personally, I wasn’t really into it, and I hope we’re done with crossovers for a while. However, this issue isn’t connected to “Shadow War.” It’s a one-shot to close out Williamson’s Batman run, involving Abyss. Let’s have…
So far I haven’t enjoyed a single Ghost-Maker story. The character can be, and has been, criticized on many fronts, a big one being that the trope of creating new characters with a connection to Bruce’s past is kind of old and boring at this point. While I absolutely agree with that criticism, for me…
This is a series that started out pretty strong, but I don’t think that last month’s issue was quite as good. We are getting closer and closer to the endgame stage, so it’s about time that the creative team starts to focus on that endgame. Do they manage that in this issue? Let’s have a…
The first two issues of this series have been fun, but not without flaws. I think that the creative team has an interesting angle and I think that the story, as it’s unfolding, is very entertaining. Clearly the creative team is trying to give us bang for our buck by packing each issue with adventure…
Last month there was quite a bit of plot development and it felt like the story was really hitting its stride. This series has been entertaining to read and fun to review, but I’m hoping that the comic won’t lose steam now that we’re past the halfway point. This series thrives on forward momentum and…
This is part five of “Shadow War,” a crossover event that’s currently running through the pages of Batman, Deathstroke Inc, and Robin. So far this event has bored me to tears and as such I’m not feeling very optimistic about this issue. But who knows? Maybe the creative team manages to surprise me? Let’s have…
