1 on Batman/Superman: World's Finest #2 reviewLast month’s issue #1 was pretty good, and especially Mora and Bonvillain’s art was incredible. The writing rambled a little bit, though, even if it was solid for the most part. Either way, the creative team can take the story in several directions after their first issue, so hopefully it will stay good. Let’s have…
Just like last month, Matina and I will be teaming up to review Batman: Killing Time #2. We weren’t too impressed with the first issue of this series, but neither of us thought it was necessarily bad, either. The first issue set up a mystery, a heist and an adventure and, if anything, I was…
“Shadow War” isn’t a crossover that I’ve been looking forward to. As I’ve explained in my Shadow War: Alpha review, I think that the premise just doesn’t work, because Ra’s' character development is being forced and rushed for the sake of a plot point. When the premise doesn’t work, the rest of the story usually…
I’ve been enjoying Williamson’s Robin run so far. Damian had some nice character development and we were introduced to some cool new characters, such as Flatline. However, I didn’t ask for this crossover and hearing about how this will set up Dark Crisis in some way or another doesn’t really make me excited, either. So…
At last it’s here! The second chapter of Batman: One Dark Knight, written and drawn by the one and only Jock himself. In the previous issue we saw that E.M.P. caused a city-wide blackout with his meta-human powers and now Batman has to get E.M.P. safely across Gotham to Blackgate. Issue #1 was a great…
Last month’s issue ended with Jason being at the mercy of KGBeast, and Two-Face, Freeze and Bane showing up to try and rescue Jason. There was some confusion in the comments last time about whether this is an ongoing or a mini, but the June solicits do indicate that this is indeed a 12-issue run.…
And so we arrive at the conclusion of perhaps the most expensive event that I’ve ever reviewed. I haven’t been enjoying “Shadows of the Bat” at all, and I haven’t been feeling optimistic about this conclusion, either. This is an event that, at most, should’ve been 6 issues instead of 12, but it could probably…
I was pretty sad when Yang and Reis’ excellent run on Batman/Superman got canceled, and I highly recommend that you pick up the hardcover that collects their entire story: “The Archive of Worlds.” However, when DC announced that Waid and Mora would relaunch the title with a new #1, I was definitely intrigued. We had…
This is the penultimate issue in the “Shadows of the Bat” event, and I haven’t been a fan of this story. Not only does more than half of this event consist of filler, it’s also a very expensive series: if you were to buy every single issue of “Shadows of the Bat,” you’d end up…
We’re getting closer to the conclusion of “Shadows of the Bat.” So far the event has been lackluster, to say the least, and it’s also been very expensive—you’ll end up spending a minimum of $60.88 if you’re buying the entire event in single issues! You can check out my brief breakdown of the price point…
The third and final act of “Shadows of the Bat” begins here. To those that came in late, you haven’t missed much, because so far we’ve only gotten the bare minimum of plot progression throughout the event. Hopefully that changes now that we’re getting closer to the conclusion, but I’m not feeling optimistic. And it…
One thing that Task Force Z has been doing well is juggling fun with poignancy without having those two elements clash. It’s also a book that consistently keeps the energy high and that keeps the plot moving. There’s always something going on in this story, and that’s more than I can say about certain other…
This is the last chapter of the second act of “Shadows of the Bat.” So far, barely anything interesting has happened in the story. It’s also a very expensive series. If you were to buy every single issue of this event, you will spend at least $60.88 (see my brief breakdown of the price point…
“Shadows of the Bat” is on a downward spiral. With each issue, the quality seems to drop further, and it wasn’t that great to begin with. It’s also overpriced—you’d end up spending a minimum of $60.88 if you were to pick up every single issue of this event, and that’s just the cover price (see…
And here's another chapter of “Shadows of the Bat,” the 12-issue weekly event running through Detective Comics. So far barely anything has happened in the story and it’s been a real chore keeping up with this. To make things worse, DC is also charging a lot of money for this series—if you were to buy…
“Shadows of the Bat” has been trying my patience. Not only is there barely anything happening in these issues, they’re also very expensive, to a point that you’ll end up spending at least $60.88 if you were to pick up all single issues in this event (see my intro of #1047 for a breakdown of…
So far I’ve been digging Task Force Z. This series has been very entertaining, the characters have been interesting and there have been enough plot twists that make me want to read on. However, this month I find myself being a little more critical of this book, so let’s just get into it. As was…
So far I haven’t been a fan of “Shadows of the Bat.” The story is moving too slowly for my liking, and our heroes—the Bat Family—are not getting enough to do. On top of that, I strongly disagree with the price point, as picking up all single issues of this event will cost you at…
Welcome back to the overpriced “Shadows of the Bat” event. I don’t usually focus on price point in my reviews, but seeing as you would be spending a minimum of $60.88 if you were to buy the whole event in single issues, I think it’s important to bring this to your attention, especially since the…
Another week, another chapter of the overpriced “Shadows of the Bat” event. Last week I started off my review of #1047 with a breakdown of the price point. It’s not something that I usually talk about in my reviews, but in this case I think it’s important to bring this to your attention. Here’s a…
