0 on Quarantine Book Club - Batman: OverdriveWelcome back to the Batman News Quarantine Book Club, where this week we will be covering two books! For the price of none, no less! The first book on our list Batman: Overdrive, by Shea Fontana and Marcelo Di Chiara. This story follows a fifteen-year-old Bruce Wayne, who's on a mission to repair his dad’s…
To say that Jim Lee is a busy man is like saying March was "an inconvenient month" for everyone: technically true, but also a vast understatement. Currently the sole Publisher and Chief Creative Officer of DC Comics (not to mention one of the most renowned artists in the comic book industry), there is quite likely a lot…
Welcome back to the Batman News Quarantine Book Club! This week, we're gonna be discussing Batman: Ego - written and illustrated by the late, great, Darwyn Cooke. The Deluxe Hardcover that you will find this in does have other stories in it, but today we will only be focusing on the one comic. We have…
Aha! You thought it was Josh reviewing this book, but it was me, Nick! I’ve been given the opportunity to review Batman’s biggest comic, and I have instantly let the power go to my head. Look forward to extensive plugs for my twitter, random non-sequiturs about how great The Last Jedi is, and- Okay, no.…
I wonder, how many of you guys play tabletop games? Dungeons and Dragons is, of course, the most popular of the bunch, though I’m also partial to Vampire: The Masquerade – if you can find a time to do it, they provide a fun mental exercise that puts you and a group of friends through…
I am not doing great. Last year, I had little going on in my life, and it was an endless source of frustration for someone just coming out of high school, and looking for direction. When I got this job, that was the first step to finding a routine I felt was both satisfying and…
God, these issues go by fast! I picked up this comic, ready to dive in and review its pros and cons, tackle the nuances of the book that might go unnoticed on first viewing… and the book was already over. You might attribute this to the book being really good, and an easy read that…
Shea Fontana has an impressive track record with DC! She has been a significant driving force behind DC Superhero Girls, a line that has branched out into one of DC's most successful multimedia ventures. Additionally, she recently wrote the book DC Women of Action, a comprehensive guide to many of the women in DC's world, as…
Okay, so I think I understand what Venditti is going for in this Justice League run. In this comic’s first 39 issues & change, Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV crafted an incredibly detailed mythos involving characters from within the DC Multiverse and beyond; as a result, many of the threats the League faced were…
With the beginning of Joker War, Generation One, Dark Nights: Death Metal and the Green Lantern 80th issue, DC has a busy month in May! Batman News in particular has a lot to cover, including a brand new series about... Man-Bat? Sure, why not! After enjoying a significant role in the pages of Justice League Dark, it seems that Kirk…
How would you define the relationship between Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy? Would you consider it a friendship? A romance? I’ve made my thoughts on the matter pretty clear, but it’s not a completely fixed concept. It certainly began as a friendship in the storyboards of Batman: The Animated Series, and I think different creators…
Alright, if you’ve come this far into my reviews, you should know EXACTLY what you’re about to get here. No? Okay, here’s a robot Ra's al Ghul being shot to smithereens by a random gangster. As an example. Really, what’s there to say about the writing and the art in this issue that hasn’t already…
I’ll make this review quick. While I have been hired as a reviewer for this website, I won’t pretend that my opinion has any more significance than the average reader. Hell, I liked Suicide Squad and some of the Transformers movies on first viewing, so I’m not exactly a perfect judge of quality. I say…
It’s the end of Justice League #39. The team has lost a battle for the soul of the universe, and there looks to be little hope left for the future. In the eleventh hour, they are presented with one final option: a door to the salvation of reality itself. The Justice League, united in their…
Justice League #39 concluded the Justice/Doom War with a surprising reveal about the fate of the DC Universe going forward - but anyone who's read all of the years-long story knows that it isn't finished just yet. Scott Snyder's story (co-authored with James Tynion IV) spun out of the pages of Dark Nights: Metal, a wild…
While Batman has always been a profitable character for DC Comics, 2019 has been particularly generous to the caped crusader. In a not-so-surprising announcement, Diamond Comic Distributors (the world's largest comic book distributor) has placed DC's wildly successful Detective Comics #1000 at the top of the sales charts for all of 2019! This marks the second…
One of the most common things I hear about from following professionals in the comic industry is the crunch time that artists have to endure. This can also be the case for writers – god knows I struggle with writer’s block with half of my reviews – but with illustrators that need a certain amount…
During last year's New York Comic Con, the streaming service DC Universe announced the "DCYou Unscripted" initiative, encouraging fans across America to create a pitch for an unscripted show related to all things DC. The content could be anything from game shows to opinion pieces, and the ten finalists would be able to pitch their…
Happy New Year, everyone! This isn’t a segue into the review or anything – I just wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank everyone for reading my content in the latter half of last year. This job may be small in the grand scheme of things, but it came into my hands at a…
I’m beginning to run out of things to say about this book. My disappointment over what this story could have been has worn off, for the most part; after all, there’s nothing inherently wrong with a by-the-books story about two “friends” on a road trip. Honestly, you could argue it’s something the characters needed after…
