12 on Wonder Woman: The Official Cookbook reviewThere's a pretty popular joke about online recipes that I'm sure you've heard: before the author of said recipe actually shares the ingredient list and steps to make the specified dish, they write hundreds of words about their history with the recipe, their travels around the world to discover such a culinary delight, or their…
At long last, Batman's adventures on Earth One will continue. Or at least, his adventures in Earth One, as the long-awaited third volume of the acclaimed and influential graphic novel series will finally be released next year. After a five year hiatus, the superstar team of Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, Jon Sibal, and Brad Anderson…
While I’m not a huge fan of certain types of board games, I am all about finding one with interesting gameplay and different dynamics. If it tells an actual story, or uses strategy as much as luck of the draw, chances are I’ll at least check it out. I am also all about Batman, as…
There’s a certain amount of silliness that’s inherent in various bits of popular culture. Comic books, for one, have a level of ridiculousness that we just accept so that we can proceed to enjoy the characters and stories. I mean, take a guy and dress him in a cape and tights and that’s goofy. Take…
Much has been written about the greatness of Batman: The Animated Series. Heck, I’ve probably written at least a few thousand words celebrating the series on this site alone, so it’s safe to say that the landmark cartoon is no stranger to effusive praise. What’s so great about the show, though, is that it’s more…
One of the great joys of attending San Diego Comic-Con is visiting the Sideshow Collectibles booth. For one, it’s massive, taking up quite a bit of square footage on the convention floor. Really, though, the best part about the booth is seeing all of the incredible products on display. Even separated by plexiglass, you can…
Wonder Woman is pretty much everywhere in popular culture these days, and it’s easy to see why. She did, after all, have a highly acclaimed and incredibly successful movie that has a sequel coming sometime soon, her comic series has had a string of killer creative teams telling equally killer stories, and she’s been prominent…
At long last, the wait is over: Tom King, Clay Mann, Tomeu Morey, and Clayton Cowle's highly-anticipated Batman/Catwoman will debut this December. Announced back in 2019, the long-awaited series will explore the ongoing relationship between Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle, as told across three different timelines. In one of those timelines? None other than Andrea…
Take one of the world’s most popular fictional characters. Add in some of the comic industry’s most talented creators. Then present it all in glorious black and white. What do you have? Why, Batman: Black and White, of course. DC Comics have announced that the beloved anthology series from yesteryear is making a comeback this…
There are few publishers that get me more excited about new product than Insight Editions. Their output is consistently excellent, with attractive volumes that range from cookbooks to art collections to the anatomical breakdowns of different superheroes. When Insight announced that they were teaming up with Mondo for a book that collected a bunch of…
I'm of the age where I remember the word "mondo" being a regular fixture in the vernacular. Like "radical" and "bodacious," it was typically used to denote something that was more than merely "cool." No, if something was mondo, it was extremely cool. Was the use of this slang going through the minds of the…
Sure, schools may be closed right now, but enrollment is still open at Gotham High. DC’s next graphic novel for young adult readers is due in stores soon, and the publisher has provided a new trailer for the book. It’s a different take on the Batman mythos, to be sure, what with Bruce Wayne, Selina…
Imagine the following scenario: Robin is missing. Batgirl and Nightwing are unavailable. And Batman needs help. So who does the Dark Knight call? You. That's quite the hook, and the basis of the plot in Batman: Crack the Case, the latest book from Insight Editions. It's a whodunit mystery story with several interactive elements, similar…
In a few short weeks, Harley Quinn will assemble some Birds of Prey to take on Roman Sionis, alias Black Mask, in the major motion picture Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn). Sionis will be played by Ewan McGregor, so yeah, they already have my ticket, and his performance looks…
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times now, but I’ll repeat myself again: Batman: The Animated Series rules. And the accompanying comics rule just as hard. They’re the perfect intersection of great writing, fantastic art, and accessible storytelling, with complete stories that are consistently and excellently Batman. Though they were long…
No matter how welcome and anticipated they are, endings are bittersweet. Here we have the final issue of Doomsday Clock, which is a journey we've been going on for over two years now. Through its ups and downs, there has never been a point where I didn't at least enjoy writing about this book. It's…
What's this? Another review of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen? On a Batman site, no less? Your eyes do not deceive you, dear reader, so continue reading as we present to you The Batman News review of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #6 As written by the guy who goes by "Jaymus Yawsley" in the comments For…
After tomorrow, when I publish my review for Doomsday Clock #12, I will no longer be a member of the Batman News review team. With most books that I had been covering wrapping up-- along with getting involved in more and more comics projects outside of Batman News-- I have decided to step down from…
Detective Comics #1017 has quite a few things going for it that, by themselves, would make this issue worth recommending. It's a smaller-scale, more personally-focused story, which is always welcome. It has Bruce Wayne working to resolve a real-world problem in his civilian and superhero identities, which, again, is always welcome. And it's a one-and-done,…
It's been reported that character actor René Auberjonois has passed away. Auberjonois has had a long, storied career playing various bit parts and memorable roles. He was perhaps best known for his tenured runs on Benson and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, along with voicing Chef Louis in The Little Mermaid. Auberjonois has quite a…
