7 on First look at Sean Gordon Murphy’s “Batman: Curse of the White Knight,” coming this JulyIt's not often that something can truly be considered a phenomenon. Sean Gordon Murphy's Batman: White Knight miniseries, though? I think that fits the bill. After all, it was a runaway success, with widespread acclaim from fans and critics alike. What's more, it was a different take on the Batman mythos that felt like it…
Hot off the release of Mera: Tidebreaker, DC Comics have released a first look at their next DC Ink book: Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale. It looks as if this book is going to have a limited color palette, similar to Mera, which I am all about. That was one of my favorite creative…
Since its announcement a few months back, Tom Taylor’s DCeased has become one of the most highly anticipated series of 2019. I mean, sure, you could look at it as “just another zombie story,” but this is from the guy who wrote Injustice. That could have been “just another video game tie-in,” yet he turned…
There are as many individual artistic styles and creative processes as there are creators, with each writer, artist, painter, and letterer approach their craft in a wholly unique way. Besides their own styles, every creator has their own work station, where they can best get the creative juices flowing to deliver the comics that you…
Detective Comics #1000 may have debuted this week, but the celebration of Batman's 80th birthday doesn't stop there. The party raged on during day one of WonderCon, and DC Comics brought plenty of Batman goodness to share. The biggest news was that, starting with issue 1001, Detective Comics will have a brand new title logo.…
Just by their very nature, DC’s new Ink and Zoom lines are pretty exciting. Imprints aimed at young and young adult readers, with stories featuring beloved characters backed up by all-star creative teams? We need more of this in the world. But the fact that Art Baltazar and Franco are reuniting for a Superman book?…
One thousand issues of Detective Comics. Eighty years of Batman. That is insane. Much like they did last year with the thousandth issue of Action Comics, DC Comics are pulling out all the stops to celebrate the 80th anniversary of perhaps their most popular character: Batman. Truly, 2019 will be the Year of the Bat,…
Can Doctor Manhattan truly be considered a man any longer? It's not a question that Doomsday Clock proposes, at least not directly, but in preparing for this review I began running over how I was going to describe him. "A man," I kept wanting to say, because it's an accurate descriptor. After all, before the…
DC Comics’ partnership with Walmart stores has seen some great content released in a relatively short period of time. For around the cost of a normal comic, their 100 Page Giants give a brand new story from some of the industry’s hottest talent, plus several more “back issues” worth of related material. Not a bad…
It started with the hashtag #DCeased and the ominous phrase “Darkseid was.” Now, after a week of cryptic tweets, Tom Taylor has finally spilled the beans about DCeased: he’s writing a DC Universe zombie story. For the record, I totally called it. Yes, the mysterious DCeased is another apocalyptic, out of continuity epic from the mind…

Batman and the Ninja Turtles go for a hat trick as they cross paths once again in Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, just announced by DC Comics. Where the first series focused on the heroes saving Gotham City, and the second on saving the Turtles’ New York, the third crossover sees Krang get a hold…
The current story in Detective Comics, "Mythology," has been a thrilling read since it kicked off in issue #994. Under the pen of the inimitable Peter J. Tomasi, the arc has seen Batman investigate a murder mystery that has led him to various teachers and confidants from his past. While it may not have been…
Last year, DC Comics released DC Nation ahead of Free Comic Book Day, which was a 25-cent comic that had stories from heavyweights like Tom King and Scott Snyder. Besides being a lot of comic for a dirt cheap price, DC Nation also serves as a preview for some of 2018’s biggest storylines. In an…
The Justice League are thrown into a land of swords and sorcery as the Joker and King Shark try to overthrow Themyscira in the DC Primal Age 100-page Giant. If that description doesn’t pique your interest, then I don’t know what to tell you, friend. I mean, Batman rides a wolf. Awesome. Based on the…
This review was originally posted on Comics Now. A beat-up old pickup truck winds through the streets of Metropolis. At the behest of a pursuing police officer, the unseen driver pulls over to the side of the road. After a conversation about a busted taillight and the questionable safety of the vehicle, the officer demands…
There are two Batman (or Batfamily) books out this week that are high energy and with lots of forward momentum. While one is better than the other, they are both incredibly entertaining issues that will please fans of both properties. The superior issue, for the record, is Young Justice #1, which takes already high expectations…
If you’ve been wanting to catch up on some back issues, but don’t have the scratch to blind buy from your comic shop’s quarter bins, then I have good news for you: DC Comics is now available on ComiXology Unlimited. For a small monthly fee, you’ll have access to tons of DC Comics content, along…
It’s an event that hardly needs any publicity and hyping up, because we’re all excited for it: Detective Comics hits 1000 issues next year. Yet even if the issue’s mere existence will be enough to sell itself, DC Comics are certainly taking this opportunity to celebrate one of their longest running series and one of…
Superman can move mountains, stop an oncoming train, and restart a dying star. He can keep up with the Flash in a race around the world, and routinely matches wits with Lex Luthor. As exciting as it is to see Superman perform these astounding feats, as exhilarating as it can be watching him go toe-to-toe…
I'm of two minds about the episodic storytelling of Adventures of the Super Sons. On the one hand, taking a brief detour on an almost issue by issue basis allows for the boys to have lots of different adventures. That is part of the title, after all, so fulfilling the promise of plural "adventures" opens…
