1 on Nightwing: The New Order #5 reviewWhat a wild ride this series has been. The quality swings so wildly from issue to issue that I don't know what I'll think of the whole thing until it's all over. That's true of most series, sure, but my appreciation for Nightwing: The New Order has shifted chapter by chapter. It's kind of the…
For decades, there were two primary Batman titles: Detective Comics and Batman. Sure, Bats and his extended family would show up in a variety of titles, such as World's Finest, Justice League of America, and the like, and there were even Batman-branded titles like Batman and the Outsiders, Batman Family, and The Brave and the…
Before you read this review or, more importantly, this issue, you really need to read Superman #37. I mean, sure, you should already be reading Superman anyway because it's been one of the best DC titles in recent memory, but Super Sons here is the second part of a crossover that began in today's issue…
Now this is a bit more like it. I was really excited about the prospect of a second meeting between Batman and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. While the debut issue of the miniseries was passably entertaining, there were enough storytelling problems to dampen my enthusiasm. Gone was the almost delirious joy of seeing two…
Sam Humphries is a delight. After talking with Batman News a few short weeks ago, the newly-minted Nightwing scribe had another chat with us about his debut on the title. We talked for quite awhile about anything and everything to do with his upcoming Nightwing arc "The Untouchable," including new Blüdhaven landmarks, Dick Grayson's new…
The new age of heroes is here as DC prepares to roll out brand new titles over the next few months. With creator talent featuring the likes of Scott Snyder, Steve Orlando, Jim Lee, Andy Kubert, and many, many more, the appropriately branded New Age of DC Heroes (formerly known as Dark Matter) will see…
When Darwyn Cooke passed away at the all-too-young age of 53 in May 2016, he left behind a legacy of great stories and even greater artwork. In the wake of his passing, DC has wisely opted to re-release several of his most beloved stories so fans can experience them anew. While he was best known…
It's no secret to comics fans, but Batman co-creator Bill Finger has gone too long without getting the proper recognition he deserves. He played a huge role in forming one of the most enduring fictional characters of the past century, after all. Long absent from credits pages thanks to some legal shenanigans, Finger's name was…
It's Christmas time in Titans Tower, and that means presents, milk and cookies, and deciphering the true identity of Santa Claus. ...wait, what? Yes, it appears that the Titans have more questions about dear old Saint Nick's actual identity that tradition and actual history do not satisfy. It all starts innocently enough, with the group…
We have reached the end of an era. Tim Seeley has been writing Dick Grayson pretty consistently for the past several years. He and Tom King detailed Dick's exploits as Agent 37 of Spyral in Grayson, one of the most unique and surprisingly excellent new comics of the decade. After a brief hiatus to prep…
Back in 2015, the first crossover between Batman and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was announced. What could have easily been a series that phoned in its story and traded heavily on nostalgia was actually really good. Penned by James Tynion IV and illustrated by Freddie Williams II, the series had great character interactions and…
SPOILERS: While I don't spoil anything regarding the outcome of the story, I do mention a few surprising character appearances, so come back after reading the issue if you don't want to be spoiled. I'm just going to come out and say it: this annual is cute. Adorable, even. For their first foray into annual…
For the past year and a half, Tim Seeley has done Nightwing proud. While his run on the character is coming to an end in December's Nightwing #34, he's leaving the character in the capable hands of Sam Humphries. Fresh off a great run on Green Lanterns (which, funny enough, Seeley is now writing), Humphries…
Last year, DC Comics released their New Talent Showcase, a collection of shorts to spotlight recent graduates of their writing and art programs. As a collection it was a mixed bag, but the intent was noble and allowed some fresh faces to flex their creative muscles. Honestly, I thought that the recent House of Horror…
It's summer vacation for the students of Super Hero High, and with it comes opportunity for new adventures. With the school year behind them, what are the likes of Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Katana, Harley Quinn, and the whole crew going to do on their break? Spend it apart, apparently. This is bad news for Wonder…
Happy Thanksgiving/Thursday, everyone. With the Christmas holiday fast approaching, retailers and toy manufacturers are ramping up their offerings on sweet merchandise you can purchase either for yourself or loved ones. Our good friends at LEGO in particular have tons of great DC Comics and Justice League themed sets this year, ranging from smaller affordable builds…
Well, last issue was pretty good, right? After the slow moving debut issue, Nightwing: The New Order took its time getting anywhere interesting. The second issue was even slower than the first, aiming for pathos yet not quite hitting the mark. I know I should be feeling something for these characters, especially when so many…
There are toys and figures of all types these days: LEGO sets, action figures, busts and statues. If you're a collector, chances are you'll find something out there to like. Jada Toys, makers of remote control and metal toy cars, have a new line of collectibles: Nano Metalfigs. The die-cast metal figurines, each about an…
It's one of comics' biggest mysteries, as well as one of the biggest "holy crap" moments to come along in years: the characters of Watchmen are coming to the DC Universe. Once viewed as a standalone work, and rightly so (barring Before Watchmen, which I've heard isn't as bad as you'd expect but on the…
One of the most endearing qualities of DC Comics is their incredibly diverse stable of characters. Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman are three of the most recognizable characters in the world, for one thing, and characters like Supergirl, the Flash, and even Aquaman have become household names. Factor in oddities like Plastic Man, Ambush Bug,…
