0 on Teen Titans Go! digital issue #43 reviewAhhh, prom. It's been... quite some time since I went to prom, but what I mostly remember about it was that it cost a lot of money and I unfortunately dressed in a vest that matched the catering staff. That was hilarious. Prom itself is seen as a necessary event in any teenager's life, though,…
There's one word that Scott Snyder has repeatedly used to describe the upcoming Metal storyline: "bonkers." I am so down with that, especially when you throw in terms like "melt-your-face" and "hard-rock space adventure." Sometimes we need a little insane craziness, so here's hoping this whole Dark Days and Nights venture delivers. The event doesn't…
It's the first weekend in May, so that means it's Free Comic Book Day! Be sure to head down to your favorite local comic shop and spend some time with your fellow fans, and pick up some cool free comics while you're at it. Like last year, DC isn't offering a whole lot as far…
SPOILERS: he doesn't. The "Nightwing Must Die!" arc wraps up this week, and I must say, it's super-duper weird. Remember in the previous issue how things got increasingly creepier the further Dick and Shawn went along? The deeper they went into the desert tomb, the crazier the imagery and more unsettling the atmosphere? Yeah, that's…
In my time here at Batman News, I've been exposed to a lot of new and exciting talent. One of my personal favorite discoveries has been the excellent work of Viktor Bogdanovic. Currently the penciler for the under-appreciated New Super-Man, Bogdanovic came to my attention through the better-than-it-had-any-right-to-be Batman: Arkham Knight tie-in. In an excellent move,…
The first issue of Batman/The Shadow is one of this year's big surprises. Despite one or two little stumbles, it's an engaging detective story from Scott Snyder and Steve Orlando with some stylized art from Riley Rossmo. For fans of a more detective oriented Caped Crusader, it's a breath of fresh air. Plus, it brings one of…
How I wish I was enjoying this more than I actually am. All of the elements for greatness are there: a meeting between two classic characters and their respective franchises; one of the Caped Crusader's most formidable villains; and an all-star creative team who know their way around the properties. Despite a few notable highs,…
Live from C2E2, DC Comics have announced a brand new line and marketing push. Dubbed Dark Matter, the line will see five brand new series spin out of Scott Snyder and Greg Cappulo's upcoming Metal miniseries. The line will see an impressive group of writers such as Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV team up with equally amazing…
What a week. With Superman #21 here, we effectively get two Super Sons issues in one day. What a wonderful world it can be. Before jumping into the issue proper, I just want to admire the opening page there and the very next panel. It's... it's just wonderful. Jon is so full of hope and…
Does Dick Grayson work best when he's in the desert? What could possibly prompt such a bizarre question? Stay with me here: in the past few years, two of the best issues of Dick Grayson's series have taken place in the desert. First there was Grayson #5, that masterpiece of a single issue that found…
Last month, I said this might be my favorite book on my slate right now. Yeah, I think I can eliminate the "might be;" Super Sons is great, and I look forward to it more than just about anything that I read. Three issues in and it's still going strong, delivering a healthy balance of…
And so Batman has encountered the ends of the earth. Not the locations, though; the actual events that would lead to the world's end. A world that ends in disaster. A world that ends in sickness. A world that ends in materialism. None of these endings will do, though. The only ending that fits, the…
Well this is surprising. Once the Batman '66/Wonder Woman '77 crossover concludes, our favorite Caped Crusaders will return for a one-shot crossover with the Legion of Superheroes. That's kind of left field and just a little bit insane, but let's see where it goes. As reported by 13th Dimension, the one-shot will serve as the…
The return of both Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan to DC Comics is a big enough deal, but reuniting for a maxiseries starring their most enduring creation? That's just downright amazing. Bane has been a big part of Batman comics recently, what with Tom King's ambitious "I Am Bane" storyline just wrapping up in the…
Super Powers is a lot of things. It's fun. It's bright. It's colorful. It's silly. It's crazy. It's funny. It's a simple, light-hearted all-ages book that advocates the virtues of goodness and heroism. It's a celebration of the entire DC Universe, with the universe itself serving as the main character. And that is precisely why…
Remember a while back when DC released Teeny Titans? It was a promotional tie-in for a mobile game that I'm not sure anyone ever played. There was no resolution within the comic itself, and it was literally nothing more than a twenty-page advertisement. Even still, it was so much better than this. "Goblin Catch 'Em…
You have no idea how hard I had to fight myself to not open the review with "look, up in the sky..." But really, this is Superman. It feels like Superman, and all of the unabashed optimism and hope that he brings. It's impossible to look at that spread above and not think of this,…
After a few read-throughs I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one. It's just so... weird. Of course, it does feature Professor Pyg as the primary antagonist, and that guy is nuts. From a narrative standpoint, though, this issue feels more like a collection of scenes and ideas than an actual narrative. Again,…
Let me tell you guys, FAN EXPO Dallas was great. Tons of great comics information was revealed over this past weekend, including the upcoming re-teaming of Snyder and Capullo on Dark Nights: Metal. Tom King himself was present as well, and he revealed lots of details about what he has in store for Batman. The…
It's finally here: the long-heralded reunion of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo. It's been teased for months, but now we know: Batman is going full. Blown. METAL. Yeah. Following the recently announced Dark Days event, Dark Nights: Metal will see the superstar creative team reunite on a story that frankly sounds bananas. Broadcasting live on…
