3 on Grayson Vol. 5: Spiral's End reviewGrayson was a tricky prospect. Taking Dick Grayson, one of the oldest established characters in comics, long known as the beloved Nightwing, and turning him into a spy? That's gutsy. Fortunately, the venture paid off, as Grayson was as one of DC's best books for its entire run, and that acclaim in turn catapulted Tom…
As reported the other day, DC Comics will be hosting a live-stream of a panel featuring Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo this weekend. The panel, broadcast live from FAN EXPO Dallas this Sunday, April 2, will stream beginning at 1 p.m. CDT on both the DC Comics and Batman Facebook pages. Full details are still…
So what's today's secret word, readers? Today's secret word is... APATHY. Now, you all remember what to do whenever anyone says the secret word, right? You... Wish you were doing something else. And scream, I guess. Dark Knight III: The Master Race debuted in November 2015. That was sixteen months ago. Since then, it has…
We're living in an age of reboots, revamps, and retreads. With countless properties being mined to draw attention to classics of yesteryear and, more likely, make what was old new again, there's scarcely a property out there that could be immune to a modern retelling. There's nothing inherently wrong with updating a property; on the…
It's no secret that Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, superstar team of the New-52 Batman title, were planning another project together. Snyder hasn't been shy about hinting at their reunion, and after the details of Dark Days were released this past week it only seemed like a matter of time until there was an official…
I'm going to be real here: this is pretty much Fan Service: The Comic Book. As much as this series has built to a climax, it almost takes a back seat to a near-endless stream of jokes, references, and homages. In any other comic book this might annoy me, but here? Batman and the Ninja…
Is this what Batman and Wonder Woman needed? To come back to the eras of their shows? It looks that way, as this series seems to have found more confident fitting now that it's firmly back in the Sixties. With the sojourn to the Forties in the first two installments, Batman '66 Meets Wonder Woman…
We were promised a big summer event, and we sure are getting one. Details have just been released regarding Scott Snyder's long-gestating project, revealed to be titled Dark Days. He and Detective Comics scribe James Tynion IV will write Dark Days: The Forge and Dark Days: The Casting, and joining them will be superstar artists…
Legendary horror artist Bernie Wrightson has passed away due to complications from brain surgery. The artist, who is best known for his work in horror comics, has also contributed pencils to various Batman comics over the years. His most notable Batman work is likely the miniseries Batman: The Cult, in which he collaborated with legendary…
It's Nightwing and Robin's European Vacation as Dick and Damian make their way to France in search of Shawn. If you haven't been feeling this title recently, or have even moved away from it altogether, then fear not: the narrative is turning around and coming together. At least, it starts to after a while. The…
Super Sons accomplishes something that too few comics do these days: it is pure joy. From beginning to end, this book is an outright blast, and even though it's only in its second issue this might be my favorite book on my slate right now. A lot of what makes this book work is the…
Think of the last great Mad Hatter story you read. When you do, let me know what it is. I don't say that to be snide, I'm genuinely curious what the great Jervis Tetch stories are. Right now, I'm drawing a blank. When I think of a good Hatter story, I think of "Perchance to…
Ask anyone their favorite episodes of Batman: The Animated Series. Let's say top five. I'm willing to bet that more often than not, "Almost Got 'Im" will at least be somewhere on most of those lists. If you're not familiar with it, the episode's premise was simple: a group of Batman's rogues are playing poker,…
The LEGO Batman Movie has been a huge boon for fans: it's hilarious and heartfelt, poking fun at some of the sillier aspects of Batman while still celebrating the character through and through. There's something in it for every fan of the Caped Crusader to enjoy, with loving nods to the early 1940s serials all…
We can all agree that LEGO is a pretty great idea, right? Multicolored blocks of various shapes and sizes that can be used to build pretty much anything you can think of. There's something therapeutic in putting together everyone's favorite Danish building blocks, and the added bonus of sets featuring your favorite licensed characters makes…
A new creative team means a new direction for Detective Comics. With the exit of John Layman and Jason Fabok, Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato jump on board as the new all-star "storytellers" to begin their acclaimed run on the title. Eschewing big, bombastic threats in favor of smaller, mystery-oriented stories, Manapul and Buccellato's Icarus…
A few weeks ago, DC Comics teased some crossovers between some of their most popular characters and the Looney Tunes gang. Truly, this bit of synergy is just the amount of delirious insanity we need right now. Now, after weeks of hints from various creators on Twitter (including some amazing dialogue that I hope makes…
The Titans have fallen before that wretched foe. The one we all fear. The one that, inevitably, will come for us all. I'm speaking, of course, of... Code violations and exorbitant household repairs. Yes, even after saving Jump City yet again, the Titans are still susceptible to the most mundane, frustrating realities of everyday life. …
Have I told you about Lunch Lady Darkseid? Because I'm going to tell you about Lunch Lady Darkseid. See, Baltazar and Franco here used to have a book called Tiny Titans. It was charming and adorable. It ran for over fifty issues. It spawned a few spin-offs and miniseries. And it had Darkseid. As a…
Must he? I mean, we all like Nightwing, right? Does he really have to die? Alright, enough with the dad jokes. Point blank, this issue has me torn. There's quite a bit about it that I liked, and quite a bit that I didn't. What I liked about it were relationships and aspects that have…
