4 on Legends reviewIn 1985, the publishing company known as DC Comics was celebrating over fifty years of comic books, characters, and history. In that fifty years, they had introduced such characters as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and the Flash, as well as Robin, the template for any and all young sidekicks, and the premier super-teams the Justice…
Proving that all-ages comics can be as sharp as they are charming, the team of Art Baltazar and Franco return with Super Powers. Following the highly successful and genuinely great Tiny Titans and Superman Family Adventures, Super Powers follows Superman and Wonder Woman as they try to locate Batman, who has mysteriously disappeared. Into outer…
Previously, in Teen Titans Go!... The team was presented with the opportunity to appear in their own TV show. What would it be? A hard-hitting drama? A nostalgic throwback cartoon? A Spanish telenovela? And just how many man-eating sharks will be involved? Questions will be answered, loyalties will be tested, and suspenders will be…
*WARNING : SPOILERS openly discussed below* Come gather 'round, children, and I'll tell you a tale. A tale of men and super-men, big and small. A tale of legends reborn and made new. A tale of gods among men, and men among gods. A tale of warrior princesses, orphan sons, and all of the rest…
The long night of the monster men is over, and Nightwing is back in fine form. I won't trash that event, even though I felt it lacking on almost all levels, and I am glad that Tim Seeley doesn't outright brush it aside as if it never happened. The references to it, though small and…
DC's "Young Animals" imprint, spearheaded by My Chemical Romance's Gerard Way, is an initiative to look at some of the... stranger parts of the DC Universe. While the other titles in the line have resurrected and reimagined existing concepts (Doom Patrol, Shade the Changing Girl, and front-runner for coolest name Cave Carson Has a Cybernetic…
The Justice League, Earth's greatest heroes, will meet those Angel Grove teenagers with attitude the Power Rangers in a newly announced crossover coming this January. I could wax poetic about how crazy/great/awesome this sounds, but I'll let the press release speak for itself: "Will the Rangers be able to save Zack from Batman?" is an…
There's nothing wrong with this installment. It's tonally consistent with the rest of the series, the writing and illustrations are as good as you'd expect, and it feels like Batman '66 Meets Steed and Mrs. Peel should. There isn't much to dislike here. In fact, there isn't much here period. This is the briefest, breeziest…
Batman and Two-Face edge ever closer to their destination in All-Star Batman #3, while a deeper history between the two is revealed. After the zig-zagging narrative and outright zaniness of the first two issues, it's nice to have a little breather. That's just what this issue is: it's slow. It's pretty straightforward. It's even a…
Christopher Priest has accomplished something great with Deathstroke: he's balanced the ideas of a road trip, a family drama, and the exploration of a supervillain's inner psyche to create a genuinely gripping comic series. Even more surprising? He's made me care about Slade Wilson. Deathstroke has always been one of those villains that I've appreciated…
Straight from New York Comic Con, LEGO has revealed several upcoming sets sure to please any Batman fan. DC Comics and Warner Bros., in conjunction with everyone's favorite building block company, have announced brand new playsets based on two hot properties: The LEGO Batman Movie and DC Super Hero Girls. The first wave will be…
Holy monumental meet-up, Batman! Details are scarce at this time, but DC is reporting that the Caped Crusader and Amazing Amazon will team-up in an upcoming miniseries. Following the previous partnerships with the Green Hornet, the men from U.N.C.L.E., and Steed and Peel, Batman '66 Meets Wonder Woman will feature the first time the Dynamic Duo team…
News and announcements from New York Comic Con are coming out in full force today. In addition to Batwoman headlining her own series once more, DC has revealed plans for their all-ages DC Super Hero Girls line. First up is the new digital-first series Past Times at Super Hero High, the first issue of which…
Few characters have benefitted from Rebirth as much as Kate Kane. Once the star of her own acclaimed series, she had been relegated to occasional cameos and supporting roles in the past year. Thanks to DC's line-wide soft reboot, though, Batwoman has found new life as the more than capable lead of Detective Comics. Today, The…
Join the Titans as they embark on their most ambitious, dangerous mission yet: a two-part adventure! When Hollywood executives come calling, claiming to want to create a television show based on the team, imaginations begin to run wild. Will it be a nature documentary, complete with random shark attacks? Or maybe an action-packed Saturday morning…
NOTE: As before, go ahead and read Batman #8 before proceeding. The events of that issue lead directly into this one. The long night of the monster men approaches the dawn in Nightwing #6, the penultimate chapter in the Batfamily crossover. Up to this point, the story has left me cold. There's great talent involved,…
How do you build anticipation for a long-awaited new series? Why, you release another new series starring one of your most popular characters. That's just what DC Comics has done with their Injustice property: leading to the release of the video game sequel and its highly anticipated tie-in comic, Harley Quinn will star in her own spinoff…

Have you absorbed any and all media relating to it, leaving you wanting more? Do you long to know even the most mundane and obscure bits of trivia related to your preferred…

The series, which will launch out of the upcoming "Justice League vs. Suicide Squad" event, will be written by Steve Orlando and is expected to ship bi-weekly beginning in…
Let's get this out of the way: there is no dancing here, and therefore, no Batusi. Perhaps next week, but as it stands, that cover makes a promise and doesn't deliver. Yet. There are deathtraps galore, though, as Batman '66 Meets Steed and Mrs. Peel approaches the home stretch. With all the players on the…
