12 on Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #3 reviewThe year escapes me, but I remember desperately wanting the Ninja Turtles sewer play set when I was a kid. Like, the original toys from the late Eighties. I was probably five, six at the most, and my parents looked all over the place for it, to no avail. Finally, one day, we visited my…
Batman: Arkham Knight- Batgirl/Harley Quinn #1: "Caged Animals" Written by Tim Seeley Illustrated by Matthew Clark Inked by Sean Parsons and Wade Von Grawbadger Colored by Rob Schwager Lettered by Travis Lanham Do you like it when Batman is a jerk?

The Batman Adventures, Vol. 3 Written by Kelley Puckett Illustrated by Mike Parobeck Inked by Rick Burchett Colored by Rick Taylor Lettered by Starkings/Comicraft We can all agree that this series is great, right? Even if you don't think it's quite at the level of the animated series, it's still a worthy successor and companion…
On February 8, 1914, 102 years ago today, Bill Finger was born. The unsung hero of Batman's creation, Finger went almost completely unrecognized for his contributions to the character until well after his untimely death in 1974. In fact, his first official credit on a Batman comic wouldn't come until 2014's Detective Comics #27, and…
I personally believe that the coming of Superman may one day be looked back on as one of the most significant events in human history. As will our response. These words, spoken by Senator Finch and no doubt read in Elastigirl's voice, serve as a perfect thesis statement in regards to the public's perception of…
When Gotham's most dangerous criminals escape from the Arkham Institute and join forces with international criminal organization T.H.R.U.S.H., will the combined crime-fighting camaraderie of the Dynamic Duo, Batgirl the Dominoed Daredoll, and those men from U.N.C.L.E. be enough to put those nefarious ne'er-do-wells back under lock and key? Well, probably, but it sure is…
Grayson #16: "Code Word: Swordfish" Written by Tim Seeley and Tom King Illustrated by Mikel Janín Colored by Jeromy Cox Lettered by Carlos M. Mangual A pulp thriller title. Spectacular chases and stunts in exotic locales. Globe-trotting adventure. Action and gadgets galore. And, err, gratuitous cheesecake. Every one of those elements is present in Grayson…
Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham Written by Mike Mignola and Richard Pace Illustrated by Troy Nixey Inked by Dennis Janke Colored by Dave Stewart Lettered by Dave Oakley What would Batman be like had he been written by H.P. Lovecraft? That is the question that the recently collected miniseries Batman: The Doom That Came to…
Superman: American Alien #3: "Parrot" Written by Max Landis Illustrated by Joëlle Jones Colored by Rico Renzi Lettered by John Workman Before we jump into this review, let's look at that cover. I like some of the details, like the Batsymbol in the boat's wake, but take a look at the central figure, the primary…
Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #2: "Last Turtle Standing" Written by James Tynion IV Illustrated by Freddie E. Williams II Colored by Jeremy Colwell Lettered by Tom Napolitano Comic books, though often seen as a medium for children, can still be used to tackle tough subjects and answer big questions. Watchmen is the first example that comes…

Written by Jeff Parker Illustrated by David Hahn Inked by Karl Kesel and David Hahn Colored by MadPencil Lettered by Wes Abbott Tone is a tricky thing. Just as much as the look of a TV…
Teen Titans Go! Digital-Issue #27: "Upgrade, Downgrade" Written by Ivan Cohen Illustrated by Marcelo Di Chiara Colored by Franco Riesco Lettered by Wes Abbott The Titans are back, and what better way to spend some time with them than watching Beast Boy play a video game and/or watching Cyborg install a new antivirus program?! …
Fifty years ago, on a cool (presumably), sunny (in places) day like today, Batman premiered on television screens across the nation. The series, with its bright Pop Art colors and tongue-in-cheek humor, rescued Batman from no uncertain obscurity and shaped the public's perception of the character for years to come. And rescue from obscurity it did, as…
Suicide Squad Vol. 2: The Nightshade Odyssey Written by John Ostrander Illustrated by Luke McDonnell Colored by Julianna Ferriter Inked by Bob Lewis Lettered by Todd Klein Task Force X, or the "Suicide Squad" as it's more popularly known, is one of the crazier concepts in comics that has found unlikely, long-running success. Beginning as…
The Dark Knight III: The Master Race #2: “Book Two” Written by Frank Miller & Brian Azzarello Illustrated by Andy Kubert Inked by Klaus Janson Colored by Brad Anderson Lettered by Clem Robins Here's a surprise: Commissioner Ellen Yindel may be the most interesting, sympathetic character in this whole affair.

Batman: Arkham Knight #12: “Scare Tactics/Epilogue” Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Ig Guara and Viktor Bogdanovic Inked by Julio Ferreira and Richard Friend Colored by Andrew Dalhouse and John Rauch Lettered by Deron Bennett It has to be a tricky business, writing a book like this. As a prequel/lead-in to an existing/forthcoming property,…
Batman/Superman #27: "Trust" Written by Greg Pak Illustrated by Cliff Richards & Jack Herbert Colored by Beth Sotelo & Wil Quintana Lettered by Rob Leigh Change is a constant. Superman is de-powered. Jim Gordon is Batman. Jason Todd sucks. Ok, that last one is also a constant, but two out of three isn't bad. For…
The Batman Adventures, Vol. 2 Written by Kelley Puckett Illustrated by Mike Parobeck Inked by Rick Burchett Colored by Rick Taylor Lettered by Tim Harkins Batman: The Animated Series was one of the most influential television series of all time, spinning off into a half-dozen other shows, introducing characters that made their way into the…
