53 on Batman #76 reviewBuckle up and hold on to your butts, kids… I’m about to give this book a good review. The Story Tom King delivers the second chapter of “City of Bane” this week, and while there’s still a plethora of problems stemming from past stories, this issue, within its own confinement, is quite good! This chapter…
Guess what?!?! We’ve assembled our new team! Ladies and gentlemen, it’s my pleasure to introduce the newest members of the Batman-News comics review team! Nancy Northcott Hi, everybody! I’m delighted to join the review team here at Batman-News. I discovered Batman (and Robin) and the rest of the DC superheroes in grade school. My grandfather…
I’m just going to come out and say it. This is a weird story. It’s not bad, but it’s definitely not great either. It’s just ok. Weird and ok. And underdeveloped. Look, it’s a plethora of things, but it’s really just a sign that Bizarro and Artemis are making their way back to the title……
We’ve reached one of the illustrious 5th Wednesdays! You know what that means… Annuals, Black Label, and the conclusion of mini/ maxi-series. There are some great releases slated for this week, so if you usually take 5th Wednesdays as an opportunity to save money, you might want to rethink that! Also, in case you didn’t…
We're back for another water cooler conversation to discuss this week's releases! You might notice that Brian is absent. Fear not, he is just taking a much-needed vacation, so you'll get the two Texans (Jay and Josh) and the European (Casper) for this week's conversation... But (and this is a big but!), we will have new…
Batgirl #37 delivers a new creative team in Cecil Castellucci and Carmine Di Giandomenico. As much as I’d like to say I enjoyed this book, I didn’t. It’s not terrible, but I found it to be quite average. There are aspects I enjoy, but the overall execution leaves me unsatisfied. The Story The big question…
I didn’t even go to SDCC, and I still don’t even know what day it is! Seriously though, my schedule has been insane and I’m looking forward to having a day off… Which just happens to be new comic book day! So, I plan on being lazy and reading tons and tons of comics. Alright,…
SDCC put us a little behind, but we were finally able to come together to discuss last week's releases. So, if you're all caught up with the announcements from this past weekend (and there were plenty!), then take a moment to hang out with us around the water cooler and let's talk comics! Here's This…
Ladies and gentlemen... Tom King has won another Eisner Award. Friday night, King won the 2019 Eisner Award for Best Writer for his work on Batman, Mister Miracle, Heroes in Crisis, and Swamp Thing Winter Special. For many, this win will be shocking. For many others, it will be validation. Where do you fall? Considering King's work…
The misadventures of Ric Grayson continue in Nightwing #62. Now, if you’re like me, then you were excited with the tease of the Court of the Owls for this issue… Unfortunately, we barely get any of that here. Instead, we get more repetitive nonsense and filler. We got Ric'd y'all. We got Ric'd... The Story…
Well… At least we only have to endure another ten issues of this instead of dredging to Batman #107 (or whatever number Tom King was originally supposed to end on). The Story Batman #75 debuts Tom King’s “City of Bane.” The first page is a splash page featuring the text “Later.” This is clearly here…
People! PEOPLE! SDCC is this week! I repeat, SDCC IS THIS WEEK! Now, while I’m excited for the event itself, I am a little bummed because I personally will not be attending this year. I’m looking to finally purchase a home by the end of this year, and I decided it would be better for…
Bryan Hill proves two things here. First, when he’s on his game, he’s incredible. Second, the quality of his writing is better when he’s exploring character rather than pushing the plot. Regardless, there are some really nice moments here, and some that just felt a little… odd. The Story We’re only three issues into this…
Believe it or not, I actually enjoyed Batman #74. The Story Put your pitchforks and torches down! I’m allowed to like a chapter of Tom King’s Batman if I want to. Despite what many of you may think, I don’t hate Tom King. I’m also not going to lambaste every issue of his Batman run…
It’s now or never! If you’re interested in joining the Batman-News comics review team, this is your chance! We’ve received a number of applications and will be closing the application period after July 14th. If you’ve been on the fence as to whether you should apply or not, the answer is yes, and the time…
For this week's This Week in Comics, we have a special guest joining us! Peter J. Tomasi! No. No, we don't. I'm sorry. That's a lie. There is no special guest. It's just your merry band of Batman-News reviewers. Sorry guys. This is my (Josh) first week hosting This Week in Comics, and I wanted…
This issue might be titled “Terrible: Finale,” but it is anything but as Mairghread Scott makes the most of what she was given to deliver a satisfying conclusion! I’ve made it quite clear that I’m sad to see Mairghread Scott leave Batgirl. I feel as though she’s done some of the best work with Barbara…
June may be behind us, but before publishers start releasing new books this month, we’re going to take a look back at some of the releases we loved but didn’t cover on Batman-News.com. Also, since June was Pride Month, I took it upon myself to read and cover some gay-themed comics. Now, as some of…
Happy July, everyone! We’ve got a solid slate of books ahead of us, but for those of you looking forward to Tom King’s Batman #74, I’m sorry to tell you that it’s been pushed back until next week. Now, for those of you in the states, we also have Independence Day to look forward to…
We’ve got a rather light week ahead of us, but if we get some quality books – and it looks as though that will be the case – then I’ll take quality over quantity any day! Also, our open call for those of you that are interested in joining the Batman News comic book review…
