29 on Nightwing #61 reviewWelcome back to the misadventures of Ric “I’m not a hero but let me go save people” Grayson. I will admit that this is one of the better issues of this run – or maybe I’m just getting used to this mess – but it’s still not great. Before you jump into my review… Do…
I’m shuffling through an abundance of opinions trying to determine the best way to speak to this issue, and I honestly don’t know where to start. I mean, we actually get some plot progression, but everything else is just so… “Tom King Batman” that I genuinely hate this issue. Oh yeah, I said hate. Get…
There have been quite a few announcements from DC over the past week! Some of it is definitely worth getting excited for, while others might have you a little concerned. On one front, we have Phantasm joining Tom Kings Batman/ Catwoman… And yes, this would be where my concern lies. DC also announced Gotham City…
Bryan Hill delivers the second chapter of Batman & the Outsiders, and while this issue is action-packed and high energy, it’s not as good as the debut. Is this a problem with the book itself, or an unfortunate symptom from DC’s delays and mandates? Find out my take below. If you didn’t check out Batman…
Last week, we lit our Bat-signal in search of great, new talent to add to our comic review team. The signal is still lit, and if you thought about joining but didn’t submit, then the time is now! The details for submitting can be found here! What are you waiting for? Alright, on to business.…
For this chapter of Batman, Tom King writes a monologue! Let’s face it, King’s run on Batman has lacked momentum for a good while now. I’m bored to tears with it, and I was already irritated with it before I became bored. With the announcement that King would exit Batman with issue 85, I was…
Wherever you look, there are inspirational teams all around us. The Justice League. The Outsiders. The Titans. The Teen Titans… But how would you like the join the best team of them all? The Batman-News Comic Review Team (the team name is a work in progress, but does not take away from the epicness of…
Here it is folks… The conclusion to Heroes in Crisis. If you came into this issue hoping for some sort of redemption for Wally West, or perhaps just a satisfying conclusion to the book itself, I’m sorry to tell you that it doesn’t happen. While there are moments that are impactful, they tend to be…
In case you missed it, we received some big news last week! Tom King will be leaving Batman. I’m certain the reaction to this will be mixed – many of you feeling crushed, while a number of others rejoice. Personally, I’m ok to see him leave the main title. As you all know, I haven’t…
We have bad news… Dan will be leaving us. I’m a little upset. Dan’s tenure with Batman-News has been short, yet impactful. Why was it so impactful? I’m not sure… Maybe it’s because he’s European. Maybe it’s because he adds a “u” to words like “favorite” or “color” (note that I spelled them correctly… ‘Merica!).…
This month, the Nightwings discover that water can stop fire. Ric Grayson is apparently on the same level as Neanderthals. Look, this review isn’t going to be very long. There’s really not much I can say about this title that I haven’t said before, and there’s honestly not much in this issue that sets it…
Are… Umm… Are we sure we’re not in the “Knightmares” arc still? Because it kind of feels that way. This issue consists of two separate narratives. One of which involves Batman, Bane, Thomas, and Alfred, while the other consists of Batman and the Bat family… And yet, despite this, barely anything happens in the issue.…
I’m unfortunately under the weather at the moment, so I’m not feeling as motivated as I typically am. While I love reading comics, I really just want to sink into my couch and watch movies. But, here I am with this week’s releases! But before we get into specifics, I just want to say that…
Finally! Five months after it was originally supposed to be released, we’re finally getting Batman & the Outsiders! If you’re like me and love these characters, then you’re probably super excited to get your hands on this book, especially considering the incredibly talented Bryan Hill and Dexter Soy are the creatives behind it. Now, the…
Yesterday was free comic book day! Did you hit up your local comic book store to score some sweet freebies? Was your shop raffling anything special for the day? My LCS posted a video leading up to free comic book day showcasing all of their free comics, exclusive merch, and additional swag they were giving…
DC released their Year of the Villain Special #1 and when the one-shot was announced, I was really excited. But then, when I started thinking about the story and what it was supposed to be setting up, I realized that all of these stories were already being published. We’re already getting Perpetua, the Legion of…
So… This concept of progressing a story… I’d love to see it happen at some point… This issue doesn’t really offer us anything more than, “Batman wakes up, makes threats to Bane, and punches people as he walks out of Arkham Asylum.” So, not only does it not give us anything new, but it’s executed…
Did you see it? Did you see Avengers: Endgame? I went Saturday morning (by myself), then again Saturday night with my other half. I was a little surprised to see people just rolling up to the theater trying to get tickets for the next showing… And then looking super confused/ shocked when they’re told the…
Last month I complained that Tom King wasn’t providing any plot progression. That’s definitely not the case here. This month, Heroes in Crisis delivers a lot of information. I’m talking a huge info dump. One big, steaming pile of exposition that’s dropped right into your lap, and all I want to know is… What’s the…
Look, I’m not saying that I’m not excited about this week’s releases, but I’m really just shooting to get to this weekend so I can see Avengers Endgame! I. Can’t. Wait. Also, as a result, I’ll be avoiding all social media from Thursday through Saturday, so if it seems as if I go MIA, that’s…
