26 on Nightwing #54 reviewNightwing reaches “dumpster fire” status for me this week, and considering the number of pages used to recap the story increases with each issue, I suspect we’ll have two-page plots before too long… I’ve made it very clear since the beginning that I’m not a fan of this concept. Taking a character and removing their…
Apologies for bringing you a rundown of tomorrow’s releases so late, however, we are working on something new that will post on Friday! I don’t want to speak for the rest of the team, but I’m excited about the new post, and look forward to getting your feedback and responses on it! I don’t want…
The past few issues of The Silencer have felt as if they’ve been moving towards a conclusion, and that feeling has had me wondering two things: Is DC preparing to cancel the series? And if not, where do they plan on taking this story after Talia is dealt with? Well… This issue answers those questions…
In this chapter of Justice League Odyssey, we blow through plots that could’ve been interesting and engaging just to get from one character’s worshipers to another character’s worshipers… It’s basically a waste of a really good plot. So, you know, that’s disappointing. I’ve been open and outspoken about why I dislike most of Josh Williamson’s…
Heroes In Crisis #3… Where everything you see should be questioned… Upon reading this issue, I couldn’t help but wonder if this is more in-line with what Tom King wanted Heroes In Crisis (or Sanctuary) to be from the beginning. And in wondering this, I then couldn’t help but wonder if we’re witnessing a quiet,…
We have a heavy load this week, so let’s not waste any time and get right to it! Alright, on to business! This week’s releases are listed according to our anticipation scale, with titles listed in alphabetical order within each sub-header. For each title, I’ll include the official solicitation, the talent credits, a random comment…
Nightwing continues to be a bit of a conundrum. There’s the elephant in the room, and that’s the fact that I’d hardly consider this a Nightwing book because, for all intents and purposes, this is not Dick Grayson. But at the same time, the narrative and characters (even Ric to a degree) are interesting. So,…
Thanksgiving is this Thursday here in the states, and I plan on spending it with my family. Naturally, I fully intend to eat way too much – turkey, stuffing, and pie, oh my! Then, in true American fashion, after spending a day being grateful, a percent of the country will then flood retailers and malls…
In this month’s Catwoman, Selina squares off against orderlies while Mrs. Creel deals with her husband… And that’s about it… If you’ve frequented the site over the years, then you’ve probably noticed that I tend to question when an artist transitions from illustrating comics to writing comics. This isn’t to say that an artist is…
I’ve had no internet all day today because some drunk dude decided to take out power lines near my house early this morning… So, here you are! Alright, on to business! This week’s releases are listed according to our anticipation scale, with titles listed in alphabetical order within each sub-header. For each title, I’ll include…
DC is back at it with a single floppy featuring two stories! Last time they did this, we received an incredible story featuring Deadshot, and a horrible story featuring Katana in Suicide Squad: Most Wanted… This time around we’re getting a potentially questionable follow-up to Katana’s story, and a whole new adventure with a squad…
This might be the best issue of “Ric Grayson’s run” of Nightwing, but it’s barely above average so I’m not certain that really says much. As I’ve stated in the past, the idea of a cab driver working the night shift to allow the opportunity to operate as a vigilante is an interesting concept. It…
I know I say this often, but where has the year gone? It feels like a month ago I was in San Diego with Andrew and Jay, but it’s really been over three months! Thanksgiving is in less than twenty days! Christmas and Hanukah will be here before we know it… And I haven’t even…
With DC releasing another set of crossovers featuring beloved characters from Hanna-Barbera on Halloween, I can’t say for certain if this was intended to be a trick or a treat. As with most crossovers of this nature, you get a mixed bag. Some are surprisingly entertaining or so outlandishly bad that they’re good… Meanwhile, others…
Another fan favorite is confirmed dead in this issue, and while I’m sure it will spark some negative feedback from annoyed readers, I still can’t deny that this is one hell of a book! Last month, Tom King sent shockwaves through the DC Universe when he debuted Heroes In Crisis. Established to help heroes cope…
Last week, it was announced that Batman-News.com was acquired by Techno Buffalo. While we are excited to be part of Techno Buffalo and genuinely look forward to the future of the site, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate Chris. For many of us, we’ve always associated Batman-News with Chris. He created the site,…
If I had to comment on The Silencer with only one sentence, it would have to be, “It continues to surprise me.” As for this chapter, in particular, it’s clear the creative team had a ton of fun with this issue, and that fun is infectious. I mean, the moment I opened this book, I…
While still not the grand space opera I was hoping for, Justice League Odyssey makes some solid improvements this week to give me a new hope. As you all know, I wasn’t overly impressed with the debut of Justice League Odyssey. My score for the book was still a positive one, but barely. While I…
In “The Witching Hour – Part 4,” Hecate now has control of Wonder Woman, and just like that, the hope our team had for victory seems like a fleeting notion! Justice League Dark has been one hell of a read so far, and James Tynion deserves all the praise he can get. He’s managed to…
I am/ have been focused on a big work project for my day job, so I’m going to keep this short and sweet. We’ve got a mixed range of titles this week, and I’m curious to see what you’re excited to read! There are titles that I’m definitely looking forward to reading, and others I…
