14 on Suicide Squad: War Crimes #1 reviewNow this is what I’m talking about! Suicide Squad: War Crimes #1 is the type of Suicide Squad story that I want to read on a monthly (or bi-weekly) basis! Considering Ostrander introduced us to the Suicide Squad, it’s no surprise that I hold his idea of this title on a pedestal. This is a…
It’s one of those magical fifth Wednesdays! You know what that means… Annuals. Or in this case, Annuals and some delays. If that doesn’t excite you though, we’ve have two additional cover polls this week: the All Star Batman #1 Variant Cover Poll and the Suicide Squad #1 Variant Cover Poll. I did my best…
DC released a preview of Teen Titans: Rebirth #1 before it hits shelves next month! Tell Pennyworth to make you a sandwich, and take a quick-five for a glimpse of what Damian and our favorite teen heroes will be up to this fall! TEEN TITANS: REBIRTH #1 Written by BENJAMIN PERCY Art by JONBOY MEYERS Colors by JIM…
Wally West is back with the Titans, and they’re ready to battle… themselves? In this week’s Upcoming Comics post, I expressed disappointment with the first issue of Titans. While I loved Rebirth and Titans: Rebirth, the debut issue of Titans left me unmotivated and unsure about the future of this title. To be frank, it…
I love when DC releases their solicitations! My mind starts racing to try and figure out how we’ll get to this point in the comics, what will happen, who will pop up, etc… Also, this is typically when I begin my love fest with the covers… It’s just exciting all around. There aren’t any new…
DC is releasing their November Solicitations this afternoon, so I’m going to keep this short and sweet to allow time to prepare that post. I’m not expecting any major announcements, but you never know what DC has up their sleeve. They’ll most likely save their major announcements for NYCC later this year. Other than that,…
I've been waiting for these three heroines to come back together ever since Birds of Prey was first announced for the New 52. There's just something about Babs, Dinah, and Helena that work so well together, and it feels even better considering Barbara is Batgirl, and that Helena has a high-ranking history with Spyral. It…
Prior to Suicide Squad’s Rebirth, DC announced that each issue would contain a main story that would take up roughly 12 pages of the issue, followed by a back-up story to finish out the last 8 pages. They’re doing this to ensure Jim Lee is able to meet his deadlines, but I wasn’t too excited…
There are a lot of really good titles this week, and I’m having a little trouble containing my excitement! Before we get into this week’s releases though, I want to touch on the creative teams behind these books, the work they provide, and why we do what we do here at Batman-News. The amount of…
Sean Gordon Murphy, of Batman Year One: Two Face & Scare Crow fame, announced some exciting news via Twitter this afternoon! After teasing various Batman themed artwork on social media for weeks, fans assumed the art was for Murphy’s upcoming run on Scott Snyder’s All-Star Batman… until he slyly confirmed that the art was for…
Kick off your weekend with this preview of Suicide Squad: War Crimes Special #1, the new one-shot by the legendary John Ostrander. SUICIDE SQUAD: WAR CRIMES SPECIAL #1 Written by JOHN OSTRANDER Art by GUS VAZQUEZ and CARLOS RODRIGUEZ Colors by GABE ELTAEB Cover by JUAN FERREYRA On sale AUGUST 31 – 48 pg, FC, $4.99 US – RATED T+ When…
I have a confession… I LOVE watching the summer Olympics! My DVR is working overtime at the moment because I’m recording anything involving swimming, gymnastics, soccer, rugby, judo, and more. And just as I did during world cup, all I can think about is, “What if DC characters were competing?” Can you imagine Bruce and…
This is my first official review for Batman Beyond, but if you take the time to check out our Upcoming Comics post each week, then you know I’ve been praising this book for a while now. Dan Jurgens, Bernard Chang, and Marcelo Maiolo have been killing it, and along with Injustice and Detective Comics, this…
On the eve of the film releasing, Suicide Squad has officially “Rebirthed.” As I did with most of the Rebirth titles, I came into this book anxious to see what direction the new creative team was going to take the narrative. What changes will we see? Will they be good? Bad? Weird? How well will…
Unfortunately, I have to start this week off with some sad news. Our ever-vibrant and bubbly Cat has decided she needs to step down from her responsibilities here at Batman-News! We’re sad to see her go, and will definitely miss the energy and fun she brought to the site. Make sure you give her a…
I may have enjoyed covering all of these guest appearances earlier in this run, but Deathstroke is really starting to feel like a chore under this creative team. On a positive note, this is the last issue that we will be reviewing (until Christopher Priest’s run brings in Damian, anyway), so at least I can…
The Killing Joke. There’s a good chance you’ve heard of this book. I mean, it’s only one of the most famous graphic novels of all time, and some would even argue it is THE most famous graphic novel of all time. Often considered the greatest Joker story ever told, The Killing Joke has served as…
I’m back from SDCC! I originally planned on writing this post on the train back to Los Angeles, but the moment I got on the train, I was informed that their wifi wasn’t working. I’d also made a promise to my other half that I wasn’t going to come home and just stick my head…
I have to apologize because I’m late getting this posted. I had a few things pop up on me right before Comic Con, and I didn’t get a chance to sit down and pull this together. That being said, Comic Con is in full swing, and I’m in the process of preparing a full recap…
We all know how I feel about Sean Ryan as a writer, so this might surprise some of you when I say that this issue wasn’t that bad. Trust me, I’m a little shocked myself. If you’re familiar with my reviews of New Suicide Squad during Ryan’s run, then you’ll probably remember that one of…
