31 on Batman #93 reviewYou know, it is quite telling when the story of a potential story that’s told inside your story sounds way more interesting than the story you’re actually telling… Wait, did you follow that? I said “story” a lot. The Story I’m just going to come out and say it… I did not like this issue.…
Look, I’m going to be honest, I’m not completely certain what DC is or isn’t releasing because their marketing has been… well… to say it’s been poor would be an understatement. So, take everything below with a grain of salt. For example, for their solicits and on their website, they have Batgirl and Teen Titans…
What? We’re reviewing The Flash at Batman News? Why? Well, it’s because the Suicide Squad is guest-starring in this issue, and… No, never mind. Just that. It’s because of the squad. Blame them, specifically Captain Boomerang. The Story There were many thoughts running through my head after reading The Flash Annual #3, and none of…
Last month, Ra’s al Ghul leveled Lady Shiva’s childhood home using alien technology – technology that he threatened to use to harm the Outsiders should they try to interfere with his plans. Naturally, the Outsiders are going to join together to stop him, right? Right? Well, eventually, yeah… But for this issue, they’re going to…
Friday, we lost a legend in the comic book industry, Denny O’Neil. If you’re not familiar with his work, I urge you to look up some of his stories. Viewed as the person responsible for returning Batman to his darker roots in the late ’60s, there’s no telling what Batman comics would look like today…
We’re just past the halfway point, and The Batman’s Grave is really starting to pick up some momentum! I think it’s fair to say that I’ve been relatively patient with The Batman’s Grave concerning its pacing. If any other book reached the halfway point and hadn’t really picked up by now, I’d probably be destroying…
Whenever we get a copy of Batman Secret Files, it’s usually a gamble on whether or not we’ll get more than one good story. Unlike these epic, anniversary issues, DC doesn’t really pull in their top talent for this. They just use it as an opportunity to showcase some of the up-and-coming talent – especially…
James Tynion’s Batman, for me, is like watching a reality show. There’s a lot of hype and melodrama, but in the end, there just isn’t much substance. And, honestly, that’s a shame because Tynion has some grand ideas, but the execution just isn’t there. The Story This week’s issue continues “Their Dark Designs,” which takes…
So, DC dropped Diamond as a distributor… I mean… That’s… Shocking. Expected, but shocking. I know many shop owners aren’t necessarily happy about this since it will require a little more work - and, potentially, money - on their end, but this could be good for the industry long-term. Only time will tell. For now,…
You all know I’m a fan of the Birds of Prey, and if you’re not aware of that, I implore you to dig a little more into my history. So, when this specific title was announced, I was quite excited. Brian Azzarello isn’t my favorite writer – he’s very hit and miss for me –…
We’ve got some solid releases hitting stands this week, and despite still being excited that comics are simply hitting stands, there are some titles that I’m really excited to get my hands on! JUNE 2nd TAKE MY MONEY Detective Comics #1022 “Ugly Heart” part three! Batman has been blasted with bullets and left for dead…
What… Just… Happened? I hope you’re ready, because this is going to be another review where I gush over the creative team and the book, because Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo are killing it on Suicide Squad! I mean it! This book has everything! This is easily the most fun, action-packed, in-continuity story hitting the…
Welcome back! Were any of you able to visit your local comic shop and grab some new releases last week? Wednesday was the first day that I was able to actually go in and shop my LCS since the pandemic began, and more than anything, it was nice to just catch up with the family…
We’re continuing our slow crawl to a regular release schedule come June. BUT, as I’ve been saying this entire time, if new comics are hitting shelves, then that’s a good thing! Also, if I’m not mistaken, Diamond will also start releasing new comics again, so if your local comic shop opted not to utilize the…
Welcome back to the Batman News Quarantine Book Club, where this week we will, once again, be covering two young reader titles. First up, Dear Justice League by Michael Northrop and Gustavo Duarte. This story is definitely targeted to the younger audience of the young reader line, and really dives into some cute scenarios and…
We’ve got another week of new releases as we ramp back up to a normal publication schedule come June! I’m curious to hear if any of your local comic shops opted to go with DC’s current distribution, or if they’re holding our for Diamond to continue shipping on May 20. Let me know in the…
Out of all of the titles that DC has chosen to release during this time period, I’m happy that Batman & the Outsiders is one of them! I’ve been singing this book’s praises for some time now, and I don’t feel as though it’s had the sales or support that it deserves. Hopefully, with little…
This Tuesday is going to be EPIC! Not only is Cinco de Mayo falling on Taco Tuesday, BUT with the new distributors that DC is currently using, new comics are now hitting shelves on Tuesday! Life is full of silver linings, so during a world-wide pandemic, you really just have to take the blessings as…
This is the first week that comic book shops will see comics hit their shelves since Diamond stopped distributing new comics a little over a month ago. Now, we’re not exactly going to see any newness in single issues yet – those will hit next week – but reprints and new trades will be hitting…
We’re in the final week of coverage for April’s Quarantine Book Club, so you know what that means… The announcement of our May schedule! Some of you sent in requests, so we wanted to make sure we considered and included those requests. We also received some general questions and requests about young reader titles. Due…
