4 on Batman & the Outsiders #10 reviewMaybe I haven’t been very clear in my past reviews, but I love this book and think it’s the best in-continuity title hitting stands for DC Comics! The Story After a slightly rocky start, Batman & the Outsiders has been one of the most consistent books in DC’s slate, and each issue builds on what…
I’ve praised Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch for the quality of their craft for months now, but lately, The Batman’s Grave has felt as though it’s been spinning its wheels without making much progress as far as the plot is concerned. To be fair, it’s clear this story is intended to be read in a…
Harley Quinn & the Birds of Prey #1 debuted today on the heels of Warner Bros. and DC Comics’ Birds of Prey & the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey. How does the book fair, and, more importantly, does the book serve as a solid companion for anyone who liked…
Birds of Prey & the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn opened over the weekend to some soft numbers. In what appears to be a hail Mary response, Warner Bros. is changing the name of the film to Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey. Am I surprised with the performance and name change? Yes and no.…
The best thing about the current Batman run is that it actually feels like a Batman book, where, for me, the preceding run failed to accomplish this. That alone is a major plus for James Tynion, Guillem March, and Tony Daniel. There are, however, many minor aspects and details that get under my skin. It’s…
Birds of Prey releases this weekend, and while I was originally not interested – and you guys know I’m a huge Birds of Prey fan – the latest media, feedback, and interviews has me rather excited. I know many have preconceptions, but I also hope they give the movie a fair chance. I think that…
Tom Taylor delivers his second issue of Suicide Squad, which contains more bombastic action and a good dose of character development as well! If you didn’t pick up the debut, you’re going to want to jump on this bandwagon before it’s too late. Trust me. The Story It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan…
I can’t remember the last time this has happened – or if it has ever happened… But every book releasing this week falls under “Take My Money” on the Anticipation Scale. It’s going to be a good – albeit light – week! Alright, on to business. This week’s releases are listed according to our anticipation…
We’ve got Apex-Lex versus the Batman Who Laugh’s infected acolytes! Will the confrontation live up to the hype, or will the lack of connectivity and continuity between these titles result in another disappointing turn of events? Find out below! The Story The moment I realized that Scott Snyder’s “Doom War,” Brian Michael Bendis’ “Year of…
After a solid debut in Batman #86, I was really looking forward to what James Tynion and Tony Daniel had to offer in Batman #87… Well, I feel let down. Not only does Tynion’s script drop in quality, but Daniel is nowhere to be found as Guillem March steps in to cover the art. It’s…
You know, I’m looking at the slate of books releasing this week, and despite getting review copies to read for free, I still have no desire to read half of these titles. I don’t want to purposely be negative, but DC has a problem on their hands when people have a chance to legally read…
The Batman’s Grave #4 is a high-action, violent issue, so if you’re looking for a little “BANG!” and “POW!” to spice up your life, this might be the issue for you! The Story Alright, so my introduction is a little misleading. My inclusion of “BANG!” and “POW!” should make any Bat-fan think of Batman ’66,…
Well, after a rather warm winter, we finally got hit with a cold snap here in Texas, and I’m loving it! Cold, gloomy weather makes me want to do nothing more than curl up in a chair and read some comics! Which, by the way, is exactly what I’ve been doing. Hopefully, this trend will…
I know I’m a broken record at this point, but Batman & the Outsiders just keeps getting better and better! The Story Last month, Batman & the Outsiders closed with Ra’s al Ghul calling a hit on Jefferson’s friend and employee, Tina. Because of that, I knew this issue would either come in guns-a-blazing as…
Tom King’s run on Batman was quite divisive. Many adore it. Many hate it. And many of us found things to both love and hate within the past 85 issues. I, for one, am personally glad to see a creative change, but a new team doesn’t necessarily mean a fresh start. Like it or not,…
Has everyone recovered from New Year's Eve? I would assume yes, but I’m sure many of you have now, begrudgingly, returned to work and are thinking back, fondly, to the yesterdays when you were off for holiday… You know, if you were off. I work in sales, so I definitely wasn’t one of those lucky…
Happy New Year!!! Ok, I know we’re not quite there yet, but we will be soon enough. The real question is who will be the real comic fans and waiting at their comic shop first thing on New Years Day! Alright, on to business. This week’s releases are listed according to our anticipation scale, with…
And just like that, we are done with Tom King’s Batman. Hold on to your butts, ‘cause this is an oversized review for an oversized issue, and this review is full of gif goodness! Many of us have been waiting for this day to come for months – perhaps even years – and now, it’s…
I’ve dreaded writing this, but this week’s review of Doomsday Clock will be Jay’s final (monthly) review with Batman-News. Jay has his own goodbye written, so I'll refrain from writing too much, but I want say this… When I decided to start writing for Batman-News, I thought it would be nothing more than a hobby.…
Three chapters into The Batman’s Grave, and I’m beginning to think this book is completely intended to be read as a trade because Warren Ellis’ scripts don’t seem to be structured for monthly consumption. The Story First off, I want to apologize for my delays over the past month. I’ve been working six-day weeks at…
