4 on Batman & the Outsiders #8 reviewIf anything is clear after reading Batman & the Outsiders #8, it’s that DC editorial definitely got in Bryan Hill’s way when the series launched. This book is becoming quite a phenomenal read! If you’re not checking it out monthly – or planning to read the trade when it’s released – then you’re missing out.…
We’ve got a slew of releases hitting shelves tomorrow, so let’s not waste any time! 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 (or rant), and…
The holidays are upon us, and we all know what that means… A holiday special! DC is keeping with their “Year of the Villain” trend by spotlighting villains for this year’s special. Now, if you’re like me, then you may have been a little turned off by this. I want to have positive, happy thoughts…
In the second to last issue of Tom King’s Batman run, King decides to forgo plot progression for the sake of highlighting Thomas Wayne. Do we need this context? Yes. Do we get the answers we’ve been waiting for? Mmm… Kind of? Do the revelations in this issue justify everything Thomas Wayne has done leading…
We are officially in the thick of the holiday season, and if you work in sales or retail, you're probably - desperately - looking for a way to slip a "Help me!" or "Save me!" note to random people... That, or you're just trying to find time to sneak into the bathroom so you can…
This weekend, Donny Cates called a guy out on Twitter for openly admitting he pirates comic books. Aaaannnndddd things pretty much spiraled from there in the comic-twitter verse. I jumped in on a few conversations as well, and figured I’d bring my opinions here. Simply put, pirating is theft. Don’t steal. If your excuse is…
This review is late, but it’s late on purpose. If I had posted this yesterday when I sat down to finish this review, I would’ve been saying “$%@# you, Tom King!” repeatedly! So, prepare yourself, because while I’ve let some time and rest provide a little separation from my initial anger, I’m still freaking pissed.…
We're just a few hours away from this week's releases, so I'm not going to waste any time! 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 (or rant), and the…
I know I’ve said this before… but this is the best issue of Hill’s Batman & the Outsiders to date! The Story There’s no doubt that Batman & the Outsiders didn’t have the best start. The book’s debut was delayed a few months as Brian Hill and Dexter Soy were forced to incorporate the Year…
With the second chapter of The Batman’s Grave, Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch speed things up while also slowing things down. How is that possible? Find out below! Last month, I showered Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch with endless praise because of the quality of their debut for The Batman’s Grave. Seriously, they crafted one…
We’ve got a full slate ahead of us this week, and not all of the titles are books that we typically cover. With Year of the Villain/ Doom War, the entire infected arc, and the teases coming from Tale from the Dark Multiverse, there's so much crossover and expansion that needs to be covered to…
Typically, with King’s Batman, I’m usually all-in on whether I love it or hate it. This issue is different though. There are aspects that I really enjoy (thanks in large part to Mikel Janin’s incredible art), and then there are moments that qualify as “standard Tom King Batman.”… Which, in case you haven’t been keeping…
I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween! I took my nieces and nephews trick-or-treating and had a blast with them. Unfortunately, with Halloween behind us, I’m still facing horrors of a different kind… Christmas music. Every store I walk into, I’m hearing Christmas music. It makes me want to scream, “Save it for…
For the first Batman & the Outsiders Annual, Bryan Hill is teamed up with Max Raynor and Luis Guerrero as the team takes a side-step from the main plot, and pauses to focus on Katana. While the character focus is exactly where I, personally, want it to be, the story itself doesn’t really excite me.…
We all have varying opinions concerning Tom King’s Batman run, but if there is one thing that a majority of us seem to agree on, it’s that his one-shots and Annuals have all been pretty stellar! For me, this issue is no exception. Yes, this story is very different than anything he’s ever done, and…
Halloween is this week! I’m going to be taking my nieces and nephews out for some good trick-or-treat/ trunk-or-treat fun. I haven’t picked my costume yet, but it will most likely be Batman related. I mean, would you expect anything less? Will any of your – or your kids – be dressing up? If you…
We’ve got a solid slate of books this week, and I’m pretty excited for that considering how busy I’ve been lately. Also, I personally don’t have any books to cover this week, so I get to just sit back, relax, and simply enjoy some comics! Alright, on to business. This week’s releases are listed according…
Last month, I described Titans: Burning Rage as a “bottom of the barrel” comic book title. Most of this description was due to the generic and juvenile sense the book contained, and the reality that it simply isn’t written well. This issue, however, delivers some solid improvements. While it still isn’t worth jumping out of…
This month, Tom King continues to bastardize characters and write ridiculous plots and reveals as an excuse for how his entire run has been planned from the beginning. Needless to say, it’s more of the same nonsense that has many people anxiously waiting for him to leave the title and move on. Personally, Batman #86…
Passes for SDCC went on sale yesterday! Was anyone lucky enough to secure any, or were you all victims of the “blue circle of death?” I’m not going to lie, I was amused by a number of people’s posts on Twitter yesterday, and was surprised to see that registration got #SDCC trending! Steve Orlando even…
