1 on Absolute Evil #1 reviewHappy anniversary! No, not an anniversary of mine. Not an anniversary of yours either, although if you are celebrating an anniversary by all means, happy anniversary. No, the anniversary I'm talking about right now is the anniversary of the Absolute Universe! Pretty much one year ago today we had the DC All-In Special, which created the universe…

Next Wednesday, we get our first proper crossover of the Absolute universe with Absolute Evil, written by Al Ewing (Absolute Flash), with art by Giuseppe Camuncoli (Hellblazer) and Stefano Nesi (Batman). The one-shot will detail the meeting of several key players from the universe, from Ra's al Ghul to Hector Hammond, and feature looks at new characters such as this…

The Canon. Two words that come with oh so many implications, drama and confusion. With over 80 years of lore, it's impossible to have everything line up all at the same time. Sometimes, you don't want to have to deal with all that. Sometimes, you just want to sit back and read your favourite characters…

Back when I started writing for the site, I had the pleasure of reviewing Dan Jurgens and Mike Perkins The Bat-Man: First Knight. I seem to recall that at the end of that series, someone commented that, because it was called First Knight, it would probably have a follow-up. I remember thinking to myself, "You know, I…

Here it is! The first DC/Marvel comics crossover in over a decade. For a crossover this big, we had to do a little crossover of our own. Batman News reviewers, past and present, are coming together to let you know if it's worth all the fuss. Deadpool/Batman: "The Dead of Knight" Chip: Via editorial power the…

On the 10th of September, comics retailers received word from DC Comics that all orders for future issues of the newly released Red Hood series would be cancelled. DC Comics cancels existing orders for Red Hood #2 and Red Hood #3, and any orders for future issues of the series. DC Comics will credit retailers…

Put on your dancing shoes, because it's time to do the time warp and send ourselves back in time for another adventure in Victorian Gotham! Last time, I found myself pleasantly surprised at how much I found myself enjoying a series I had had middling to negative feelings about so far. So, what say you?…

For those who have kept up with the current Gotham by Gaslight series, and my reviews of it, you should know one thing: this series has felt like continual set up. The whole first 6 issue miniseries felt like set up for the Justice League, and the first issue of A League for Justice felt like set up for the…

Since 2006, New York Comic Con has been a staple in the yearly Comic Con circuit. Every year, thousands of fans can gather at NYCC to buy exclusive goodies, meet artists and writers, and of course, attend panels to find out more about upcoming comics, movies and tv shows. Now, we finally get to get…

The DCAU is much beloved for its original characters. Harley Quinn, Renee Montoya, Livewire, the list goes on. My favourite though, will always be Terry McGinnis, Batman Beyond (or for us over in the UK or Australia, Batman of the Future.) I suppose it's good luck then that DC have just announced a brand new…

Sonic's having a pretty good run of things at the moment, huh? He's got a pretty sweet new racing game coming out, a very popular film and TV franchise, a Magic card set, and that's all without mentioning this crossover. This series has really grown on me. When I read the first issue, I think…

Welcome back my fellow historians! In this month's issue of New History, we're tackling a time and events I'm slightly more familiar with. The founding of the JL, The Teen Titans, heck, maybe even a Crisis! Can the book provide a definite answer to the age old question of what's canon or not? Read on and…

At the DC All In: What's Next panel at San Diego Comic Con this Thursday, the creative crew present confirmed the first crossover in the Absolute Universe: Absolute Batman and Wonder Woman. Scott Snyder (Absolute Batman) confirmed this on his Instagram, with an image of the two and the caption: Hayden Sherman, notably the artist…

This October marks the first anniversary of DC's All In initiative, as well as its Absolute line. To celebrate, they've announced 2 Absolute universe one-shots, as well as pivotal issues in each of the books. The highlight of these one-shots takes the form of Absolute Evil, written by Al Ewing, with art by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Stefano Nes. The comic…

Well well well. After an 8 month hiatus (although I suppose technically it's just a break between 2 series), we are back in the universe of Gotham By Gaslight. If you read any of my previous reviews, you'll know that I wasn't a fan of The Kryptonian Age. So, let's see if this new series…

James Gunn stopped in London for a Superman fan event and to answer some questions about the new film and what to expect from the DCU. On July 1st, I was lucky enough to be able to attend a couple of the events as part of the London stop of the Superman world tour. First…

This year is a year of new beginnings for DC. The whole DCU movie reboot, the All In and all the Absolute books, there are truly so many points for new readers and longtime fans to jump back in. Although, whenever you have reinventions and reboots, it's bound to contradict something that's already been written,…

Next week, New History of The DC Universe will hit the stands. Written by Mark Waid (Kingdom Come, Worlds Finest, Superman: Birthright) and drawn by Todd Nauck (Amazing Spider-Man, Teen Titans Go!) and Jerry Ordway (The power of Shazam!, Crisis on Infinite Earths) the series will chronicle a revised, canonical history of the DC Universe. It will release in 4…

Boy, there's certainly a lot of Batman-related news in the air right now isn't there? The Batman: Part II rumours seem to be coming everyday, a Clayface movie, the list goes on. It just so happens that this book is doing very well at filling in the wait time with some very good looks at these characters... The Clay-Man…

Alright folks, let's do this one more time. When I started writing for this site, one of the first series I reviewed was the original JL vs G vs K, starting part way through at #6. I remember being very disappointed in it, and even more surprised that it was due for a sequel. Now, the…
