0 on The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries (2022) #3 reviewI realized today that I’ve been reviewing this book from the perspective of an adult fan of Scooby-Doo and for a moment I wondered if that was the wrong way to go about it. I don’t think that is the case, however. I’m a strong believer in the idea that if an adult can enjoy…
Here it is folks. Likely the most significant comic book release of the year. It has been a whole 28 years since the last two crossovers and 16 years since Spawn/Batman: Inner Demons (by this same creative team) was solicited and never released. So, why are we getting a sequel now? Well, the 90s are…
Batman/Joker is off to a good start. I enjoyed the first issue on all fronts but I feel it’s really here in the second that the series comes into focus. So, what’s working here? Let’s see! I was happy to see that issue two picks up the pace. The first part was very much focused…
Last month we were left with a cliffhanger as Brother Karl revealed himself to Jean-Paul as Father Valley (Check out Ram V’s excellent Catwoman run!) I have been consistently loving this book so at this point I go into each issue expecting something good. The question is, can the creative team maintain their momentum as…
This fortress has collapsed under its own weight. Not that it was ever particularly sturdy to begin with but at this point, it isn’t holding whatsoever. I’ve only given what I consider a positive review to one issue, so it doesn’t matter how good this latest release is, the book as a whole is not…
Batman and Scooby-Doo are back together again and this month they’re taking on Poison Ivy! My experience with the last issue was somewhat less positive than I would have hoped so I was curious to see how I would feel about this one. Let’s get into it! I’m happy to say I had a better…
At this point, I’ve come to expect that Sword of Azrael will be a good read each month. After last issue left us with the reveal of the monstrous “Angel Satan” I’ve been eagerly awaiting the follow-up. So, does Azrael retain its luster for the fourth month in a row? Let’s see! Okay, I won’t…
Batman/Joker: the Deadly Duo, is written and drawn by Marc Silvestri with colors by Arif Prianto. The conceit of the story is that Batman and the Joker must work together to save Harley Quinn. Sound’s interesting in concept but does it work out in practice? Let’s see! Joker fatigue is real and many people have…
As the reviewer of Batman/Joker: The Deadly Duo I recently had the pleasure of interviewing writer/artist Marc Silvestri, a legend in the comics industry. We had a great chat which I’m excited to share, so let’s get right into it! _________________________________________________________ I’ve read some of your early Cyber Force work and the difference in art…
Last month Batman and his team discovered the location of the Fortress of Solitude (again), so here we are to see their attempted break-in. Thankfully this issue isn’t as offensive as the last one but it’s certainly not changing my mind about the series. Let’s get into it. Once again, Fortress flounders because it has…
This comic can’t end soon enough. While I can’t claim it continues to get worse, staying the same is certainly bad enough. Seriously, here we are with the penultimate issue and it feels like nothing has happened. Not only in this issue but in the preceding four as well. In most cases, that would cause…
As the resident Scooby Doo lover at Batman News, this book was made for me. That doesn’t mean I’m going to let it off the hook for some of its shortcomings, but regardless of quality I am grateful for its existence. So, let’s get right into it! I’d like to get my principal complaint out…
We have now reached the halfway point of Dan Watters' stellar Sword of Azrael. Jean-Paul is still seeking the truth about the founding of the Order of St. Dumas as he tries to save Brielle Arnier from going down the same path as himself. There have been a few minor elements that I wasn’t hot…
This review is a little bittersweet for me. My first review for Batman News was issue two of Justice League vs. The Legion of Super-Heroes. I’ve also been enjoying this book more and more with each passing month so I’m definitely sad to see it go. Of course, it was already the most decompressed comic…
Last month I gave this title a positive review for the first time. It seemed that the book was finally on track with a clear direction, fun character dynamics, and a better tone. So, I’ve been looking forward to seeing what happens next. Let’s find out if our intrepid creative team can keep building on…
Ugh. Another month, another bad comic. Last issue ended with fake Cassie siccing the entire fake Justice League on Tim, Bart, and Connor. It made no sense then. (How will a fake Batman punching Tim make him accept a new life in this reality?) Spoilers! It makes no sense now. You can tell how I…
I’ve said it before but I think it bears repeating: issue two is always the point where a comic book begins coming together. I always know whether I want to keep reading or not at this point and the good news is, this story is still delivering. Issue one left me with a lot of…
Well, here we are with the penultimate issue of Justice League vs. the Legion of Super-Heroes. Last we saw them, the heroes were still talking about how dangerous the Great Darkness is. Will they finally take action, you ask? Of course not. Where did you get a crazy idea like that? I have such a…
Boy, this is something else. Less than a month later and this story is already complete. I’m still marveling. A two issue series! Big pat on the back to everyone involved. More two issue comics, please! But I digress, for I must now talk about the story within. We pick up this week with a…
We have reached the halfway point. Superman is still missing and Batman is now teamed up with Lex Luthor to try and put a stop to the alien threat. I’ve made it very clear how I’ve felt about this comic so far and as you can imagine, I was dreading this review. The last issue…
