While I haven’t been loving the main Dark Crisis event, I’ve certainly had a better experience with it than Nick (check out his latest review) and I think many of the tie-ins have actually been great! Dark Crisis: Young Justice, however, has stood out as easily the worst part of the event thus far. It…
So here we are with the first issue of the Sword of Azrael miniseries. If you’d like to read my review of the prelude, Dark Knight of the Soul, you can find it here. I really loved that story so this one has a high standard to live up to. Does it succeed? Let’s see!…
Azrael: Dark Knight of the Soul is a one shot written by Dan Watters with art by Nikola Cizmesija, that compiles all three chapters of last year's Urban Legends story. This reprint provides everyone with the opportunity to catch up ahead of Sword of Azrael #1, which is also out today. I’ll be reviewing that as…
Batman: White Knight Presents: Red Hood is a two issue story that gives background on the White Knight version of Jason Todd and his life between the time he spent as Robin and his return as Red Hood. It also acts as a fill in story for the month break in Beyond the White Knight’s…
Fortress #3 sees Batman continuing to try and find a solution to the crisis at hand. In the process he searches out a few possible allies. I haven't been enjoying this comic so far. Has my opinion changed? Well... no. Here's why! At this point, I am thoroughly bored with this comic. While that’s the…
Alan Grant is a favorite among us all here at Batman News. With his passing, we wanted to talk a bit about our favorite Grant penned Batman stories. I think I speak for my fellow reviewers when I say, almost every Batman comic written by Grant are good. The vast majority are, in fact, great.…
Young Justice continue on their Dark Crisis adjacent adventure in this issue written by Meghan Fitzmartin and drawn by Laura Braga. Luis Guerrero also continues as the colorist. Bart, Connor, and Tim now have to try and discover just where they are and how they can get back to their own world. Well, last month…
After a one month and one week delay, Justice League vs. the Legion of Super-Heroes (still a nonsense title) is finally back in action! As a reminder, the last issue ended with both teams being scattered through time and despite some skepticism, it did give me a renewed interest in the series. The question now is,…
In my review of Fortress #1 I was pretty clear that the book left me wanting. Despite the problems that I had with it, there wasn’t much plot development and too many questions left unanswered to feel like I had a handle on the direction of this series. Now with issue #2 we get more…
Dark Crisis: Young Justice is a tie-in miniseries to the current event plaguing the DC universe (Check out Nick's first Dark Crisis review here). Wile the main event focuses on a range of different characters, this mini puts focus specifically on the Young Justice characters and shows how they deal with the death of their…
The DC Pride: Tim Drake Special is a collection of all the character’s recent stories featured in Urban Legends along with one new tale. Between them all we see Tim discover his sexual identity, reveal it to Batman, and make peace with his old girlfriend. Is it worth picking up? Let’s see! I want to quickly…
Batman: Fortress by Gary Whitta and Darick Robertson essentially poses the question “what would Batman do if the Earth was under attack and Superman was missing?” While I’m reserving judgment on whether it succeeds with this idea until we get a bit further into the series, I do have a lot to say about the…
Here we are again with another edition of Justice League vs. the Legion of Super-Heroes. When reviewing the latest issue of a series (especially a mini-series) the question that is really being asked is: “has anything changed since last month?” and in many ways the answer is "No." Issue #3 is very much in line…
Chapter two starts out with a flashback to Kala Lour, Gold Lantern’s, past. This sequence starts a trend that the book holds for the rest of the issue: nothing happening. This is the crux of my problems with this issue as a whole. When the plot is moving it becomes far easier to forgive little…
