3 on Batman: The Definitive History of the Dark Knight reviewIt’s hard, if not outright impossible, to make a definitive and comprehensive record of something that hasn't reached a stopping point. Even if you cover as much historical background as possible, you will never reach a true ending because... well, there will be more to tell. Sure, you can focus on a certain timeframe or…
If you follow my writing here at Batman News, then you likely know how much I love Downtown Bookworks and their DC Super Heroes books. They've got stuff for kids of all ages, and there's usually plenty to tickle the fancy of parents, uncles, and aunts, as well. Downtown's latest is here, and instead of focusing…
We're but a week away from the official release of Batman: The Definitive History of the Dark Knight, and I cannot wait for you guys to get your hands on a copy of it. Like I've said before, I'll have a review up in the next few days, but I can tell you now that…
Chronicle Books and writer Shea Fontana have come together for DC: Women of Action, an exciting and engrossing spotlight on DC Comics' most prominent female characters and creators. Shining a light on characters both good and bad, this is a great book that shows that these strong women don't always need powers to be super.…
Heading to New York Comic-Con? If so, be sure to swing by Booth #1946 to see the good folks at Insight Editions. They’re behind such great books as Masters of Comics and DC: Anatomy of a Metahuman, and this October they’ll publish Batman: The Definitive History of the Dark Knight. You know, the one with…
If I haven't said it before, then I will now: Insight Editions are quickly becoming one of my favorite book publishers. They're constantly putting out great content, be it interactive books for kids to collections of comic art to spotlights on comic creators. This October, they'll release what may be their best book yet when…
Batman was inducted into the Comic-Con Museum’s Character Hall of Fame at San Diego Comic-Con, and it was a party, let me tell you. I was fortunate enough to attend the induction ceremony, where the Museum had tons of great Batman items on display. From film props and costumes to playable video games to not…
2019 is a big year for Batman. It's his 80th anniversary as a character in general, as he first appeared in Detective Comics #27 way back in 1939. That same title reached a thousand issues just a few months ago, and has been going strong ever since. Batman's even celebrating a film anniversary this year,…
I repeat myself, but Downtown Bookworks is the single best publisher of super hero-based kids books in the market, and it isn't even close. Their ever-expanding library serves a wide range of ages and topics, but the common threads are always there: they treat kids with respect, and they show great veneration for pre-modern DC…
If a cluttered desk is the sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign? This quote, attributed to Albert Einstein, is an almost tongue-in-cheek way to begin the forward for Masters of Comics. The new book from Insight Comics shines a light on over twenty different comic book artists,…
The folks over at Insight Editions and Insight Comics have been pretty good to us here. From providing us with announcements for exciting products and no shortage of great books for review, it's always a pleasure to cover something from Insight. Today, they have given Batman News an exclusive reveal: the final cover for their…
Hot off the release of Mera: Tidebreaker, DC Comics have released a first look at their next DC Ink book: Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale. It looks as if this book is going to have a limited color palette, similar to Mera, which I am all about. That was one of my favorite creative…
There are as many individual artistic styles and creative processes as there are creators, with each writer, artist, painter, and letterer approach their craft in a wholly unique way. Besides their own styles, every creator has their own work station, where they can best get the creative juices flowing to deliver the comics that you…
DC Zoom, the new imprint for young readers, is taking Swamp Thing into a frightening new realm: High school. The Secret Spiral of Swamp Kid is an upcoming book from Kirk Scroggs that will tell the story of Russell Weinwright - an homage to Swamp Thing creator Len Wein - a teenager who is a…
There are a number of options in the market for DC kids' books, but after looking at lots of them (I have three young boys), I'm convinced that there's a clear leader in the field: Downtown Bookworks. I've been reviewing their DC Super Heroes line for years now, and they continue to impress with their…
This review originally appeared on Comics Now. Repurposed with permission. Aquaman is a smash success, owing in large part to the enchanting world of people, places, and mythology that it brings to the screen. For over a year, we’ve heard stories of “Star Wars under the sea,” and the film manages to deliver an even more…
Titan Publishing has taken to converting some of our favorite Batman stories into novels, and next up on the list is Harley Quinn: Mad Love. What could make someone give themselves over to insanity just to be with someone they love? We've seen the story of Harley and the Joker told several different ways, but…
