7 on Nightwing #71 reviewNightwing is back! Well…the series is, but not the character because we are still hanging out with Ric-Dick-Richard-Robin as he continues to struggle with remembering who he is. Dick now knows the extent of Dr. Haas’ mind control over him, but Jurgens’ script doesn’t allow the dam to fully break. The result is that there’s…
Harley’s quest for answers continues this month as she faces off against Jonathan Wittleson, the shady head honcho behind the housing developments Harley and Booster Gold have been investigating. Is he behind Alicia’s murder? Was Alicia murdered? And what on Earth is going on with Harley and Booster Gold? Stay tuned to find out. This…
James Tynion’s Batman, for me, is like watching a reality show. There’s a lot of hype and melodrama, but in the end, there just isn’t much substance. And, honestly, that’s a shame because Tynion has some grand ideas, but the execution just isn’t there. The Story This week’s issue continues “Their Dark Designs,” which takes…
So, DC dropped Diamond as a distributor… I mean… That’s… Shocking. Expected, but shocking. I know many shop owners aren’t necessarily happy about this since it will require a little more work - and, potentially, money - on their end, but this could be good for the industry long-term. Only time will tell. For now,…
After 25 years, DC Comics has opted to end its distribution relationship with Diamond Comics Distribution. In an email sent to retailers on Friday morning, DC announced that it has cut ties with Diamond Comics Distribution. Going forward, all weekly DC product will be distributed through Lunar Distribution and UCS Comic Distributor. Penguin Random House…
You all know I’m a fan of the Birds of Prey, and if you’re not aware of that, I implore you to dig a little more into my history. So, when this specific title was announced, I was quite excited. Brian Azzarello isn’t my favorite writer – he’s very hit and miss for me –…
The current Batman/Superman series hasn’t been the kind of book that I would also be reading if I wasn’t reviewing it. In my previous reviews I have expressed my opinions on dialogue, pacing, exposition, and the fact that the story itself is sometimes overshadowed by the many references to other books. However, I enjoyed Batman/Superman…
All right, it’s been a hot minute since we’ve read Detective Comics #1021. The story so far has been about Harvey Dent’s internal struggle with Two-Face; Two-Face’s cult; and Batman’s attempts at unraveling the mystery behind the cult and helping his old friend Harvey. Last issue ended on a cliffhanger where we saw Two-Face shooting…
There’s a lot of Catwoman content this week on the stands and Catwoman 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular #1 is where you’ll find the lion’s share. These oversized specials tend to be very inconsistent, but the creative teams at hand here are overwhelmingly strong so it’s no surprise there are more hits than misses. However,…
We’re in a transition phase with the current Catwoman series now that Joelle Jones has completed her nearly two year run, which means it’s now time for some filler issues! The truth is, sometimes these one-shots are more exciting than a longer run ever ends up being, but Catwoman #22 doesn’t take full advantage of…
We’ve got some solid releases hitting stands this week, and despite still being excited that comics are simply hitting stands, there are some titles that I’m really excited to get my hands on! JUNE 2nd TAKE MY MONEY Detective Comics #1022 “Ugly Heart” part three! Batman has been blasted with bullets and left for dead…
June is here, and that means it's time to see what DC Universe has in store for us. The offerings to both watch and read are looking pretty good this month. What is coming to DC Universe in June? Check out all of the additions below! New to Watch on DC Universe This June New…
Welcome back to the Batman News Quarantine Book Club, everyone! We’ve got a unique story today in the form of Batman Chronicles: The Gauntlet, written by Bruce Canwell and pencilled by Lee Weeks, with colours from Matt Hollingsworth. This story is a one-shot issue that features Dick Grayson as Robin, the day before he’s given…
In Robert Venditti’s arc, Reign of the Supermen, I had a good time - but it was clear that I was questioning the purpose of the story, and why Venditti was dedicating his time on one of DC’s biggest books to write out an ultimately harmless and superfluous story. I liked it fine, but the…
I know books have been shipping the last few weeks, but I finally feel like I’m back in the comics world with Batman Beyond #43. It’s nice to be in the weekly grind, much like how Terry is finally back in the Batman cowl and fighting crime in Neo Gotham. Jurgens knows what works in…
Time is quickly running out for the Titans. Last time we met with them their own time in the afterlife was running short as their bodies died in real life. Not only that but Elias has taken control of Djinn and her siblings, and Heaven as well. How are they going to get out of…
What… Just… Happened? I hope you’re ready, because this is going to be another review where I gush over the creative team and the book, because Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo are killing it on Suicide Squad! I mean it! This book has everything! This is easily the most fun, action-packed, in-continuity story hitting the…
Welcome back! Were any of you able to visit your local comic shop and grab some new releases last week? Wednesday was the first day that I was able to actually go in and shop my LCS since the pandemic began, and more than anything, it was nice to just catch up with the family…
Welcome back to the Batman News Quarantine Book Club. Today we are covering Batman: Gates of Gotham by Kyle Higgins, Scott Snyder, and Trevor McCarthy. This is the newest, mainstream comic we’ve covered for the club, but there was interest to cover it… So, here we are. Gates of Gotham takes place during one of…
This month’s issue of Red Hood continues the Outlaws their fight against the Untitled as they've secretly infected hundreds of people in Qurac and are now attacking the city.
