0 on Harley Quinn #69 reviewThis month we take a break from Harley’s journey through grief to enjoy a one shot that focuses on Hambezzler, an ex-fast food mascot recently released from prison for you guessed it: embezzlement. Mark Russell takes over writing duties temporarily this week. In doing so, he’s chosen to write a story set before Harley left…
Detective Comics starts 2020 with a brand new arc, written by Peter Tomasi and illustrated by Scott Godlewski and David Baron. So far, I’ve been enjoying Tomasi’s run on the series, and I appreciate that Tomasi writes Bruce as a more likeable guy who’s trying to do the right thing, as opposed to the brooding,…
Happy New Year!!! Ok, I know we’re not quite there yet, but we will be soon enough. The real question is who will be the real comic fans and waiting at their comic shop first thing on New Years Day! Alright, on to business. This week’s releases are listed according to our anticipation scale, with…
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times now, but I’ll repeat myself again: Batman: The Animated Series rules. And the accompanying comics rule just as hard. They’re the perfect intersection of great writing, fantastic art, and accessible storytelling, with complete stories that are consistently and excellently Batman. Though they were long…
Dan Jurgens doubles down in Nightwing #67 and delivers an issue that is near impossible to recognize as being a Nightwing book. Previous arcs in the “Ric” saga offered glimpses of the optimism that Nightwing embodies, even if Dick Grayson himself wasn’t behind the mask. Nightwing #67 is a grimy book, set at the peak…
Free of the self-inflicted restraints of a non-linear narrative, Catwoman #18 simplifies its story structure and allows co-artists, Joelle Jones and Fernando Blanco, to flex their artistic muscles. Simply put, Catwoman #18 is a gorgeous comic book with each page featuring either stunning two-page action spreads courtesy of Blanco, or richly detailed dialogue driven scenes…
And just like that, we are done with Tom King’s Batman. Hold on to your butts, ‘cause this is an oversized review for an oversized issue, and this review is full of gif goodness! Many of us have been waiting for this day to come for months – perhaps even years – and now, it’s…
It’s been a while since Last Knight on Earth #2 was released. The first two issues were really solid but, seeing as it’s taken months to get to this conclusion, I have to admit that I had to go back and reread everything because I had forgotten quite a bit of what had happened. Reading…
I haven’t enjoyed a Harley Quinn story as much as I have enjoyed Harleen since Dini and Timms’ Mad Love. I often find it hard to relate to recent iterations of the character, because a lot of writers seem to sacrifice deep character progression for wacky, over-the-top comedy. Of course, this is largely a matter…
The first issue of Joker: Killer Smile is excellent. Lemire, Sorrentino and Bellaire have introduced a different version of Gotham City than I’m used to, and while I was slightly disappointed when I first learned that their Gotham’s lacking the gargoyles and zeppelins, I think I’m starting to see why the creative team has made…
In the pages of the Batman/Superman ongoing the titular protagonists are up against The Batman Who Laughs, who has infected several heroes. To go along with the current Batman/Superman arc, DC is publishing one-shots to explore what each infected hero is going through. The fourth of these one-shots is The Infected: The Commissioner #1. The…
If you’ve been following my reviews on this series, you will probably have noticed that the overall score has gone down from issue to issue. You may also have noticed that I’ve had similar complaints throughout the series so far. It’s no different for this issue. I don't think this is a particularly good comic,…
The Teen Titans are in a pickle. They’ve been betrayed by Roundhouse, Djinn is trapped in her ring, and Crush just wiped the floor with them thanks to Lobo being given control over her by Lex Luthor. Worst of all, they’re now faced with The Other, the figure they’ve been chasing since this team first…
It’s finally here—the new and improved Suicide Squad! Tom Taylor crafts an exciting start to this new series that’s funny, a bit gruesome, and subverts expectations. And yes, true to the cover’s promise, half of the team is dead by the end of the issue (just not the half or the team you were expecting).…
No matter how welcome and anticipated they are, endings are bittersweet. Here we have the final issue of Doomsday Clock, which is a journey we've been going on for over two years now. Through its ups and downs, there has never been a point where I didn't at least enjoy writing about this book. It's…
What's this? Another review of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen? On a Batman site, no less? Your eyes do not deceive you, dear reader, so continue reading as we present to you The Batman News review of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #6 As written by the guy who goes by "Jaymus Yawsley" in the comments For…
The League refuses to die! Lex thought he had this thing all tied up in a bow, but the heroes proved why they are heroes—with STRANGE LIGHTS IN THE SKY! Who's going to win this battle between good and evil? What will be the cost? Find out, in Justice League #38, the penultimate chapter in the…
After tomorrow, when I publish my review for Doomsday Clock #12, I will no longer be a member of the Batman News review team. With most books that I had been covering wrapping up-- along with getting involved in more and more comics projects outside of Batman News-- I have decided to step down from…
I’ve dreaded writing this, but this week’s review of Doomsday Clock will be Jay’s final (monthly) review with Batman-News. Jay has his own goodbye written, so I'll refrain from writing too much, but I want say this… When I decided to start writing for Batman-News, I thought it would be nothing more than a hobby.…
Three chapters into The Batman’s Grave, and I’m beginning to think this book is completely intended to be read as a trade because Warren Ellis’ scripts don’t seem to be structured for monthly consumption. The Story First off, I want to apologize for my delays over the past month. I’ve been working six-day weeks at…
