3 on Young Justice #9 reviewIf you’re curious about who Teen Lantern is and how she joined Young Justice, this is the issue that finally offers some answers. But while most of the issue focuses on Teen Lantern, there’s enough progress in the overall story that developing her origin doesn’t feel like a total diversion from the main plotline. After…
Harley’s finally done it: she’s conquered every trial thrown her way by the Lords of Order and Chaos and earned the right to be their Angel of Retribution. This is what she’s worked so hard for, so she should be excited, right? In reading Harley Quinn there have been many things I’ve come to expect…
We've come a long way on this journey with Batman and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and our time is drawing to a close. There have been some laughs, plenty of excitement, and a few surprises here and there. As awesome as it was seeing the Dark Knight and the Heroes in a Half-shell team…
The War rages on! Aquaman may have turned the tide in the past, but things are still looking pretty grim in the future. Can the League collect the Totality shards and bring them back in time to stop Apex Lex and his evil mama? Things get even crazier, in Justice League #33! SPOILERS AHEAD. Still…
There have been multiple retellings of Batman's origin over the years. Some are considered "definitive" or "canonical," like Year One and Zero Year. Others may have been attempts to shore up years of continuity that, while entertaining, are remembered more for their endearing weirdness than anything else. I'm looking at you, Untold Legend of the…
If you were concerned that I was M.I.A. last week and a little late with this post, then fear not. I just had a work conference that I attended for my day job, and I'm just now getting the chance to catch up. Granted, most of you probably didn't even notice that I was abnormally…
Hi! If this is your first time clicking on a This Week in Comics article, it’s basically a podcast that you have to read. Or a printed, multi-party interview that you have to read instead of listen to. Or something. Anyway, here you’ll find all of the Batman News reviewers discussing the week’s releases. We…
I think it's fair to say that Harley Quinn's life has been relatively wild as of late. She tragically lost her mother, which has injected the book with some welcome pathos, and she's effectively exiled herself on the volcano that appeared just off shore of Coney Island. Like I said: wild. Oh, and she's also…
Welcome to cyberspace Frankenstein! I mean Batgirl #39!If you know Mary Shelley’s iconic novel (or the Classics Illustrated comic book version) and tend to deduce whodunit about halfway into a mystery, you might have caught the similarities. It took me until this issue, with the Oracle android planning to confront Babs directly, to see this arc…
Last month, Jason took on the role of teacher to a group of young metahumans, each hand-picked by Lex Luthor to be the world’s next supervillains. After proving his worth to his new students, Jason and company set off to follow up on a distress call from S.T.A.R. Labs and ran straight into Doomed, a…
Batman's been attacked! At home! In his cave! Can the Dark Knight escape the wrath of the Avenging Angel? Things are about to get real, in Batman: Curse of the White Knight #3! MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD Out in the open As you no doubt surmised by the end of last issue, Bruce's big secret is now in…
If you’ll forgive me, this story about Mister Freeze is a slow burn, and all the better for it. After weeks of buildup, with brief epilogues at the end of the most recent issues of Detective Comics, we finally get to see what Freeze has been plotting. Leave it to a master storyteller like Peter…
Batman Beyond #36 concludes what is definitely the weakest arc in Dan Jurgens’ otherwise very solid run. Even at the series’ lowest point, Jurgens manages to put together a narrative that works despite questionable art that nonetheless gets the job done. This is a functional comic book and that isn’t meant to be a flippant…
I should start this review by saying that I’m a fan of Stjepan Sejic’s work. I have thoroughly enjoyed his run on Aquaman (issues #25-30). I have also read some of his explicit Sunstone stories, and I think his writing on that title is quite good because he has a way of examining his characters’…
The first issue of Batman/Superman ended with our heroes stepping in the Batman Who Laughs’ cave and encountering an infected Shazam. This second issue, after a brief intro page, drops us into the middle of the battle between our heroes and Shazam. It’s a fast and entertaining read, but can it also be considered a…
Yesterday was Batman Day! I don’t know about you guys, but I dropped a lot of money on some heavily discounted books, but the bang for my buck was so worth it. I mean… the Golden Age Omnibuses were on sale for $4.94 on Comixology… Like… For real. I also got some fun decorations and…
When it was announced that Tom King would be leaving Batman after December's Batman #85, everyone wondered who DC would tap to take over. Now, thanks to an exclusive over at The Hollywood Reporter, we have the answer: James Tynion IV, who had a lengthy stint with the Dark Knight on Detective Comics at the beginning of DC's Rebirth initiative.…
We're back, and we've got this week's comics ready to discuss! There are a few good books that were released, and there were also a number of reminders of how DC might be killing some of their own brands due to poor direction/ decisions. Regardless of the quality, we're happy to discuss these books because…
You know what I love? And I mean really love? Multiverses! That’s not sarcasm, either. I think it’s genuinely really fascinating to hop into a different world and see what a writer thinks a character might be like under a different lens. It gives validity to every writer’s interpretation of an established hero/villain, and allows…
While Wal-Mart Giant titles such as Batman Universe continue to be top-notch reading, Titans: Burning Rage continues to be bottom-of-the-barrel reading. I’m not sure why so many writers struggle to write an engaging, entertaining story with this team, but I think it’s time that DC puts both the Teen Titans and Titans on the shelf…
