81 on Batman #79 reviewLook, I’m just going to shoot straight with you… Batman #79 is completely skippable. The Story Tom King’s Batman is, understandably, a divisive book. I’m genuinely not a fan of most of his run, but last week was a different story. To the chagrin of many of you, I loved Batman #78. I thought it…
Every time I’ve opened a copy of Nightwing in the last year, I’ve mentally braced myself. (Yes, the “Ric” Grayson saga has run for about a year, not the interminable, dreary eons it seems like to some of us.) I did that again with #64. To my surprise, I found myself relaxing as I read, thinking…
At the end of last month’s issue it was revealed that the team’s new plan to "fix criminals" was to use Djinn to alter the minds of the men and women the team captured so they’re productive members of society. With an ending like that, the next step is to explore the repercussions of this…
The Justice Doom War rages on! With the League spread across time and their plan in jeopardy, things look grim. Can they pull out the win? Or will Pereptua and her new favorite bald son turn the multiverse into a 52-decker doom sandwich? Spoilers ahead. Winning the war The Snyder/Tynion/Cheung/Jimenez/yada/yada/yada Justice League has been a success overall.…
NYCC is right around the corner, and with so many stories coming building and coming to a close by the year’s end, I have to wonder what announcements might be in-store for us. Year of the Villain is turning out to be a combination of destruction between Snyder’s Justice League and the continuation of the…
After three issues of saying they’re going to save Sofia, Batman and the Outsiders finally act on their promise! Better late than never, I guess. But, will their attempt be successful, or will this mission just be another instance of the team falling short of their goal? Find out below! (Psst… This is, by far,…
You know something’s wrong when you have to pull out the prior issue of a book and look at the end in hopes of understanding what’s going on in the current one. I found the beginning of this story so confusing that I pulled out issue #7. It didn’t help. That’s unfortunate because there’s a…
If you’re a Jessica Cruz fan, you really don’t want to miss this issue. Our last sight of her, at the end of the prior issue, was heartbreaking. But the most intriguing things are coming out of that ending! Darkseid crushed Jessica and activated Sepulkore, triggering the creation of a pocket universe. What happens next…
I’m a big fan of all things horror and macabre so I was cautiously excited when I first saw Gotham City Monsters announced, but I really had no clue what the book was going to be. It’s immediately apparent that writer Steve Orlando has worked hard to make this book feel integrated into the DC…
For the past few issues, Detective Comics has felt like The Brave and the Bold. I’ve kind of mentioned this a lot, so it shouldn’t be news, but it totally fits: take Batman, pair him up with another character (Deadshot, in this case), and throw them into some sort of crazy adventure. A botched kidnapping…
Supervillains are fascinating. Villains as a whole are a compelling part of any story, but supervillains are a breed in and of themselves. It’s not that they just have an evil code (or a “morally ambiguous” one if you’re a coward), it’s that they have to look fun while doing committing acts of evil. Every…
Every comic book character has a certain type of story that they fit best. This doesn’t mean that a character like Catwoman should forever be stuck in caper-style plotlines forever, but repeatedly forcing her into a gauntlet of villains to fight isn’t the best way to show what makes Selina a unique heroine. Catwoman #15…
Danger Excitement Thrilling escapes You can practically hear the announcer of an old movie serial narrating the events of Batman: Universe as you’re reading it. This book is just pure, unadulterated adventure from cover to cover, and each chapter escalates the insanity set forth by the last. Want proof? In this issue, Batman encounters a…
Catwoman: Bat. Batman: Cat. Catwoman: It was in an alley. Batman: It was on a boat. Catwoman: Meow. Batman: Hrrn. Catwoman: We’ve been having this same conversation for nearly 80 issues. Should we actually talk? Batman: Cat Catwoman: Bat Batman: I’m fine. The Story *Warning! This review contains spoilers. Despite the condescending nature of my…
The hunt for Leviathan continues! Will we come any closer to knowing the identity of the mysterious person on top? I won't spoil it for you, but I will say this: NOT REALLY! Is it worth your time and money? Find out below. SPOILERS AHEAD. Here we go again It's Event Leviathan day again, and with its…
We’ve got a great slate of books ahead of us, and I’m genuinely looking for a number of them… But speaking of “this week,” we want your feedback. This Week in Comics… When we first launched the post, we used it to merely collect and recap our opinions. Then we decided to turn it into…
Welcome to another This Week in Comics! If this is your first time clicking on a This Week article, this is where the Batman News review team gets together to discuss the latest Batman-related comics. In this week's article, we're talking about turtles, Doomsday Clock, Harley and Ivy's latest shenanigans, slasher movie vibes in DCeased, the JSA and…
Harley Quinn #65 takes on a more somber tone than many of the other issues in this run. It’s still got that Quinn-tessential charm that Harley’s stories have, but Humphries tones down the wackiness just enough to make things respectful to the issue at large as Harley is forced to come to terms with the…
Right from the beginning, Doomsday Clock has been endlessly fascinating. Even if a particular issue is rather slow, there's still so much going on that I'm constantly fascinated by this book. I've said it before, but I love reviewing Doomsday Clock because it's about something. There are so many layers to the narrative that I…
Tom Taylor’s DCeased miniseries has been an equally entertaining and emotional rollercoaster ride through an apocalyptic, zombie-infested DC Universe. While the latest issue of the main series left us with one helluva cliffhanger, we take a sidestep this month to check in with a few other characters that aren’t featured as prominently in the main…
