2 on Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III #5 reviewLast month, I lamented that Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III felt like it was spinning its wheels. Pieces were moved around the proverbial chessboard to prepare for the final conflict, but not much actually happened. This month, there's a whole lot more positioning of characters and set up for the inevitable final battle, but holy…
DC’s young adult imprint, DC Ink, just released its latest graphic novel, Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass. Creating a new origin story for Harley, this reimagining introduces readers to her as a fifteen year old, struggling to navigate life, discover who she is, and make the right choices as her home is threatened by a wave…
Let’s get this out of the way: yes, I will be making plant puns in this review. No, I will not be apologizing for them. I will also not be pointing them out, because it’s quite likely that some of them will be unintentional. If you have any problems with this, please place your concerns…
Oh wow, this is an honour!!! After working as hard as I could to get through the selection process, I finally get to write my first review for Batman-News. Sure, getting the job wasn’t easy – writing a review for Batman: Odyssey as part of the audition process was particularly difficult – but if I…
The Justice League is spread across time! The quest to find pieces of the Totality hit a bump in the proverbial road last week, and what was supposed to be a simple recon and recovery mission got a lot more complicated. Can the Justice Society and the Last Boy on Earth help the Leaguers find…
It's a holiday weekend here in the states, so some of you are enjoying a nice, three-day weekend! I'm not one of those fortunate souls, however, I am off on Monday, so I plan on taking advantage of it. My plans are to read comics. That is it. Everyone else can go to their local…
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…
At the end of the last issue, the Terrible Trio (criminals masked as a Shark, Fox, and Vulture) reawakened the android that was Babs’s Oracle avatar with the help of Lex Luthor. Meanwhile, Babs was getting her butt kicked by Killer Moth. In issue #38, their showdown leads to hints of something bigger behind him,…
Although Batman/Superman is a brand new ongoing series (previous World's Finest series notwithstanding), it should be clear that its first arc, “Who are the Secret Six?”, is a direct continuation of the 7-part The Batman Who Laughs miniseries by Scott Snyder and Jock. It isn’t necessary to have read Snyder and Jock’s comic because there’s plenty…
Jason Todd has been many things since Red Hood started it’s rebirth run: hero, outlaw, Iceberg Lounge owner, and now, teacher. When Lex made his offer I was surprised. I was expecting something like powers, or maybe the Joker’s head on a plate. Instead, Lex played on Jason’s vanity, he promised to let Jason do…
I’ve been reading and watching a lot of Batman Beyond the last few weeks to re-familiarize myself with the world and its characters. In doing so, I’ve fallen back in love with all that the Beyond universe has to offer both Batman fans and those interested in more cyberpunk themes such as the danger of…
So right off the bat (ha HAAAA), let me tell you: this is a super weird issue of Detective Comics. That's not inherently a bad thing, as it's plenty entertaining, but it feels a lot different than any other Batcentric issue of any title in the DC stable. If you want to get an idea…
The Justice Doom War starts here! Perpetua has very nearly risen, and Apex Luthor and his band of evil ninnies are getting ready to put the pain on the Justice League! Who will prevail? Who will perish? Who knows? Read Justice League #30! Keep it moving Justice League #30 is a very good issue. It's not…
Batman's problems are about to get a lot bigger. His old pal Joker is up to no good again, and this time, he's got some new friends. Azrael rises, in Batman: Curse of the White Knight #2! An effective flashback Batman: Curse of the White Knight #1 began in flashback, and so does #2. The flashbacks have…
We’ve got quite the slate ahead of us, and unlike last week, I’m excited to get my hands on a number of these releases! Alright, on to business. This week’s releases are listed according to our anticipation scale, with titles listed in alphabetical order within each sub-header. For each title, I’ll include the official solicitation,…
When DC’s Year of the Villain was first announced I found a great deal of promise in the idea, but wasn't sure exactly what the vision and end goal was. With Tom Taylor and Cully Hamner’s Black Mask: Year of the Villain, I hoped to gain a better idea of what DC’s vision is for…
This month the Teen Titans get a new start. Lobo has been taken care of (at least temporarily) and the secret prison isn’t so secret anymore, so what happens next? The Teen Titans have been busy since they came together as a team. In addition to searching for The Other and trying to get a…
The last issue ended with Talon William Cobb on a rooftop, using a drone to shadow Ric. Lex Luthor appeared on the rooftop to make Cobb an offer, but we don’t see the specifics of it. [spoiler] The solicitations say he offers Cobb what he’s always wanted, a chance to get Dick Grayson into the…
Well crap… After a slight improvement in the last issue, we’re now back to every character talking like Tom King. *Sigh* Well, at least Damian gets some kick as moments in this issue… The Story Let it be known, Damian Wayne is the best thing about this issue! In fact, I would say that this…
We’ve got a light week ahead of us, and I wish I could say that I was looking forward to the few books that are in the pipeline… but I can’t. Granted, our coverage consists of Batman, Nightwing, and Teen Titans, and none of these books have really been hitting home for us. On a…
