2 on This Week in Comics: Azrael rises!We're back for another water cooler conversation to discuss this week's releases! You might notice that Brian is absent. Fear not, he is just taking a much-needed vacation, so you'll get the two Texans (Jay and Josh) and the European (Casper) for this week's conversation... But (and this is a big but!), we will have new…
As if you needed any convincing to pick it up, DC Comics have released a sweet animated trailer for Batman: Curse of the White Knight #1. But really, given that the preceding series Batman: White Knight was so positively received, there’s not a chance that you wont be picking up the first issue of Sean…
Batgirl #37 delivers a new creative team in Cecil Castellucci and Carmine Di Giandomenico. As much as I’d like to say I enjoyed this book, I didn’t. It’s not terrible, but I found it to be quite average. There are aspects I enjoy, but the overall execution leaves me unsatisfied. The Story The big question…
You know what I love most about reading collections of older Batman comics? Like, say, the old Brave and the Bold series or even material from the Grant/Moench/Davis/Breyfogle era? It's that, even though you could see a sense of progression over the course of each story, the stories themselves were remarkably standalone. You could flip…
The Murphyverse is back! Following up on the smash success of Batman: White Knight, writer/artist Sean Murphy is back with a tale as old as Gotham, as deadly as the Joker, and as gorgeously-rendered as the first one. Does this book live up to the hype? Find out, in Batman: Curse of the White Knight #1. A…
I didn’t even go to SDCC, and I still don’t even know what day it is! Seriously though, my schedule has been insane and I’m looking forward to having a day off… Which just happens to be new comic book day! So, I plan on being lazy and reading tons and tons of comics. Alright,…
SDCC put us a little behind, but we were finally able to come together to discuss last week's releases. So, if you're all caught up with the announcements from this past weekend (and there were plenty!), then take a moment to hang out with us around the water cooler and let's talk comics! Here's This…
DC Comics are returning to the world of Red Rain this October, as the vampire Batman returns in their newest spooky 80-Page Giant. This year’s anthology of terror is titled Secrets of Sinister House, and it boasts stories from talent like Paul Dini, Jorge Fornes, Rafael Albuquerque, Bryan Hill, and many, many more. Check out…
Ladies and gentlemen... Tom King has won another Eisner Award. Friday night, King won the 2019 Eisner Award for Best Writer for his work on Batman, Mister Miracle, Heroes in Crisis, and Swamp Thing Winter Special. For many, this win will be shocking. For many others, it will be validation. Where do you fall? Considering King's work…
The misadventures of Ric Grayson continue in Nightwing #62. Now, if you’re like me, then you were excited with the tease of the Court of the Owls for this issue… Unfortunately, we barely get any of that here. Instead, we get more repetitive nonsense and filler. We got Ric'd y'all. We got Ric'd... The Story…
Well… At least we only have to endure another ten issues of this instead of dredging to Batman #107 (or whatever number Tom King was originally supposed to end on). The Story Batman #75 debuts Tom King’s “City of Bane.” The first page is a splash page featuring the text “Later.” This is clearly here…
It's the eve of San Diego Comic-Con 2019, and DC doesn't appear to be letting up with the announcements. On Tuesday a new Batman story from Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch was announced. Wednesday brings us news that the Birds of Prey are saddling up for a new series from Emanuela Lupacchino and Ray McCarthy. The…
J'onn J'onzz meets up with an old friend! Hawkgirl tags along! Qward is an inhospitable hellscape, and you didn't really think it was going to be that easy, did you? One story ends, and another begins, in Justice League #28! SPOILERS AHEAD Some welcome restraint I said two weeks ago that Justice League #27 was James Tynion's…
Another huge Batman announcement? Don’t mind if we do, and don’t be surprised if this isn’t the last one this week either. Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch are reuniting later this year for a brand new 12-issue Batman maxiseries titled The Batman’s Grave. The series picks up right after Ellis’ Legends of the Dark Knight…
In DC Comics’ hit event Metal-- from Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, of course-- the idea of a “Dark Multiverse” that manifests all of our fears and darkest desires was an interesting twist on the established Multiverse concept of the DC Universe. We got to see some of it in play, particularly with the Dark…
People! PEOPLE! SDCC is this week! I repeat, SDCC IS THIS WEEK! Now, while I’m excited for the event itself, I am a little bummed because I personally will not be attending this year. I’m looking to finally purchase a home by the end of this year, and I decided it would be better for…
Welcome, fellow comics fans, to another episode of This Week in Comics! This time around it is my (Casper) turn to be your host, and my Bat-buddies and I have lots of commentary on various titles in store for you all, as always! To those who came in late: This Week in Comics is a…
John Carpenter, the filmmaker behind Halloween, They Live, The Thing, and many other classics will be co-writing The Joker: Year of the Villain #1, a 40-page one-shot issue that ties into the ongoing Year of the Villain storyline. Anthony Burch, writer of the video games Borderlands 2 and League of Legends, will co-author while artists Philip…
Have you been reading Gideon Falls? If not, you should be, as it’s one of the best ongoing books on the stands right now. If you have been reading that book, you know how great Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino are as a creative team. So the fact that they’re collaborating on a new Joker…
Bryan Hill proves two things here. First, when he’s on his game, he’s incredible. Second, the quality of his writing is better when he’s exploring character rather than pushing the plot. Regardless, there are some really nice moments here, and some that just felt a little… odd. The Story We’re only three issues into this…
