62 on Batman #74 reviewBelieve it or not, I actually enjoyed Batman #74. The Story Put your pitchforks and torches down! I’m allowed to like a chapter of Tom King’s Batman if I want to. Despite what many of you may think, I don’t hate Tom King. I’m also not going to lambaste every issue of his Batman run…
Detective Comics #1006 was one of the best Batman comics I've read this year, a supernatural mystery with timeless artwork that had a stunning, moody aesthetic. I loved the writing, I loved the mystery, and yes, I absolutely adored Kyle Hotz's pencils and David Baron's colors. It was a comic that could have worked no…
Who is Leviathan? With secret organizations—good and evil—beaten, Batman closes in on his chief suspect. Is he right about Jason Todd? Is Batgirl still alive? Will DC revive that old 900-number and give us a chance to decide Jason's fate on our own? Find out (some of these things) in Event Leviathan #2. Now that's more…
Jason Todd’s latest journey is at its end. His secret prisoner is no longer secret, his latest band of outlaws is just about disbanded, and there’s a major line-wide crossover event that necessitates a shift in direction. See the bow tying up the Red Hood’s journey from ‘Merica to the Iceberg Lounge, in Red Hood:…
There's just something about a good old rollicking adventure. That's part of the appeal of movies like The Treasure of the Sierra Madre or Raiders of the Lost Ark, with their high-stakes chases, exotic locations, stalwart heroes, and conniving villains. Rather than trying to say something about the human condition or exploring the psyche of…
It’s now or never! If you’re interested in joining the Batman-News comics review team, this is your chance! We’ve received a number of applications and will be closing the application period after July 14th. If you’ve been on the fence as to whether you should apply or not, the answer is yes, and the time…
For this week's This Week in Comics, we have a special guest joining us! Peter J. Tomasi! No. No, we don't. I'm sorry. That's a lie. There is no special guest. It's just your merry band of Batman-News reviewers. Sorry guys. This is my (Josh) first week hosting This Week in Comics, and I wanted…
This issue might be titled “Terrible: Finale,” but it is anything but as Mairghread Scott makes the most of what she was given to deliver a satisfying conclusion! I’ve made it quite clear that I’m sad to see Mairghread Scott leave Batgirl. I feel as though she’s done some of the best work with Barbara…
Harley has been successfully completing trials for the Lords of Order and Chaos, but that storyline gets interrupted this month because of the “Year of the Villain” event, but more on that later. This issue isn’t particularly great, but there are moments here that are really well-written and well-drawn. And though I had trouble keeping…
So far DCeased has been a fun book. Taylor has done a great job setting up the story in the first two issues, and even though I have been somewhat critical of certain aspects, I think it’s been a solid book for the most part. Last issue we left off with an exciting cliffhanger, where…
The fight to save the multiverse continues! Most of the Justice League is off gathering reinforcements, but J’onn J’onzz is in the clutches of a villain so sinister, you won’t believe it—unless you DO believe it, in which case, you don’t not believe it—if you can believe that! Credit where it’s due I’ve been nothing…
We’ve reached the halfway point of Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, and what a ride it’s been. This story is just barreling along, with a pace that’s surprisingly fast considering how potentially big it could get. A lot of that comes from the crazy mashups and surprising characters who’ve made appearances, both of which cover…
June may be behind us, but before publishers start releasing new books this month, we’re going to take a look back at some of the releases we loved but didn’t cover on Batman-News.com. Also, since June was Pride Month, I took it upon myself to read and cover some gay-themed comics. Now, as some of…
Happy July, everyone! We’ve got a solid slate of books ahead of us, but for those of you looking forward to Tom King’s Batman #74, I’m sorry to tell you that it’s been pushed back until next week. Now, for those of you in the states, we also have Independence Day to look forward to…
We’re short-handed around here. Want to be a comic book reviewer? Think you can handle the rock’n roll lifestyle? Go HERE and put your name into the hat. 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,…
It took a while for the finale of Batman: Damned to come out, but it’s here at last. Elena reviewed issues #1 and #2, but since she’s, unfortunately, no longer on the Batman-News review team, I’m reviewing this third issue to wrap up the run. And by the way, we are still looking for new…
If a cover alone made the purchase of a comic worth it, then Detective Comics #1006 would certainly apply. Just look at the composition of that amazing cover: the Spectre, looming large against the Gotham City skyline, the Batsignal projected on his chest, and Batman himself below, on his guard against the physical embodiment of…
We’ve got a rather light week ahead of us, but if we get some quality books – and it looks as though that will be the case – then I’ll take quality over quantity any day! Also, our open call for those of you that are interested in joining the Batman News comic book review…
It's Friday, so it's that time again, friends: time for This Week in Comics. While we cover plenty of books here at Batman News, we like to discuss those books with each other too. Plus, with weekly reviews, you may get an idea of what, say, Brian thought of Justice League, but... what about Casper? …
DC has announced that starting with its January 2020 comics, it will be doing away with all of its various imprints. DC Vertigo, DC Zoom, and DC Ink will all be closed in favor of a new strategy that brings all of the comics under the DC brand name. All DC books will now feature…
