29 on Nightwing #61 reviewWelcome back to the misadventures of Ric “I’m not a hero but let me go save people” Grayson. I will admit that this is one of the better issues of this run – or maybe I’m just getting used to this mess – but it’s still not great. Before you jump into my review… Do…
I’m shuffling through an abundance of opinions trying to determine the best way to speak to this issue, and I honestly don’t know where to start. I mean, we actually get some plot progression, but everything else is just so… “Tom King Batman” that I genuinely hate this issue. Oh yeah, I said hate. Get…
Things on Earth are trending NASTY. Lex Luthor planted a seed of doom in the hearts of mankind, and it's up to the Justice League—and a few faraway friends—to fight back. Will it be enough? The confrontation with Perpetua grows nearer, in Justice League #26. It's alright Most of Justice League #26 feels disposable. That doesn't necessarily…
There have been quite a few announcements from DC over the past week! Some of it is definitely worth getting excited for, while others might have you a little concerned. On one front, we have Phantasm joining Tom Kings Batman/ Catwoman… And yes, this would be where my concern lies. DC also announced Gotham City…
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. This week in This Week in Comics, I (Hi, I'm Andrew, I used to do all the reviews all by myself for two years straight, one or…
DC Comics announced today that The Batman Who Laughs will continue to terrorize the DC Universe this August in an all new World's Finest team-up series. Batman/Superman by Joshua Williamson and David Marquez will feature our heroes chasing down six heroes who have been transformed into the darkest, most evil versions of themselves by The…
I think that we can rightly say that Stjepan Šejić is a rising star in the comics industry. His work on Aquaman with Dan Abnett was just wonderful, and any time his name pops up on a title I certainly take notice. This fall, Šejić will flex his creative muscles as both writer and artist…
Bryan Hill delivers the second chapter of Batman & the Outsiders, and while this issue is action-packed and high energy, it’s not as good as the debut. Is this a problem with the book itself, or an unfortunate symptom from DC’s delays and mandates? Find out my take below. If you didn’t check out Batman…
There’s something to be said about an issue of a comic book that’s practically non-stop forward momentum. It knows where it needs to go and how to get there, hardly slowing down at any point to break the pace. Such is the case with Detective Comics #1005, the conclusion of the “Medieval” arc. But just…
This is the penultimate chapter in the Batman Who Laughs miniseries. So far, this has been an exciting and thrilling ride, rich with horror elements, interdimensional insanity and superheroics. Although I have expressed some of my criticism about the story up until this point, I’ve mostly been praising Snyder, Jock, Baron and Cipriano’s work for…
It’s finally here! After the slow burn buildup in Action Comics, and last week’s Superman special, Event Leviathan has arrived. Is it intriguing? Is it exciting? Is it all I’d hoped it would be? No What a colossal disappointment. I knew something was wrong when I saw this on the second page: What the heck?…
It’s just a teaser image, but I confess I’ve already made up my mind: this is not going to go well. As you’ve surely heard, Batman writer Tom King will be leaving the title after December. As you’ve also surely heard, he will continue writing the words “Bat” and “Cat” in Batman/Catwoman, which kicks off…
The Penguin’s out, but that’s not Red Hood’s only problem. Willis Todd’s Prince of Gotham has enemies galore, and not all of them end up driving his car or guarding his casino. Some of them...KILL. Or, at least, they try. In Red Hood: Outlaw #35. My favorite part was the first page I’m still struck…
Last week, we lit our Bat-signal in search of great, new talent to add to our comic review team. The signal is still lit, and if you thought about joining but didn’t submit, then the time is now! The details for submitting can be found here! What are you waiting for? Alright, on to business.…
Reviews and the discussions they inspire are a big part of why readers visit the Batman News comics section. So an article in which all of our reviewers engage in a discussion about that week’s titles? Why, you’d think it’s a no-brainer! And yet it took several years for the idea to cross our minds……
Enchantress has returned from the depths of hell and she has magically transformed Gotham into a medieval kingdom! The people living in Gotham have turned into medieval counterparts of themselves as well. Everything is upside-down. Harley Quinn and Queen Selina are about the burn at the stake! Can this be undone? And, more importantly, is…
Tom Taylor is a really good writer. He can tell big stories that involve the entire DCU, and he can tell stories on a much smaller, personal level, too. No matter which type of story he writes, there is always room for humor, heartfelt moments, and tragedy. The second issue of DCeased has all of…
For this chapter of Batman, Tom King writes a monologue! Let’s face it, King’s run on Batman has lacked momentum for a good while now. I’m bored to tears with it, and I was already irritated with it before I became bored. With the announcement that King would exit Batman with issue 85, I was…
All seems lost! Superman withers and dies in a prison system with no sun; the Justice League fights their more-experienced alternate-reality future selves; Batman agrees with the World Forger and stands on the opposite side of his teammates. What in the worlds can be done? Find out, in Justice League #25. SPOILERS AHEAD Beyond imagination "The Sixth…
The third (and likely final) crossover between Batman and the Ninja Turtles kicked off with a surprisingly excellent first issue. After a disappointing second miniseries, I wasn't sure what to expect with this new series, and the odd "mashups" of the different characters didn't do much to get me excited. Despite all that uncertainty and…
