15 on Upcoming Comics: June 5, 2019Wherever you look, there are inspirational teams all around us. The Justice League. The Outsiders. The Titans. The Teen Titans… But how would you like the join the best team of them all? The Batman-News Comic Review Team (the team name is a work in progress, but does not take away from the epicness of…
DC’s Black Label was announced last year, promising daring stories by the best creators in the game. It’s been a little confusing in the rollout at times (see Batman: Damned and the never-delivered uncensored White Knight trade), but with the arrival of Batman: Last Knight on Earth last week, and Superman: Year One in the…
BookCon 2019: DC reveal new slate of DC Ink graphic novels, featuring Oracle, Dick Grayson, and more
DC’s line of young adult graphic novels published through their DC Ink line has been a great idea from day one, and as evidenced by their announcement of a new slate of books, they seem to be doing really well too. We were fans of Mera: Tidebreaker in particular, and are excited to see what…
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……
The DC event of the summer is upon us! After months of rising in Action Comics, the face of Leviathan is at last revealed, and things are looking pretty uncertain for the Man of Steel and his compatriots. Things are about to get worse in Superman: Leviathan Rising Special #1! Getting some Action After reading the first…
Here it is folks… The conclusion to Heroes in Crisis. If you came into this issue hoping for some sort of redemption for Wally West, or perhaps just a satisfying conclusion to the book itself, I’m sorry to tell you that it doesn’t happen. While there are moments that are impactful, they tend to be…
With the previous issue of Doomsday Clock, I posited that Doctor Manhattan-- due to his emotional detachment-- may not be considered a human any longer, and lamented that Superman has been largely absent in a story where he is supposedly the hero. Issue ten is a direct response to those theses, and in most ways…
Gather round, fellow comic fans, gather round! Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo are telling their final Batman story, and it’s called Last Knight on Earth, and it’s a tale of adventure and intrigue and mystery! This miniseries is part of DC’s Black Label imprint, will run for three issues in total, and each issue is…
If you had asked me which characters I thought would be popping up in Peter Tomasi's run on Detective Comics, I'm fairly sure the Reaper would have been... if not near the bottom, then at most toward the middle of the list. The idea of the character is interesting (a vigilante who was active in…
In case you missed it, we received some big news last week! Tom King will be leaving Batman. I’m certain the reaction to this will be mixed – many of you feeling crushed, while a number of others rejoice. Personally, I’m ok to see him leave the main title. As you all know, I haven’t…

Rumors have been swirling for a few days now, and it’s finally official: Tom King will be leaving the main Batman title this December. He’s been on the book since the launch of Rebirth and has successfully juggled his work on the title with series like Heroes in Crisis and Mister Miracle, and has constantly…
Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo are teaming up again for a new Black Label story called Batman: Last Knight on Earth. Judging by the trailer that has been released, it's going to be a dark and weird ride. Doesn't everyone carry the Joker's head in a lantern? Batman: Last Knight on Earth will mark the…
In my coverage of Batgirl #34, I celebrated the arrival of entertaining new versions of The Terrible Trio, and bemoaned the continued surfeit of soap opera. Readers of the same disposition may enjoy issue #35 a little more as Babs spends the whole book in-costume, battling her new enemies. That’s right; this month, there is…
When introducing a new character, particularly a villain, getting their backstory and motivation down pat is tricky. Sure, there are some characters who work better when you don't know what makes them tick, like the Joker. If you understand the Clown Prince of Crime, he loses the element that makes him truly terrifying: unpredictability. Is…
We have bad news… Dan will be leaving us. I’m a little upset. Dan’s tenure with Batman-News has been short, yet impactful. Why was it so impactful? I’m not sure… Maybe it’s because he’s European. Maybe it’s because he adds a “u” to words like “favorite” or “color” (note that I spelled them correctly… ‘Merica!).…

This month, the Nightwings discover that water can stop fire. Ric Grayson is apparently on the same level as Neanderthals. Look, this review isn’t going to be very long. There’s really not much I can say about this title that I haven’t said before, and there’s honestly not much in this issue that sets it…
Two of our favorite miniseries of the last several years are now available in brand new, exclusive hardcover collections, making this a joyous new comic book day indeed. Sean Gordon Murphy’s magnum opus Batman: White Knight and Tom King and Mitch Gerads’ epic tragedy Mister Miracle have been collected before, true, but these hardcovers feature…
Well this is certainly one way to kick off DC’s Year of the Villain: legendary artist Neal Adams will write and illustrate a new six-issue miniseries titled Batman vs. Ra’s al Ghul. Along with the equally legendary Denny O’Neil, Adams is, of course, co-creator of Ra’s, who has become one of Batman’s most respected and…
