11 on “Doomsday Clock Part One” to be collected this OctoberTrade-waiters, your time has come, as the first half of Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, Brad Anderson, and Rob Leigh’s Doomsday Clock will be collected this October. While the series has been beset by several delays, going from the originally planned monthly schedule with two planned breaks to bi-monthly to the final three issues being pushed…
Last month I complained that Tom King wasn’t providing any plot progression. That’s definitely not the case here. This month, Heroes in Crisis delivers a lot of information. I’m talking a huge info dump. One big, steaming pile of exposition that’s dropped right into your lap, and all I want to know is… What’s the…
Detective Comics #1002 is perfectly fine. It's a textbook example of an entertaining read, with a tense action scene standing out as a particularly effective moment. There are some good lines, the art is strong, and it moves the plot along. Which is all great, don't get me wrong. The biggest problem, if you can…
DC Universe has made good on its promise and has upped the number of individual comics to over 21,000 with more coming every week. It was announced recently that DC Universe would be upping its comic offerings and it has kept true to that word. The number of comics has increased and new titles will…
In Batgirl #34, a new story arc begins. Its called ‘Terrible,’ which I’m glad to say does not describe the quality of the issue. Of course, the title in question pertains to the return of The Terrible Trio, a triumvirate of animal-themed Batman villains that first debuted in 1958, but haven’t enjoyed the popularity or…
Look, I’m not saying that I’m not excited about this week’s releases, but I’m really just shooting to get to this weekend so I can see Avengers Endgame! I. Can’t. Wait. Also, as a result, I’ll be avoiding all social media from Thursday through Saturday, so if it seems as if I go MIA, that’s…
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……
Your enjoyment of this issue will depend on your stance with a number of things involving Nightwing at the moment. Despite your stance though, you can’t deny that Dan Jurgens brings a much better aesthetic to the table than previous writers. That, alone, deserves to be recognized. DC is continuing to run with this Ric…
In this chapter of Batman, we get the return of naked Bane. I’m going to try my best to prevent from sounding like a broken record here, but after weeks of providing commentary on “Knightmares,” it’s becoming more and more difficult to do so when I’m forced to critically discuss a story that does nothing…
Impish behavior! Snarky starfish! DOOM! For the Justice League left on Earth, this is reality. But long ago, at the beginning of everything, we find the origin of our story. Perpetua makes a multiverse, in Justice League #22. SPOILERS AHEAD. MAYBE. So. Many. Words. James Tynion's "Legion of Doom" interludes occasionally surprise and delight me. Other times, they…
The Game of Thrones premiere was last night, and that’s essentially all my social media feeds consisted of. I… Have never seen a single episode. Is that weird? Am I an anomaly? Do I read too many comics? (Trick question. You can never read too many comics!) Anyway, if you’re a GoT fan, I hope…

The first half of The Batman Who Laughs (#1-3) has been terrifying, exciting, powerful and, above all, great fun. And the Grim Knight one-shot, which could be read as an interlude in the middle of the miniseries, blew my mind with its wonderful art and solid writing. Now we’re going into the second half of…
This arc may contain Batman’s “Knightmares,” but I can’t help but feel that they’re actually my nightmares. Tom King wraps up “Knightmares,” his self-proclaimed “arc of one-shots” with this issue. Based on that description alone, I’d hoped that we would get some type of zinger or reveal that would make this feel like an actual…
While I know I'm not alone, I was positively beside myself with joy when it was announced that Peter Tomasi was going to start writing Detective Comics. I've yet to read a single thing from him that I didn't at least enjoy, from his stellar work with Patrick Gleason on Batman and Robin and Superman…
Jason Todd: Gotham Businessman of the Year! After his hostile takeover of the Iceberg lounge from its worthless, waddling founder, the Red Hood is settling in for a quiet night of innocent club ownership. But a blast from the Caste from his past has other plans, and a brawl between manifold weirdos ensues. See for…
We have a heavy Batman presence this week! With Batman, Detective Comics, and The Batman Who Laughs all hitting shelves, Bat-fans far and wide should be happy! 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, the…
It's not often that something can truly be considered a phenomenon. Sean Gordon Murphy's Batman: White Knight miniseries, though? I think that fits the bill. After all, it was a runaway success, with widespread acclaim from fans and critics alike. What's more, it was a different take on the Batman mythos that felt like it…
Hot off the release of Mera: Tidebreaker, DC Comics have released a first look at their next DC Ink book: Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale. It looks as if this book is going to have a limited color palette, similar to Mera, which I am all about. That was one of my favorite creative…
