20 on The Batman Who Laughs: The Grim Knight #1 reviewBefore I start the review proper, you should know that you’ll get the most out of this comic if you’ve been following the Batman Who Laughs miniseries by Scott Snyder and Jock. While this issue is mainly devoted to fleshing out the Grim Knight’s character, it definitely reads like a chapter from the miniseries, and…
DC Super Hero Girls just relaunched on Cartoon Network, and this fall they'll be flying back on to bookshelves as well. DC Zoom is busy at the moment with a lot of new titles on the way such as Swamp Kid, and a new line of DC Super Hero Girls graphic novels. While these certainly…
As crazy as it may seem, it's already time to start thinking about the marketing of Birds of Prey. Kicking things off, DC will have a trade paperback hitting the shelves this fall to introduce newcomers to all of the characters. DC has started teasing a trade paperback coming out this holiday season entitled Harley…
We have a light week in terms of coverage this week, so I’m curious to hear what each of you will be picking up. With Detective Comics #1,000 not releasing until the end of the month, I’m definitely going to be missing that book this week… I mean, it is the best Bat book on…
One thousand issues of Detective Comics. Eighty years of Batman. That is insane. Much like they did last year with the thousandth issue of Action Comics, DC Comics are pulling out all the stops to celebrate the 80th anniversary of perhaps their most popular character: Batman. Truly, 2019 will be the Year of the Bat,…
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……
Welcome back to the Harley Quinn show everybody. In this month’s episode Harley is still undergoing the trials to become the Angel of Retribution for the Lords of Chaos and Order. In the past I’ve critiqued this book for making a hero out of the super-villain that is Harley Quinn without giving her some kind…
Can Doctor Manhattan truly be considered a man any longer? It's not a question that Doomsday Clock proposes, at least not directly, but in preparing for this review I began running over how I was going to describe him. "A man," I kept wanting to say, because it's an accurate descriptor. After all, before the…
The Legion of Doom has Perpetua, and they're only two dark energies short of the seven they need to wake her up! What's a Justice League to do? It's the beginning of the next piece in Scott Snyder's grand multiversal puzzle—"The Sixth Dimension" starts now, in Justice League #19! The bulk of this review originally…
With “Knightmares: Cat”, Tom King returns to bring us more of our previously scheduled Batman Psychodrama. The label utterly fits: this week’s episode is nothing if not ongoing theatrical therapy. I say that and it sounds like a criticism, but to be honest, I kind of liked this issue if for no other reason…
Happy March everyone! We’ve had some terrible weather throughout the U.S. the past few days, so I hope everyone is safe. Between the tornadoes in the south and the extremely cold temperatures up north, there are probably a number of people who could use some help. If you’re capable of doing so, I urge you…

“The Price” wraps up in this chapter of The Flash. After four issues of a “story” that fails to do exactly that – tell a story - one must simply ask the question: what was the point of this? I’ve been outspoken concerning how I feel about Josh Williamson’s approach to writing. Simply put, he’s…
I had high hopes that this issue, based on its synopsis, would finally move the mark for Heroes in Crisis. I had hoped that the “mystery” of this story would finally grow some legs and allow for plot progression. I had hoped that the various plot threads would fall into place after the set-up of…
Batgirl #32 is titled ‘Old Enemies: Finale’ but it doesn’t involve a dramatic showdown between old enemies and it doesn’t feel like the end of the story. Yes, this is the last time we’ll be seeing Cormorant for a while but (as established in my review for issue #31) he’s a new enemy. The only…
This is it, everybody! The final issue before we hit the big one-triple-aught. The bad news is, we have to wait until March 27th (a whole month!) before it gets here, and then you’re going to have to pick between literally dozens of variant covers from artists all across the spectrum. But first, let’s wrap…
This week, we’re getting two issues that should lead into some interesting developments. One, obviously, is Detective Comics which is on the cusp of its 1,000th issue, and the other is Heroes in Crisis, which will hopefully receive a jolt of momentum now that we’re in the back-half. Will it actually happen though? We’ll have…

Despite the fact that we’re still having to endure this Ric Grayson nonsense, Nightwing #57 takes a number of steps in the right direction. To make things even better, we have Travis Moore covering art duties! I was hesitant to say this, but… things are looking up, people! It’s no secret that I’ve hated Nightwing…
It's time for DC's baldest baddies to get more intimate than they ever have before. It's not as gross as you're imagining right now, but it's at least twelve levels more invasive. Brainiac and Luthor face off as only they can, in Justice League #18. The story prevails Justice League is in an interesting spot right…
