7 on This Week in Comics: Sharks, robots, and 8-breasted squid womenReviews 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……
We’re back with another set of covers as we work to decide the Top 25 Covers of 2019! We've got some catching up to do with January covers, so get your voting fingers ready! Before getting to the polls though, here are the top covers you picked from January 9, 2019! Below you’ll find the…
We’re five issues into Heroes in Crisis and we finally get something that should’ve taken place in issue three… Plot progression. Much to the chagrin of many readers, I’ve been rather positive towards Heroes in Crisis – at least more so than the general public would probably like me to be due to the various…
Batgirl #31 doesn’t get off to a good start. Last issue opened with an essential recap because important events had taken place between issue #29 and issue #30. This time, we’re given a recap of issue #30, which is entirely unnecessary if you’re keeping up with this series, as most readers are. What makes matters…
The Justice League is going to the Source—Wall, that is. Starman thinks the team can fix it, so the team gets to getting—and we all know nothing can go wrong when a total stranger leads you on a vague mission of universal salvation. Watch the uneventful success unfold, in Justice League Annual #1! Good thing…
Peter J. Tomasi just accomplished in less than a single issue of his “Mythology” arc all the same angst and drama, questions, fears, and craziness that has been pounded on for the last six months in the Batman title book. And he did it in a way that’s thrilling and heart-wrenching and absolutely crazy-making: by…
Your DC Universe subscription just got a tiny bit more valuable as the service has announced it is doubling its number of comic offerings. DC Universe announced on Tuesday that by the end of March users will see the number of comics offered in the app doubled. New titles are already being added immediately, but even…
After a light week last week, we’ve got a pretty good roster of books to cover for this week… And some of them I can’t wait to get my hands on! 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…

Even if your comics are the best ones out there, it's tough to just publish books. You need to make action figures, movies, TV shows, various hats - you get the idea. But for a company like DC, that publishing core still has to hold everything else up, and it looks like some recent employee…
"Escape from Hawkworld" reaches its shocking conclusion! Martian secrets! Hawk secrets! Other secrets! All this, and maybe more secrets in Justice League #16. SPOILERS WILL SURELY FOLLOW This is not good With apologies to James Tynion, toward whom I bear no ill will, this is just not very good. This has been the story of Tynion's contributions to Justice League: his…
I always look forward to an appearance by John Constantine. [spoiler]Would’ve been awesome if he’d actually shown up.[/spoiler] Tom King continues to try our patience with his Nightmares arc in an issue called “Smoke and Mirrors” which is essentially that: a whole of nothing made out to be something, but proving immaterial in the end.…
With Nightwing returning to a monthly release schedule, we only have two books we’ll be providing full coverage on this week. There will be plenty more to discuss in This Week in Comics on Friday though! In other news, April 2019 solicitations should be hitting this week (today?), but most of them have already been…
George Perez, considered one of the defining comics artists of the 1980s, has announced his formal retirement from the industry. "With respect to future published work in comics and such," Perez said in a statement on his Facebook account, "while I know it’s been no secret that I’ve been dealing with a myriad number of…

Here we are. The final issue of Suicide Squad. It’s not a secret that I have been very critical of this series since I started reviewing it, and even this book’s final arc—Rocket to Russia—hasn’t exactly received the most favorable reviews from me so far. With an extra-long issue to conclude Williams’s long run as…
The Justice League are thrown into a land of swords and sorcery as the Joker and King Shark try to overthrow Themyscira in the DC Primal Age 100-page Giant. If that description doesn’t pique your interest, then I don’t know what to tell you, friend. I mean, Batman rides a wolf. Awesome. Based on the…
The Batman Who Laughs, arguably one of the scariest new additions to Batman’s rogues gallery, has returned to Gotham City, and the mystery continues this month in issue #2. Those who have read my review of issue #1 know that I absolutely loved that one as it offered a fun mix of super-heroics, body horror…
Jason reaches the end of his journey into the Underlife, but his adventures are just beginning. Meanwhile, we check in on our other two Outlaws in what/where/whenever they are! All this, plus a blast from the past, in Red Hood and the Outlaws #30. Much better The past several issues have been the first major…
I’m going to get my big criticism of Peter J. Tomasi’s first arc out of the way up front and this is it: these issue titles are cracky at best, sorta schlocky at worst thus far. Last issue was “Ring Them Bells” and this issue is “See Paris and Die!” I don’t know if Tomasi…
