2 on Break (from) the Bat: DC/ Hanna-Barbera CrossoversWith DC releasing another set of crossovers featuring beloved characters from Hanna-Barbera on Halloween, I can’t say for certain if this was intended to be a trick or a treat. As with most crossovers of this nature, you get a mixed bag. Some are surprisingly entertaining or so outlandishly bad that they’re good… Meanwhile, others…
Often anthologies turn out to be a mixed bag. Some stories hit. Some miss. In the case of Batman Secret Files #1, I don’t think any of the stories here are bad, but it’s definitely clear to me which stories stand out as gems, and which are slightly weaker. Now, I have a lot to say,…
In ‘The Witching Hour,’ Tynion IV has taken us on a wild ride through the magical landmarks of the DC Universe and now it’s time for the grand finale! By the end of last issue, Hecate’s victory was all but assured; Diana’s soul was trapped in limbo while her body wreaked havoc and her fellow…
Another fan favorite is confirmed dead in this issue, and while I’m sure it will spark some negative feedback from annoyed readers, I still can’t deny that this is one hell of a book! Last month, Tom King sent shockwaves through the DC Universe when he debuted Heroes In Crisis. Established to help heroes cope…
In broad strokes, the plot for Archie Meets Batman '66 is remarkably similar to that of Batman: The Movie. There's an increased focus on the Bruce Wayne persona, not just Batman; an undercover Catwoman, infiltrating intellectual institutions under the guise of Ms. Kitanya Irenya Tatanya Karenska Alisoff (or Kitka, a charming acronym); and a team…
The Drowning continues! The flood waters brought by the evil intergalactic Triumvirate rage on, and Earth is hours away from falling completely. Can the home team heroes find a way to stem the tide? Or will Poseidon's children breathe their last? Drowned Earth officially kicks off in Justice League/Aquaman: Drowned Earth #1. Non-stop action But for a…
Last week, it was announced that Batman-News.com was acquired by Techno Buffalo. While we are excited to be part of Techno Buffalo and genuinely look forward to the future of the site, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate Chris. For many of us, we’ve always associated Batman-News with Chris. He created the site,…
Old Lady Harley is a 5 issue miniseries spinning out of Harley Quinn #42 (which can be read as a one-shot prologue to the miniseries but probably isn’t strictly required reading). Essentially, the idea is that this is the future DC Universe, which has turned into a post-apocalyptic landscape, similar to—you guessed it—Marvel’s Old Man…
If I had to comment on The Silencer with only one sentence, it would have to be, “It continues to surprise me.” As for this chapter, in particular, it’s clear the creative team had a ton of fun with this issue, and that fun is infectious. I mean, the moment I opened this book, I…
While still not the grand space opera I was hoping for, Justice League Odyssey makes some solid improvements this week to give me a new hope. As you all know, I wasn’t overly impressed with the debut of Justice League Odyssey. My score for the book was still a positive one, but barely. While I…
In “The Witching Hour – Part 4,” Hecate now has control of Wonder Woman, and just like that, the hope our team had for victory seems like a fleeting notion! Justice League Dark has been one hell of a read so far, and James Tynion deserves all the praise he can get. He’s managed to…
In Justice League #10, Aquaman met the Triumvirate of Sea Gods, an invading force which flooded the Earth. The Titans are weakened, still coming to terms with the news that their friend and leader Nightwing has been shot in the head (in Batman #55). How will they cope with the Drowned Earth, and can Dan…
Welcome back to another episode of Kings of Fear. Last time we saw Scarecrow pushing Batman off a roof, and this month we pick up right where we left off. While the plot so far has had psychedelic elements, it is in this issue that Peterson and Jones add fuel to the fire. What’s real?…
Batman Beyond #25 kicks off a brand-new arc, ‘The Final Joke.’ It’s the story Jurgens has been building towards since Rebirth began, so it’s a golden opportunity for him to turn things around and make this title good again. The issue starts strong, with the reintroduction of popular characters Dick Grayson and the Joker. Getting…
We’re now entering that mid-story place where arcs tend to get a bit saggy, but Mairghread Scott does her best--and mostly succeeds--at not belaboring the necessary bridges as Batgirl gets closer to the truth in this “Art of Crime” installment. Aptly titled “facade”, Babs struggles to maintain her dual identity despite suffering from strange after-effects…
Appropriately titled “The Talking Man”, strap yourselves in as James Robinson takes us on the fourth installment of his “Deface the Face” arc chock full of...talking. I guess it’s right there in the title, so we shouldn’t be surprised, but the story grinds to a halt and starts to choke on its own exposition as…
I am/ have been focused on a big work project for my day job, so I’m going to keep this short and sweet. We’ve got a mixed range of titles this week, and I’m curious to see what you’re excited to read! There are titles that I’m definitely looking forward to reading, and others I…
In this month’s chapter of Teen Titans, Damian and team go head to head with Lady Vic! And trust me when I tell you that this doesn’t end the way you expect it to! Teen Titans is turning out to be a bit of a conundrum for me. On one hand, there are things happening…
The groundwork has been laid; now it’s time for action! Wonder Woman #56 explained Hecate’s motivation and Justice League Dark #4 (which seamlessly picks up exactly where the previous issue left off) builds on what we’ve learnt by bringing the heroes face to face with the villain. Tynion’s pacing throughout this series has been perfect…
This issue of Harley Quinn concludes the two-part Triumph arc. For those who came in late, here’s a quick recap. Back in Harley Quinn #50, Harley broke DC Continuity, and because of this the Golden Age superhero Captain Triumph was transported from the 1940s to present day. Now it’s up to Harley to help Triumph…
