22 on Nightwing #47 review[Via text] “Dear Ben, This isn’t working anymore. I’m sorry. I know, I know… Nightwing is my favorite character, and I wanted nothing more than to review this book for the first four years I wrote for Batman-News.com… But now, things have changed. No, no. It’s not you. It’s me…. Wait… Nevermind, it is totally…
Doooooooom! How did Lex Luthor convince Sinestro and Grodd to join his crew? The Legion of Doom takes over Justice League, leading us through the recent past, the far future, and the immediate present in the space of twenty pages. Is Lex the scion of truth he claims to be? You decide—in Justice League #5.…
We’ve got a number of incredible books hitting the shelves this week! While I’m excited for the likes of Justice League and Injustice 2, I’m more excited about the return of Peter J. Tomasi writing Jon and Damian in The Adventures of the Super Sons! It will only be a twelve-issue run, but it’s going…
So, recently I took over review duties for this title from Elena, and the first issue I reviewed was #45. While I certainly don’t think that #45 was a home run—it had quite a few problems—I did actually end up enjoying the book for what it was. What made it especially enjoyable for me was…
For the second consecutive month, The Silencer has dipped in quality. The issue itself is still enjoyable enough, but I’m concerned about the future of this title based on this trend. Abnett appears to be losing his grasp on what made this book special and unique, and now it’s essentially turning into a generic action…
So… Teen Titans… Is it a dark, moody, angst-fest, or is there more to this team than meets the eye? Find out below! There will be a large group of people who will not like this run because the characters (Damian and Emiko) are “darker” than what they would prefer. If that is how you…
Her name is Erika. She is the daughter of an immigrant. Her father is a puppet-maker. He is her whole world, and he is taken from her. She knows pain. She knows loss. She is full of rage. She is Marionette. At the halfway point of the series, Doomsday Clock has delivered its most emotional…
See those creepy red eyes peering out of the darkness behind the heroes on the cover? They’re telling you what kind of book this is going to be. No Justice was the rollercoaster; now it’s time to step inside the haunted house... The promising inaugural issue of Justice League Dark begins appropriately with Zatanna. One…
There’s a new Scarecrow in town, who has the people of New Gotham gunning for the Batman. Last issue we saw Terry set upon by a mob of civilians, police and Jokerz. We do get much closer to the latest incarnation of the Master of Fear across this month’s 20 pages but not much changes…
I’ll get out my one major complaint right up front so we can dispense with it and move on to all the wonderful things that make this book a joy to read. In a word: editing. DC's Beach Blanket Bad Guys Summer Special is a compilation of 10 tales of DC universe villains: everyone from…
Here there be SPOILERS! For some of you the reveal of the identity of Karma may feel a bit like a letdown, but I’m frankly pumped at the fact that he’s so much of nothing: a street-level villain who’s just managed to make himself dangerous enough to get on Batman’s radar. This is the kind…
As is usually the case, I’m frantically playing catch-up following SDCC! Because of that, I’m keeping this intro short and sweet, and getting right to real reason you’re here… COMICS! Alright, on to business! This week’s releases are listed according to our anticipation scale, with titles listed in alphabetical order within each sub-header. For each…
It’s an exciting week for Batwoman fans: A new TV series has been announced and a popular love interest is back in Kate’s life in the pages of Batwoman #17! That’s right; GCPD officer Renee Montoya, the other breakout character from Batman: The Animated Series returns, and long-time readers will be glad to hear that…
Batman '66 is perpetually stuck in the late Sixties. That's part of the charm of the book, of course, and it's what makes it work. After all, we've seen what happens when you try to take the West and Ward Caped Crusaders out of their very specific time and place and it just doesn't work. …
As those who’ve been reading my reviews know, I’ve been loving this series since the first issue. It’s been a fantastic blend of Irish folklore, murder mystery and superheroes that really manages to transport me to another realm. And while this isn’t a typical setting for Batman, Sharpe nevertheless embraces the character’s detective roots, an…
Truly, this is the year of Starro. The psychic space starfish made a huge comeback in the event series Metal, sass-talking his way into our hearts. The irreverent, sarcastic characterization was totally unexpected, yet it worked in how ridiculous it was. Fast forward to No Justice, where Starro was teamed up with heroes and villains…
It’s the last act of Batman: Sins of the Father so it’s time for a final confrontation between Batman and Deadshot; that means a clash of ideologies, a battle of wits and (as promised on the cover) Batman punching Deadshot in the face! If you lose yourself in the moment and don’t try to guess…
Bruce Wayne is summoned to serve jury duty, but what happens when the case he is assigned to is also one that the Batman was involved in? And worse yet, what if it's a case the Batman may have actually goofed up on?!? Initially, I was thinking about starting off this review with a quick…
The poop and the fan are on a collision course! As Superman and Martian Manhunter investigate the mysterious Totality, Batman and Hawkgirl fight to keep them safe—from the inside! But Lex Luthor and the Joker have stowed away, and things are about to get very much more hectic for our heroes. And as if that…
Spinning out of Harley Quinn #42, writer Frank Tieri and artist Mauricet will dive deeper into the Mad Maxian future that Harley Quinn found herself in with the upcoming miniseries Old Lady Harley. Debuting this October, the series will have more futuristic hijinks as well as flashbacks detailing the rift that was driven between Harley…
