1 on Batman Beyond #21 reviewThe last arc of Batman Beyond, ‘The Long Payback,’ wasn’t a particularly rewarding read. It briefly shone when the titular villain was given some depth and a new Robin emerged; otherwise, I considered it a slog to read as Jurgens threw a different villain at Terry each month for mindless kicks. By contrast, some writers…
The cynical side of me says: oh look, a comic book with Black Lightning to help promote the TV show of the same name. Or even more cynical: oh look, DC comics is looking to catch the attention of fans of the TV show and encourage them to buy comics. But neither of those potential…
One month from now… San Diego Comic-Con will be behind us… I repeat, one month from now, San Diego Comic-Con will be behind us! It’s crazy to think the convention is less than a month away, much less that it will already be over in a month’s time. Clearly, I’m excited about the convention –…
With last year’s announcement that longtime Marvel creator Brian Michael Bendis has signed an exclusive contract with DC Comics, it was just a matter of time until he took a crack at the Dark Knight. He’s already dipped his toe in the water by giving the Caped Crusader a cameo in The Man of Steel,…
Since issue #1, there has been a mysterious narrative voice speaking throughout the series. This voice has been addressing Diana directly, delivering ominous messages along the lines of, “If only you had known sooner, but now it’s too late,” implying that a certain doom is coming to Tir Na Nóg. The question that has been…
For many people, Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Season 12 is a big deal. Why? Because this is the end of Buffy’s seasonal format. We are literally reaching the end of “continuity,” and it stings. Starting with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, season one, episode one, through a full seven seasons of television, five season of it’s…
It’s the wedding of the century: Batman and Catwoman are getting married. Almost eighty years in the making, the two lovebirds will finally tie the knot on July 4th... or will they? Time will tell, of course, as the nuptials play out in the supersized Batman #50, written by Tom King and illustrated by everyone…
Is this the big Batwoman finale Marguerite Bennett had planned all along? She's an excellent writer and the perfect fit for this series which makes me wonder whether it was editorial pressures that forced her to turn out such a lacklustre ending to her Rebirth epic. A large part of the Rebirth storyline has been…
It’s time for the bachelorette party! Selina and her chiquitas are headed out for a night of debauchery and dancing, and—true to form—Batman wants to keep an eye on his family. Red Hood is on the case, and after thwarting some would-be terrorists, he’s tipped to something much bigger. On the eve of stability in…
The Totality has made landfall, and Earth’s heroes are scrambling to get answers. Is it an emissary of good will or of evil? Meanwhile, the Legion of Doom pursues their own agenda around the mysterious arrival. With the League and the Legion on collision course, who will reach penetrate the secrets of the Totality first—and…
It's Catwoman to the rescue! Will the Clown Prince of Crime come out on top and ruin the soon to be wedding nuptials of DC's hottest power couple, or will Catwoman prove to the Joker that you simply don't mess with a woman's wedding? The basic synopsis of this issue is as follows; Catwoman and…
Sam Kieth essentially made his name as one of the original artists on Neil Gaiman’s magnum opus The Sandman. While that would be enough to win comic book pedigree for life, he also became synonymous with the indie-comics boom of the 90s thanks to his creation The Maxx. Possessing one of the weirdest-yet-oddly-appealing character designs…
“Rage on Harring” brings my tenure on the Injustice series to a close after five years. And what a wild ride it’s been. I have loved every moment of reading and writing about this book and I can only continue to hope and dream that someday Tom Taylor will get to write an in-universe Justice…
Issue #4 of Batman: Sins of the Father was disappointing; the plot didn’t progress enough because pages were wasted on revisiting Lawton’s origin and after several issues of familiar proficiency, Bruce Wayne suddenly started acting like an idiot. I’m pleased to report that the fifth part of the tale is much more satisfying- Gage increases…
“One of My Turns” concludes its two-part story, with Christopher Sebela wrapping up Harley’s adventures in the underground pitching battles between The Reaper and Professor Pyg. Next stop for Harley is Apokolips, but she’ll be making that journey without me. This is, I believe, my 98th review of a Harley Quinn book on this site.…
I’m currently in a World Cup fever! Depending on how long you have been frequenting the site, you may remember my love for soccer, and that when the last World Cup came around, I made a World Cup dream team… And all of them were members of the Bat-family! While I won’t do that again,…
A few months ago, DC Comics announced a brand new publishing imprint that will focus on more mature, creator-driven storytelling. Naturally, Batman will be a big part of that, with several new titles revealed as part of the launch. Today, DC have revealed some new release details for a few of the Black Label books,…
Tim Seeley writes a darn good Batgirl book! You probably don’t need to read this tie-in to follow along with the Cat and Bat nuptials, but if you skipped it, you’d only be doing yourself a disservice. Even if this wasn’t a marginally wedding-themed plot, it makes for straight-up solid reading as a stand-alone comic.…
It's a new dawn for the Titans and though I'm not really sure what was wrong with the old team, I can't help but be excited by the fresh start presented in Titans Special #1. Apart from that pesky business with the Source Wall and the Omega Titans, the main upshot of the recent No…
The current arc of Suicide Squad has easily been the best of all the arcs I’ve reviewed so far. The last two issues have been very entertaining in the way that they present the dynamic between Batman and Deadshot and the motivations for each character: both want to save Deadshot’s daughter. In this issue, rather…
