15 Years of Coverage (2010-2025)

Viktor Bogdanovic joins The Silencer with this issue, and man does his work look good! Last month, I went on a bit of a rant about how DC is handling their New Age of Heroes imprint, and I think some readers misinterpreted that I was unhappy with The Silencer itself. Let me clarify, that’s not…
The Justice League of America are stranded at the dawn of time, and the god of superheroes lies slain at their feet. Can they defeat Chronos and ensure the continued existence of heroism on Earth? Considering there will still be comics coming out of DC's publishing house as soon as next week, I think it's…
Duke's make-or-break series comes to a dramatic end and though the book itself suggests he's here to stay, I suspect readers may feel differently. Just like the previous issues of Batman and The Signal, issue #3 opens with a page of confusing monologue from Duke that has little to do with the story. I think Tony…
With a title like “Strange Loop” I can only hope that writer Hope Larson isn’t planning to Ground Hog day us with this closing arc on Batgirl. So far the signs are good that we’re in for a different kind of strange, though. With Shawn Aldridge stepping in for the June issue, Larson will take…
In issue #18, Batman Beyond took a step in the right direction by finally bringing an end to the parade of one-dimensional villain encounters and by introducing lasting changes to the status quo. Issue #19 serves as both the finale of the arc and as an examination of the effects one of these adjustments has…
I don’t know about you, but I’m still on a high from Action Comics #1,000, and I’m also growing more excited for the creative changes that are on the horizon! DC released their solicitations for July last week, but there wasn’t really anything noteworthy that hadn’t already been announced independently. I still have suspicions that…
In The Brave and the Bold: Batman and Wonder Woman #3, the story moves forward at a calm pace. Where previously the focus was mostly on Wonder Woman, it shifts to Batman in this chapter. We get to see inside his analytical mind as the pair are solving the murder of the king of Tir…
The story comes full circle for the Super Sons as Kid Amazo is back on the scene. The boys' first real foe has broken free from his imprisonment at LexCorp and sets his sights on amassing more and more power. Pretty basic plot, and it works well enough. Per usual, though, the real draw here…
Batwoman readers have been waiting quite a while for the return of Alice and though she’s demented as ever and gets plenty of page-space this month, issue #14 left me a little underwhelmed. There aren’t any flashbacks this issue, which is a relief as I think we’re all ready for the story proper to begin.…
It’s Damian versus Roy Harper in this week’s Nightwing! Ok… Not really, but it might as well be because the banter between these two is a ton of fun! This is the second “filler” issue for Nightwing before Ben Percy begins his run in May. Typically, I’m not the biggest fan of filler issues. I…
If you want to read a really unusual issue of Batman, well, you've come to the right place. However, Batman #45 isn't so much a Batman story as it is a Booster Gold story featuring Batman. That sentence alone might be all that some of you need to know in order to opt out of…
I know what happens in Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II #6, but I couldn't really tell you the sequence of events. There are notable things that stick out here and there, yet the structure completely escapes me. The finale plays out more like a montage of events than an actual narrative, which keeps even the…
In comics these days, when he’s not teaming up with the Justice League to tackle a cosmic threat, Batman spends his time attempting to overcome increasingly devastating, high stakes issues in Gotham, usually involving the destruction of half the city. Meanwhile, Gage and Ienco dream of a simpler time and in Sins of the Father…
I never would have imagined that Supergirl could take on Amazo by herself and sell it, but Tom Taylor carefully choreographs a scenario just daring enough to pull it off! And this is the great fun of this book: Injustice 2 gives us all the crazy mashups and pit fights we could hope for from…
Let’s suddenly jump into the far-flung future in one of those comics that plays on the “What If” trope, taking Harley down the path of what would have happened if she hadn’t returned to her home and her gang and the bosom of her friends. “Old Lady Harley” recasts Harley as Mad Max (with the…
Bruce Wainwright has a problem. The Batman born of his grief has crossed lines that the Batman from the comic books never would, and Bruce is caught up in something that seems increasingly dangerous and unstable. Who is the mysterious Batman, and why has he come to Bruce's aid? Answers begin to come out in Batman:…
We're really, really excited about this one. Action Comics has reached issue 1000. That is insane. DC Comics have been preparing for this for quite a while now, releasing teasers, variant covers, and sneak previews. We here at Batman News have been just as excited for it, doing a little personal writing of our own…
Pandemonium! Deathstroke the Terminator has made wreck of the Justice League's peacekeeping efforts in fictional, sub-Saharan Africa, and to make matters worse, he keeps salting the wound with one savage burn after another. Can the League fix the mess that this book claims they made? Find out in Justice League #43, as "Justice Lost" concludes. SPOILERS AHEAD.…
The Batman of the Injustice universe can always use allies in his war with Superman. This summer, the Dark Knight may just have the power to take down his former ally and friend as he finds help in an... unlikely place: the citizens of Eternia. Yes, Batman will be teaming up with He-Man. Finally, all…
This is first and foremost a Batman site… But let’s be honest, we all know that this week is really about Action Comics reaching its milestone, issue #1000! I mean, think about that! What an incredible feat! So, in addition to our usual coverage (and there are some great releases hitting shelves this week), we’re…
