2 on Break from the Bat: Green Lantern: Earth One, Vol. 1This article was originally published on Comics Now. Reprinted with permission. What if the Green Lantern Corps were a relic of a bygone age? What if there were nothing but whispers in the stars and a handful of scattered rings to bear witness to its existence? Gabriel Hardman’s Green Lantern: Earth One imagines such a…
Two books that I cover are ending this week. For one of them, The Shadow/ Batman, I’m quite sad it is coming to a close. Then there’s Harley and Ivy Meet Betty and Veronica. I don’t want to say that reviewing this book has felt like a chore, but I haven’t enjoyed reading it, much…
All good things must come to an end, and so is the case with The Shadow/ Batman. Of the many titles I’ve reviewed for Batman-News.com over the past few years, this is easily one of my favorites! I’m sad to see this book go – and hope that its absence is only temporary – but…
DC Comics have been all about the publishing imprints lately. They've revived Vertigo, promised new Jinxworld stories from Brian Michael Bendis, and are even launching an entire line of books based on Neil Gaiman's Sandman universe. This morning, in an exclusive with The Hollywood Reporter, they've announced another brand new publishing imprint: Black Label. The…
Two weeks ago, in the pages of Batman, Ivy took over the entire world in order to make it a better place....and I found the opening act to "Everyone Loves Ivy" absolutely intoxicating. Ivy is one of my favorite Bat-villains, so bonus points are already awarded just for using her. But that doesn't mean I…
This chapter of Nightwing has a variety of surprises including, but not limited to, motorcycles, a squid, and purple, teddy bear backpacks… Unfortunately, this is another issue without Guppy… The last time we were in Bludhaven, Nightwing was on an all-out mission to stop the Judge, and managed to come face-to-face with the foe. The…
Frank Tieri continues to kitchen-sink this book full of names and faces that stretch all across the decades of Batman lore. Unfortunately reading this book is more like a Who’s Who game or a flip-visit through a Batman villain encyclopedia that a meaty plot we can actually sink our teeth into. “Angry Bird” is now…
The potpourri of characters and situations in this week’s Injustice 2 is a testament to Tom Taylor’s ability to juggle his sizable (and ever-growing) cast and their many intricate motivations, actions, and plans over the course of this thus-far long haul for video-game tie-in (which I think we can pretty much stop referencing at this…
Bane: Conquest #10 is the third issue in a row in which a showdown is heralded but not delivered. I have low expectations for each issue but at the moment even these are not being met. It’s as if Dixon has too many issues to fill and has to come up with a dull, new…
The Justice League is beset on all sides—by one crazed fan! Maybe! Cyborg makes landfall and attempts to fix the mess on the ground, but there's an angry crowd of citizens feeling neglected by our heroes. Everything's a mess in Justice League #40. SPOILERS AHEAD These are not heroes I complained last time about Priest's Superman allowing…
The GTO is on the hunt for Batman! The Dark Knight's friends have left one-by-one, and with Gordon joining Jack Napier's task-force, the pressure is on Gotham's king vigilante like never before. Can Batman evade capture? Can Jack keep the Joker at bay? Find out in Batman: White Knight #6. SPOILERS AHEAD What are you? Last month, White…
Bane: Conquest #9 is not all action, unlike several earlier issues of the series. Instead, it’s funny, gruesome and always extraordinary but readers should be warned that, despite its proximity to the series’ end, the plot doesn’t progress much. This is because issue #9 is (like issue #8 before it) a set-up issue designed to…
How is it already March? When I was a kid, I’d always hear adults talk about how time goes by faster as you get older, and I always thought they were crazy! No, seriously, I thought there was something wrong with them… and then I became an adult. I started a career. Got hitched (well,…
A new familiar face comes to Teen Titans Go! as the group go in for annual health and wellness check-ups. Writer Matthew Manning makes a pretty strong debut on the title with a story that is both hilarious and all too real. When Robin is more obnoxiously full of himself than usual, he reveals that…
If you’ve been on board the Bane train for Conquest so far then you know by now that it’s a slow-moving, action-heavy series with little consideration for logic or characterisation. Issue #8 doesn’t cover much distance in terms of plot but if you’ve been enjoying this ride for the insanity and nostalgia, this could be…
Suicide Squad #36 is the second chapter of Drain the Swamp, a story starring Hack as the main villain. Last issue we were introduced to the super soldier known as The Wall, a living weapon controlled by the President of the United States. We also saw that Hack has somehow merged with Belle Reve’s mainframe,…
Teen Titans #17 is the start of a new arc entitled It Ain’t Easy Being Green. Considering that this issue picks up where the crossover Super Sons of Tomorrow left off, with the wreckage of a Titans Tower, new readers jumping on board might be somewhat confused, but it should still be an okay jumping-on…
So, I think it's been fairly well established that I'm down with weird. The crazier the better. A detective chimp named Detective Chimp? Sold. Supermen from across the ages fighting a monster that eats time itself? Amazing. Cave Carson vomiting up Swamp Thing and also sending out his cybernetic eye to hide a bunch of…
Do not mess with Honor Guest or her family… She’ll kill you for doing so. Last month, we were graced with the debut of The Silencer! I say “graced” because so far, it’s the only title from DC’s New Age of Heroes that’s managed to pack a punch. While the other titles have looked incredible,…
Shots are fired! Hope Larson gives us a solid issue in which Batgirl struggles to solve a technological mystery while also facing a failure of her recent past in a book more solid and more indicative of what this series can really by like when it’s allowed to shine. No goofy social media that will…
