1 on Batman Beyond #17 reviewThere have been two mysterious figures operating in the shadows in Batman Beyond lately; a sneaky female vigilante and the puppeteer engineering his revenge against Terry. If you’ve been reading the series and haven’t already guessed their identities, you may wish to pick up issue #17 to find out who they are. However, in almost…
Detective Comics #975 continues to deal with the fallout resulting from Batwoman killing Clayface. But whereas #974 contained extremely volatile reactions from some of the cast, this issue has given the characters time for their immediate emotional responses to recede and allowed them to have some much more constructive and analytical assessments of the situation…
Now that the threat of the Might Beyond the Mirror has been taken care of, the Justice League of America are ready for a new day and a new mission. Batman's back, Aztek may finally have a spot on the team, and... that's about it. There isn't much that happens that's particularly exciting. A shame,…
Below you’ll find the covers for January week three and four, followed by each week’s variant covers. Check them out. Study them. Try your best not to let your opinion of the story affect your thoughts on the cover, then vote for your favorite. If you’re like me, and can’t decide on just one, then…
Last week we got some information pertaining to some creative changes and cancellations. We’re unfortunately saying goodbye to Super Sons in May, but Tomasi went to Twitter to confirm that the cancellation wasn’t because of poor sales, and that Jon and Damian would be moving on to other things. We also learned that Batgirl &…
My power has been in and out the past few days thanks to a string of heavy thunderstorms, so I’m getting this to you guys a little later than I intended. This week in Break From the Bat, we’re splitting our focus between “Milk Wars” and DC’s New Age of Heroes. Milk Wars: Shade the…
Batman #41 is the first chapter of the three-part arc, Everyone Loves Ivy. The premise of the arc is that Poison Ivy, through the elemental force of the Green, enthralls the entire planet, including the Justice League. The stakes are high and only Batman and Catwoman have found means to stay out of Ivy’s control.…
The Brave and the Bold: Batman and Wonder Woman #1 is the start of a 6 issue mini-series both written and drawn by Liam Sharpe. The premise of the series (and I’m paraphrasing the solicit here) is that when a Celtic god is murdered, a war erupts between the fairy folk. While Wonder Woman is…
At the end of issue #11, Kate announced that now Julia was safe, she could head to Brussels to save her sister from Safiyah. Issue #12 doesn’t really progress the current story much. Instead, it lays the foundation for a dramatic reunion with the Mother of War by answering the principal question we’ve had since…
Sam Humphries continues to deliver a mixed bag of intrigue and lack-of-focus in this chapter of Nightwing “The Untouchable.” In many ways, Humphries has developed some great beats for “The Untouchable.” Unfortunately, those highlights are becoming overshadowed by the story's opportunities, and that’s never good. A story can have excellent moments – those moments might…
It's been a pretty busy year for our Super Sons. Their series kicked off last year with one of the strongest debut issues in recent memory, thanks in no small part to the superstar team of Peter Tomasi and Jorge Jimenez. The title has mellowed out a bit over the course of the year, with…
The deranged Fan has divided and scattered the Justice League. Public opinion is sinking, systems are compromised, and our heroes appear to be under siege. How can they stop an adversary who knows them so well? And how do they repair the broken trust of the people they serve? Things are not looking so good…
What a weird ride this series has been: it started off pretty lackluster, turned things around in its second issue, and then hit what I can only hope is its nadir at the halfway point last month. To say that the second team-up between Batman and the Ninja Turtles has been inconsistent wouldn't be too…
Tom Taylor plays with the lives of the Injustice characters like a cruel and merciless god who occasionally has a good day and decides to do something kind for a change. So while this book deals lots of death blows, it also reaffirms a few lives in that surprising and wholly organic way that Taylor…
Telltale Games, purveyors of cinematic, choice-driven video games, graced us with their first Batman season in 2016 and it was very well-received so it’s not surprising that a second season followed and DC have now launched a comic series to bridge the gap between the two (especially if you consider how successful the Injustice spin-off…
Issue #1 of Batman and the Signal was a rocky but not altogether unsatisfying start. Issue #2 continues the odd story of Gotham by daylight and avoids the major pitfall of the previous issue by barely including Batman at all. This is good in one respect because Tony Patrick didn’t nail the dark knight’s voice…
The “Angry Bird” arc continues, but this time without much in the way of actual angry birds. We know that Oswald Cobblepot is still pulling the strings from behind the scenes, but for the moment the focus is on the first wave of goony D-list villains he’s shopped in from Gotham to start wreaking havoc…
At the heart of the current arc in Trinity is quite an exciting kernel of an idea; Earth’s three greatest heroes inserted into a fantasy milieu. Unfortunately, after reading Trinity #18, I’m convinced that ‘the Trinity in Skartaris’ made up the entirety of James Robinson’s pitch to DC. It’s never developed from idea to actual…
Nightwing will face off against a villain for the digital age this May, as Benjamin Percy takes over writing duties on the title. Beginning in issue #44, coming this May, the superstar writer will take Nightwing in a new direction in "The Bleeding Edge." Percy, who has received great acclaim with his runs on Green…
Brian and Jay have been up to some devious scheming lately, and recently announced a new podcast they’re hosting, Comics Now. In fact, less than 48 hours after the announcement, they had their first episode up! I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty excited about it, and look forward to seeing what these two…
