76 on Batman: The Devastator #1 reviewFrank Tieri deserves quite a bit of praise! Out of all of the Evil Batman one-shots, there are two that I really enjoyed... And Tieri wrote both of them: Murder Machine and this chapter! It's no secret that I have felt indifferent towards Metal's side stories. While the main title has been fun, the supporting…
Who is the villain in a Batman story? Is it the rogue-of-the-week, like Joker, Penguin, Riddler, or Ivy? Is it corrupt police and politicians? Batman is a complex character within himself, but his existence in a society that somewhat resembles our own forces us to question the heroism of the Dark Knight himself. What's more,…
In this issue (Digital Firsts 25 & 26 “Beyond Kahndaq”) Tom Taylor reminds us that Superman’s cousin Kara has been crashing at Black Adam’s pad after literally crashing to Earth some decades after she was sent with Kal-El away from Krypton during their apocalypse. It was Kara’s job to look after baby Kal-El and help…
Dick Grayson and Raptor go head to head in a battle of wits and words in Nightwing #32, trading rooftops for the glitz and glamour of a casino. This is a dialogue-heavy issue of Nightwing, dealing more with the histories and relationships between characters than in fights and action. Given Seeley's knack for writing dialogue,…
The Dark Knights of the Dark Multiverse have brought Dark Times to the Justice League! From nightmare worlds that should never have existed, this League of Extraordinary Evil (Lady and) Gentlemen wields powers that the League can’t beat. So how can the League possibly beat them? The answer lies in Justice League #32, as “Bats…
Oh man. Oh man, where to start with this one? I know: let's rewind the clock to around 1970. The Batman television series, which revitalized public interest in the character, has been off the air for a few years, and "Batmania" has cooled. The show was successful enough that, along with the editorial gaze of…
Halloween is on Tuesday! I’m a big kid, so I’m super excited to dress up and take my nephew trick-or-treating! I love seeing what other people dress up as, so feel free to share your Halloween pictures in the comments section below! Alright, on to business! For a collection of our opinions pertaining to last…
It's Halloween, so what better time is there to read some spoooOOOoooky Batman stories? And really, when else should you read about a guy who dresses up like a vampire bat and then literally becomes one? Such is the concept behind the second Elseworlds: Batman volume. Collecting the Batman/Dracula trilogy of Red Rain, Bloodstorm, and…
In this issue of Suicide Squad, Katana is looking for proof, Deadshot is looking for backup, and Harley is looking for… sex. I’m just going to come right out and say it. I’m not a fan of this issue. Everything that surprised me with the previous issue is nowhere to be found here. After a…
You want an emotional feel good hug-fest? Well, look no further. Detective Comics #967 delivers the goods in some major ways. But nothing is ever perfect, so I'm just going to put my biggest gripes up front and center before we move on to the positives. During the course of this story; Future Tim has…
Hope Larson pushes her Batgirl and Nightwing team up into a new level of mystery as “Summer of Lies” hits its third installment. We’re still on the trail of the elusive Ainsley, connecting the dots of nanotechnology and addiction and revenge leading back to one fleeting summer when Barbara Gordon and Dick Grayson took their…
I’m just going to come right out and say it… Justice League of America is a waste of time. I’ve struggled with JLA since its debut, and finally felt that we were going to receive a good story with “Panic in the Microverse.” I fully believed this story would meet the quality we’d expected from…
Be prepared, Batman #13 is a difficult issue to follow. There are apparently three separate stories here, but I struggled to find one single, cohesive narrative that was done well… And, honestly, when you take the time to break everything down, there’s actually an attempt to tell five different stories... So that alone might clear…
Will Kid Flash come home? After Wally assisted Deathstroke and nearly destroyed everything, Damian kicked him off the team. But Damian isn't in charge anymore, and Starfire and the rest of the crew want to bring their exiled friend in from the cold. Does Wally want back in? Find out in Teen Titans #13, as "The…
Group Editor Marie Javins, Associate Editor Jessica Chen, and “Creepy Uncle” Joey Cavalieri put a book together by essentially throwing an eye of newt and tongue of frog into a giant inky cauldron and pouring out 80 pages of naked crazy face-peeling terror. And because somehow that doesn’t = win in my book, you know…
Wonderbat! It's the romance you've demanded here at last, just long enough for it to be broken by a dead Diana and a Bruce who's let the guano go to his brain! How did the Dark Knight of Gotham become the Prince of the Dark Knights? Find out in Batman: The Merciless #1! Spoilers ahead!…
Cue up the shredding guitars, the double-kick drums, and the poorly-mixed bass: we've got us a Metal crossover. Those Dark Knights of the Dark Multiverse have come and set their sights on the Justice League, and the only way they can be stopped is a Smackdown. So yes, this issue of The Flash kicks off…
Alright, Kyle Higgins. Now you have my attention. After a shaky debut and second issue, Nightwing: The New Order is finding its footing and becoming a truly compelling work. It's crazy what a simple change in concept and direction can do. Now, that's not to say this installment of the miniseries is too far removed…
A few weeks ago, a new Metal interlude was announced: Dark Knights Rising: The Wild Hunt. If you're drawing a blank, it was the one starring Detective Chimp. Sounds awesome. In some delightfully surprising news, Scott Snyder just announced via Twitter that he'll be writing it with none other than Grant Morrison. Metal has a…
Halloween is roughly a week away, and I have no idea what I’m going to dress as. Yes, the obvious answer would be Batman, but I’d want a cool Batman costume. I’m a bit of a snob like that. I don’t want to just go buy some onesie at Target. I mean, that’s fine and…
