15 Years of Coverage (2010-2025)

When I read Batman: White Knight, I immediately noticed a striking difference between it and pretty much every Joker-related book I’ve seen in the past few years: Joker’s dialogue was set in the same font as everything else. Whereas other recent stories have made use of crinkly, Jokerized fonts, letterer Todd Klein chose to use…
A flu-like virus strikes the men in Gotham, and with it comes a horde of female superheroes to the rescue! Commissioner Gordon is sick with the flu! Oh no! What on earth will happen? Who will save him? How can we expect the Gordon family to move past this tragedy?!?! Why is living so hard!?!?!?!?!?!?!…
Scott is never free What is real in Mister Miracle? I’m not sure anyone can say. Perhaps it will eventually become clear. Perhaps Scott will live up to his reputation and escape this, his most intricate trap yet. We shall see. In the meantime, we can only watch him plod across the long, slow distance…
Crime in Gotham is no more! Bolstered by Bizarro’s new-found intelligence, the Outlaws have cleaned up the streets. But when Gotham’s other protectors launch an investigation to figure out why, things get a bit more complicated for our heroes. “Bizarro Reborn” continues, in Red Hood and the Outlaws #15. Spoilers ahead Not my preferred approach...…
NYCC was this past weekend, and while we got a few announcements from the convention, we didn’t get as many as I thought we would. There was an announcement that the Dark Matter line has been renamed to the New Age of DC Heroes. With the announcement of the name change, DC also announced two…
Well. This went a few different places I wasn't expecting. It's always nice when the direction a story takes surprises you. That happened a few times during this installment off Teen Titans Go! The end result is still pretty routine when all is said and done, but the relative complexity of such a short story…
All-Star Batman may have just ended (as a monthly), yet we're already getting some ideas about Scott Snyder's next great Batman story: Batman: Last Knight. Granted, details are scarce right now, but Snyder had a few choice sound bites from NYCC. CBR has more information, but this was pretty interesting: “I want it to be my…
The Shadow may take the leading credit in this title, but this issue is all Batman! Personally, I loved Batman/ The Shadow. Yes, I feel as though it could have ended a little better, but overall Steve Orlando won me over with his depiction of Batman. I thought the noir aspect, the detective work, and…
DC Comic's super-weird imprint has found some great success since launching last year. The new Doom Patrol and Cave Carson titles were almost instant critical darlings, and Mother Panic shone a light on parts of Gotham that are rarely spoken of. And, come on: Bug! is just awesome. Aside from the occasional cameo, though, these…
I wasn’t expecting much from this issue, and as a stand-alone issue, I think it’s ok… But there are so many epic moments that happen here that I’m literally like, “Go Metal! Go Metal! Hey, Snyder! It’s yo’ birthday! Shake your bootay!” We’ve reached the fourth and final chapter of “Gotham Resistance,” and I honestly…
Did Selina say, "Yes". Did Selina say, "No". That's probably the biggest question on everyone's mind right now. But before we get to that, we need to evaluate the rest of the issue. In my last review, I brought up the fact that it felt as if the story was being spread out. As if…
The one thing I kept trying to figure out going into this story, was how Paul Dini and Marc Andreyko were going to naturally marry these characters and worlds. Let’s face it, the Batman universe and the Archie universe shouldn’t be kindred spirits. Even the crazy, fun, absurdity that we’ve come to expect with Harley…
What if the Joker wasn’t crazy anymore? What if the brutality of Batman became too much for his beloved city to accept? Sean Murphy’s Batman: White Knight #1 is at last here: a gorgeously-illustrated, well-written start to a series that may well become a defining moment in the history of the Dark Knight. Spoilers ahead…
Conner and his parents (Green Arrow and Black Canary) are reunited! Wildcat may actually survive his encounter with EvilBats! Harley Quinn changes sides (again)! And Damian gets a haircut! The most exciting thing about this issue for Batfans, however, is that Batman actually takes center stage. And it’s easy to see why writer Tom Taylor…
Welcome to “Debates and Delusions” wherein Harley Quinn takes on the other mayoral candidates after huffing fear toxin compliments of Scarecrow himself. If that sounds like the kind of deranged thing you’d love to read about, step right up for this carnival of confusion. Harley’s got a long way to go with her candidacy, but…
Who is the mysterious Sovereign? What is her connection to the League? Why is Arthur her man-wench? Is Wonder Woman really the cause of everything that will be bad in the world? Justice League #30 answers some of those questions, and I’m here to tell you how it does. WITH SPOILERS! Love it or hate…
Well, we're reaching the end of the road. In just a few short months, Tim Seeley will no longer be writing Dick Grayson. Beginning with December's 35th issue, current Green Lanterns writer Sam Humphries will take over the title, while Seeley will be the new writer on Green Lanterns. A nice old switcheroo. It feels…
Yarr, ye scavernous bilgerats. Buckle yer swash and hoist the mainsail, prepare to weigh anchor and set course for adventure as All-Star Batman draws to a close. If you have any doubts about Snyder's sincerity with the pirate motif, just know that the very first page sees an airplane take off from a landmass with…
