23 on Upcoming Comics: October 4, 2017I’d planned on joking about how my birthday is on the 4th, and that I’d happily post a wish list on Amazon for anyone that felt like buying me books for my birthday, but that seems like nonsense after what happened in Las Vegas… I’m not going to lie, the past week and a half…
Back in June in "Batman #24", Batman popped the big question and proposed to Catwoman. After months of waiting, fans will finally learn her answer in this week's "Batman #32". USA Today has the answer right now along with comments from writer Tom King. Read on if you choose... Spoiler alert: Catwoman says "yes", after…
Batman News was granted the opportunity to connect with writer Hope "Sun Hat" Larson and artist Chris "Top Hat" Wildgoose to find out a little more about their work together on the Batgirl series. We're now 15 issues into this latest run and we've seen Barbara Gordon face some new challenges, but nothing like her…
Batgirl (Beyond) makes her (second) debut in this chapter of Batman Beyond! I wonder what she’s been up to in this post-Brother Eye Neo Gotham? This month, DC is giving Dan Jurgens and Bernard Chang a little break, and delivering a filler issue of Batman Beyond in their absence. Right away, you should know not…
Hungry for both food and justice? Looking for something to do on a rainy day? Curious if there's a way to cross-indoctrinate your child with super hero and non-super hero concepts at the same time? Once again, it's the good folks at Downtown Bookworks to the rescue! Few things generate more excitement in my youngest son…
Let's get this out of the way up front: "the Murder Machine" is a pretty silly name. And it's not like the other Dark Knights are being subtle either: Devastator? Red Death? The Drowned? You know what these guys are about. Murder Machine is probably the most on-the-nose of the lot, but you know what?…
In this issue of Justice League of America, we find out what Ray Palmer has been up to these past few months… And that’s about it. I’ve been a champion for “Crisis in the Multiverse” because it’s easily been the best arc in Justice League of America since its debut. Quite frankly, this is the…
“Summer of Lies” continues as Batgirl and Nightwing deepen their investigation into ex-colleague Ainsley’s potential vendetta (using nano-technology and possibly the Wonderland Gang to further aims we still have yet to fully identify). This story is using all of Barbara Gordon’s skill sets: doing the detective work to piece together how current events are likely…
After ten long months, we finally bring this team-up to a close. It began with so much great energy coming out of the gate: a first-rate writer, an excellent artist, and a premise full of promise. But instead of going out with the bang it probably could have and should have had, it sort of…
Detective Comics #965 is essentially a love letter to Tim Drake and I'm completely, absolutely, and utterly on board with that. I sat down and opened this issue to the very first page, and going no further than that, I already felt in my gut that I was holding something special. Something that hand been…
You should know something before you read my review… The story doesn’t matter. Just go get this issue because of Stjepan Sejic’s art! No seriously. Do it just to boost sales to show the importance of damn good artists! My introduction to this review is clearly a joke. Well, 50% of it is a joke.…
Dick Grayson has created some problems for himself. In the future presented in The New Order, the former Nightwing has done what he can to eliminate superpowers. Not content with setting off a bomb that takes away the abilities of 90% of the world's superpowered population, Dick is also the head of an organization that…
This story no longer makes any sense. What started out as a simple detective/thriller/noir story has devolved into super-powered inter-dimensional aliens. Although, to be honest, I don't have a problem with the inter-dimensional aliens/"Teachers". What I have a problem with is that the rules this world is governed by aren't adding up. The story starts off by…
Happy Day After Batman Day! I don’t know about you all, but my wallet needs to recover after the amount of money I spent yesterday… I seriously loaded up on some comics (digital and physical copies) to round out my collection. If you have any pictures of your score or how you celebrated (even if…
In Batman #32, due on October 4th, we'll finally have answers to some burning questions: what did Batman do during "The War of Jokes and Riddles" that even he is ashamed of? How will Selina react to this revelation? And, most burning of all, will she accept his marriage proposal? We'll have to wait another…
We get our first spotlight on Metal’s Dark Batmen with Batman: Black Racer Red Death #1. Oh, sorry… Was that telling? Batman: Red Death is ok. It’s not great, but it’s not terrible either. One of the things I think we’re going to come across with these evil Batmen, are comparisons. Clearly just looking…
We’re barrelling headlong toward the conclusion of Injustice 2 and what should be quite the cataclysmic confrontation between Batman and his “in-laws”--so say nothing of his estranged son and his zombie butler. “Scorched Earth” combines Digital Firsts 19 & 20 to get us into Ras al Ghul’s compound. I will confess the opening scenes are…
“Vote Harley!” We’re kicking of Harley Quinn’s mayoral candidacy in this book that’s an odd combination of a car-theft-ring bust and what’s looking to be Madison’s ultimate downfall. It’s one of those bridge books that demonstrates how brilliant Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti are at lobbing set-ups that still percolate with good energy and action.…
Marguerite Bennett (going solo on this installment) writes Batwoman like a fever dream. It’s disorienting, the logic is nearly impossible to follow, and you come away with a vague sense of there being some kind of inscrutable puzzle for which you have none of the proper pieces. But to be honest, I don’t think that’s…
This issue is pretty straight forward and predictable, which isn't something I've come to expect from King. Even when I've disliked a route he has chosen to take, it's still been fresh. He's also typically shown himself to be much more about exploring ideas instead of straight up offering a story that revolves almost entirely…
