16 on Upcoming Comics: July 19, 2017Guys!!!! We leave for Comic-Con tomorrow! Andrew, Brandon, Jay, and I will all be attending this year, so make sure you follow us on Twitter for full coverage! We’ll also be posting major announcements on the site, but for everything else (you know, all those cool little tidbits), you’re going to have to follow us!…
In the vein of DC's line of Bombshell statues, a new digital-first comic series based on the Gotham City Garage miniatures was just announced. Trading costumes for motorcycles and tattoos, the series will feature familiar faces such as Harley Quinn, Wonder Woman, Catwoman, and even Silver Banshee as they fight for freedom in an alternate reality.…
This November, DC Comics will release the first installment of a two-part Batman story from Enrico Marini. The fact that it's two graphic novels instead of a multi-part miniseries is a nice break from the norm, allowing for more longform storytelling. Whether this is part of an approach that DC will be taking for other…
Welcome back to Break from the Bat, our monthly exploration of what's happening outside of Gotham. I don't know about you, but some weeks, I have trouble keeping up with all of the books I want to read. Family stuff needs more time than usual, work gets crazy, and titles that aren't at the top…
Oh Justice League of America… You’re a mess of a book, but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that part of me loves how terrible you are. There are a number of problems with Justice League of America, and when you take a moment to assess how you could improve it, you…
Yet again, Dan Abnett proves that Titans is not only the best hero, team book being published by DC at the moment, but also one of the most entertaining! Something needs be said about properly planning a narrative. Take one look at Titans, and it’s clear that Abnett has plans set to run…
This week in the pages of Detective Comics: Batman seeks the answers to all questions, Luke Fox plays Doctor Frankenstein, and Azrael goes nuts. ***Right up front, I'd like to inform everyone coming here to read this review that it doesn't follow the standard format that I usually adhere to. On rare occasions, I end…
Batgirl & the Birds of Prey continues its run as a ridiculous book, with little substance, illogical plots and motivations, and insulting characterizations… Twelve issues in, it’s clear none of these aspects will change, so if you’re hoping for something different, then I’m sorry to tell you that it probably won’t happen. BUT, the…
I’m just going to level with you all: I had to read this comic three times before any of it even began to gel with me, and by then I felt as bloated as if I’d eaten six sleeves of soda crackers and drank a gallon of water. “The Casting” completes Scott Snyder and James…
In this chapter of Suicide Squad, Amanda Waller goes on trial, and Harley Quinn takes over as the field leader of the Squad! I wish I could say I enjoyed this issue as much as I typically do, but this whole Harley thing is really throwing me off! Writing comics is no easy…
Maps Maps Maps Maps Maps Maps Maps Maps Maps Maps. That's right! This issue is all about, the one, the only, the incomparable....Maps! So, if you are a Maps fan (like I am, and like I'm sure 90% of you out there are), you're going to have a great time with this issue. As the…
Bizarro is dying. The goofy, beloved super-clone has been the emotional glue of the Outlaws since this series began, all while having an innate death sentence hanging over his head. Is this really the end? That is the question haunting Red Hood and the Outlaws #12. Lop-sided excellence We're a year into RHATO now, and what…
Steve Orlando brings “Escape from the Phantom Zone” to its inevitable finale. What do you think, folks? Do Supergirl and Batgirl and random Ben character make it out safely? Do they defeat the evil Xa-Du? Does the giant pink dragon open up a can of whup on the scene? I think we know all the…
Did everyone have a happy 4th of July? Hopefully none of you lost a finger, eye, or foot from fireworks. That would be…. Well, it would be funny, but I would feel bad for you. (I’m kidding… I would just feel bad for you… maybe…). I got to spend the day with my family –…
The Titans have faced numerous threats: entire teams of supervillains, creatures from the underworld, and traitors among their ranks. So when the Justice League comes calling, you know they're going to answer. And what is it that is too difficult for even the League to surmount? Baby... sitting? D'awwwwwwwwww. He's got a widdle-biddy spit-curl and…
This October, Batman becomes a bad guy. Sean Gordon Murphy, illustrator of The Wake, will helm a miniseries that puts a twist on the Batman mythos: Batman is the villain and the Joker is the hero. After being cured of his madness, Joker makes it his mission to take down the Batman, using social issues…
Batman is riding on a dinosaur. For some of you, that will be enough and you've already pre-ordered your copies of Metal. As promised, this series is looking absolutely bonkers in the best possible ways. For anyone else, there's more to this preview than just the (awesome) image of Batman on a T-Rex. As Scott Snyder…
I posted last week’s Cover Talk late, so I’m going to hold off on posting the results for those polls until next week. Last week’s post also included the March Variant Cover Polls to help get us caught up, so if you didn’t vote, you can do so by clicking here. Make your voice heard…
The bad girls of Gotham will meet the good girls of Riverdale in October's Harley & Ivy Meet Betty & Veronica. It was simply a matter of time, too, as these are two of the hottest comics properties around these days: Harley's one of the most popular characters in DC's roster, and the entire line…
Yesterday, I read two comic books. One was Batman #26. The other was this totally generic comic that lacked even a hint of intrigue and resorted to a paint-by-numbers approach that eliminated any sort of unconventional storytelling elements. It's not that this comic was bad (although it does have one very bad part), but the…
