9 on Batman/Elmer Fudd Special #1 previewIt's time to get vewy excited, as Batman and Elmer Fudd will soon cross paths. These DC/Looney Tunes crossovers have been pretty fun so far, but needless to say this is the one I've been looking forward to the most. Written by Batman scribe Tom King and illustrated by the inimitable Lee Weeks, Batman/Elmer Fudd Special…
The “War of Jokes and Riddles” kicks off, and while it’s entertaining and good in many ways, I ultimately find myself asking many questions. Before I say anything about the script, I need to praise Mikel Janin’s art. From the first page to the last, we are treated with some of the best…
Oh Dick, don't you know better than to make a deal with the devil? I suppose not, because if he did this would be one short story arc. "Blockbuster" continues this week with Roland Desmond, the titular villain, making Dick an offer to take down the gangster Tiger Shark that the former Boy Wonder begrudgingly…
The Justice League tussles with its most fearsome foe yet—distasteful ideology! When a technologically enhanced caricature tries to swat a Nomalian city with ties to terrorism, Batman, Wonder Woman and Lantern Cruz aren't having it. It's the League vs. The Black Shield, in Justice League #23. A bit heavy-handed at the start After one trip…
Superboy is under the control of Manchester Black! With the mastermind (and master plan) revealed, Superman and friends must stop Black and restore Jon's will before things escalate further. But can they? Find out in an extra-sized Superman #25! A little muddled early on The first half of our story deals with the inevitable battle…
“Blackstar” concludes the Many Arms of Death storyline, but only in a manner of speaking. Marguerite Bennett and James Tynion IV have left a number of critical plot elements hanging, no doubt to resurrect in future storylines or weave throughout the long haul. And I definitely hope there will be a long haul. However much…
Let's talk about Alfred referring to Bruce as his "son." Fitting, as it's literally the very first line of dialogue here. I've seen a lot of complaints about it, saying that it's too one the nose and a case of bludgeoning the reader over the read with a point to drive it home. I can…
Cyborg is dying! The mysterious outbreak on the Watchtower has left Victor in critical condition, and as Batman and the Flash race to save him, Superman and Wonder Woman try to make sense of the mystery with the help of a strange visitor. Things come closer to crashing down in Trinity #10! Manapul has lost…
Imagine this: you're the son of Batman, gifted with the opportunity to be his crime-fighting partner Robin. You're smart, cunning, and resourceful, and you have access to some of the coolest gadgets money can (or even can't) buy. Plus, you know, I'll repeat: your dad is Batman. Or imagine that you're the son of Superman. …
Harley Sinn started out life in the pages of Harley Quinn as a nasty also-ran in Harley’s Gang of Harleys who was too violent and too unhinged for that kooky squad. If you missed it somehow, the Gang of Harleys is Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti’s radically diverse homage to the many fans who adopted…
Injustice 2: come to see the reveal of Ra’s al Ghul, stay for some heart-tugging reminiscences of his petulant little grandson. Tom Taylor knows how to write emotional family dynamics and there’s no family more dynamic (and dysfunctional) than Batman’s. This issue combines Digital Firsts 7 & 8 (“The Person in Charge” and “A Knight…
There are some interesting changes coming in September. There appears to be a few talent changes – granted I’m not certain if they’re permanent or just temporary. Also, All Star Batman is coming to an end in September. I’m not sure what the plan is, but apparently the other stories that Snyder and the artists…
Bryan Hitch, writer (and sometimes artist) on Justice League since the start of Rebirth, will be wrapping up his run on the title with a story beginning in issue #33. Barring any delays or other breaks, it should be released on the third Wednesday in November. Assuming it isn't longer than the typical six-issue arc, we should have…
I’m not certain what’s going on with DC concerning solicitations. There are a number of issues that don’t reflect correct information on DC’s website, or Comixology. I understand the need to push issues/ arcs back for production reasons, but it would be nice if they could actually update their site when these instances occur. I’ve…
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there! My dad isn’t a huge Batman fan (it’s not that he isn’t a fan, he just doesn’t nerd out like I do), so I got him a new grill kit! He seemed pretty thrilled about it. The kit came in a customized bamboo box, monogramed with…
Every month, I take you on a trip through the world of non-Batman comics. Starting with June's edition, I'll be sharing some goodies with a lucky winner once each month. Basically, if I get any digital codes when I pick up my books at the store, I'm going to save them and pass them on.…
We took our first steps toward Metal with this week's Dark Days: The Forge, and already DC has released some preview pages for the next chapter. With Dark Days: The Casting, it's looking like Snyder, Tynion IV, Lee, Kubert, and Romita, Jr. are doubling-down in the insanity. I mean, how do you follow Batman punching…
In a shocking bit of news, Scott Snyder has revealed that All-Star Batman will be ending as a monthly title after issue 14. Speaking with Comic Book Resources, Snyder confirms that while the title is ending as a monthly, the stories he planned to tell with artists like Paul Pope and Sean Gordon Murphy are…
Welcome back to Break from the Bat, our monthly trip outside of Gotham to the wide world of comics beyond. And this month, we are really beyond. I humbly submit for your consideration: Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer The brainchild of award-winning newspaper cartoonist Dusty Higgins, Pinocchio, Vampire Slayer picks up where the classic tale leaves off.…
Gearing up for Metal, DC Comics have revealed seven upcoming one-shot tie-ins to the Scott Snyder/Greg Capullo epic. Each issue will be handled by a different creative team, featuring some of the finest talent in the DC stable, and will focus on different corrupted aspects of Batman's personality. With names like Red Death and the…
