  • DC to live-stream Snyder/Capullo panel at Fan Expo Dallas

    It's no secret that Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, superstar team of the New-52 Batman title, were planning another project together.  Snyder hasn't been shy about hinting at their reunion, and after the details of Dark Days were released this past week it only seemed like a matter of time until there was an official…


  • Detective Comics Vol. 9: Gordon At War

      I don’t look fondly on Jim Gordon’s stint as Batman. In fact, for the year that he claimed the mantle of Batman, I remained consistently vocal in my opposition of the decision. I felt as though it were a desperate attempt for something “different,” and I couldn’t believe Gordon, as a character, deciding to…


  • Mother Panic #5 review

      Yeah… Mother Panic… Uh… Well… You know, Iron Fist debuted on Netflix! Let’s just talk about that instead!   Honestly, I feel as though I could copy and paste most of what wrote in my previous review for this issue. I don’t know what happened to Mother Panic, but it lost its way, and…


  • Batman Beyond #6 review

      In this issue of Batman Beyond, Bruce babysits, Curare slices and dices, and Terry has an identity crisis.   We’ve spent more than enough time returning Batman Beyond to the status quo (aka: Terry McGinnis is Batman, and Bruce Wayne is his mentor). While I won’t highly recommend the first arc, I do think…


  • Suicide Squad #14 review

    Don’t blink! Suicide Squad #14’s “main story” flies by at light-speed, and when you realize you’ve reached the end, you’ll be upset because you’ll want more! Thankfully, the back-up is less of an actual back-up these days, and more of a character-focused aside pertaining to the events of the main story. The question is whether…


  • Batman/TMNT Adventures #5 review

    I'm going to be real here: this is pretty much Fan Service: The Comic Book.  As much as this series has built to a climax, it almost takes a back seat to a near-endless stream of jokes, references, and homages.  In any other comic book this might annoy me, but here?  Batman and the Ninja…


  • Detective Comics #953 review

    Batman's army has been bested by Shiva, and one of his strongest soldiers struggles with the revelation of her connection to the deadly lady. How can Team Bats take down so mighty a foe? Find out in Detective Comics #953. Spoilers follow (but not that Spoiler, she's still on her walkabout) Pretty ordinary Detective Comics #953…


  • Batgirl #9 review

    Oh my. Let’s just get straight to the point. Here are some things I really love in a comic: Who are these people and why do we care? Sarcasm aside, unless Ethan is running some kind of fertility clinic scam and these two characters are going to be swept up in some startled web of…


  • Batman '66 Meets Wonder Woman '77 #3 review

    Is this what Batman and Wonder Woman needed?  To come back to the eras of their shows?  It looks that way, as this series seems to have found more confident fitting now that it's firmly back in the Sixties. With the sojourn to the Forties in the first two installments, Batman '66 Meets Wonder Woman…


  • Teen Titans #6 review

    With Granpappy in the past—at least for now—Damian and friends can turn their attention to other things, like chilling in a giant "T" with windows and other amenities. But evil never naps for long, and as it rubs the sleep from its eyes, an unexpected ally enters the fray. Aqualad rises, in Teen Titans #6!…


  • June 2017 Solicitations

    In June of this year, DC Comics is getting a little… Looney. As in Looney Tunes! Now, I’m not certain I’d say I’m excited about these cross-overs, but I’m definitely amused. Snyder also has an event he’ll be penning this summer. It could be could, and it could be a total mess. We’ll just have…


  • Upcoming Comics: March 22, 2017

    Last week was a stellar week for comics! Practically every issue we covered was outstanding. This week shows a lot of promise as well, and on top of that, we should also get June 2017 solicitations as well! Make sure you keep an eye out for those! Alright, on to business! For a collection of…


  • Snyder, Tynion IV to write "Dark Days" summer event

    We were promised a big summer event, and we sure are getting one.  Details have just been released regarding Scott Snyder's long-gestating project, revealed to be titled Dark Days.  He and Detective Comics scribe James Tynion IV will write Dark Days: The Forge and Dark Days: The Casting, and joining them will be superstar artists…


  • Artist Bernie Wrightson has passed away

    Legendary horror artist Bernie Wrightson has passed away due to complications from brain surgery.  The artist, who is best known for his work in horror comics, has also contributed pencils to various Batman comics over the years.  His most notable Batman work is likely the miniseries Batman: The Cult, in which he collaborated with legendary…


  • Detective Comics Vol. 8: Blood of Heroes review

    This is the first trade of Detective Comics that features Jim Gordon as Bunnyman Batman. If you followed the site during that time, then you know that I had major issue with Gordon as “Batman.” For me, it just didn’t add up for him as a character. That being said, I was curious to see…


  • Steve Trevor is getting his own comic in June, just in time for 'Wonder Woman'

    This June, fans can experience the world of Wonder Woman on more than just Hollywood’s silver screen as DC announces a special one-shot story WONDER WOMAN: STEVE TREVOR #1. This tale from writer Tim Seeley (NIGHTWING, GRAYSON) and artist Christian Duce (DETECTIVE COMICS, BATMAN & ROBIN ETERNAL) introduces a new adventure for the first man…


  • Nightwing #17 review

    It's Nightwing and Robin's European Vacation as Dick and Damian make their way to France in search of Shawn. If you haven't been feeling this title recently, or have even moved away from it altogether, then fear not: the narrative is turning around and coming together. At least, it starts to after a while.  The…


  • Harley Quinn #16 review

    It’s curtains for this netherland storyline, which has been a strange departure. To say so feels like a misnomer for a Harley book--in which everything is always strange all the time, but there’s Harley-strange and then there’s the rest of the world she lives in, and to be honest, when Harley is not the strangest…


  • Super Sons #2 review

    Super Sons accomplishes something that too few comics do these days: it is pure joy.  From beginning to end, this book is an outright blast, and even though it's only in its second issue this might be my favorite book on my slate right now. A lot of what makes this book work is the…


  • Batman #19 review

    In the last issue, King spent a considerable amount of time illustrating the similarities and differences between Bruce and Bane.  This time, there is an entirely different parallel at play, but it's not at all overt like before.  And quite frankly, much stronger in my opinion. In the original "Knightfall" story, Bane invaded Gotham.  He…
