10 on Suicide Squad #2 reviewAh! Praise baby Jesus! This is much better than issue #1! If you remember, I had some unkind words for the previous issue because nothing happened. We had twelve pages of a story, and barely got a set-up, so I grew concerned that there would hardly be any plot progression with each issue moving forward.…
This review will contain major spoilers. If you haven't read it yet, it's worth every penny. Go read it, then come on back and read the review. After lots of Internet speculation, and issues of buildup, we finally learn the fate of Tim Drake. When the smoke clears, the team is left without their brightest…
It’s a new month, and a new issue! Oracle is still operating in Gotham, and Batgirl isn’t going to allow it. Considering how personal this mission is for Barbara, she’s enlisted Black Canary to help track down Oracle, which leads them right into the path of Huntress - who happens to be on her own…
Who knew I'd be this happy to get back to school? Granted, Gotham Academy hasn't been out that long, with an annual released just a few weeks ago and a... less than stellar crossover between the Detective Club and the Lumberjanes currently being published, but this feels like a return to form for the little…
This review contains major spoilers for Detective Comics #940, also released this week. You've been warned. Tim Drake is dead—or so believe the Teen Titans and any other folks connected with Red Robin. Devastated, his now-leaderless teammates take turns remembering him. And as expected, a colleague waits in the wings, apparently…
Trains! Helicopters! Deceptively handsome clones! Red Hood and the Outlaws #2 has all of that PLUS an enormous axe that comes to its owner when summoned, even if said owner is, by all accounts, unworthy. Take that, Mjölnir. Strangers on a train In this month's adventure, Jason and Artemis have the fight promised at the…
We're one month in with 288 miles to go, and I can confidently say that All-Star Batman is picking up steam. Last month's issue left me underwhelmed, as I found it to be a great concept that was dragged down by pacing issues and some questionable storytelling. Some of those issues remain, but by and…
We have an epic week ahead of us! First, there are quite a few books we’ll be covering this Wednesday, and I’m pretty excited to read most of them! Mostly, I can’t wait to see what happens in Detective Comics! I’m crossing my fingers and holding my breath to see what happens to Tim. After…
Agent 37 returns for his third act as an agent of Spyral in Grayson Vol. 3: Nemesis. Collecting the "DC You" sneak preview, issues nine through twelve of the series proper, and Grayson Annual #2, Nemesis contains what may be the best singular run of issues over the course of the series. There's certainly a…
Supergirl makes her official Rebirth debut this week in one of the most distinct, delightful books to come out of DC's revamped line. Steve Orlando's thorough characterization and Brian Ching's striking aesthetic give Supergirl a strong start and leave me hungry for the next installment. Rebirth is a fresh start for creators, too. It's easy to spot the…
Forget about Gotham Girl, this issue was all about the villain cameos!....or at least that is the way I saw it. Going into this story, I had a preconceived notion of what I was in store for, but King completely blindsided me. And in actuality, that is something that has happened in every single Tom…
The current run of Batman Beyond comes to a close with “Wired for Death: Epilogue.” Up to this point, Jurgens and Chang have delivered an incredibly satisfying story, and I'm honestly a little sad to see this book transition because I’ve been enjoying it so much. Tim Drake is currently operating as Batman following the…
When we last looked in on the League, the Kindred were standing tall in Canada. Meanwhile, the rookie Lanterns had stumbled upon a fractured planet, and Superman took a journey to (near) the center of the earth in hopes of taking out the seismic doodads rumbling the planet. Still too much know-and-tell This time around,…
This zombie apocalypse story arc concludes in its third issue “Goin’ for Takeout”. But as is always the case with Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti crafting the wacky world of Harley, there’s a lot more going on here than merely wrapping up the goofy tale of space-delinquent-turned-hotdog-fodder resulting in a plague of Coney Island zombies.…
The "Better Than Batman" arc has been one of the most exciting, consistently entertaining stories coming from of DC Comics in the past several months. I've used the word "swashbuckling" to describe it a few times, and I still feel that's accurate: it's a grand adventure, serialized entertainment that hearkens back to the Silver Age…
Digital Firsts No. 33 & 34, “The Smoking Gun” and “Invisible Truths” have Batman putting his plan to expose the worst of Superman’s disregard for human life and justice is the focus of this issue in which Superman is still largely incapacitated from the synthetic kryptonite blow he took from a now very dead Katar…
There have been some nice announcements from DC within the past week! In case you missed it, DC will release a Justice League vs Suicide Squad mini-series event throughout December and January. And if that weren’t exciting enough, we also found out that this event will lead into… Justice League of America! You all know…
Now all but defunct, DC's Elseworlds imprint was a line of out of continuity stories that allowed creators to try some different and, occasionally, truly bizarre things with established characters. Beginning with 1989's excellent Batman: Gotham by Gaslight, which is sadly missing in this collection, the line ran for the better part of a decade…
School is in session, so you know what that means… Homework. But before you moan and groan, you might actually enjoy our version of homework over here at Batman News. So what is this weekend’s homework assignment? Check out this awesome preview of Gotham Academy: Second Semester #1! GOTHAM ACADEMY: SECOND SEMESTER #1 Written by BRENDEN FLETCHER,…
I appreciate the advice, Viceroy, I do. And I hope you can appreciate that I reject your distinction. That somehow they're savage and you're not or we're not. I've been a Lantern for years, served with every race and species. Everyone is savage. Everyone is civilized. We're all the same. In the end. I'm not…
