15 on Suicide Squad #1 reviewPrior to Suicide Squad’s Rebirth, DC announced that each issue would contain a main story that would take up roughly 12 pages of the issue, followed by a back-up story to finish out the last 8 pages. They’re doing this to ensure Jim Lee is able to meet his deadlines, but I wasn’t too excited…
Ok, first things first, if you haven't already go ahead and watch this, like, fifteen times so we can share in excitement. No rush. I'll wait. While it's unfortunate that we have to wait over two long, grueling months to see West, Ward, and Newmar back in action, thankfully we have this comic to get…
I'm going to warn you right up front: there be spoilers here. To discuss the sheer awesomeness of Superman #5 requires revealing things that many of you may wish to discover for yourselves while reading the book. If you're one of those people, close your browser tab now, and come back later after you've read it…
As the mysterious Kindred begin to take shape, the League struggles to contain the threat from space. Even with the help of a Superman that they do not yet trust, our heroes are stretched to their limits. Will they break—will this three-front war prove more than the Justice League can handle? And perhaps most critically,…
I'll say it right up front: This is the first issue of King's Batman run that I found lacking. There is still plenty of great stuff in here, but I have to recognize the less than stellar moments right alongside the awesome parts. Our story starts off with Alfred donning the Bat-suit in order to…
Remember in The Princess Bride* when the grandson asks if his grandfather's story has any sports in it? "Are you kidding?!" the Grandpa replies. "Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles..." That's what Nightwing feels like: a grand, swashbuckling adventure. There may not be any actual fencing or giants (not yet,…
Sometimes in the past I have criticized a book for not having enough plot, for just being a series of scenes that doesn’t always move things forward in a satisfying way. And sometimes that’s exactly what’s called for. I mean, what else do you do with a zombie apocalypse on Coney Island except indulge in…
In “Surgical Strike” and “Barbarian at the Gate” (Digital Firsts No. 31 & 32), artist Marco Santucci (with colorist Rex Lokus) brings us another issue of almost wall-to-wall combat that never gets boring. After five “Years” of Injustice you would think these battles would just get redundant, but there’s something about watching Batman and his…
There are a lot of really good titles this week, and I’m having a little trouble containing my excitement! Before we get into this week’s releases though, I want to touch on the creative teams behind these books, the work they provide, and why we do what we do here at Batman-News. The amount of…

Miller Cover: David Yardin Batman and Luthor need one crucial element to finish the device that will transport over the heroes from…
Sean Gordon Murphy, of Batman Year One: Two Face & Scare Crow fame, announced some exciting news via Twitter this afternoon! After teasing various Batman themed artwork on social media for weeks, fans assumed the art was for Murphy’s upcoming run on Scott Snyder’s All-Star Batman… until he slyly confirmed that the art was for…
When Darwyn Cooke passed away at the all-too-young age of 53 back in May, he left behind a legacy of great stories and even greater artwork. In the wake of his passing, DC has wisely opted to re-release several of his most beloved stories so fans can experience them anew. While he was best known…

James Tynion IV is a godsend. I can't remember the the last time I enjoyed an arc of anything as much as I've been enjoying his current arc on Detective Comics. Well....that's not true. I can remember, but I'm being melodramatic for the sake of impact. Tynion is really shaking things up for me. Because…
I can usually find something good to say about this title, even at its worst. A few good gags, some lively illustration, an inoffensive story for kids, anything at all that can at least pass for a recommendation. This month, I'm almost grasping at straws. This isn't bad, mind you, but it isn't good either.…
Writing a single character for over fifty issues is no small achievement. In a time where a comic is lucky if it even makes it to fifty issues, seeing a mostly consistent creative time over that time is an even rarer occurrence. From its inception in 2011 up until the recent Rebirth one-shot, Scott Snyder…
After a mock-assassination attempt on the mayor, Jason Todd is now the most famous bad guy in Gotham—and that's saying something! It's all part of the plan, though, and Jason has promised Bruce that the Red Hood will play by the rules and not kill anybody. But how long can he do things Batman's way…
I have a confession… I LOVE watching the summer Olympics! My DVR is working overtime at the moment because I’m recording anything involving swimming, gymnastics, soccer, rugby, judo, and more. And just as I did during world cup, all I can think about is, “What if DC characters were competing?” Can you imagine Bruce and…
Think about all of the comics you've read, and all of the knowledge you've acquired over the days, weeks, months, years, or decades you've been a fan. Think about the characters, events, powers, and personalities you've encountered in the funny pages. Now, think about the most horrifying thing that could possibly happen in comics, the…
It's been years since I first read Stephen King's The Gunslinger, but I'll never forget my sense of wonder at the world it created. It has enough evidence of our own society to suggest a link, and yet the discrepancies present a fascinating mystery about how things got the way they are. Greg Pak's Kingsway West #1 occupies…
