17 on Upcoming Comics: July 27, 2016I’m back from SDCC! I originally planned on writing this post on the train back to Los Angeles, but the moment I got on the train, I was informed that their wifi wasn’t working. I’d also made a promise to my other half that I wasn’t going to come home and just stick my head…
What follows is a complete transcription of the interview I had with Tom King on Friday July 22nd at the 2016 San Diego Comic Convention. Tom King was a delight to speak with. Funny, sincere, and exuberant. Before I even had a chance to speak, the man thanked ME for interviewing HIM. It usually goes…
Maybe I'm just a grouch and wasn't in the right mood, but this didn't do much for me. The pieces to make up a good mystery/adventure book are all there, from the lovable misfits to the spooky circumstances surrounding a mysterious cabin, it's just that the finished product is left lacking. Brandon gave the first…
All earthly things--good or bad--must come to an end, and Scott Lobdell's run on Teen Titans is no exception. In many cases, the end is a good thing: threads are tied up, points are made, and characters find resolution as the looming finish forces a writer to find focus. The Trial of Kid Flash is Lobdell's final…
Not only will there be a prequel comic leading to 2017's Injustice 2 video game, but fan-favorite writer Tom Taylor is confirmed to return to the world he helped craft as he resumes scripting duties. From the DC press release: DC Entertainment announced today during the Injustice 2 panel at Comic-Con International: San Diego that…
I have to apologize because I’m late getting this posted. I had a few things pop up on me right before Comic Con, and I didn’t get a chance to sit down and pull this together. That being said, Comic Con is in full swing, and I’m in the process of preparing a full recap…
Fresh off the excellent crossover with everyone's half-shell heroes, Batman is once again teaming up with the Ninja Turtles. This time, though, it's the animated Batman from the DC Animated Universe joining forces with the animated counterparts of the Turtles. Plot details for the appropriately titled Batman/TMNT Adventures are scarce at this time, with Nerdist…
WOAH! Batgirl and the Birds of Prey: Rebirth is finally here and I am so excited to be reviewing this comic book for you guys. These gals have always been personal favorites of mine and let me just be the first one to admit, that this comic book needs to be on your list to read!…
We all know how I feel about Sean Ryan as a writer, so this might surprise some of you when I say that this issue wasn’t that bad. Trust me, I’m a little shocked myself. If you’re familiar with my reviews of New Suicide Squad during Ryan’s run, then you’ll probably remember that one of…
Four weeks in and pieces are still falling into place, with more connections between the titular crimefighters being revealed while their true for remains hidden. Up to this point I've been enjoying this crossover, and while it's still quite enjoyable, this installment feels like filler. The reason for that may very well be that it's a…
After the emotional events of two weeks ago, we take a break from the tragedy of the Bat Family for a Flash-centric issue in which we explore Barry Allen’s conflict with being part of Superman’s imperial Regime. Last we saw of the Flash, he rescued Batman from being arrested (even though he had pulverized Superman…
After a month and a half of Rebirth, we finally get our first installment of the brand-new Justice League! Full of action, heroes, and creepy enemies, Justice League #1 will set the course for the foreseeable future of everyone's favorite super-team. For that reason alone it's worth checking out. There's a lot happening Our story…
This week's issue of Batman invites you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the origin story of Hank and Claire Clover. Or as we've come to know them, Gotham and Gotham Girl (or G&GG if you're writing an article). The story starts off with a couple and their young son walking down the street and…
Oh yeah! SDCC is this week, and I’m counting down every day until I’m in San Diego, and basking in complete nerd ecstasy!!! As I said last week, if you want some play by plays of what’s going down at SDCC, make sure you follow Andrew, Brandon, and I on Twitter! We’ll make sure any…
Who is Killer Croc? What motivates him? Is he just a primal beast, or is there more to one of Batman's strongest, most brutal foes than meets the eye? With Rebirth recently begun and new creative teams plotting out the next few months and years in Gotham, now is the perfect time to get to know…
Welcome back to another edition of Break from the Bat! We're a month into Rebirth, and I don't know about the rest of you, but I am digging it! We've got solid-to-excellent books across the line now, and it's been a pleasure to see the market rewarding DC for its creative successes. Let's hop to…
Looking at the cover of this issue and considering the content of the previous one (“Love Stories”), you might be thinking to yourself: what is this mush? This time around Marguerite Bennett brings us three “Ghost Stories” (from Digital Firsts 43, 44, and 45) featuring not only Mera and Arthur, but a heavy focus on…
Absolutely fantastic! Here we are at part three of "Rise of the Batmen", and the arc hasn't had a dud issue yet. So far, this has been the most downright enjoyable, engaging, well written, and beautifully rendered storyline to come out of Detective Comics in over a year. I can't say enough good things about…
To say nothing of the quality of the books, most of DC's recent Rebirth titles have been continuations of established events rather than true shake-ups of the status quo. Sure, there are some titles like Green Arrow that have brought back integral elements that had long been absent (of course I'm talking about the goatee);…
It’s that time again! Each week you’ve been voting on your favorite cover in our Upcoming Comics post, and now we’re bringing those winners together into one poll to decide which comics will compete in our Best Cover of 2016 cover poll at the end of the year. I guess you can essentially look at…
