15 Years of Coverage (2010-2025)

Tony Bedard has done what no previous writer in the New 52 has been able to do—he's written a fun Teen Titans book. No more trying to be cool, no more placing characters we don't care about in dire situations that aren't actually dire—just a funny, happy romp that made me smile the whole time. An end…
I'm kind of in awe at the level of perfection this issue actually displays. Admittedly, it's very sparse in the action category, but that's ok with me. What it lacks in heart-pumping-adrenaline, it's more than made up for with a copious amount of exceptionally well executed character developmental scenes. More so than beating up muggers…
Considering this issue focuses on Lex Luthor, and that we already received quite a few answers concerning him in Action Comics, I felt like this book was going to be a waste of time. I was wrong! Yes, I wish this story would’ve been released prior to Action Comics, but it still works well and…
As much as I enjoyed the previous Batman '66 crossover, I never got the feeling that Solo, Kuryakin, and U.N.C.L.E. were actually a part of that world. There was some fun chemistry between the Dynamic Duo and the agents, and Hugo Strange's involvement with T.H.R.U.S.H. was fairly clever, but besides a throwaway line here or…
Well, I thought we were going to get some information on the new Justice League of America and Super Sons, but it looks like that will have to wait until next month… *womp womp* On a more positive note, we are getting a more realized glimpse of the direction of some books, and while most…
It is HOT in LA today! We’re reaching temperatures over 100 degrees, and I feel like I’m melting! Considering I grew up in Texas, you would think I’m used to this weather, but there is a difference… and that difference is air conditioning. Yes, I do have air conditioning here in LA, but I live…
Batman: The Animated Series accomplished many things. Aside from spinning off several other series to create what is now known as the DC Animated Universe and serving as the introduction to Batman for an entire generation, the series also introduced quite a few ideas and characters that were so well received that they were brought into…
Just weeks into the new Rebirth status quo and DC has already announced its first big Batman crossover: "Night of the Monster Men." The synopsis from DC: Gotham City is the battleground for the first crossover since the beginning of REBIRTH this past June! “Night of the Monster Men” spans the BATMAN, NIGHTWING and DETECTIVE…
I really love this book. New Suicide Squad has been an absolute joy under Tim Seeley and Juan Ferreyra (look at that cover!), and I’m going to hate seeing the team leave after next month’s issue. No, really… it’s going to be so hard to give up another good thing (Midnighter). So for now, I’m…
We have come to the end of Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death and I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I do have a little bit to say about it. Just a tad bit. I'm not sure if I'm the only one that was feeling the same way about this story, but…
I NEED MORE TITANS IN MY LIFE. Yay, so who was excited for Titans: Rebirth? Just me? No? Alrighty then, let's proceed. If you've been following Titans Hunt, then you're basically all caught up for Titans: Rebirth. But if you're like me sometimes and have a crazy, busy life with drama always happening - barely…
As it turns out, there was some shifting with the issues, and we did get the Robin issue this month. So… I have no clue what that means for next month. I’m sure it will be the “Darkseid War” aftermath issue, but I still don’t think that makes much sense considering all of the Justice…
When The Dark Knight Returns was published in 1986, it helped to change the industry almost as much as it changed the title character. It's easy to look back thirty years on and almost take for granted how revolutionary it was, but for better or worse Frank Miller's magnum opus has become a seminal work…
Welcome to the review for Batman#1 by Tom King. (Or, if your keeping track, issue #766 for when this will eventually go back to the original numbers like Detective Comics just did). In the forthcoming series, King has promised to explore whether or not being a "normal" person without superpowers is really enough to save…
I have one major complaint about this issue of Injustice, and it’s a big one: it nearly made me cry. Digital Firsts No. 23 & No. 24 (“Birthday” and “Razor’s Edge”) might be the darkest Bat-centered issues in the whole of the series and anyone out there clinging to any hope of salvaging the Man…
DC announced today that Batman Day will return later this year on September 17th. The event began in 2014 to celebrate Batman's 75th anniversary and has become a yearly tradition. To celebrate, thousands of comic book retailers, bookstores, schools and libraries across the country will hold special events. Stay tuned to Batman News for more details…
I originally had a completely different introduction to this week’s post, but considering the events that took place in Orlando on Saturday night, as well as the threat that was prevented in Los Angeles yesterday, I felt like it would be a little too “oblivious” and inconsiderate not to change it. I’ve acknowledged and discussed…
As I was starting to write this comic book review, I kept thinking how it was a breath of fresh air reading this story from all the other ones that I have been reviewing. I feel like this comic book should be getting more attention, because the artwork is simply outstanding and this a complete…
The fourth volume of Scott Lobdell's New 52 run on Teen Titans is right in character with the volumes that precede it. Whether or not you consider that a good thing will (obviously) depend on how you felt about 1-3. He is joined this time around by an assortment of artists, with Eddy Barrows handling the majority…
I love the idea behind this series and that it's a nod to the fans, but I admit that I'm not 100% convinced it works. As a short-run limited series it might pull off a great story, but here we are three issues in, the real Harley Quinn is still in Harley Sinn's clutches, and…
