16 on Grayson #16 reviewGrayson #16: "Code Word: Swordfish" Written by Tim Seeley and Tom King Illustrated by Mikel Janín Colored by Jeromy Cox Lettered by Carlos M. Mangual A pulp thriller title. Spectacular chases and stunts in exotic locales. Globe-trotting adventure. Action and gadgets galore. And, err, gratuitous cheesecake. Every one of those elements is present in Grayson…
For some time now I’ve been pretty critical of the art in the Bombshells series, but you have nothing to fear here. The mixed team of Laura Braga, Sandy Jarrell, and Maria-Laura Sanapo (with inks by Juan Albarran) makes this second installment of the “Allies” storyline (Digital Firsts 22, 23, and 24) a nice feast…
This looks like it’s going to be a pretty good week! We’ve got Grayson, the debut of Suicide Squad’s Most Wanted – blah, blah, blah, what’s going on in June? I’m a twenty minute drive from Burbank. I’m going to find my best Batman costume and do my best Batman impression. If my reviews don’t…
Typically I get really excited when DC releases their solicitations – and I did get a little excited this time as well… but if I’m being completely honest, forget April and tell me more about June! It’s like I don’t know how to feel about some of these titles... I’m afraid that if I get…
Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham Written by Mike Mignola and Richard Pace Illustrated by Troy Nixey Inked by Dennis Janke Colored by Dave Stewart Lettered by Dave Oakley What would Batman be like had he been written by H.P. Lovecraft? That is the question that the recently collected miniseries Batman: The Doom That Came to…
2015 may be behind us, but the stories that were released during that year will always be with us! Is that a good thing, or bad thing? I'll be one of the first people to openly say that I wasn't too impressed with DC's offering's for the year, but I don't think I'm alone considering…
Usually we like to hold off and only present officially confirmed news here at Batman News, but I was curious to see what the community thought of all the rumors that are currently flying around. I also notice that some of you were starting to talk about it in the comment sections of the reviews,…
Titans Hunt #4 "Masks" review Written by: Dan Abnett Art by: Paulo Siqueira Colors by: Hi-Fi Cat's TidBits: As our Titans begin to remember things from their past, the nightmare that continues to haunt them is starting to take over their minds. Hawk and Dove are now part of the picture, but they aren't exactly…
The Dark Knight III's Miller-verse vs The Marvel Universe and Star Wars! Who will win this battle royale to take the prize as the number one selling comic of 2015? Well, if you've been watching numbers over the year, it should be pretty obvious. Instead, let's see if DC went down fighting...or just got completely…
First off, what is up with that title? I think they are trying to pay tribute to The Killing Joke, but that doesn't make sense. Sure, the Joker is in this story, but the events of this tale mimic the famous Joker scene from A Death in the Family, not the famous Joker scene from…
Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death #1 review Written by: Amy Chu Art by: Clay Mann Colors by: Ulises Arreola Cat's TidBits: As Dr. Pamela Isley starts working at the Gotham Botanical Gardens, she soon encounters that she needs to learn how to balance from her 'plant' side and 'human' side in order to fit…
My initial knee jerk reaction to this story was one of slight annoyance. Are we seriously going to have Alfred and Damian together and not have them discuss Bruce? Had a Batman-News commenter not filled me in on the behind-the-scenes workings for this particular issue, you'd be reading a mini-rant right about now. It turns…
Year Five isn’t pulling any punches as the collected Digital Firsts No. 3 & 4 will testify. Last we saw, Superman had his hands full with Doomsday, Yellow Lantern Hal was wrassling with Parasite, and Batman was secretly enlisting for his underground Resistance. This go-round we see the return of Wonder Woman, who has been…
The opening page of “Can’t Fight City Hall...or Can You?”shows an awesome retro-style intro in which a giant Joker’s hand grasps Harley, Madame Macabre, Mason, and Poison Ivy, while others fly around a cosmic background, with the panel is flanked by character portraits. If you ever read comics in the olden days or have had…
Secret Six #10 “Watch A Yellow Sun Fade" Written by Gail Simone Art by Dale EagleshamTom Derenick Colors by Jason Wright The magical fallout comes to a close in “Watch A Yellow Sun Fade!” Is this the end of magic? Will Black Alice sacrifice herself for the world? Will other members of the Secret Six…
Bruce and "Joker" share a quiet moment together that bears an offhanded resemblance to some of the other "we're just a couple of guys" conversations they have had together over the decades. It's wonderfully introspective and is by far the main selling point for this particular issue. Meanwhile, Bloom commences the destruction of Gotham and…
Every month I come to this book with some small ever-fading glimmer of hope, but notoriously low expectations, and every time those hopes are dashed and the expectations are met head-on. These last couple of issues, I’ve resorted to a page-by-page blow-by-blow in which I nitpick the comic to death. This month I’m going to…
Batman Arkham Knight: Genesis #6 Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Dexter Soy Colored by Dave McCaig Lettered by Deron Bennett Cover by Stjepan Sejic I find myself in the interesting position of reviewing the sixth installment in a six-part story, without having read the previous five. The disadvantages of this are obvious, but…
So I spoke to soon yesterday when I sent a tweet out saying I’d caught up with everything, because roughly half an hour after that, I started getting phone calls from work… Clearly the lesson of this is that I should be unemployed so I can take care of what’s important (BatmanNews.com)… Ok, I’m joking……
Superman: American Alien #3: "Parrot" Written by Max Landis Illustrated by Joëlle Jones Colored by Rico Renzi Lettered by John Workman Before we jump into this review, let's look at that cover. I like some of the details, like the Batsymbol in the boat's wake, but take a look at the central figure, the primary…
