  • Teen Titans #14 review

    Teen Titans #14 "Aftermath" Written by Scott Lobdell and Will Pfeifer Pencils by Noel Rodriguez Colors by Tony Avina We’re doing a little catching up at the moment, so I’m covering Teen Titans #14 & 15 for now. I’m honestly not in the mood to waste time, so let’s get to it… This book is…


  • Gotham by Midnight #12 review

    When your biggest disappointment with a comic is that it just didn’t have another 100 pages in the issue or the lick and a prayer of some hope of continuing the series, suffice it to say you’ve enjoyed your reading experience. Gotham by Midnight comes to its cataclysmic finale at the hands of writer Ray…


  • Batman '66 Meets the Man From U.N.C.L.E. #1 review

    Batman '66 Meets the Man From U.N.C.L.E. #1: "The Batman Affair: Deathtraps and Lairs/A Spy For a Spy" Written by Jeff Parker Illustrated by David Hahn Inked by Karl Kesel Colored by MadPencil Lettered by Wes Abbott Alright, confession time: for the longest time, I thought The Man From U.N.C.L.E. was about an alien or something.…


  • Batman: Arkham Knight #12 review

    Batman: Arkham Knight #12: “Scare Tactics/Epilogue” Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Ig Guara and Viktor Bogdanovic Inked by Julio Ferreira and Richard Friend Colored by Andrew Dalhouse and John Rauch Lettered by Deron Bennett It has to be a tricky business, writing a book like this.  As a prequel/lead-in to an existing/forthcoming property,…


  • Batman/Superman #27 review

    Batman/Superman #27: "Trust" Written by Greg Pak Illustrated by Cliff Richards & Jack Herbert Colored by Beth Sotelo & Wil Quintana Lettered by Rob Leigh Change is a constant. Superman is de-powered. Jim Gordon is Batman. Jason Todd sucks. Ok, that last one is also a constant, but two out of three isn't bad. For…


  • Upcoming Comics: December 23, 2015

    I know I’ve said this a few times already this year… but where has the year gone? Christmas is Friday. New Year’s Day is next Friday! And then it’s 2016!... Holy Bat-Cow! This weekend I’m going to post the Q-4 Cover poll, so be on the lookout for that once all of our reviews have…


  • Marvel pays tribute to The Dark Knight Returns with Old Man Logan #1 cover

    It looks like the folks over at Marvel are big fans of DC Comics, specifically Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns". A variant cover for the upcoming Wolverine book "Old Man Logan #1" clearly pays tribute to the classic Batman story. As the saying goes... imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. OLD MAN LOGAN…


  • March 2016 Solicitations

    DC recently announced its solicitations for March of 2016. There aren’t any major callouts, but I feel like DC is holding back some information as they still haven’t posted the titles in the March section of their main Comics page (which also means the high resolution images of the covers aren't posted either, so you'll…


  • Batman and Robin Eternal #11 review

    Cassandra Cain's origin story revealed!  (Do you need another reason to pick this up?) Typically, Eternal tries to squeeze in a main story along with one or two other quick little check-ins.  On this particular outing, the entire book was pretty much dedicated to Cassandra, and I found that very fitting.  I think the main…


  • The Batman Adventures, Vol. 2 review

    The Batman Adventures, Vol. 2 Written by Kelley Puckett Illustrated by Mike Parobeck Inked by Rick Burchett Colored by Rick Taylor Lettered by Tim Harkins Batman: The Animated Series was one of the most influential television series of all time, spinning off into a half-dozen other shows, introducing characters that made their way into the…


  • Secret Six #9 review

    Secret Six #9 "The White Gate, The Black Sun" Written by Gail Simone Art by Tom Derenick Colors by Jason Wright The wonderful weirdness of Secret Six continues this month full of the quirkiness we’ve come to love! Thankfully, my concerns and reservations pertaining to the narrative of this book have practically vanished. Simone and…


  • Batgirl #46 review

    The Batgirl team continues to give us more of what someone wants (apparently a lot of someones since the book sells). Unfortunately I’m not one of those someones, but every month I try to find things to say about this book that are positive given its focus on what appears to be a very specific…


  • Justice League #46 review

    Justice League #46 "Darkseid War: After Death” Written by Geoff Johns Art by Francis Manapul Colors by Francis Manapul After a month delay, we’re finally getting a new issue of Justice League. Thank God all of those one-shots fell in between issue 45 and 46, because I feel like I would have had a conniption…


  • We are Robin #7 review

    If you're an action junkie, you need to get in here right now!  This was definitely one of the most impressive escapes I have seen in some time.  Couple that with humor and well thought out fight choreography, and this issue has "win" written all over it.  But don't worry, if you like your stuff…


  • Arkham Knight: Genesis #5 review

    Arkham Knight: Genesis #5 Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Dexter Soy Colored by Dave McCaig Lettered by Deron Bennett Rest in piece, pizza rat.  We hardly knew ye. That is on the very first page of this, the penultimate installment of Genesis, and if you haven't been paying attention for the past few…


  • Harley Quinn #23 review

    “Kingpin Queen” puts Harley up against Zena Bendemova as promised last go-round, but the real action takes place once Harley sets out to rescue Mason Macabre. First, however, I need to prop this soapbox here because I have something I’ve been wanting to say about the relationship between comic books, the women who read them,…


  • Batman Europa #2 review

    Batman and Joker travel across countries (this time it’s “Prague”) in search of a cure for a deadly virus that threatens to take them both out. That’s the simple premise of this four-part untraditional team-up between most everyone’s favorite arch-enemies. On the downside, that appears to be the whole gist of this book: Batman and…


  • Batman '66 #30 review

    Batman '66 #30: "Main Title" Written by Lee Allred Illustrated by Michael Allred Colored by Laura Allred Lettered by Wes Abbott Even starting on the cover, I could do nothing during this review but list off all of the gags, in jokes, and cameos that litter this issue and surpass the necessary word count by a…


  • Upcoming Comics: December 16, 2015

    I’m going to keep the intro short and sweet this week because March 2016 Solicitations have been released, and I want to pull that together! But before we get started with this week’s releases, I wanted to remind everyone that we are currently accepting entries for reserve reviewers! If you’re interested and haven’t submitted anything,…
