  • Black Canary #5 review

    Things jump up to the next level for the notorious band named Black Canary as they continue rambunctious tour across the country. With tar aliens, government agencies, mysterious ninjas, scorned lead singers, and rabid fans causing hell for the band, any moment of rest and relaxation is welcomed by them with open arms. However, wherever…


  • Teen Titans #12 review

    Writer Will Pfeifer teams up with Scott Lobdell to bring a powerful issue that has the Titans facing with their inner demons. The race against time to bring in wanted metahuman, Superboy, comes to a head as the teens confront their worst fears and feelings as they try to get to the bottom of this…


  • Back Issue Review: The Batman Adventures #1

    The Batman Adventures #1: "Penguin's Big Score" Written by Kelley Puckett Illustrated by Ty Templeton Inked by Rick Burchett Colored by Rick Taylor Lettered by Tim Harkins Free stuff is always great.  You know what's even better than that, though?  Free stuff that's actually good.  Right now, Comixology has the first issue of 1992's The…


  • Batman and Robin Eternal #4 review

    Grayson takes on axe-wielding mind-controlled freaks with the help of We are Robin and Batgirl.  That pretty much sums up this whole issue.  While I know that might sound exciting and fun,  it's actually a lot more mediocre and unnecessary than you'd expect. The story is basically just one long fight scene, but not very…


  • Grayson #13 review

    Grayson #13: “A Ghost From the Tomb” Written by Tim Seeley and Tom King Illustrated by Mikel Janín Inked by Hugo Petrus Colored by Jeromy Cox Lettered by Carlos M. Mangual Put this smooth jam on to set the mood.  It will make sense later, I promise. For the past month or so, I've been…


  • Titans Hunt #1 review

    Titans Hunt #1 “The Brave and the Bold” Written by Dan Abnett Art by Paulo Siqueira and Geraldo Borges Colors by Hi-Fi So this is the second book I’m covering this week that is better than the “main” title that features some of these characters. This week’s Deathstroke featured the Suicide Squad, and made Sean…


  • Deathstroke #11 review

    Deathstroke #11 “Assault on the Wall” Written by Tony Daniel and James Bonny Art by Tyler Kirkham Colors by Arif Prianto Our favorite mercenary is going after the Suicide Squad, and because of that, we’re covering Deathstroke this month! Now, I read this book each month, and I’ve mostly enjoyed it. There are times that…


  • Red Hood / Arsenal #5 review

    Red Hood/ Arsenal #5 “Gotham Born” Written by Scott Lobdell Art by Denis Medri Colors by Blond I’m doing a little catch-up on some reviews that were missed, and this just happens to be one of those lucky titles… Let’s go ahead and just get this out there. I’ve been very open about how I…


  • We are Robin #5 review

    This is easily the best issue of We are Robin to date.  While not heavy on action, the issue boasts a substantial amount of introspection and plenty of motivational disclosure on our group of "would be heroes".  We also get our first real look at the Robins' nemesis, along with an appearance of the Nest,…


  • New Suicide Squad #13 review

    New Suicide Squad #13 “Freedom” Written by Sean Ryan Art by Philipe Briones Colors by Blond Sean Ryan is back with a new arc for New Suicide Squad, and considering his last arc “Monsters” raised the bar for him, I’m hoping he can do that again. He doesn’t waste any time with this story, throwing…


  • Gotham by Midnight #10

    Ironically titled “Nothing Will Stop Us”, Gotham by Midnight No. 10 picks up where we left off: Jim Corrigan covered in gore and his world collapsing around him. Equally, it meets the bar set in the previous issue with a story that manages to further the plot and character development despite the majority of it…


  • Batgirl #45 review

    Welcome to a new nadir from the Batgirl team: a superhero book without any real superheroics that features a title character who is so insufferable you'd think she was the neurotic bride being married. “Dearly Beloved” gives us the conversation we should have had in the last issue of Grayson--but couldn’t because, you know, Spyral…


  • Batman '66 #28 review

    Batman ’66 #28: “Scarecrow Comes To Town/Hunt the Croc Down” Written by Jeff Parker Illustrated by Lukas Ketner and Dean Haspiel Colored by Kelly Fitzpatrick and Allen Passalaqua Lettered by Wes Abbott With only two months to go before we reach the sad conclusion of this series, Jeff Parker is taking one last chance to…


  • Upcoming Comics: October 28, 2015

    Hello all! The time has come for me to deliver bad news yet again… Our little Snyder, Sean, has decided to step down from his duties here at Batman-News.com. We’re sad to see him go, and he’ll definitely be missed. Make sure you give him a proper send-off in the comments section. We all do…


  • January 2016 Solicitations

    I officially start my vacation today, and I couldn’t be happier!!! Aside from my reviews, I’m going to spend the week working on some writing projects. I have some scripts and spec-scripts for comics that I’ve written, and I’m going to pass them off to a friend that’s an artist… So hopefully within a month…


  • Arkham Knight: Genesis #3 review

    Arkham Knight: Genesis #3 Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Dexter Soy Colored by Dave McCaig Lettered by Deron Bennet That right there, guys.  It would be nice if they swapped the names or replaced "with" with "and," but hey, baby steps. Put bluntly, not much happens this issue. The bulk of the twenty…


  • Justice League #45 review

    This issue serves as an epilogue to the Darkseid War, but oh man does it kick off an interesting set of events. I was genuinely curious as to what would happen and what Darkseid's death meant in the world. Turns out that this wasn't a simple winner/loser battle. There's been a major shift in the status…


  • Secret Six #7 review

    Secret Six #7 "There's Something at the Door, Darling" Written by Gail Simone Art by Dale Eaglesham and Tom Derenick Colors by Jason Wright Now this is what I'm talking about! Secret Six has been getting under my skin lately due to its inconsistency. If I were to say that the plot of the first…


  • Gotham Academy #11 review

    Does everyone have their parental permission slips signed?  Good, because we are off to Gotham City to have a field trip adventure that only the cast of Gotham Academy could deliver! Independence!  For some kids, field trips were their first experience in controlled freedom.  We all ventured out into the real world with our parents,…


  • Batman and Robin Eternal #3 review

    The Batcave, The BatFamily, and even Bruce Wayne.  It's like a family reunion in here, but actually fun! The gang is all here!  I really liked how much of the team was represented in this story.  At times, it got a little crowded, as if Seeley wanted to give each of them a little page…
