17 on First look at Frank Miller's 'Dark Knight III' minicomicOf all the variant covers and images we've seen so far, the one creator whose work has been absent from the lead up to The Dark Knight III: The Master Race has been the brains behind the whole operation: Frank Miller himself. To remedy that, DC has revealed his cover for the mini-comic that will…
Prose superhero stories have always struck me as odd. On the one hand, comics aren't that far removed from novels and other works of literature that the roots are completely covered, but as a medium in and of themselves they're set apart in many ways. The most obvious is that, while reading is a requirement…
Today is my birthday! I have a Batman cake (seriously). I’ve got my Batman underwear on (I consider them lucky). Batman socks. Batman-News t-shirt. Batman watch. It’s cool and overcast here – which I love (I seriously live in the wrong city as far as my preference concerning weather). And I have no plans except…
Grayson Annual #2: "Just a Guy" Written by Tim Seeley and Tom King Illustrated by Alvaro Martinez Inked by Raul Fernandez Colored by Jeromy Cox Lettered by Carlos M. Mangual Go back far enough in DC's publishing history and you'll come upon a time that was much more innocent and simpler in its storytelling. It was…
New Suicide Squad Annual #1 “Monsters” Written by Sean Ryan Art by Philipe Briones Colors by Blond This is it… the final issue of the Monsters arc. You all know I haven’t been a fan of Sean Ryan, but this has definitely been his best arc. I’m still not going to bring myself to say…
Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok pull us back into their Multiverse spanning epic with Justice League #44. A battle of mammoth proportions wages between two of the most powerful entities in the universe with Earth serving as the battleground. Right smack in the middle of the two evil armies is none other than the Justice League,…
DC Comics have released the first panel from the final installment of Frank Miller's Dark Knight series. It may not seem like much, but it's always neat seeing an artistic work in progress. When it's work from the likes of Andy Kubert and Klaus Janson (an underrated and under-appreciated inker whose contribution to The Dark…
Batman: Arkham Knight Annual #1: "Fear City" Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Stephen Segovia Inked by Art Thibert Colored by Kelsey Lettered by Deron Bennett "There are no heroes and there are no villains. There are just opposing points of view." So says Jason Todd, alias Arkham Knight, to the Scarecrow. Which, coincidentally,…
Over the last 6 months, the landscape of the Batverse has changed dramatically. While some of the new status quo was eagerly spelled out for us, other plot points were left frustratingly vague. Fortunately, this issue finally takes the time to sit us down and give us some kind of answers to questions I thought…
Batman Day was this past Saturday! I hope everybody did something Batman related! There was a pretty awesome digital comics sale, so I took advantage of it to snag a few things I’d never read before. Overall, my Saturday was pretty damn good! The Feast of San Gennaro was this weekend in LA, so I…
The last few months of Justice League 3001 have felt like a learning experience for both the readers and the creative team. Writers and editors must create a story that will most likely never be told, and have the skill and tact to make what comes out both believable and entertaining. Readers, meanwhile, have been…
Grayson #12: “A Fine Performance" Written by Tom King and Tim Seeley Illustrated by Mikel Janín Inked by Mikel Janín, Hugo Petrus and Juan Castro Colored by Jeromy Cox Lettered by Carlos M. Mangual Every month, it seems that Grayson heads in a new direction. Coming out of Convergence a few months ago, Dick had…
![Dave Gibbons' "Dark Knight III" variant cover revealed [update: even more!]](https://i0.wp.com/archive.batmannews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/DAVE-GIBBONS-color-LO_560439b78214a6.66655666.webp?resize=225%2C127&ssl=1)
One image might not typically warrant its own post, but this one's pretty big: Dave Gibbons, industry legend and artist of Watchmen, "For the Man Who Has Everything," and countless other titles has drawn a variant cover for The Dark Knight III: The Master Race. The image is, of course, an homage to this iconic…
Last month I quibbled that Harley and Power Girl were not working together, and that Peej was doing all the heavy lifting, so I was especially pleased to see more balance in this month’s issue, “Purity”. It’s going to take more than Power Girl’s brawn to subdue the brainwashed Vartox and return him to his…
We are only 4 issues into We are Robin, and the team is already "taking a break" from the main story. Add some seriously questionable artwork and a guest appearance to drive waning interest in the title, and I'm really starting to worry about the future of this book. One of the things that this…
I've "been trying really hard to highlight the positives that are in this book”. Truer words from Bat Reviewer Josh were never spoken as I really struggled with this issue. The fact is, I just don’t enjoy much about this book and would have a hard time recommending it even to its intended audience. It’s…
I am genuinely stunned by what just happened in this book. Literally, my jaw dropped as I turned the pages toward the climax. That look on Jim’s face at the end: confused, horrified, destroyed: that was me. Ray Fawkes has delivered a bona fide holocaust masquerading as a run-of-the-mill police procedural. Consider me standing and…
Batman ’66 #27: “Bane Enters the Ring/Batman Does His Thing” Written by Jeff Parker Illustrated and Colored by Scott Kowalchuk Lettered by Wes Abbott Jeff Parker is on a roll introducing previously unused characters into the Batman '66 universe. Of the nine issues published this year, five of them have either retooled a previously seen villain or…
Fall TV returns this week, and I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m excited! If I start taking random sick days from work, it’s just so I can plow through my DVR. I’m excited for the return of Arrow, The Flash, and Agents of Shield… as well as guilty pleasures like The…
The numbers for August were released about a week ago, but I was holding off on posting this so that I could give Josh the honor/sadness of announcing the upcoming cancellations. Now that the cat is out of the bag, I can present to you the numbers that set these events in motion. Below you…
