21 on Harley Quinn Road Trip Special #1 reviewThe formula for these Harley Quinn specials has been pretty predictable so far: you take a double issue (roughly), a cadre of very disparate artists (who are typically not regular artist Chad Hardin), a script from Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti that usually involves a variety of hallucinations or fantasy sequences (to help bridge the…
This morning, DC Comic contacted Batman News wondering if we'd like the first shot at the reveal for Mikel Janin's variant cover for the upcoming weekly series Batman and Robin Eternal-- you better believe we jumped at the chance! Let us know what you think about the new cover and what you hope to see…
We have a long weekend here in the states due to Labor Day, so I’ve been trying to do as little as possible and get some rest. This can also be interpreted as, “I’ve been taking advantage of this free time to read a ton of books.” It’s been a nice break from the day…
We’re about halfway done with the first arc of Batman Beyond, which promises to end the story which started last year in Future’s End #0, and I’ve been decidedly split on how I feel about the direction of this series. Dan Jurgen’s story has culminated in the siege of Neo-Gotham by the cyborg forces of…
Batman: Arkham Knight #8: “Who Wants to Kill a Billionaire?/Suicide Blues” Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Ig Guara and Viktor Bogdanovic Inked by Juan Ferreira and Richard Friend Colored by Andrew Dalhouse and John Rauch Lettered by Travis Lanham I'm not going to lie: I think a bit of Arkham Knight fatigue is…
Welcome to another thrilling episode of "Brandon reviews Bat-mite". When we last saw our hero, he was engaged in grievous combat with that master of paralysis, Gridlock! Robin came to Bat-Mite's rescue, but at the detriment of allowing that cunning culprit of chronology to make his daring escape. And so we join our hero as…
Midnighter #4 Written by Steve Orlando Art by Stephen Mooney Colors by Romulo Fajaroo Jr Steve Orlando, you sly devil you… Midnighter... and Dick Grayson... In towels at a sauna? Women and gay men across the world shed a tear of joy with this one. Alright, if I said I didn’t enjoy that, I’d be…
The first of what is sure to be many variant covers for the upcoming finale of Frank Miller's Batman epic has been revealed. The retail-exclusive image, drawn by Dave Johnson and based on a Jim Lee sketch, depicts Batman over the lifeless body of the Joker, recalling the villain's final bow in The Dark Knight Returns.…
Phoning-it-in is a term in the acting business that describes a performance in which the actors don't give it their all but still complete their required part. Personally, I feel like Manapul and Buccellato were blindsided by this whole robobat thing. With that in mind, I don't truly blame them for the condition of this final arc. …
The “Enlisted” introduction continues in this second installment of DC Comics Bombshells and if you’re picking this up in print instead of keeping up with the Digital Firsts, you’re in for some surprises: both good and bad. Let’s get the unpleasant surprise out of the way first: this book is handled by not two, but…
Remember when Injustice: Gods Among Us was basically a book about Superman against Batman and the two teams (with a few rogue exceptions) were easily discerned based on who approved of Superman’s death-dealing blow to Joker after he accidentally killed Lois? Since the advent of Year Four, the lines have gotten increasingly blurry. Not only…
We’re already heading into September? Yowza! You know what that means… School is back in session (unless you attend Gotham Academy, which apparently runs year round… Hopefully those kids will get a summer break next year.)! The lazy summer days spent at the lake with Tim, Stephanie, Harper, Damian, and the entire We Are Robin…
Let me illustrate, for like the third time this month, that I hate time-skips. Between Earth 2: Society and Justice League 3001, pretty much half of the books I review are going through some kind of time-jump vortex. I imagine there’s entire warehouses filled with the issues that were supposed to exist and offer some…
Arkham Knight: Genesis #1 Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Alisson Borges Colored by Dave McCaig Lettered by Deron Bennett Go big or go home, right? The Arkham Knight saga continues in this new six-issue miniseries, with the ever reliable Peter Tomasi maintaining scripting duties while working with the new art team of Alisson…
Justice League: Gods and Monsters #3: "Genesis" Story by J. M. DeMatteis and Bruce Timm Written by J. M. DeMatteis Illustrated by Thony Silas Colored by Tony Aviña Lettered by Saida Temofonte Or, "Where Things Get Absolutely Crazy-Bonkers." If last week was mostly action, this week is even more so, as everything gets ramped up…
Justice League of America #3 Written by Bryan Hitch Art by Bryan Hitch Inks by Daniel Henriques Colors by Alex Sinclair Justice League of America is in its third issue, and all I can say is that Bryan Hitch is getting it right! DC currently has two Justice League books in rotation that involve the…
There can never be any doubt that Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti are going to bring the great big bloated crazy each and every month with Harley Quinn. This month’s “Ship of Fools” is no exception. Pair the writers’ zaniness with Chad Hardin’s art chops and this book can’t fail to please. Unless you think…
Grayson #11: "Nemesis Part 3" Written by Tom King and Tim Seeley Illustrated by Mikel Janín Colored by Jeromy Cox Lettered by Carlos M. Mangual Grayson oozes style, much like its leading man. Each page is dripping with intrigue, the tension is always high, and each page flies by until you get to the resolution…
Defusing bombs, containing homeless riots, meeting the new Batman, and discovering the true identity of The Nest. This issue has a little bit of something for everyone, but despite so many crisscrossing narratives, it still manages to tell a cohesive story that delivers plenty of drama and tension. While this issue was solid, it bothers…
For a moment there, I thought it was going to be a week full of crazed man-hungry tigers (see Batgirl No. 43) as this installment, “The Jungle”, sports the image of a tiger among the the Midnight Shift team members in the issue opener. The tiger here is more metaphoric even though it’s literally present…
