4 on Justice League United #12 reviewThe honorary members of the Justice League continue their strange and bizarre mission that was fittingly assigned to them by Alanna Strange. Trying to take the fight directly to the source, they realized they were getting a little more than they bargained for as their threat quickly turned the tables on them. With their backs…
Catwoman #43 “Them That Bear It” Written by Genevieve Valentine Art by David Messina Colors by Lee Loughridge Well… you know what they say… “Ask and ye shall receive.” I hoped Valentine would let loose a little, and in this issue, she didn’t’ disappoint. As I’ve mentioned numerous times in my reviews of Catwoman, Valentine…
What does it mean to be Batman? Is Batman a job or a costume? Is he a symbol or beacon? Does he stand for justice or vengeance? Is he a mask or the reality? This is Batman. To me, Batman has always been about a person who put aside himself in order to make…
This issue has everything you've come to expect from Gotham Academy: creepy locations, Maps being Maps, getting one question answered only to have it be replaced by three new ones, and quotes and references galore! (Can you hear the "but" coming?) While all this was wonderful...I couldn't help but feel that the story was overly…
I'll let this one mostly speak for itself. Today, Wednesday 8/12, exclusively on Readdcentertainment.com and Comixology.com, marks the launch of DC Entertainment’s FIRST EVER digital comic bundles. DC Entertainment is bundling together its dynamic digital titles, allowing subscribers to buy in bulk for up to 27% off of the original cost! Launching with 10 discounted…
For this, my 100th review for Batman-News.com, I am especially pleased to be bringing you a new No. 1 from a series that I’m personally excited about. DC Comics Bombshells has a freshness factor that feels lacking in the DCU right now. It’s a book about female characters in an alternate history context that makes…
Justice League: Gods and Monsters #1: "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 Before jumping into the review of the book, here's a mini primer of sorts for the Wonder Woman and Superman installments. Wonder Woman:…
Sheesh, week two is a full week! I know I say this each month, it’s just that I’m still trying to get used to the new release dates for each title. We have a whopping eleven books that we’re covering this week, and that doesn’t include Harley Quinn which has been delayed! Thankfully, there’s a…
Batman Special #1: "The Player on the Other Side" Written by Mike W. Barr Illustrated by Michael Golden Inked by Mike DeCarlo Colored by Adrienne Roy As part of their "Gotham's Finest" sale on comics featuring Jim Gordon, Comixology has marked down quite a few notable issues that are worthy of attention. There's Year One,…
Two months ago, the “definitive continuity” of the DC Universe was shifted on its end with the disastrous results of Future’s End and Tim Drake’s transportation to a future ruled by the sentient robot Brother Eye. Dan Jurgens’ story has ranged from Neo-Gotham to the ruins of a prisoner camp known as The Lodge. Last issue, Max…
Last issue, the world of the JL3K leapt forward months into the future. I wasn’t sure how Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis would handle the jump, but the flow has not been too terribly interrupted. Fans ofJustice League 3000 will certainly be able to catch up with everything that’s been going on the last two months,…
Midnighter #3 Written by Steve Orlando Pencils by ACO Inks by ACO and Hugo Petrus Colors by Romulo Fajaroo Jr Oh Midnighter, you psychotic, yet soft-hearted bastard... I know you're completely insane, but I think I love you... Ok, ok, I'm kidding... Kind of... No, seriously, I'm so glad I’ve been introduced to this character.…
This issue started off with a sense of urgency and intensity that made me think I was in for a real ride! Then I flipped the page and my willing suspension of disbelief was shattered.... The cliffhanger from last issue was Gordon getting out of the Batsuit to engage his 3 assailants head on. As…
Damian, comic related references, and insults lobbed at the selfie generation. Ladies and Gentlemen, what we have here is a good issue of Bat-Mite! The only thing I really ever wanted from this series was jokes custom made for comic fans. Ones that only we would get and appreciate. While Jurgens has only lightly peppered…
The collected issue of Digital Firsts 13 & 14, “Strength of Hercules” and “The Old and the New” brings Shazam back to upset a tentative power balance between Superman’s cranky band of dictators and the gods themselves. Don’t expect it to last, though (nothing in Injustice ever does). Brian Buccellato had a whole lot of…
10 Minutes with Brian Buccellato, Writer for Injustice: Gods Among Us Alright, I have to apologize to everyone for how late I’m getting this to you. If you follow me on twitter, or if you’ve been reading the Upcoming Comics posts lately, then you know July has been a very trying month for me concerning…
Am I the only one that can’t believe it’s already August? It’s August! Where has the year gone? I feel like I’m in a time warp. Next thing I know, Bruce will be retired, Dick will be running Spyral, Babs will be starring in a Kardashian-like reality show that nobody cares about, and Damian will…
Last month we saw the rebirth/escape of the villain Livewire. This month’s “Surge Protection” gives us her origin via her YouTube-like channel (for which she also apparently did makeup tutorials--seriously). Babs calls on the assistance of both Frankie and Qadir (who has now conveniently left the University for a job with Luke Fox), to help…
Gotham by Midnight gets its own annual, which, though a bit surprising, is certainly very welcome given the overall quality of the book and the range of possibilities available to the mixed cast. Detective Drake is front and center in this tale called "The Gentleman Ghost" (should be obvious from the cover), about the return…
Do you need to read Batgirl no. 42 first? No! Feel free to skip the regular Batgirl series or save it for after: this story is definitely a stand-apart. This is the first Annual since the creative team of Tarr, Fletcher, and Stewart took over Batgirl, and it really amounts to a four-part adventure called…
