5 on Batman: Earth One, Vol. 2 reviewGeoff Johns and artist Gary Frank return to Earth One Gotham City to continue in their tale of Batman's reimagined origin. With a focus more on the man behind the mask, we get a glimpse into what drives Bruce Wayne to don the cape and the cowl and rid his city of the criminal element…
We’re heading into the back-half of Convergence this week, and I’m proud to say that I’ve been surprised by some of these tie-ins. This week in particular is a strong week. I feel like the first three books in my ranking could’ve easily been at the top of my list depending on my mood. And…
Just as a friendly reminder: the annual Free Comic Book Day is upon us this Saturday, May 2nd. Beginning in 2002, the first Saturday of May has been recognized as a day where different publishers release free materials to find new readers, provide a sampling of their product, and most importantly to encourage visiting a…
While I knew going into this that the highlight would be on Earth-2 Dick Grayson and Helena Wayne, I was pleasantly surprised to see that half of the issue was dedicated to Earth-30, better known as the Earth of the first Superman graphic novel I ever read (and therefore my favorite) – Superman: Red Son. …
The Multiversity #2 “Superjudge” Written by Grant Morrison Pencils by Ivan Reiss For just shy of a year now, Morrison has been taking us on a trip throughout the multiverse, and it’s been quite a ride. Overall, technically speaking, he’s had an amazingly solid run with this title, and the numerous artists that have contributed to…
I fear that the finale of Endgame has turned out to be rather derivative and uninspiring. I'm not here to tell you that my feelings on the issue are the definitive consensus on Endgame, nor that you are required to feel the way I do. I am merely sharing my opinion. And in order to…
It seems like forever since I've been able to discuss Justice League with you all. Oh yeah, because it has been forever since I've discussed Justice League with you guys. Judging by the sheer scope of this issue, I can definitely say that the extra time was needed. And this is just the prologue! Coming…
Double-crosses and Dragons. Epiphanies and miraculous recoveries. This issue ends up being a lot more engaging and thought provoking than some of the previous chapters. Dare I say it? The featured groundwork has actually piqued my curiosity! This issue gives us a new piece of information regarding the competition that I found rather interesting: up…
For Year Three’s Injustice Annual we get two stories: “A Proper Mage” and “Fall of the Titans”. Both are filler stories that happen before the events of Year Three even begin, so it might feel a little strange reaching back into the recesses of memory to place these tales in their proper context. “A Proper…
Writer Brian Buccellato crafts an exciting, thrilling tale involving the Crime Syndicate of Earth-Three and the Justice Legion Alpha of the 853rd Century from the DC One Million storyline. The two teams chosen for this particular Convergence tie-in piqued my interest and Buccellato does a heck of a job bringing the story to life. The…
Look, I know all people really want to talk about is the potential outcomes of Batman Endgame. I’m a little late with this post again, so I’ll just keep this short and let you get to it! We also posted the July 2015 Solicitations so if you haven’t checked that out, then be sure to…
The allure of ensemble-level, team-up books like Justice League, or in this case Batman and the Outsiders, lies with two factors: team chemistry and strength of villain. Where most individual titles can effectively explore a character’s identity and complexities, a two-issue run is not the place to do it. Convergence was billed as a Mortal…
There’s quite a bit of chatter going on about DC at the moment. We’re a little more than a month away from their re-launch, and there are plenty of things coming that are worth talking about – new titles, new creative teams, new arcs, “new Batman,” etc. And now that we have the July solicitations,…
![Frank Miller returns: 'The Dark Knight III: The Master Race' coming this fall [update]](https://i0.wp.com/archive.batmannews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/DKIII_announcement_image_tall_553a98665e9df3.62191638F.webp?resize=225%2C127&ssl=1)
Months after it was rumored to be in the works, Frank Miller has finally broken his silence and officially announced The Dark Knight III: The Master Race, the third and presumably final installment of his Dark Knight series. Little is known about the new miniseries, which follows the legendary 1986 story The Dark Knight Returns and 2002's controversial The Dark Knight…
Teen Titans Go! #18- "Royal Pains" Written by Merrill Hagan Pencils by Jorge Corona Colored by Jeremy Lawson Letters by Wes Abbott This week, Starfire seeks to reclaim her title of Tamaranean Princess while Robin tries to woo her and Beast Boy and Cyborg get really, weirdly excited about space jail and Raven just kind…
Marvel dominates the top ten this month with Star Wars, Spiderman, and....Howard the Duck? Batman: Arkham Knight does manage to slip into the number 9 spot, but the absence of DC's biggest hitters (Batman and Justice League) really shook up the playing field. Below you will find a chart detailing the 26 comics that this…
Convergence: The New Teen Titans #1 "Opposing Truths" Written by Marv Wolfman Pencils by Nicola Scott Inks by Marc Deering Colors by Jeremy Cox I was really eager to get my hands on this issue of Convergence. The biggest draw of the world hopping event is the return to early iterations of DC's stable. This particular…
Self sacrifice, unrelenting action, and the fate of countless worlds hanging in the balance. This should be the definition of epic, but instead it comes across as being nothing more than a mildly enjoyable diversion. We are 4 issues in and things are starting to drag for me. As we get closer to the finale,…
Batman: Arkham Knight #3- “You Can Fight City Hall” Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Ig Guara Inks by Julio Ferreira Colored by Andrew Dalhouse Letters by Travis Lanham Three issues in and I'm ready to read about this Batman every month for as long as I can. Peter J. Tomasi writes a Bruce…
Batman ’66 #22: "The Penguin Turns the Table/Batman Shows He's Able" Written by Mike W. Barr Illustrated by Michael Avon Oeming Colors by Tony Aviña Letters by Wes Abbott Ask me again another day and I might have a different answer, but it think that the villain from Batman '66 that has stuck with me…
