21 on Futures End #48 reviewDoes anyone want my issues of Futures End? I have the entire series. They are well-read and kind of worn from the many hours I've spent flipping back and forth between issues, looking for plot points, digging for clues, hoping for something good. Why am I ditching my issues? Because the whole thing, in my mind, was…
Batwoman Annual #2 "Medieval Times" Written by Marc Andreyko Art Duties: Just look at the first picture below… there are WAY too many on one book… Oh my God… It gets worse… I was thought we were going back to space, and instead, I got something worse… Holy mother, I was not expecting this: Seriously,…
The Batman/Superman Annual plays out as sort of an extended epilogue for the previous arc. I enjoyed the last few issues involving Superman's nemesis, Xa-Du the Phantom King, so I was curious to see how things would continue after Batman/Superman #20's conclusion. I mentioned in the last review that I felt a little cheapened by the ending of…
This issue was trippy. This is the second-to-last issue of Futures End, so one would —and should!— expect a comic that is firing on all cylinders, but this issue is not. It's rife with awful dialogue, awkward pacing, and abysmal artwork, yet... the entire issue remains interesting throughout. Forget all those "other" story lines going on in…
Prepare for the upcoming video game by reading the prequel comic series by Batman & Robin scribe Peter J. Tomasi! Here's Batman News' exclusive preview of Batman: Arkham Knight #2 available next Wednesday at your local comic shop... BATMAN: ARKHAM KNIGHT #2 Written by PETER J. TOMASI Art by VIKTOR BOGDANOVIC, IG GUARA and ART…
Gotham Academy: Endgame #1 “Joker Jitters” Written by Becky Cloonan and Brenden Fletcher Art by Jeff Stokely Colors by Jenny Donovan Alright, this is going to be difficult to review… Not because it was terrible, but because I literally have to dissect a single book into quarters to properly review the content and materials… So…
The Teen Titans received just what the doctor ordered to get things really going for the title: fresh blood! Literally, fresh blood is what compiled the beginning of this issue. Numerous slained bodies laid lifeless in the streets, blood splattered everywhere. All of the evidence seems to point to a familiar face that has returned--Superboy!…
If you've been following Batman and Robin for some time or just happened to pick up the previous annuals, then you know that these have been exceptional pieces in Tomasi's run. They've been filled emotion and great, fun moments between the Dynamic Duo. The first annual had Bruce on a wild goose chase that took…
And so begins the tale henceforth to be known as Convergence..... This story features Superman and "Brainiac" on a world that houses hundreds of bottled cities captured from different planets, universes, dimensions, and even times. That sentence pretty much sums up the bare bones of this comic. If you have read any of the Convergence interviews…
“Be Careful Whatcha Wish For...” is the ominous title of this latest boxcar ratcheting down the rails as part of the HarleyTrain, but we’ll have to wait until June to see how Harley’s scheme actually plays out. For now she’s just building her team after putting out an advertisement last issue with a call for…
There has been a lot of murmuring and outright grousing that the Endgame tie-ins aren’t so much tie-ins as just excuses to put more paper on the stands. There was also some chatter last week about whether Arkham Manor would come to some greater resolution through the Endgame tie-in since the mini-series ended with a…

You'll also find links to the worst reviewed books of the month, and we all know watching hardcore fans rage is always an entertaining read. WARNING: Spoilers will abound WORST FIGHT SCENE *The…
I’m really excited for this week! Aside from some delayed issues, we’re going to say goodbye to the “New 52” as we close out some books, some arcs, and venture into the horizon of the new DC! Also, this will be Jesse’s last week to review a title for us as Future’s End comes to…
Last week we were treated to a hair-raising conclusion for an issue that had a ton of steam as we race headlong towards the end of World's End. Daniel Wilson's story picks up right where we left off last time, with the last members of the human race leaving their home planet behind to seek refuge…
Multiversity: Ultra Comics #1 "Out of His Box" Written by Grant Morrison Pencils by Doug Mahnke Let's just get to it... This was my least favorite issue of Multiversity, aside from its debut. Yes, there were some decent themes, and I understand where Morrison was coming from, but the execution of the product as a…
Justice League, Vol. 5: Forever Heroes? A more appropriate name would have been "Forever Evil: The Supplemental Material." Volume 5 doesn't really feature the Justice League at all. These chapters fall smack-dab in the middle of Forever Evil and that means that almost all of our heroes are being held captive somewhere and the evil-doers…
Catwoman #40 “The Issue & End” Written by Genevieve Valentine Art by Garry Brown Colors by Lee Loughridge We’ve reached the end of what’s been, in my opinion, an excellent arc. I’ve described Valentine’s narrative as a “slow burn,” where she intertwines intricate plots and details, building suspense with every issue. So how well does…
First off, I'd like to give a virtual round of applause to the creative team (Tomasi, Gleason, Gray, and Kalisz) for reaching the end of their run on this title. It's been an emotional, thrilling ride with some very stunning visuals and memorable moments that really helped define the status quo of the current Dynamic…
Gotham Academy #6 "Pizza Club" Written by Becky Cloonan and Brenden Fletcher Art by Karl Kerschl and Mingue Helen Chen Colors by Msassyk, Serge LaPointe, and Mingue Helen Chen I absolutely adore this book! It's light hearted and fun, but at the same time, there's a respectful amount of depth found in each character. I…
