61 on Batman Eternal #51 reviewAfter reading this issue, you'll be thankful that the powers that be decided to make this a weekly instead of a monthly. Oh, who am I kidding! Even 7 days seems too long to wait after reading this. Expectations can play a huge role in the overall enjoyment one gets out of a story, and…
We bring Arkham Manor to a close with a mix of action and humor and a trail of questions left unanswered (possibly for exploration elsewhere?). In fact, this may not be the conclusion of Arkham Manor at all. The real final resolution may actually occur in Arkham Manor: Endgame, making that particular issue quite possibility…
Last issue we ended with a clash of titans as the Spectre faced off against the murky creature of genocide Ikkondrid smack-dab down in Gotham while a familiar Batplane zipped into the light of the fray. It was an epic cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers, so how does it all turn out? What’s the payoff?…
Batman ’66 #21: "The Garden of Death/Batman's Final Breath?” Written by Jeff Parker Illustrated by Sandy Jarrell Colors by Jordie Bellaire Letters by Wes Abbott Paradoxically, Batman '66 follows a pretty set formula established way back in the Sixties with the television series, yet it's also a book that is willing to go weird places…
In advance of their upcoming two-month long event, DC Comics has released an official guide to the different worlds and tie-ins for Convergence. As of now, the guide consists of a map with descriptions of each of the world cells on the main Convergence promo image, a listing of the books being released during the…
Old meets new at DC Comics this spring as the universe is enveloped by the two-month long event known as Convergence, a reality-bending event in which Brainiac has tied together timelines from all of DC History for a twisted experiment. During this "experiment" we will see characters of retro continuity and bizarre Elseworlds intertwine with…
I had to work through the weekend, so I apologize for getting this to you on a Monday night instead of Sunday. If you’re anything like I was when Andrew was doing this, then you probably get excited on Sunday nights, and look forward to posting in the comments section of the Upcoming article… only…
Futures End is fast approaching its own end with only two more issues left. Judging from the pace of this issue and its contents, I'm having a hard time believing that there will be any type of satisfactory conclusion within these pages. My very own future here at Batman-News will end with issue 48, so I'm…
February was a great month for the Batman titles! 10 of the titles that we cover all had tremendous increases in their sales, and one had an unexpectedly large dip. Below you will find a chart detailing the 25 comics that this site reviews, along with the total sales for this month and several previous…
Legends of the Dark Knight was relaunched in December, 2012 as a Digital First title made up of self-contained stories by an ever-changing roster of talented writers and artists. Since it's an anthology series, you can expect a great deal of variety in tone and style but that also means you will see a frequent…
I hated this book from the first page. We have Jason, who has that stupid nose thing on his helmet that should never, ever be there, because it looks asinine. There’s also Roy using the dumb moniker “Jaybird,” which only exists in issues that Scott Lobdell writes. It’s like when people give themselves nicknames; oh,…
Look at that beauty of a cover! Right from the start, Ben Oliver’s cover art pulls you in to a no-holds barred match-up between Darkseid and Powergirl. For a super-powered Kryptonian, she sure looks overmatched. If there’s one thing this series has gotten right, it would be the sheer strength and magnitude of Darkseid’s power. …
Here we have the conclusion to this stunning Kryptonian tale of family, friendship, and revenge. Of course, Batman's involved, but only in key moments. Family Affairs mainly focuses on the members of the House of El, Xa-Du the Phantom King, and the Kandorian captives. Kal-El and Kara Zor-El must put their attachments to their friend and relatives…
Batwoman #40 "Nocturne In Red” Written by Marc Andreyko Pencils by Georges Jeanty Inks by Karl Story and Dexter Vines Colors by Guy Major Before I say anything about what’s inside this book, I want to acknowledge the cover. I think it’s extremely well done, and it makes me wish that the overall quality inside…
At the beginning of this two part story, S.T.A.R. Labs' security (or lack thereof) had been breached. This spelled disaster for the city since the culprits broke into the secret vault to access the discontinued projects section which reportedly housed some destructive weapons. However, thanks to the Teen Titans, the city of Manhattan had been…
We conclude Year Three with the collected issue of Digital Firsts 23 & 24, “Maelstrom” and “Endgame”. This issue not only delivers the final resolution to the problem of all this out-of-control magic, but reveals Constantine’s motivation for getting involved in Batman’s Rebellion in the first place (you all have to have known he had…
This Batman: Endgame tie-in gives us the “Battle for the Burnside Bridge” starring Batgirl attempting to rescue a busload of characters trying to escape a hoard of “gigglers”. It all takes place at a barricade set up at the Burnside bridge. If you’re also reading Batgirl and wondering which of the two books you should…
It’s finally time for Barbara Gordon to confront the “Ghost in the Cowl” in this issue, which is the culmination of a story arc that’s been building since the new creative team took over Batgirl starting with issue no. 35. Six issues in this new direction it’s clear that the writing team isn’t going to…
You want to see Batman completely lose his composure and take down a bunch of criminals in seconds! Well then, you've come to the right place. And we aren't talking your run of the mill street thugs either, we are talking about super villains who would usually get entire story arcs devoted to them. This…
June should be a damn exciting month! There’s a lot of changes taking place with current titles, and quite a few new title as well! And if you thought this wasn’t enough newness, there’s more to come down the line! Unless something has changed, Batman Eternal: Year Two is still in the pipeline – one…
