0 on Exclusive Preview: Batman: The Jiro Kuwata Batmanga Chapter 33The latest chapter of Jiro Kuwata's Batmanga will be available for download this Saturday and Batman News has your exclusive first look: In part 3 of the 4 part "Mystery of The Outsider" Batman and Robin only have one hour to live unless the Matter Transformation device is somehow found and turned off. Using the…
Hope is a dangerous thing. So are expectations, and last week’s Earth 2/World’s End combo gave me the slightest amount of hope that the conclusion to these series would be a worthwhile venture. In the “too long; didn’t read” version of this review: Nothing Happens. Oh sure, pieces move around the board and events take…
Every so many years a stellar line-up of comics industry creators are given great creative freedom to tell tales with the full flourish of their pen and unbound by the continuity that would restrain their ideas in the monthly titles. Adventures so wildly different that range from the tragic, the funny, the surreal, and the…
Secret Six #2 "Down the Rabbit Hole" Written by Gail Simone Pencils by Ken Lashley Inks by Ken Lashley and Drew Geraci Colors by Jason Wright After quite a bit of waiting, we finally get the second installment of Secret Six! I'm not sure why there were such drastic delays, but I really hope it…
This issue collects Digital Firsts 17 & 18, “Assault on the Tower” and “Fight or Flight”. When we last checked in, bother Wonder Woman and Superman had been awakened from their slumbers by Ares through a bargain with Hera (the particulars of which we don’t know at this point). Spectre has also discerned the location…
Who better to spend your Valentine’s Day with than Harley Quinn, right? If there’s one character in the DCU that is giddy hearts and abundant arrows personified, it’s the Mad Love Maven herself. Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti bring us a tale of unrequited (but not wholly unconsummated) love in this holiday special that has…
This is going nowhere fast! I thought the last issue was unnecessary, but this one is borderline ad nauseam. So, what happens in this issue? Batman punches out Mister Bygone, Batwing chases the spirits out of his apartment, Jim Corrigan elaborates on the book used to bring Deacon Blackfire back from the dead, Harper and…
This issue should have been renamed “The People We Forgot to Include in World’s End,” because that’s essentially what this was. It takes all the Wonders who were barely mentioned and then never brought up again in World’s End and gives a hastily-told story that serves as little more than unsubstantial fluff. Writing duties fall…
Well… this has been an interesting week. In case you’ve been living under a rock, DC made some pretty big announcements this week concerning their New 52 brand, and new titles they’ll be launching after Convergence. If you missed it, then check out Jay’s post DC Comics is Killing the New 52, New Slate of…
Check out that cover, huh? “As Apokolips burns, Green Lantern falls – and the Earth is left unprotected!” Yeah, that doesn’t happen. Actually, Green Lantern is barely in this issue at all, and that’s a good thing. What we get instead is a Daniel Wilson story full of self-examination and acceptance in a time of…
Grayson #7: "Sin by Silence" Written by Tim Seeley and Tom King Illustrated by Stephen Mooney Colored by Jeromy Cox Lettered by Carlos M. Mangual Remember how last month I praised the creative team for their ability to start these stories in the thick of the action without things feeling bogged down and expository? Sad to…
The New 52 imprint is going away. This morning, news broke from DC Entertainment that this June will see the release of two dozen new ongoing series and miniseries following the end of April and May's Convergence event. The full press release can be found here, but there are a few quotes from co-publisher Dan DiDio that…
The two main questions that are probably on everybody's minds are: is Lonnie dead and does Batman get blamed for it? I'm going to talk about it, so if you haven't read the issue yet and don't want to know, I suggest you stop now and come back for the discussions after reading. Exactly like…
Lordy Lordy! Look who's 40! It's Futures End of course! We're a hefty 40 issues deep (41 if you count the zero issue) and the story is ramping up hard in this issue. If there's been one consistent negative about this series, it's been the extreme lack of follow through. For example, how awesome were those first few…
Only 8 issues left with Batman Eternal, and the creative team decides that THIS is the best use of their ink? This issue is all about Professor Milo on the run because of his involvement with the Arkham incident; personally, I thought the Arkham plot was finished when the Spectre intervened. I did not need…
In the wake of the Super Bowl, I would just like to say that had the NFL hired Batman, the Deflate Gate issue would be mute. He would’ve caught the culprit and put them in Blackgate … or… you know… NFL Prison. I actually didn’t watch the game due to a work project, but I…
DC Entertainment has declared February 2015 as Harley Quinn Month! To kick things off, DC is launching Harley Quinn’s own Facebook page and a Harley Hub page. In addition, DC is orchestrating a variety of special activities all month long such as releasing HARLEY QUINN VALENTINE’S DAY SPECIAL #1 and a beautiful HARLEY QUINN/JOKER KISS…
Hello Gotham, Here's that new segment we talked about last month. The Best and Worst will highlight the best reviewed books, the worst reviewed books, and our favorite and least favorite moments of the whole month. Luckily, this month had more good books than bad and many of our reviewers couldn't even think of a…
The Multiversity: Guidebook #1 “Maps & Legends” Written by Grant Morrison Oh, Grant… Why is it that when I read half of your work, I have to sit and debate if I love it or not? Please stop making me think, and just make things easy for me… I’m kidding… kind of… I’m going to…
Gotham Academy #4 "The Secret of the Symbol" Written by Becky Cloonan and Brenden Fletcher Art by Karl Kerschl Have I told you how much I enjoy this little book? For me, this is one of the biggest surprises to come out of last year's wave of Gotham’s new front. If I'm being honest, I…
