15 Years of Coverage (2010-2025)

Killer Croc vs Bane, Batman cake-walks through the escaped inmates, and Scarecrow gives his professional evaluation of the ensemble. What's not to like? Well, the art to start with, but we will get to that later... I feel like the current story arc is trying to overplay the importance of Batman's toys. While there are…
This has been an absurd three-parter, but there’s no denying the appeal of Harley teaming up with Power Girl to take on the Sportsmaster and the Clock King in this final installment titled “Clock Blockers” (go ahead and get your giggles out now--we’ll be spanking moneys later). Throw in some three-eyed purple cat creatures, one…
Now that we know Arkham Manor is among the titles on the chopping block for March, that casts a whole new perspective on what we’re reading. I think we all knew going into it that Arkham Manor was going to be a short-range stint. Bruce has to get his house back and return Batman to…
Batman '66 #18: "The Sheriff of Crime" and "Bats, Books, and Crazy Crooks" Written by Tom Peyer and Jeff Parker Illustrated by Dave Bullock and Richard Case Colors by Tony Aviña and Scott Kowalchuk Letters by Wes Abbott This month brings us two standalone shorter stories, neither one quite reaching the heights of some recent…
Earlier this week it was revealed that legendary comics artist Norm Breyfogle had suffered a stroke. While he is expected to make a full recovery, the left side of his body has been paralyzed, which is made even worse considering he's left-handed. Sadly, like many artists in the comics industry, Breyfogle doesn't have insurance, so…
Print issue No. 6 collects Digital Firsts 11 & 12, “Raise the Demon” and “Secret Weapon”. Interestingly, the title of No. 11 telegraphs the weapon referred to in No. 12. The solicits have been totally goofy so we don’t have an actual image for the cover. If DC ever posts one, I’ll be sure to…
I’m not going to lie, I’m really freaking excited for Christmas! I feel like Will Ferrell in Elf. I just want to walk around screaming “SANTA!!!!” And what makes it even better, is that we have a ton of books that are getting released on Christmas Eve! A good chunk of them are Annuals, so…
The Multiversity: Thunderworld #1 "Captain Marvel and the Day that Never Was" Written by Grant Morrison Art by Cameron Stewart It's another chapter of Multiversity, and another glimpse into the Multiverse. I was looking forward to this issue based of my previous experiences with the Thunderworld, but this didn't completely meet my expectations. It wasn't…
Batwoman #37 "Muddying the Waters" Written by Marc Andreyko Art by Georges Jeanty *Apologies to everyone for getting this to you so late. Work got a little crazy this week, so I’m behind with all of my comic stuff… (I haven’t even read Batman #37 yet. I know… it’s a sad thing to come to…
Teen Titans Go! #7 Written by Sholly Fisch and Merrill Hagan Illustrated by Ben Bates and Jorge Corona Letters by Wes Abbott A good sense of humor and fun goes a long way, and if nothing else, that's what Teen Titans Go! offers in spades. Having said that, though, this is probably the hardest book for me…
The Outlaws are going through some rough times, both on and off the page. The story has been so painfully misguided since its inception, taking two very human characters and one super-powered alien and have them travel through space and the depths of mysticism. They act more like wizards and starship pilots than disgruntled outlaws. …
One of the primary questions that got asked from last month was: What makes up these numbers? These numbers are made up of the physical copies that comic shops ordered from Diamond Distributors during the month in question. It has become common practice for these numbers to be shared with the general public, but digital…
With a new issue comes not only the slimmed-down creative team that I’ve been hoping for, but also a focused plot and a solid direction that sets the stage for the rest of World’s End. This so far one-sided war between Earth 2 and Apokolips is but a mere sham for the true machinations at…
If you bought the Jason Fabok cover (Jim Lee's is above), take a look at it. It's very misleading, however, it's creative in how it misconstrues the truth of what happens in this issue. I would liken it to a visual representation of how a rapper would use a turn of a phrase to speak…
Catwoman #37 "Sooner or Later You Will Descend" Written by Genevieve Valentine Art by Gary Brown Have I told you how much I love this new creative team? Well, let me - I love this new creative team! If you haven't checked out Catwoman since Nocenti's departure, then I strongly advise you pick up issues…
My father sometimes uses a phrase to express his excitement over something he enjoys. It's common enough (even though I've always thought it somewhat strange) but it's exactly how I felt after reading this month's issue of Batman/Superman. To use his words, I'm tickled over this issue. It employs an often-used "whodunnit" theme with the help…
This issue is part five of Robin Rises, a major story arc that's been spoiled so much and so heavily by its very own publisher that much of the curious wind filling its sails (ironically, "sells" too) is missing. I've tried staying away from a lot of internet chatter about this arc but it was impossible. Today, reading…
Last night, I was having trouble sleeping; I decided that, instead of tossing and turning in bed and wasting time, I would get up and be productive. At 2am I logged onto Comixology and read the newest issue of Batman. While the issue was unsettling enough as it was, imagine sitting at your computer, in…
I'll be honest, I read Batman #37 first this week, so anything that followed was bound to be a downgrade in both the visual and storytelling department, but I will try to be gentle towards Eternal. It doesn't help that this particular serving of Eternal wasn't all that hearty to begin with! This is one…
March 2015 Solicitations Christmas is a week away… and what is DC giving us this Christmas? They’re cancelling fourteen books. Yes. Fourteen! Granted, not all of them affect our little world here at BatmanNews.com, but some of them do. Two of the titles I expected, two are most likely more of a “formality,” and one…
