35 on Upcoming Comics: November 19th, 2014There’s a lot to cover this week! It’s one of those weeks where I’m not really sure what to read first, but I know I need to start with the two titles I’m reviewing, but I really don’t want to… AKA – This is going to be an awesome week in comics! And on top…
When I saw the cover and solicitation for this book, I immediately thought of my favorite moment from the most recent iteration of the Batman/Superman line. Bruce and Clark meet as kids and have that baseball moment while Jonathan and Alfred male-bond over a broken-down car. It was awesome, because it highlighted the qualities of…
Another issue, another book that leaves me feeling that something is missing. Maybe that’s a bad explanation. I’m still not sure if Daniel H. Wilson’s story is at fault here, or if it is being parsed and broken apart by editorial influence. Whether it is an issue count that this story needs to reach, or…
Kyle Higgins and Jason Fabok have outdone themselves! This issue is officially in my top three best issues of Batman Eternal thus far, and I couldn’t be more pleased with it. We end up getting a massive number of resolutions to plot lines that were hanging out there and a fantastically explosive setup for the…
New Suicide Squad #4 "Pure Insanity" Written by Sean Ryan Art by Rob Hunter and Trevor Scott Before I begin my review, I want everyone to know that I was really rooting for this book. When DC announced the reboot, I felt like it was a great opportunity to leave behind some poor storytelling, and…
Excuse me for a moment while I pick my brain up off the floor, it seems to have leaked out my ear because it could not contain the level of awesomeness that this comic displayed. Seriously though, if this issue had been nothing more than an extension of the first 10 pages I would have…
Lois is leaping! Faraday and Fifty Sue are featured! Batman beats Batman! Madison is missing! These are all alliterated sentences that are both true and over-hyped. Yes, over-hyped. You see that cover above these words? Do you know where my level of Futures End excitement was at when I laid eyes on it? Up to here (I'm…
Last month I promised I would review this book from the perspective of its new intended audience. Just one problem: I’m not sure I quite have a solid grasp of who exactly that audience might be. Judging from certain plot points in issue no. 35, it seemed to be geared toward a 14+ female hipster…
Last week, DC announced Convergence, a multiverse spanning event kicking off next April. Consisting of a nine issue miniseries and 40 two-part tie-ins, the event will preempt all of DC's books for the months of April and May. Today, they revealed even more details, including synopses for a few of the tie-in series. From the…
As I’m sure you noticed, we’re working to bring you some new features here at Batman-News.com! I’m excited to see some of these changes come into play, but we’re looking for other ways to make the Comics section more fun and engaging. Jay kicked off our review of Retro Comics, and he and Brandon will…
Batman has had a long, complex history in comics. 75 years worth, in fact. While we here at Batman News strive to stay on top of every new issue and release that features the Dark Knight, the Bat-family, and his Rogues Gallery that comes out on a weekly basis, it's that history that has made…
This past Monday, DC Comics announced its next huge event: "Convergence." Beginning on April 1, 2015, the event will consist of a 9-part main series written by Jeff King and 40 2-part tie-in miniseries. Here's the full press release from DC: Comic book fans have a lot to be excited about! Today, DC Entertainment and…
Welcome back to World’s End, where so many cool things happen but the book never stops and breaths in order for the reader to see how things will play out. It’s like dealing with six screaming kids in a toy store, all trying to figure out what to play with but they keeping throwing their…
Who’s up for an origin story? Anyone? How about four? “Origins” is just that, with a look into the pasts of the Four Furies of Apokolips. The exploration of the issue as a whole is going to be pretty short, seeing as how this is mostly background for some characters who haven’t really made an…
This issue of Grayson takes us down a slightly different path than we've seen before. There is a mission involving a body part, there is a "love" interest, and there is the reminder that this guy used to be Nightwing. Spyral is paranoid and Dick is fun. What makes this issue different is that the story by…
Gotham Academy #2 "The Diary of Millie Jane Cobblepot" Written by Becky Cloonan & Brenden Fletcher Art by Karl Kerschl Last month we were introduced to an aspect of Gotham that hasn't really been explored - its youth. For the first time, we're getting a glimpse of what it's like to be a normal kid…
Happy 5th of November everyone! I hope you read or watched V for Vendetta today to celebrate. I had it playing in the background while I wrote my reviews. Speaking of which, how about this cover for Futures End #27? I saw it sitting on the shelf at the comic book shop today and thought how strange…
For me, one of the most enjoyable aspects of Eternal has been all the crazy team-ups. Eternal seems to have a knack for placing characters together that we have never seen teamed-up before and then creating engaging scenarios through the juxtaposition of those characters. The Alfred/Bane pairing is one I have been looking forward to since…
This is the kind of story I haven't seen since before the New52. It doesn't have any ulterior motives. It's not trying to get you hooked into buying some long running arc. There are no gimmicks or hype. It isn't planting the seeds for some company wide crossover event. You don't really even need to…
In a week where some top-notch quality books were released, I was pleasantly surprised to find that when all was said and done, Justice League 3000 stood as not only my favorite book of the lot, but as perhaps my favorite issue of the entire run. Last month, I was underwhelmed with the ease by…
