51 on Batman #35 reviewWhen you start off a Batman story with Bruce recovering from Scarecrow fear toxin, every single thing afterward is subject to speculation! I can't help but wonder: could it be a complete red herring that was placed there for the sole purpose of making the audience second guess everything they encounter? If it was indeed placed…
Batgirl finally confronts Bard! I have really been looking forward to this exchange and knew it had to be coming sooner or later (once Bard was outed as an agent of Hush). However, I can't believe it took us six issues to get to this point! It does not seem like anything Barbara has been…
The title of this book is “Burned” and I guess the $20,000 question is: will you get burned if you buy it? Let’s face it, we’re all bringing a lot of expectations or judgments to this book before even cracking the pages. I’ve decided for the purpose of this review to read it through the…
Print issue No. 1 collects the Digital Firsts 1 & 2, “Rose” and “Magic”. Enter John Constantine, without whom the whole landscape of comics might look very different today. I don’t think that’s overstating: when he emerged on the scene in 1985, he was a trailblazer, a revolution, a stiff middle finger to the Comics…
I’m exhausted from birthday festivities, so I’m going to keep this short and sweet! Batgirl’s new creative team launches their run, Injustice heads into its third year, and Earth 2 kicks off its weekly series. On top of that, Snyder’s Endgame is here, the Joker is taking over Futures End, and Worlds’ Finest is back…
When I signed on to be a reviewer, I’m pretty sure the main determining factor for why got picked was because I showed a genuine enthusiasm for Justice League 3000. I would’ve been cool with just this book, but the powers that be gave me entrusted me with a whole bunch of others one as…
If you've been reading my reviews of this series, you'll know I'm a fan. I like how Greg Pak handles the inner monologues. I like the interactions between Bruce and Clark and how important that relationship is. I even like Jae Lee's artwork. This puts me in the minority with my friends and many who…
Does the new background story for Hush maintain the integrity and essence of the original character? I'd like to be able to give you a quick yes or no, but the fact of the matter is: it is going to take a serious evaluation of the material at hand to come up with a true…
Gotham Academy #1 "Welcome to Gotham Academy" Written by Becky Cloonen and Brenden Fletcher Art by Karl Kerschl Gotham Academy is finally here, and school is in session! This book has gained quite a bit of hype recently, and I've anxiously been waiting to read it. Before we get into my review though, I want…
I'm glad Justice League is getting caught up from the delays. The cover by Jason Fabok looks great. Jessica Cruz's character has an interesting development. Unfortunately, these are the most positive things I can say about this issue. I did not find it worth $3.99 or perhaps $2.99. I must confess: I did just get finished reading Grayson #3…
Tiny Titans: Return to the Treehouse #5 Written by Art Baltazar and Franco Illustrated by Art Baltazar The laughs start on the cover, and... well, it may not be a riot all the way through, but there are enough gags and details to make this another welcome entry in the Tiny Titans continuity. So far,…
Last month's Grayson: Futures End #1 was fantastic. If you haven't picked that up, go and do so. I thought it would have thrown a wrench in this series and really just set it off pace, but I was wrong. It carried with it big themes and creative writing. So this time going back into the main…
This is our first week coming out of Futures End month. I suspect there's been a bump in Futures End readers just out of sheer curiosity or plain necessity. This issue hops back into the old multi-story mode, giving us several small sections to inch our way through, though this time there seems to be an overall quickening of…
America is the enemy! Extremely weighty material for your average comic book fanfare. If you read comics as a respite from your daily toils, this is not the issue for you. Usually a comic is a way to slip away from the real world for 20 minutes, to live vicariously through the eyes of another…
What I like best about annuals is that they are an opportunity to tell stories that can enhance, build on, or deviate completely from the current continuity. In a way you’re getting a little something extra outside of the norm, typically with more pages, and often self-contained. All of these things are true of Injustice:…
Batman ’66 Meets the Green Hornet #5: “The Duo Sticks Together” Written by Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman Illustrated by Ty Templeton and Jon Bogdanove Colored by Tony Aviña Lettered by Wes Abbott Cover by Alex Ross Batman is on television, speaking to a reporter who caught the Dynamic Duo leaving the police station. When…
"Things get really scrambled when a super-evolved Egghead invades Gotham and makes a monkey out of Batman." Here is Batman News' exclusive preview of BATMAN '66 Chapter 44. Part 1 of 2 of a new story featuring fan favorite show villain Egghead! Fans can download this chapter on Wednesday via the DC Comics App, Readdcentertainment.com, comiXology.com,…
Damn! This is going to be a good week! There are a lot of strong titles coming out this week, plus the debut of Gotham Academy! AND my birthday is Saturday! The only thing that would make this week better would be winning the lottery so I could quit my day job! This week’s releases…
Catwoman: Futures End #1 “The Death of Selina Kyle” Written by Sholly Fisch Art by Patrick Olliffe Look at this!!! Who knew this could happen? It's 2014, it's an issue of Catwoman, and I'm recommending that you go pick it up! And it's not because it's good compared to the trite that Nocenti gave us,…
This issue of Futures End is unlike any other. Usually, each issue contains five or six micro sections, each with a tiny tease of information. This issue is one giant story, or rather, one giant exposition. It is a more than welcome exposition though. For weeks we've all wondered about this war between worlds. Each issue has…
