  • Batwing #33 review

    The latest exploits of Batwing start off strong but quickly loses its way.   A quarter of this issue is dedicated to the origin story of its villain.  While I didn't like where the story went afterwards, the setup was quite intriguing.  It set up a realistic situation that was not only believable but also sad. …


  • Batman Eternal #13 review

    If your coming to Batman Eternal #13 expecting action, or even Batman, then you have come to the wrong place.  While you won't be getting your action fix this week from Eternal you will be getting a step forward in the plot and an interesting exchange between the Gordons. Often times we are presented with…


  • Justice League 3000 #8 review

    Hi there DC, Sean here.  We need to have a serious conversation about what you’re doing with these covers for Justice League 3000.  In issue 4 you gave away that Flash would return on the cover, only to have him return pretty much on the final page.  I thought you would have changed your ways,…


  • Earth 2 #25 review

    When we last visited Earth 2, Green Lantern and Hawkgirl had initiated a daring escape for the imprisoned Flash, Superman was busy on a date with Red Tornado Lois, and the rest of the Wonders had met up with the World’s Army on Amazonia to plan their counterattack against the forces of Apokolips.  Wasting no…


  • Earth 2 Annual #2 review

    Well I didn’t review Earth 2 Annual 1 seeing as how it revolved around a couple of characters that are going to be pretty much nonfactors in the Earth 2 universe going forward.  Al Pratt, The Atom, was last seen freezing to death in Moscow and getting his arm ripped off by Superman, and Batman…


  • Superman Unchained #7 review

    “Out of Time” I’m guessing most Batfans haven’t been following Superman Unchained up until this point. The salient points to get you grounded for this Bat-centered issue are as follows: Superman has just thwarted yet another worldwide apocalypse with the help of Batman, the Wraith, and a schmancy doo-dad called the Earthstone. Mostly it was the…


  • Batman/Superman #11 review

    A research mission consisting of three individuals enter the Phantom Zone and fight bad guy before narrowly finding their way out. Sounds like the Frankenstein storyline in Futures End, no? Unlike Futures End though, you won't have to read seven different issues to find out what happens to this crew because Batman/Superman  neatly encapsulates this story in one issue. I…


  • Worlds' Finest #0-24 review

    So I’ll be honest with everyone, World’s Finest wasn’t exactly what I signed up for when I joined the review team, but I took it on because it involves characters from Earth 2 and that’s more or less my wheelhouse here.  I hadn’t read a word of World’s Finest prior to about a week ago,…


  • Earth 2 #24 review

    In the previous issue, Red Tornado Lois and Evil-Superman took an awkward trip to Smallville, Val-Zod demonstrated his pacifism by being nothing more than a Kryptonian-shield in a fight, oh and Batman blew up half of Gotham along with the Bat-cave.  Superman’s path of destruction may have been tempered by Lois’ return from the dead,…


  • Upcoming Comics: July 2nd, 2014

    I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’ve been in a World Cup frenzy lately. I was pulling this post together Saturday morning, and I had the Brazil game going. I’m eating my French toast, writing/watching, when my (extreme) inner nerd took over, and I started wondering how good a soccer team comprised…


  • Announcing two new ongoing Bat-comics and one old Bat-manga

DC Comics is thrilled to announce two new comic book series, expanding the Bat-line, ARKHAM MANOR and GOTHAM ACADEMY. ARKHAM…


  • Batman '66 Meets the Green Hornet #1 review

    Batman '66 Meets the Green Hornet #1: "On the Wrong Track" Written by Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman Illustrated by Ty Templeton Colors by Tony Aviña Letters by Wes Abbott Cover by Alex Ross Oh man, this is a big one, but before I begin you should go watch the episodes "A Piece of the…


  • Batman Beyond Universe #11 review

    The stage is set and plot threads are coming together for the finale in the thrilling penultimate chapter of the "Justice Lords Beyond" crossover event. Another World: "Sacrifice" and "Razor's Edge" Written by Kyle Higgins Illustrated by Thony Silas Colors by Emilio Lopez I really like Kyle Higgins as a writer. I've been rereading his…


  • Batman '66 #12 review

    Batman '66 #12 "The Queen of Diamonds' Big Heist/Batman Makes Marsha Pay the Price" Written by Jeff Parker Art by Dario Brizuella Letters by Wes Abbott After last month's fairly disappointing three-parter, the series returns to form with two highly entertaining stories with some great creative teams. First up is a two-part tale featuring Marsha,…


  • Earth 2 #23 review

    Superman has come face-to-face with not only his Kryptonian brethren, but also his dead wife, Lois Lane, who’s been reanimated in the body of Red Tornado.  Green Lantern has returned from the grave, the remnants of the World’s Army are gathering on Amazonia, and Batman is with the remaining Wonders busy underneath Gotham City plotting…


  • Earth 2 #22 review

    It’s been two weeks on Earth 2 since the return of Superman and the death of Steppenwolf, and we are finally treated to the revival that’s been hinted at for several issues now.  If you can’t tell from the cover: Green Lantern’s back!  And there’s several fantastically-drawn pages thanks to Nikola and Trevor Scott, who…


  • Earth 2 #21 review

    If you haven’t read Earth 2 Annual #2 or the respective review, I highly suggest you do so before continuing further. Anyway, I don’t know if I’ve seen a more brutal opening to a comic issue in the New 52, but the first few pages of “The Kryptonian, Part One” show us just how impactful…


  • Earth 2 #20 review

    We are still dealing with the fallout of Superman’s return, but the Wonders have regrouped and now have perhaps the only two weapons that can be used against the returned Kryptonian.  Batman’s Kryptonite and now another Kryptonian who was apparently being held by Terry Sloan seem to be the only viable options for defeating The…


  • Earth 2 #19 review

    Superman has left the scene of the previous battle at the Arkham Base, and the remaining Wonders may have a chance to collect themselves before launching a counterattack.  They are interrupted, however, by hordes of Parademons bearing down on them from the sky.  The majority of the action in “The Dark Ages, Part 3” takes…


  • Earth 2 #18 review

    With Superman and Batman’s return to Earth 2, the world now needs the joint power of all the Wonders to repel the forces of Apokolips.  In the opening chapter of “The Dark Ages” arc, Tom Taylor has brought his talent from Injustice: Gods Among Us to showcase another tale of Superman turning on his adopted…
