First of all, that's a super-cool cover. Second of all, I know I said in my review of issue #0 that things would probably be summed up pretty well in issue #1 for those who couldn't get a Free Comic Book Day copy, but it looks like I was wrong. You're going to enjoy this…
Chapter 5 doesn't really feel like any issue of Batman Eternal before it. There aren't several different subplots to follow, Batman is hardly featured at all, and almost every major storyline running through the first four issues is missing. Instead, we're turning our attention to Tim Drake and an investigation into a mysterious disease plaguing…
The Comics Arts Council sent out a press release late last night detailing how the Finger Estate definitely does not agree with a DC representative's remark that the comics company was "all good" with Finger and his family." The full press release can be read below: During a recent WonderCon Anaheim panel for Batman’s 75th anniversary,…
What do Earth 2, a sumo wrestler, Tim Drake, and Batman Beyond have in common? They're all featured in this week's new Batman comic book releases! Here’s the full list of review comics out this week, May 7th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation: The Anticipation Scale NOcenti – A comic I downright dread…
If you don't know what it is then you're in for a crazy freaking ride, but if you've been following the release of Futures End closely you get about what you expected, which is still pretty cool. Futures End #0 is DC Comics most talked about Free Comic Book Day release. It's the prelude to…
Jim Gordon is on trial, Stephanie Brown is on the run, and as Carmine Falcone plots to rebuild Gotham in his image another unseen enemy of The Dark Knight moves to burn everything down, it's Batman Eternal time! There are two things that might be a little misleading about the otherwise awesome cover of Batman Eternal…
Batgirl's 2nd over-sized annual issue is a worthwhile read that does much to develop a classic villain. Writer Gail Simone divides the comic by seasons and through the seasons explores the changing emotional state of Poison Ivy, who plays a major role throughout the comic, which actually begins its narrative near the launch of the…
There were enough requests for this in the comments section of the weekly Upcoming Comics article that I figured I'd talk about Batwoman this Saturday. As you know, things didn't end so well between DC Comics and the book's original writers J.H. Williams & W. Haden Blackman and as a result the 4th volume of…
A lot of good people are about to get hurt. While Batman and his rebels might be incapacitated, the might of the Green Lanterns is not turning a blind eye to Superman's takeover of planet earth and issue #4 signifies the march toward war. Ignore the ladies on the bottom half of the cover, because…
Justice Lords Beyond begins here with part 1 of the 4 part saga that sees Batman Beyond cross over with Justice League Beyond for one massively entertaining read for fans of the animated series. It's going to be hard to review this comic without giving away all the surprises, but I'll try and make it as…
While everything good is either burning, bleeding, or behind bars in Batman Eternal, you can always take a break from the darkness by picking up a copy of Batman '66, where it's summer time in Gotham and even The Dark Knight can be seen walking about in the daylight-- actually, he seems to always be…
May 3rd is the first Saturday of May and that means it's Free Comic Book Day! Support your local comic shop this weekend by picking up a free book (or more if your shop is really nice) and then shell out some cash for some comics you've always been interested in reading! DC Comics will…
The Superman/Batman series has been relaunched for the New 52, but with Batman's name first and an opening storyline that explores the DC Multiverse. "Cross World" rewinds the clock to an adversarial Batman and Superman who meet for the first time on an adventure into another dimension where they encounter different incarnations of themselves who represent…
The All-New DC Comics Designer Series: Greg Capullo figures hit shelves this May! There will be four total and the first pair are a must-own for fans of Scott Snyder & Greg Capullo's Court of Owls saga because you're not only going to find a spot-on Batman at your local comic shop, but Talon William…
As part of Batman's 75th Anniversary, DC Entertainment announced today that on Wednesday, July 23rd thousands of comic book retailers and bookstores across the nation will celebrate "Batman Day". Fans who visit these participating retailers will receive a free, special edition of DETECTIVE COMICS #27, featuring a reimagining of Batman’s 1939 comic book debut, designed…
Just when you thought it was going to be a light month, April 30th arrives with its onslaught of annuals, printed editions of digital first titles, the latest installment of Batman Eternal, and an oddly timed Forever Evil Aftermath issue that hits stores before Forever Evil actually ends. Here’s the full list of review comics out this…
Last month, DC Comics published chapter 4 of a crossover called "First Contact." Today, DC Comics published chapter 3 of "First Contact." Now, who here can tell me where they went wrong? Batman/Superman is no stranger to delays, Jae Lee's artwork takes a great deal of time after all. But having the conclusion go out…
All of the clues have made Batman just as angry as the crime itself and you know what that means, it's time to go beat the living hell out of Oswald Cobblepot! Why? Because The Penguin might know something...or not! Even if he doesn't, pummeling Penguin usually clears Batman's head and inspires a brand-new hunch…
Did you like Zero Month? No, I don't mean "Zero Year" Month where we saw everybody struggling through a hurricane, I'm talking about that event in September 2012 when every DC title flashed back to their main character's early days. Well, if you did, I have good news: Secret Origins is an all-new series that tells…
The Year of The Bat continues...
