15 Years of Coverage (2010-2025)

It's an all-new storyline written and illustrated by an all-new creative team so hop aboard, eager reader! If you've been waiting for the right opportunity to try out a New 52 Batman comic, this is your chance (and don't forget about next week's Batman Eternal #1 while you're at it). In my review of Batman '66, Vol.…
I've been doing this for 2 and a half years now. Every Wednesday I read several Batman comics (it can be anywhere from 2-6) and write an article about each of them, plus there's the occasional graphic novel to tackle as well as a movie or cartoon here or there. I've absorbed more Batman-related material…
The current wave of Justice League graphic novels are a bit muddled because their issues intermingled during a crossover event called Trinity War and as a result JLA Volume 1, Justice League Dark Volume 4, and this book right here are all missing 4 chapters because if a particular chapter didn't feature the same title,…
I only have 2 comics to review this week. Let's all just marvel at that for a second, eh? I'll come right out and say it-- reviewing comics has felt like work more often than not ever since Trinity War began. Just look back on all the extra tie-in comics that leached on through crossover…
It's funny, I can't remember the last time I played Injustice: Gods Among Us (video game) but I find myself looking forward to the comic every month. In fact, I hardly even associate the two things anymore. When I hear "Injustice: Gods Among Us" the comic is always what comes to mind first and issues…
Thank goodness for Talon #17. The first two comics I reviewed today were awful, but this here was highly enjoyable. Not a single page is wasted in this ambitious 2-parter that sees Calvin Rose attempt to infiltrate one of Ra's al Ghul's infamous Lazarus Pits so he may once again live a normal life. At…
It's over. Batman: The Dark Knight #29 marks the end of my least-favorite solo Batman title. Before I get started let me just briefly point out where this series went wrong: It originally started before the New 52 during the height of Nolan-mania, hence the title "Batman: The Dark Knight." But instead of trying to…
No, you're seeing things right. DC actually released Part 4 of the "First Contact" saga 3 weeks ahead of Part 3's on-sale date. When I brought this up on last Sunday's "Upcoming Comics" article I asked if you all wanted me to review this now or wait until Part 3 came out and to my…
Until we get a Part 2 Blu-ray for Season 1 of the TV series, this Wednesday's final issue of Beware the Batman will be the last you see of this incarnation of The Dark Knight for a long time. Check out Batman News' exclusive preview below, this issue appears to be a very unique approach…
Batman: The Dark Knight and Talon both end this week, but things are just getting started for the second series of Injustice: Gods Among Us. Here’s the full list of review comics out this week, March 26th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation: The Anticipation Scale NOcenti – A comic I downright dread reading and…
Earlier this month General Mills and DC Comics teamed up to give fans free comics! Collectible Justice League comics have made their way back into specially marked boxes of Lucky Charms, Trix, Reese’s Puffs, Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Cookie Crisp and Honey Nut Cheerios. There are four comics to collect in all, with a bonus fifth…
It's Batman and Aquaman teaming up to find Robin's body. Sound strange? It is, but it's a good kind of strange that I think will get you really excited about this all-new arc (it's a great jumping-on point) and it makes for an awesome continuation of Grant Morrison's work on the New 52 Batman Incorporated…
The latest installment of Batman Beyond Universe features not two stories, but three! I'll talk about them all and let you know if this issue is worth picking up or if you should just sit it out until the next arc begins in April. System Override: Boss Level Written by Christos Gage Pencils by Iban…
Who's ready for more stories inspired by the classic TV series?! Well, the solicitation for this issue certainly said we would be getting more of the villainous cowboy Shame this issue and the cover definitely shows Shame's boots, but alas there is no Shame to be found within Batman '66 #9. However, it does feature…
It's definitely a different kind of Bat-week. We have a comic based on the 1966 TV series, a comic based on the Batman Beyond animated series, and a New 52 book that's going to feature Batman and Aquaman teaming up and I'd be lying if I said I didn't want it to play out a…
It was an event that had been in the making since the very launch of the New 52. In September 2011, every #1 debut issue of DC's relaunch featured a Where's Waldo-esque appearance by a cloaked woman who we would later learn to be none other than the Pandora of Greek myth. Little was known…
Kevin Smith is returning to comics! He'll be teaming up with his Babble-On co-host Ralph Garman to write a new mini-series titled "Batman '66 Meets The Green Hornet". The digital-first, twelve-part series will be released on a biweekly basis on May 21th. The first issue of the print edition will be available on June 4th.…
While the monthly print issues of Legends of the Dark Knight may have ended, the series lives on in weekly digital installments and the quarterly "100-Page Super Spectacular." The latest Super Spectacular collects digital chapters #38-40, #51, #53-55, and #59-60. It'll set you back $10 bucks, but it packs plenty of content to make it…
Last month, we saw the introduction of a new villain named "Silver" who believed that the Bat-family were vampires and the city was just under some sort of hypnotic delusion that he, his attractive servant, and the Batman's rogues gallery were impervious to. In fact, Silver thought the super-villains were actually freedom fighters trying to…
Not to cause a scandal or alarm anyone in any way, but I wasn't blown away by the conclusion to "Dark City." Yep, I'm the guy. I'm the guy who is going to be giving this one a "good but not great" review. In fact, now that "Dark City" is over I can say that…
