5 on Batman: Li'l Gotham #12 reviewNow comes the end of one of my favorite Bat-titles, Batman: Li'l Gotham and I believe that Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs, its creators, gave it a wonderful send-off. Once again, the print issue features two stories in one. The first is a simple tale that's just played for laughs, but the second and final…
There's a prevailing sense throughout the past year's worth of Nightwing comics that writer Kyle Higgins had big plans for Dick Grayson in Chicago but as soon as Forever Evil began dictating terms for the entire DC Universe the series grew a bit aimless until we reached this 2-part finale of issues #28 and #29. It's obviously…
No fan of Andy Kubert's Batman will want to miss this showcase of the artist's best work from the past decade presented in the prestige "Deluxe Edition" format. Every issue has been reprinted in its original pencils without ink or color so every minute detail of the craft is clearly visible. Content Batman Unwrapped: Andy…
Awwwww snap! We got the coat, son! The Dark Knight Rises coat is cannon! And that's pretty much the only new and positive observation I have to make about Forever Evil: Arkham War #6. Goodnight, everybody! Recommended If... Overall It's really just more of the same only this time a little worse because most of the…
Remember when the new creative team had Luke Fox getting in adventures in Italy and other locations around the globe while occasionally coming home to confront re-invented C-list baddies like Ratcatcher and I was all like "Hey everyone, come check out Batwing, it's really good now!" Well... for whatever reason we're diving into an aspect…
The Batman News community has spoken and these are the finalists for the "Best Batman Cover of 1944." Choose your favorite and in 3 week's time we'll have a winner before starting a whole new poll for the best World's Finest cover of 1945! Keep in mind that you’re not voting for what cover is…
One of our favorite Batman titles comes to an end this week with the final print edition of Batman: Li'l Gotham. While this is the last issue, every chapter of Li'l Gotham stands on its own so don't be afraid to pick this one up even if you've never read a Li'l Gotham in your…
It's a Wednesday full of endings as Kyle Higgins says goodbye to Nightwing, Li'l Gotham ends for good, and the 2nd act of Zero Year reaches its conclusion. Here’s the full list of review comics out this week, March 12th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation: The Anticipation Scale NOcenti – A comic I downright…
I woke up to an unsettling email this morning from ComiXology, and wanted to pass it along in case you all consume digital comics as well. ComiXology discovered a security breach, stating that an unauthorized individual accessed a database that contained usernames, email addresses, and encrypted passwords. As a precaution, they are requiring that all…
"Arena" is that rare sequel that far exceeds the original. In fact, it might be the best issue of Batman/Superman so far. Yes, long-delayed Annual is directly connected to the 3-part video game-themed storyline (Game Over, Boss Fight, & Endgame) that had Mongul using gamers and plants to take over the world or-- it doesn't…
It's John Layman's final issue of Detective Comics and the conclusion of the "Gothtopia" saga. Scarecrow concocted a "Contentment Serum" that made everyone in Gotham so happy it was as if they were living in a utopia. Why did he do this? Because the level of fear you get from an individual who knows only…
I came into chapter 6 skeptical after all the delays and the slow build-up of the first few issues, but I must say that all of the setup from Forever Evil and Justice League (if you didn't read the Crime Syndicate origins, you should) is all paying off now. Big time. If you read the…
The Bat-family and Super-family duel, Nightwing's fate is revealed, writer John Layman says farewell to Detective Comics, and much more is in store for Bat-fans this Wednesday! Here’s the full list of review comics out this week, March 5th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation: The Anticipation Scale NOcenti – A comic I downright dread…
The Batman/Superman & Worlds' Finest 4-part crossover event continues and, in my opinion, takes a nose-dive in quality. It might be a good time to eject, float gently to the ground knowing you saved a few bucks, and fly with Batman/Superman again when the title embarks on a different adventure. NOTE: You will need to…
Jae Lee returns as artist and the Worlds' Finest teams of two different universes meet for the first time in "First Contact" Part I, which is released the same day as Part II. Having read both, I'll give you my thoughts on Batman/Superman #8, an idea as to what you should expect from Worlds' Finest…
I always loathe when "There's a new __Name A Villain_ and this one's worse than the original!" or "_Name A Villain__ has a Father/Mother/Daughter/Son you've never heard of and they're a villain now too!" and there's a lot of both of those elements at play in issue #28 "Corporate Raider." Fortunately, this somewhat predictable Man-Bat story…
The original creator of the series is gone, the whole Calvin Rose epic that began with issue #0 felt like it was nicely wrapped up 2 months ago, the last issue that was also written by an all-new writer was utterly pointless, and now we have what appears to be a totally unnecessary 2-part storyline…
One of the best Batman artists working today, Ethan Van Sciver, rejoins writer Gregg Hurwitz for a 2-part Man-Bat tale that will serve as the grand finale of the Batman: The Dark Knight series that began with the launch of The New 52. This particular issue promises to be a visually stunning work that will make a fine…
This week we'll see the return of Lord Death Man, even more from the ever-popular Man-Bat, and begin a crossover that sees the World's Finest of Earth 1 and 2 meet for the first time. Here’s the full list of review comics out this week, February 26th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation: The…
Not enough people are talking about what happens in this comic! I know I've been getting a little more relaxed in the pace I release reviews. I think I deserve it after cranking out 4-8 reviews (clocking in at around a thousand words an article, this one's 1,900+ by the way) per Wednesday, but I…
