9 on Upcoming Comics: November 13th, 2013Video game tie-ins, Zero Year tie-ins, and Forever Evil Tie-ins. It's a week of tie-ins... and Li'l Gotham. Green Lantern Corps #25 comes out this week as well and it too is a Zero Year tie-in, but it's not a top priority for me and I'll get an article up about it whenever I have…
Alfred had a daughter? Thorne had removed Gordon from office and put Batman on the wanted list? Deadshot's son was abducted?! Holy tonal-shift, Batman! This collection of the villainous marksman's most memorable stories is a showcase of comics at their darkest as well as their most wholesome. We may begin with a gritty 1988 mini-series…
We've reached the half-way point in the latest Batman: Black and White mini-series and this time the talent includes such names as Damion Scott, Paul Dini, Marv Wolfman, and Lee Berjmejo-- but does it live up to the Eisner Award-winning standards that this title is known for? I found issue #1 to be a triumph…
A young hero-in-the-making is the one and only friend of a victim of constant bullying until one day something fantastic happens to the abused boy and he is given extraordinary power. However, unlike our hero, the power corrupts the bullied kid and he and our hero's relationship is forever changed. It's a common tale in…
As Superman busts-up incoming asteroids from above, Batman fights one of Clark's baddies named Metal-Zero (I don't know why we aren't just calling him Metallo anymore, nor do I understand how this was possibly the best character design the New 52 had to offer-- "Grid" in Forever Evil looks the way Metallo should). However, it's…
In this Zero Year tie-in we turn out attention to Jim Gordon and I couldn't be happier to see a story centered around ol' Jimbo. However, this look back to the Year One days features some changes that clash with what we've seen in previous New 52 issues and others that feel so minor and…
I look at the cover and I get excited. The idea of watching Lex Luthor convince Black Adam, Manta, and The Rogues to team-up sounds like a lot of fun, but issue #3 goes about it in such a lazy way that it's all surprisingly forgettable and I actually found myself enjoying today's Zero Year…
Gotham is mentioned maybe a handful of times, but other than that Action Comics #25 has little to do with Zero Year. Is that a bad thing? Not necessarily. While it doesn't add anything important to the Zero Year story in Scott Snyder & Greg Capullo's Batman, it's still a really awesome glimpse at Clark…
Diggle. If that name means anything to you then you're probably going to love every minute spent reading Green Arrow #25. It's a fantastic little glimpse at Ollie's first moments off the island and an even more wonderful introduction of a character who was first seen on the CW series "Arrow." Diggle made a brief…
There was no better sign that Trinity War, the much hyped DC New 52 event, was coming than the launch of Justice League of America. It's the book that really started to pull the DC universe together in a big way and with it being created by the same writer of the original Justice League…
Between 2004 and 2006, a dozen of the best artists were each given 48 pages of almost total creative freedom. Any genre, any style, any DC character, any wholly original idea all their own was possible. Within this massive tome you'll not only find several great Batman short stories, but a vast range of other…
Money talks! Despite setting the latest Batman arc at the very beginning of Bruce's career as a masked vigilante, Snyder's latest tale will still spawn a slew of tie-in books that will even include titles that don't star Batman characters! We're talking Superman, Flash, a Green Lantern, and other well known characters just happening through…
Below you'll find Batman News' exclusive preview of one of my most anticipated books of November, Batman: Black and White #3! This Eisner Award winning series continues with short stories by big name writers and artists such as Lee Bermejo (Batman Noel, Joker, Batman/Deathblow) and Paul Dini (Arkham Asylum/City video games, Batman: The Animated Series,…
It’s the end of the month and that means it’s time for us all to come together and take a break from Batman by sharing our favorite comics that took place outside the Gotham City limits. Here’s my own list of the best books that I had time to read and I encourage everyone to…
Dick Grayson returns to Gotham to pack up his things and officially make the big move to Chicago after racing off to the Windy City to track down his parents' killer a few months ago (at least in our time, it might just be a few weeks in Gotham-time). Helping him move is Barbara Gordon,…
With the new 4-part mini-series Damian: Son of Batman, Andy Kubert writes and illustrates the story that Bruce Wayne only caught a glimpse of when he foresaw a possible future in which the mantle of the bat was passed down to a child from the union of Wayne and al Ghul. Batman Inc. #5 may…
Poll #1 featured all World’s Finest covers from 1943 and now we're going to see what the best Detective Comics cover is, then 3 weeks after that we'll vote on Batman, and finally the best cover from each of those three series will compete against each other. Keep in mind that you’re not voting for…
The third volume in the adventures of a secret black ops group full of B- and C-list villains features even more Harley Quinn than before, gives Yo-Yo an origin story, and ties itself not only to the Death of the Family event, but books like Team 7, Birds of Prey, and Teen Titans as well.…
There are only 2 bat-comics out this week. One is an over-sized annual that deals with the relationship between Batgirl & Nightwing and the other is the start of an all new mini-series starring none other than Damian Wayne. Oh, and Death of the Family finally hits shelves! Here are the review comics coming out…
The third volume of Batgirl features the crossover "Death of the Family" in its title, but unlike another New 52 graphic novel that was released this month (Catwoman, Vol. 3: Death of the Family, which only touched on the subject for a single issue) the material collected in this hardback is impacted greatly by the…
