39 on New 52 - Batman #24 reviewAt 64 pages, this isn't a comic book, it's a novella. And while the $6.99 price might sound high at first, I assure you it's well worth every penny. Issue #24 is an important milestone for the New 52 because it showcases not only the birth of the Batman, but his arch enemy as well…
It's the conclusion to what's definitely the best arc of the Kyle Higgins' Nightwing so far, but it also wraps things up a little too quickly and a little too neatly. When we left things off 2 months ago, Prankster had henchmen causing chaos all over town and he had even turned the entire city against…
Batgirl is a dark comic where a variety of awful things happen to our heroine in every issue, but no installment was as brutal as part one of Batgirl: Wanted. In that chapter we saw Ricky, the boy Barbara had just started dating, racing to save the life of his brother but along the way…
If you haven't been following the DC Universe event Forever Evil then this comic might come off as a little strange to you as it casually mentions that the moon is permanently eclipsing the sun, Batman is missing along with the rest of the Justice League, and every inmate from Arkham and Blackgate has apparently…
We've reached 1943 and it's time to start the poll for cover supremacy anew. Poll #1 will feature all World's Finest covers from the year followed by a poll for Detective Comics, then Batman, and finally the best cover from each of those three series will compete against each other. Keep in mind that you’re…
This is going to be one exhausting day. Not only do we have the beginning of the massive Arkham War event, but in Batman we'll actually see the birth of The Dark Knight and possibly the Joker, Batgirl is on the run from the police, and Nightwing is teaming up with Tony Zucco to stop…
As you can probably tell by the awesome cover by Jason Fabok and Blond, this book is almost entirely action. When you pit Batman against Wrath AKA The Anti-Batman, all the toys get brought out and we end up with an explosive finale full of mech-suits, tanks, jets, and more. If it feels like the…
Batman: Black and White returned in grand fashion last month with a first issue that hit all the right notes to deliver visual storytelling at its very finest. This is a series that has a long history of excellence and the premiere issue kept that tradition alive with a collection of tales that were funny,…
The Justice Leagues are all dead and every supervillain has been unleashed upon the world. It's a new world order and the Crime Syndicate, an evil incarnation of our universe's heroes, is in control. Last issue, the Crime Syndicate savagely beat Nightwing and then exposed his identity for all to see. What other horrors are…
The month-long hiatus caused by Villains Month reminds me how much I wish DC would implement a recap page at the front of every book. When Batwing's armor began to malfunction and the assassin Lady Vic cast our hero off the roof of a Gotham skyscraper it was August 7th. Now it's October and we…
It's Jack Kirby's Kamandi meets Moebius meets manga meets Heavy Metal and everything else colorful and awesome. It's Battling Boy, Paul Pope's first original graphic novel since the excellent Batman: Year 100 and it's the focus of this month's Break from Batman. The opening pages of Battling Boy are taken directly from this summer's The…
Villains Month is over (I never was clear on whether or not it was "Villain's Month" or "Villains Month"... seemed to be typed different everywhere I looked) and it's time to get back to the regularly scheduled stories. Hopefully it will be a month of filler-free comics to make up for-- what I believe was--…
In a month full of so many filler comics, Injustice: Gods Among Us #9 really shines. Here is a book with a purpose, a story to tell. In last month's issue-- which I highly suggest you read first-- the world was under attack by the armies of Apokolips and Kalibak himself (a character I'd like…
Back in July I announced that I was done writing reviews about Ann Nocenti and Rafa Sandoval's Catwoman series until the book had a new creative team and Joker's Daughter #1 is written by Ann Nocenti. I reviewed Nocenti's run starting from the revival-by-cat-licking origin story all the way through the demon possession and finally…
It's very similar to last November's Arkham Unhinged #8 and it has a lot of the same flaws as that comic as well. First off, the cover by Patrick Gleason looks pretty cool in my opinion (even if he drew Croc with only 3 fingers and a thumb) and once again you have to applaud…
It's not really Secret Society #1, it's more like Owlman #1 or Outsider #1. But while it doesn't offer a whole lot in the Secret Society department it does give us a glimpse at what's sure to be a pretty big part of the next issue of Forever Evil and plenty of interesting things to…
It's highly likely that you'll spend more time reading this review than you will reading the actual comic because this book is a lightning-quick read. In the spirit of that, I'm going to try my hardest to keep my own review short, but seeing as how I almost always hit a thousand words... Does it…
The architect behind the upcoming Arkham War event, Peter J. Tomasi, gives us his last Villain book of the month and it's about one of the most popular Batman villains of our time, Bane. Another cool thing about this issue is that it's illustrated by Bane's original co-creator, Graham Nolan. But is it actually a…
Someone has sabotaged a U.S. naval weapons test and sparked a war with Atlantis. Now it's a race against the clock to not only find out who is responsible for the attack but to rescue the countless innocent lives that are in danger as an enraged Atlantis begins to sink coastal cities into the sea.…
No, his costume isn't the coolest and yes it is a title that cashed in on the success of The Court of Owls arc from Scott Snyder's Batman but trust me, this book will exceed your expectations and be 100% worth your time and money. Content Talon, Vol. 1: Scourge of the Owls is written…
