Realizing she's in over her head, Batwoman enlists the help of someone who has experience slaying beasts of Greek mythology, Wonder Woman. Together this all new take on the World's Finest travel the globe seeking answers and the location of Medusa before she has…
It's the final week of Villains month and it's filled with monsters. This week we'll be following the activities of Bane, Man-Bat, and Killer Croc as well as the Secret Society themselves but if you'd rather skip out on all of this Arkham War/Forever Evil build-up there's always Injustice: Gods Among Us! Here are the…
Ra's al Ghul has lived for hundreds of years and witnessed the rise and fall of empires. Some civilizations have even crumbled at his feet. So how does the Demon's head react to the emergence of the Secret Society of Super Villains? Writer James Tynion IV proves with this issue that he gets the character.…
The only thing I hate about this series is that it makes me want to watch a show that I can't find. As I read Batman '66 I hear Adam West delivering all of Batman's lines, Ceaser Romero's laugh, creepy Vincent Price delivering egg puns, and, of course, I can hear the trumpets blow with…
This is a tough one to judge because it's without a doubt one of the most important villain books you can buy, but it's not exactly a well put-together comic in my eyes. It's a real mixed bag of a tale that perhaps tries to do and say too much in too few pages. Scarecrow…
I was really impressed with Batman Beyond last month but Justice League Beyond's unwillingness to take risks and focus on Superman made dragged down the overall quality of the comic. This month, however, both books pull their weight and deliver a very entertaining read from start to finish. Power Struggle: Ghosts of the Past We…
We have seen quite a lot of Clayface lately. Batman's shape-shifting villain has had multi-chapter stories in Batman and Batman: The Dark Knight (which is currently an ongoing story with quite a few more issues to go) and he's had several cameo appearances in everything from Detective Comics to Justice League! So how exactly does…
"Bullies" by Frank Tieri and Christian Duce is a pretty satisfying Penguin story for those who loved Gregg Hurwitz's portrayal of the character back in Penguin: Pain & Prejudice. It doesn't try and tie itself into the larger Forever Evil epic at all, in fact Gotham feels even more normal (or as normal as Gotham…
It's finally here, the big poll to decide it all! What is the Batman News community's favorite Batman cover of 1942? We've spent the past couple of months voting for the best cover from World's Finest, Detective Comics, and the Batman series but now we pit those stunning covers against each other. Previous winners are……
Welcome to Villain Month week 3 where we will surely see the origins of such villains as Ra's Al Ghul and Clayface, but for a slightly different look into the past we have the Adam West inspired Batman '66 available as well. However, if you'd rather look to the future than the past then there's…
Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight was originally launched in 1989 to attract new readers flooding into comic shops after the release of Tim Burton's BATMAN. The comic picked up where Frank Miller's Batman: Year One left off and featured rotating creative teams that told short stories or 5-issue long arcs (my personal favorite being…
The latest issue of little Gotham has a parental theme with both a Mother's Day and Father's DAy special packed into one $2.99 issue that's sure to please both kids and adults with its comedy as well as its sentimentality. And, as usual, the watercolors by Dustin Nguyen are just as adorable as ever and…
Here we are at chapter 3 of Karen Traviss' Bookbinder saga, an arc that will close out the Arkham Unhinged series in November. If you didn't like what you read in issues #17 or #18 then you won't like what's here or anything else left to come from this title and if you haven't read…
It has very little to do with Zero Year and Scott Snyder didn't write it, but Batman #23.2 "The Riddler #1" is one of the best Villains Month books you can buy. Ray Fawkes (who is working from a story he crafted with Scott Snyder-- also, Fawkes' name is misspelled in the book's closing credits...or…
The Court of Owls stand out in Villains Month because the focus isn't on one single bad guy, but an entire organization that's been around for hundreds of years. How do you approach that for a one-shot? Well, if you're James Tynion IV, author of the ongoing Talon series, you tell 4 scary, short stories…
Quite simply, if you enjoyed the newer, creepier direction for Victor Fries that we first saw in Batman Annual #1, then you're going to find this comic totally worth picking up. But if you're from the group that thought it turned one of the most tragic and sympathetic characters into "just another psycho" then you…
Well, if Matt Kindt can't fix the New 52 Harley Quinn then I don't know who to trust anymore. I really had my fingers crossed for this one because last month I caught up on the fantastic series Mind MGMT and it's now one of my favorite books so with the man behind that title…
It's understandable to be hesitant about a $5 dollar comic book, but this is Batman: Black & White. This is a series that has a long history of excellence and I'm happy to say that this issue keeps that legacy alive with a collection of beautifully illustrated and imaginative stories that are funny, sincere, thought-provoking,…
It's Villains Month week 2 and we have Li'l Gotham and Arkham Unhinged coming out as well! Keep in mind that ALL OF THESE COMICS ARE NEW READER FRIENDLY except for Arkham Unhinged. Here are the review comics coming out this week, September 11th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation. Hell no! –…
This week, the comic book world was set ablaze with the launch of FOREVER EVIL. As highly anticipated as they are treacherous, the events of this miniseries promise to reshape the scope and characters of the DC Universe forever. Fans who have already picked up issue #1 know that the status quo of a world…
