3 on New 52 - Batwing #23 reviewThis series is on a roll when it comes to covers. The most recent 3 covers by Ken Lashley have been among the best from any bat-title. But does the content within measure up? First of all, what's going on with Bruce Wayne's Batman Incorporated? (Batman Inc. finale spoilers ahead) Something that's always struck me…
The score you see for Batman Zero Year: The Director's Cut #1 is the same score from Batman #21. Coming up with a grade for a regular comic book is already bothersome enough so I took the easy route on this special edition. Batman Zero Year: The Director's Cut #1 is a reprint of Batman…
It seems to me like Lobdell exited the wrong book. While I found both volumes of the New 52 Teen Titans to be abysmal, author Scott Lobdell's Red Hood and the Outlaws was one of the most fun Bat titles that I could find. With Volume 2 I was a little put off by the…
Around the time I reviewed this series last graphic novel everybody was bemoaning how sad it was that the Teen Titans comic book couldn't capture the same sort of magic as the Young Justice TV series. Now Young Justice has been replaced by Teen Titans Go! and this comic series still chugs along month after…
You have 3 weeks to vote and I’m dividing the poll into four parts. It’s only the 4th year of Batman’s existence but he’s already showing up in a whole lot of books and we need more polls to fit all the options. Part one decided the best World’s Finest cover of 1942 and now…
In case you missed Part 1 of Trinity War or loved it so much that you want even more, that book is being re-released in a Director's Cut that features the original pencils and full script. As for new stuff, we have yet another Trinity War tie-in, Batman fights the Wrath, Lady Vic makes her…
Here's a question I'd really like all of you to answer: How many titles is too many for one person to read in a month? Or maybe I should ask how many titles you read in total each month? Ever since I started this Break from Batman thing I've tried to read as many titles…
Following the events of this summer’s crossover “Trinity War,” a dark shadow will be cast across the DC Universe. This September, all of the DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 titles will be replaced by Villains books. What happens when the heroes of the DC Universe fall and there’s nobody left to stop the villains from taking…
Issue #7 breaks new ground that was untouched by the video game. It also illustrates a few distinct differences between the two universes that collide so that the idea of many of our heroes acting so out of character is more forgivable because these aren't the heroes we know after all. At first it just…
Unlike today's Batman Annual, Detective Comics Annual features not one but three short yet interconnected stories. And while Batman Annual started out as being from the perspective of a supporting character but quickly switched back to Batman, Detective Comics Annual is actually more about Jane Doe and Harvey Bullock than the Dark Knight! I wasn't…
Yes, I really do think that this is the weakest issue of the New 52 Batman series so far and here's why... First of all, the cover by Jock is awesome. It's so damn gritty and moody and you just look at it and know you're in for something heavy, but unfortunately you're not. And putting…
This is one of those reviews where I know that what I write definitely isn't going to affect anyone's decision. If you've been following this story from as far back as the Batman & Son days or as recently as the death of that son then you're definitely going to buy this comic no matter…
I was a little bored at first and the entire premise of man's evil coming from sinful spirits is too hokey for me to suspend my disbelief but by the midway point of this issue I found that I was enjoying myself. Is it a necessary part of the Trinity War storyline? Probably not. You…
Grant Morrison's Batman epic comes to an end, we get a few pricey annuals, another installment in a really entertaining video game tie-in, and more from Trinity War. Also, Batman #21 gets reprinted as the first of the Zero Year Director's Cut which features Capullo's original pencils and the full script by Scott Snyder for…
There was no downtime after the Matt Kindt interview. In fact, I was actually supposed to interview James Tynion IV first but things were running late on DC's end and the schedule got switched around a bit. Now I was set to be Tynion's final interview of the day. I had to talk to him…
After my interview with Chris Burnham I had about two hours or so before I would need to head back to the DC Comics booth for more interviews. In that span of time I lost the tiny pieces of paper with my handwritten questions and I tried in vain to hear the audio from my…
Not long after the interview with Kyle Higgins and Christos Gage it was time for me to speak with Batman Incorporated artist Chris Burnham. The problem was that I had tried to listen to the audio from my previous sit-down and heard absolutely nothing after the press handler introduced me to Higgins so at this…
While at San Diego Comic-Con last week I had the opportunity to sit down in the DC Comics booth with some talented creators for 10 minute interviews. These talks took place in a roped off section of the floor surrounded by press handlers on the outside and furnished with modern-style black tufted chairs on the…
LATE REVIEW EDITION Attention Batgirl fans: Go buy this. Batman Beyond Unlimited #18 is well worth purchasing for the Batgirl Beyond story alone. It's fantastic. The Batman Beyond bit at the end is pretty forgettable, but this entire Undercloud arc has really been a disappointment and ended Adam Beechen's run with a whimper instead of…
The title is called "All Sorts of Fun" and I think that's exactly what you'll have when you buy this comic (I imagine every reviewer is going to have some variation on that line, just watch). Talon is a great series to follow but there have been a few bumps in the road ever since…
