3 on New 52 - Red Hood and the Outlaws #22 reviewOh what a difference an inker makes! In my reviews of the previous issues illustrated by Julius Gopez I've time and time again commented on how ugly some panels looked, but in issue #22 there are several pages in which Gopez leaves inking duties to Ray McCarthy and having an actual professional inker make the…

Catwoman #22 might be the worst issue of Catwoman yet and since it's the worst thing I read, that's really saying something. Selina Kyle is such a great, iconic character and I'm fed up with seeing horrible issue after horrible issue. This all started with issue #0 when Ann Nocenti came aboard back in September…
Issue #1 didn't send me over the moon as it did many others, but I did enjoy it. Issue #2, however, is a far more emotional chapter that resonated just enough that it's starting to make a believer out of me. The story is moving along at a rather slow pace, but there are some…
I think there were a lot of people ready to bail on this series after the Mad Hatter arc and I can definitely understand why but this issue was really good and I think you should buy it. Sigh. I feel a bit like I'm trying to tell you to give a friend of mine…
If you're a lifelong fan of Hellblazer/Constantine then I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock in my opinion here. I've only read the first issue of Constantine and while it was okay it wasn't good enough for me to keep coming back. This is more of a Batman-fan-curious-about-trinity-war's perspective on this book. I'm here…
Whenever I review a comic I always jot down little notes as I go along. Usually it's the things I find unappealing or confusing or maybe something more positive like the layout of a page or a character's line that made me laugh, but I know that things actually went really well whenever I finish…
LATE REVIEW EDITION I didn't have a chance to review this before I headed to Comic-Con, but I certainly hope many of you gave this new Digital First Series a chance last Wednesday. Wow! Talk about standing out from the crowd. If you feel like every bat-book is the same then you need to pick…
LATE REVIEW EDITION I was at Comic-Con last week so I didn't read this book until...ten minutes ago...ish. Seeing as how most of you have probably already made your decision as to whether or not you'll buy this one I'll keep things short and sweet. Yes, it's good. I never know what sort of quality…
CBR has an exclusive first look at the cover of Harley Quinn #1, which was announced last week at Comic-Con. Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti are teaming up to co-write the series, though they're still looking for an artist. So how will they decide on a new artist? Dan DiDio took the stage at Comic-Con…
This is the life model decoy of Andrew Asberry. The real Andrew is still in San Diego conducting Comic-Con business or he's missing or dead. All of this was written 2 weeks ago. Here are the review comics coming out this week, July 24th, graded on a scale of Andrew's own anticipation. Hell no! –…
The first volume of the New 52 Nightwing's adventures relied pretty heavily on readers knowing all about the Court of Owls storyline going on in Batman. This volume still requires you know a bit about The Court of Owls, but rewards you for your effort with the best Night of Owls tie-in as well as…
The time for preparation is over. Batman is done globetrotting and recruiting new agents for the war with Leviathan. The war is here in The New 52 Batman Incorporated and with a story that takes place primarily in Gotham City and focuses mostly on the relationship between Bruce and his son, this volume has more…
I know I said I wasn't going to do any reviews this week but I have a few minutes free right now, DC sent me JLA #6 early and I was able to read it before I left to catch my plane (I'm in LA now and I'll be in San Diego for Comic-Con from…
I have reviewed a lot of books since the battle for who owns Gotham ended. The Court of Owls' attack on Gotham City that dominated bat-comics for nearly all of 2012 felt like a distant memory when it came time to review Batman, Vol. 2: The City of Owls. So I went back and read…
This deluxe-sized edition is a celebration of all the Batman work that creative team Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso produced, but Azzarello doesn't get any credit in the title because this is about Risso's ink first and foremost. You'll quickly notice that all pages have been stripped of color to better showcase Eduardo's original work…
From now on I'm going to set this up to give readers 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. One part…
The annual Harvey Awards were announced this morning and the Batman series earned five nominations including Best Inker, Best Writer, Best Artist, Best Continuing or Limited Series, and Best Single Issue or Story. All voting is done by industry professionals but here is the complete list of nominees for you to discuss. Who do you…
This week promises a lot of variety, but sadly I won't be able to review any of these when you need them most. I'll be in L.A. on Wednesday before making my way down to San Diego for Comic Con. Here are the review comics coming out this week, July 17th, graded on a scale…
The review is a day late and I'm sorry for that, but chances are you were going to pick this book up no matter what anyway, right? Secret City: Part Two is an excellent continuation of what we saw last month. The plot doesn't seem to be moving very quickly, but I think that what's…
Always a good one for the kids an usually an enjoyable read for the grown-ups too, Li'l Gotham is back again and this time the holiday theme is St. Patrick's Day and Easter. St. Patrick's Day This one has a an unusually high character count for being such a green-themed holiday. There's even a surprise…
