10 on New 52 - Justice League of America #5 reviewI had a lot of fun reading this issue. It's loaded with smash-through-the wall fight scenes and groundbreaking revelations that will lead us into Trinity War all sprinkled with Kirby krackle. Now, the big thing we were all talking about at the end of last month's issue was the death of Catwoman. She got shot…
You have to ask yourself: Am I the kind of comic reader who is willing to buy a book for the artwork alone? If so, then Batman: The Dark Knight #21 is absolutely a must-buy. Ethan Van Sciver has been away for the past two issues and he also missed the annual but he came…
As usual, Injustice: Gods Among Us is fun to read but not too pretty to look at. Look, with the video game already out for, what? Two months now? It doesn't feel like reading a prequel comic to the game is going to be worth your time, but in all actuality this is quite entertaining…
It's a really exciting week. Really exciting. The origin of Shazam completes, a new series teaming up the Dark Knight with Man of Steel begins, Bane builds an army, the Mad Hatter gets his long-overdue just desserts, and then Catwoman is causing all kinds of drama both alive and dead. Batman Inc. may have been…
Talk about not being new reader friendly! Issue #17 of Batman Beyond Unlimited features the final chapter in Superman Beyond and Justice League Beyond, period. And as for Batman Beyond itself, that's a penultimate chapter so basically if you haven't read a single issue of Batman Beyond Unlimited before you shouldn't buy this. If you…
Issue #18 of Batman Beyond Unlimited will feature a short story about a new Batgirl hitting the streets of "Neo-Gotham" but until we reach that point this is no longer something that new readers should dare go near. We've passed the event horizon on this thing. The stories being featured are all in their climax…
We've reached the bargaining phase of Batman's 5 stages of grief and it's Batgirl's turn at the plate as the latest guest star. In addition to all of that it was also hinted in the last issue that Carrie Kelly would be showing up more and Two-Face would also rise up as the newest threat…
By order of the Court of Owls, Calvin must find and kill the rogue talon Strix or else his loved ones will die! Because you asked for it, I'm reviewing this week's Birds of Prey #21. This issue marks the first crossover between the mediocre Birds of Prey and the fantastic Talon series. I imagine…
I was very excited to see Hugo Strange on the cover. I love that villain. I was particularly thrilled with how he was utilized in the Arkham City video game until the ending [spoiler] Having him turn out to be a pawn of Ra's Al Ghul was an unnecessary twist. The game was a brilliant…
Today on Batman News, I talk about Batman Illustrated, Vol. 2, an anthology of Neal Adams' work that was originally released in 2004 but only now comes to you in the more affordable softcover format. Content Foreword by Neal Adams & Introduction by Dick Giordano You'll come for the comic books, but stay for the essays.…
We’re voting for our favorite cover from the year 1941! Keep in mind that you’re not voting for what cover was the most important to Batman history! This isn't a poll to see which comic was the most important milestone. So even though I add some fun facts with a few of these, don’t let…
It's actually a fairly light week. Catwoman and Justice League have been pushed back a week and I don't typically review Birds of Prey or Batwoman so that leaves only 3 titles up for review-- yes, Red Hood and the Outlaws is now part of the review-rotation. Here are the review comics coming out this…
This special Break from Batman is made up entirely of reviews for current and classic Superman comics and graphic novels. You're a lifelong Batman fan who has never questioned loyalty to your favorite superhero. You might have even made fun of Superman fans from time to time saying that the character is boring or dated…
It's time to head back into the miserable world of Barbara Gordon again. There should really be a tagline on every issue that just says "Abandon Hope, All Ye Who Enter Here." This issue concludes the 2-part Ventriloquist arc and it's really good to see that someone out there is doing short arcs. I would…
Well, it sounded like a really great premise. Hugo Strange sends his Tyger guards into Wayne Manor, a scenario that would add greater depth to the Arkham City DLC challenge maps that featured the Wayne family home as well as the Batcave. Regretably, we spend the first half of this book wasting our time with…
Zero Year begins and I'm happy to say that all the talk about it being something we've never seen before isn't marketing hype BS. I read issue #21 early this morning a little wary about every page-turn, afraid that some major change to the mythology might ruin it for me forever. But when it was…
If you already know the story of how Bruce and Talia met, be it from Batman: The Animated Series, Batman #232, frequent flashbacks during Grant Morrison's run, etc. then you don't really need to pick this up. Just take out the kidnapping of Robin and you have a good idea of what's in this book.…
Damn you, Brett Booth, why did you have to leave this title? Just like the last two issues, Nightwing looks fantastic, there's lots of energy, and a great deal of fun to be had. It's just a really good series to be reading right now. Both writer Kyle Higgins and the art team are delivering…
Well, this is the last time I'll get to take the easy way out with my Li'l Gotham Reviews. When the series first came out digitally I was reviewing each and every one but when it was announced that it would go to print I put the kibosh on all that and decided to wait…
Issue #2 of Li'l Gotham collects the digital-first Christmas and New Year's Eve specials. I enjoyed both of these and reviewed them earlier this year when they were originally released on comixology for a dollar a piece. So, yes, you're actually paying a buck more for the print version but I find it more satisfying…
