18 on Batman Zero Year will lead to another crossover eventEven though writer Scott Snyder had originally planned for Zero Year to stand on its own, he stated today in an interview with the New York Post that he will let a few other bat-writers in on the fun in a month-long crossover event this November, much like the events we saw with Death of…
Batman & Robin switches release dates with Nightwing, Zero Year Begins, the magical lady Ventriloquist kills some more people, and I spend a day writing about Superman comics! Here are the review comics coming out this week, June 12th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation. Hell no! – I’d rather not …
First there was The New 52 with its relaunch of all new #1 titles in September 2011, then came Zero Month the year after that, and now we are getting Villain’s Month! Below is a complete list of all 56 DC Villain's Month titles. Forever Evil #1 Forever Evil: Rogues #1 Forever Evil: Arkham War…
Batman: Black and White is one of the best anthology series that the Dark Knight has ever had. The series was originally published in 1996 as a 4 issue miniseries and then it was revived in 2000 as a backup to the ongoing Batman: Gotham Knights comic. But this September, DC will release an all-new…
"Shadows and Ghosts" is an alright issue, but nothing you necessarily need to rush out and grab unless you're a particularly big fan of Harper Row. It's merely a brief stand-alone issue that comes before the upcoming Wraith arc. Still, it's a solid issue for Harper even if fill-in artist Scot Eaton tends to draw…
I am very excited to talk about these stories. The first one alone makes the book worth buying and the second is just icing on the cake. Plus, it's it features the best stories Catwoman or Scarecrow have had in quite some time. Must buy all the way. You don't really need to read anymore…
One month later, I'm reviewing Legends of the Dark Knight #8 in a special super-short article before jumping into this week's Legends #9. Of course, you don't need to read any previous issue of this series to enjoy the next! They all stand alone. I just felt like writing some little something to warm-up. "Carved"…
I really wish DC would stop with the cover copy. Batwing #21's cover is bad-ass and it would've looked a heck of a lot better without "THE WRATH OF LION-MANE!" crowding its way into the image. So we open the book up and remember that Lion-Mane is in no way as big as he looks…
I'm going to give a brief review of issue #20 before jumping into this week's Batwing #21 review. I think all the Batwing fans should appreciate that. Anyway, Batwing #20 is a terrific jumping-on point for this series as you get to experience the brand new creative team of Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray (they…
DC Entertainment promised to take digital comics to the next level in an announcement made on Tuesday night. DC2 is a new initiative that layers dynamic artwork onto digital comic panels, adding a new level of dimension to digital storytelling. DC2 Multiverse technology allows readers to determine a specific story outcome by selecting individual characters, storylines and plot developments…
Batman and Robin, Vol. 2 has what is probably the most macabre looking cover to ever accompany the title "Pearl." This volume also happens to be, in my opinion, the low-point in an otherwise terrific series. Content Pearl collects issues #0, 9-14. That means you get: So why "Pearl"? My thoughts exactly. The pearl in…
Once again, we're voting for our favorite cover from the year 1940. I've taken the winner from the first half of our poll (Batman #1 triumphed with well over 50% of the vote) and thrown it in here to duke it out with these other fine covers. Keep in mind that you're not voting for…
First there was The New 52 with its relaunch of all new #1 titles in September 2011, then came Zero Month the year after that, and now we are getting Villain's Month! In Villain's Month, all 52 titles will get a ".1" issue with the series' main villain as the new, temporary headliner. For example,…
Batman/Superman may have been pushed back to the end of the month, but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of all new storylines to check out this week! Detective Comics is beginning a whole new story that appears to be a done-in-one comic, Batwing is very new-reader friendly since the new creative team is trying…
Now's that time when we all come together and talk about the most enjoyable reads of the month! I even included a couple of graphic novels that I think everyone should pick up! Punk Rock Jesus Vertigo This is the book I'm currently forcing on all of my friends. We've all had movies, books, or…
Judging by the books opening pages, you'd think that this would be another god-awful issue like pretty much everything else that we've seen since September, but it actually gets much better. Let me be clear: it gets better but I still don't recommend that you buy it. Ann Nocenti's Catwoman run is a risky buy…
Hey, it's that book I said I wasn't going to review this month! Well, I had to review the Annual anyway so I went ahead and read this one so I'd be able to follow along. Turns out, reading issue #20 wasn't totally necessary for grasping the complexities of the Catwoman Annual, who knew? If…
Some readers like an annual that's a stand-alone, done-in-one tale while others want it to be an extra long special that goes deeper into the ongoing story. If you're looking for an easily accessible, stand-alone story then I suggest you pick up Batman: The Dark Knight Annual #1. If you're wanting something that moves the…
I found the Dark Knight Annual to be a pleasant surprise. It starts off on Halloween night, that's right it's a Halloween special of all things! And the setup is a good haunted house trope that sees characters receive letters inviting them to a location on a dark spooky night, but when they get there…
After seeing this cover in the ads of nearly every comic book I read for the past 3 or 4 months I was eager to open this issue and just get the big reveal over with. Who is the new Batman? WHO? Would it be Jean Paul Valley? Dick Grayson? Terry McGinnis? Someone else entirely?…
