11 on New 52 - Justice League of America #4 reviewWith issue #4 hyped to be the big reveal of the Secret Society of Super Villains, you can be sure that there are quite a few New 52 firsts that happen in this comic. And while not all of the Secret Society emerges from the shadows to introduce themselves, those that do should excite old…
I'll keep this short and sweet since this book came out at the beginning of the month, but I figured I should write some little something what with the series double shipping this month after a 7 week delay from March to May. Issue #3 is a gate-fold cover coming out way behind everyone else…
If you try and buy every bat-title coming to comic shops this week, your wallet's going to get hit hard. Very hard. That's because most of this week's books are Annuals priced at $5 a pop! So it looks like it's my time to shine then, as I imagine most of you will want some…
Witness the resurrection and all new status quo for Talon! Surprisingly, this issue is actually a pretty good jumping on point for new readers, especially those who have been eyeing this series after all the Bane-hype. But I can't stress enough how fun of a series this has been from the start. If you haven't joined yet,…
Whoever writes the cover copy for these books should be slapped with a rolled-up newspaper. "PULLED INTO DARKNESS BY THE MAD HATTER" it says, and that might be okay if the vibrantly colored image this text accompanied wasn't Batman being pulled into the lit Batsignal, which is the biggest and most famous LIGHT in the…
How to explain the craziness of Batman, Inc. #11... Well, it's a filler issue. I should say that first and foremost. It has nothing--absolutely nothing--to do with the story we've been following for the past 10 issues and could easily be skipped. It's instead a comic that would've fit far better in the Pre-New 52…
Judging by the cover, this looks like a big but predictable Justice League vs. Despero fight, right? Well, there's way more going on here than you might suspect. In fact, it's vital reading for fans of Justice League and Justice League of America (a very important read for that crowd) and a giant leap toward the…
Volume 1 of Duane Swierczynski's Birds of Prey was a tightly knit espionage thriller that I enjoyed, so I don't know what the heck happened between that and this! Your Kiss Might Kill is the very definition of half-baked, made up of ideas that are never played out to completion drawn by artists who never…
After seeing how popular Batman proved to be, DC not only made sure to include him in every issue of Detective Comics from this moment forward, but they gave him his own series in the Spring of 1940 in addition to his appearances in Detective Comics! Since the number of comics to choose from is…
There are quite a few Bat-titles coming out this week and two of them were voted by you as the MOST WANTED. Batman Beyond Unlimited, Li'l Gotham, and Teen Titans are getting thrown to the wayside, however. I'm lightening my load a bit so I can get to other things-- plus I've already reviewed Li'l…
DC Comics has released the first look at Batman: Zero Year, an epic and grand 11-issue arc that chronicles the untold details of Batman’s origin story within DC Comics' New 52. From the #1 New York Times bestselling creative team of writer Scott Snyder and artist Greg Capullo, Zero Year kicks off next month in Batman #21. “He becomes…
Issue #20 "Flying Blind" is exactly what I needed today. The comics I've read so far this Wednesday have been pretty disappointing, but Nightwing is time well spent. For starters, this comic does a fine job of picking up where the last one left off,even the aftermath of the horrifying torture scene is addressed, but…
As you can tell by the score, I obviously don't recommend Batgirl #20. In fact, I pretty much hated it. Gore, magic, eidetic memory... there's a pretty long list of things I don't enjoy seeing in a Batgirl comic and they all show up here. When it comes to the artwork, there's nothing spectacular to…
I was so certain that when Tynion took over this book we would have something really amazing on our hands. Talon is loads of fun and, besides the Batman/Superman team-up in the last two issues of Batman, I have enjoy enjoyed his backup story contributions immensely. But his first arc in Jason Todd's comic seems…
There was way, way, way, way, way too much going on in this story for me to follow it across 12+ months of all-too-brief Batman Beyond Unlimited issues and I'm sure many of you either got lost like I did or didn't even touch this thing until it came out in trade. Well, the wait…
10,000 Clowns has been released in 3 different stages: a few pages every week online, printed in the Beyond Unlimited anthology series for a few pages more once per month, and all together in this printed trade paperback. If you were patient enough to wait for the trade paperback (15 months), then you made the smart decision!…
We're starting to see some noticeable delays this month. Issue #3 of JLA missed WTF month and wasn't released until last week, Batgirl missed its usual 2nd week release and will instead be coming out this Wednesday, and Justice League, which usually comes out on the 3rd week (but has suffered delays in the past)…
Easily the fringiest of the fringe Bat-titles is All-Star Western, starring odd couple Jonah Hex and Amadeus Arkham. Although it takes place during the 1800's, I take the time to review the graphic novels of this series because it's set primarily in Gotham City and often times adds new information regarding the history of Gotham…
THIS SUMMER BATMAN WILL FIGHT HE-MAN That's right! This morning it was announced that Eternia will clash with the DC Universe in a 6 issue mini-series by writer Kieth Giffen and artist Dexter Soy. DC Universe vs. Masters of the Universe begins August 28th and I've included the full announcement here: After narrowly escaping his last battle…
On June 5th, DC Comics will launch a new series titled "Batman/Superman" along with writer Greg Pak and artist Jae Lee. The new comic will take fans through the characters' earliest days together in the DC Universe "Our story takes place around the time of Grant Morrison’s ACTION COMICS #1. So it takes place when both…
