9 on New 52 - Catwoman #19 reviewSo I was reading the comic and about midway through my phone chimed with an email alert. I read the email and then figured I'd browse around the web a bit. After about a half hour of that I made myself something to eat and started reading Justice League, then He-Man #1, and after that…
It's a solid issue that portrays Batman surprisingly well. Not only do we spend quite a bit of time in the batcave, but we see Red Hood and Alfred discussing the recent events of Batman Inc. and we see a Batman who is level headed and acts as concerned friend toward Superman and Wonder Woman. The opening…
Issue #19 may be the beginning of a new creative team's run but it's not the fresh start that many new readers were hoping for. First thing's first, what happened to the awesome cover? Not only did artist Mico Suayan's interiors get thrown out but his original cover featuring a heavily scarred Jason Todd was…
Did you read Alan Moore's From Hell and think "Man, this is really great but it needs fewer annotations and more Batman. A LOT more Batman!" Well I have good news for you! Gotham by Gaslight is considered a Batman classic and one of the finest Elseworlds tales ever released. Originally published in 1989, Gotham…
After the Fire is yet another DC/Wildstorm crossover getting the Deluxe treatment. Originally published in 2002, several years before their magnificent Joker graphic novel was published, Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo's three-part team-up tale possesses the pitch-perfect atmosphere and attitude that a great Batman comic needs, but sadly it also has a story that's a…
This would be a really busy week if I reviewed everything and that's why I don't! Starting next month (when there finally isn't a big crossover or even like this "WTF/Gatefold Mont" thing) I'll set up a poll where everybody votes on what books they most want to see reviews for so be on the…
It doesn't matter if you don't know who the Planetary are, this Wildstorm/DC Crossover is must-reading. The only problem is that it's way over-priced. Content Here we have one of the books included with the goodie bag I received from my trip to the DC Comics offices a couple weeks back. And if you're wondering…
There is a school of thought out there that Batman's rogues gallery is the very best because each villain is in some way a perverse incarnation of Batman himself. Batman & Red Robin #19 is terrific evidence of that because in this single issue we see that a Bruce Wayne who has been pushed over…
What's with all the supernatural stuff in my Batman comics lately? At first the ghostly business was confined to the last 2 month's worth of Legends of the Dark Knight but today we will see not only DC's version of a classic movie monster and a Will-o-the-Wisp, but apparently Clayface is now made from a…
Gail Simone returns to Batgirl and delivers an issue with a lot of big revelations and gruesome action (seriously, why is the Batgirl series so damn violent?), but I wasn't fond of the way James Jr. was portrayed. Things are about to change for the Batgirl series. Anyone who has been a fan of the…
Issue #13 collects material that's actually quite old and was likely postponed a good long while from going to print because of one panel in particular. The very week that this story went online as a digital-first comic it coincided with the release of The Dark Knight Rises and, regrettably, the Aurora, Colorado massacre (and MAN…
Bruce pulls a gun on someone, Batman's teaming up with a new ally, and Batgirl finally faces off against her crazy brother in this month's gatefold Batman comics! Plus, if you're looking for something outside the New 52, you can also enjoy the first printed issue of Li'l Gotham which is incredibly kid friendly and…
The remarkable Carmine Infantino has died at the age of 87 (1925-2013). What would the comics you read be without Batgirl, Barry Allen, Black Canary, Animal Man and so many others? What would the landscape of the DC Universe look like if not for the Silver Age that Carmine Infantino pioneered? And what of Batman,…
All aboard! JUMPING ON POINT ALERT Never read an issue of Batwing before in your life? You'll do fine here. As long as you know what Batman Inc. is and that there is a representative in Africa you'll be able to follow along. You won't know exactly why Batwing is beating up certain individuals or…
What in the... what in the heck did I just read? It started off alright, got weird in the middle, and then ended with a panel that made me say "What was the point of any of that?" Legends of the Dark Knight began incredibly strong but these past three issues have stumbled quite a bit.…
You probably saw the $7.99 price tag and thought "I better check on the reviews first." Well, it's good. It's a fun read and absolutely worth buying if you've been keeping up with Laymnan and Fabok's run from the start. If you haven't and are just curious about the title because it's the milestone 900th…
I didn't get a chance to finish any graphic novels this month. I started on The Shade during my flight to New York but I found it hard to care about a character that couldn't die and was having an adventure mostly for the sake of having an adventure. It's sort of the same reason…
Originally called WTF month until DC realized that maybe "WTF" stands for something that's not suitable for a product heavily marketed toward children, April brings forth an event that spans across all 52 titles. Every comic this month released by DC under the New 52 brand will feature a surprising gatefold cover. I like it.…
Issue #3 of this series reigns things in quite a bit and isn't as shocking as the previous two issues but let's face it, those two copies are hard to top. We saw major character deaths, the leveling of entire cities, and heroic characters lose control. So now what? Now that the DC Universe as…
Hey it's Andrew here with another late review. These are quite a bit more relaxed since I know fewer people are going to read them and I can just let the stream of consciousness flow. So, Batman: The Dark Knight #18. What did everybody think about it? I thought it was okay. Not really bad,…
