10 on New 52 - Teen Titans #18 reviewHey, so this review article is pretty late, huh? As some of you may already know, I went to NYC this week to visit the DC offices and stomp around Manhattan. It's Saturday, I'm back in St. Louis and I'm ready to sit down with Teen Titans #18. As you can tell by the cover,…
I'm writing this as I pack for my trip to New York so forgive me for being brief, but Batman Inc. #9 was a bit of a cluster***k of ideas. We're constantly weaving in and out between scenes that happen immediately after Damian's death, his funeral, the Knight's funeral, Jason Todd's capture, and a couple…
We'll be doing things a bit differently this week and by a bit I mean a lot. I will be going on a grand adventure and likely won't be able to get these reviews posted on Wednesday. Not unless I get some advance copies on Monday, but if that happens I'll be sure to come…
I just got back from day 2 of Wizard World St. Louis, the first ever Wizard World comic book convention this city has ever seen. It's still open tomorrow, March 24th, if you're in the area and want to check it out. More info about ticket prices, guest stars, and events can be found here.…
Last night Warner Bros. officially launched the highly anticipated Batman Classic Television Series licensing program, inspired by the classic DC Comics 1960’s Batman television show at Meltdown Comics in Hollywood, CA. Batman himself Adam West was at the event, as well as many celebrity Batman fans. I've added photos from the launch party in the…
The final issue of Scott Lobdell's Red Hood and the Outlaws is without a doubt his best. First let me get to the bad news. This comic has diddly squat to do with Damian. It may say "REQUIEM" on the cover, but this is 100% Death of the Family aftermath. Even Arsenal and Starfire aren't…
Not the usual cover is it? It's so dark and rather understated compared to the Batman Beyond Unlimited designs of the past and it would lead you to believe that this is a very heavy read. Well, in the case of Batman Beyond it actually is, but when it comes to Superman Beyond and Justice…
With so many reviews to go through I might be getting a bit more blunt as the day goes on...but this kind of sucked and was really short. Granted, I haven't read any of Birds of Prey after the first volume and the Night of the Owls tie-in but even then the series was never…
Talk about starting a new arc with a bang! The newest Batwoman story sees her back in Gotham and fighting none other than Mr. Freeze. How did Freeze get out of Arkham? It's not addressed, nor is it ever brought up in today's Birds of Prey where Victor is also wreaking havoc. As for which…
With so many reviews to do today I honestly don't know why I went with Catwoman first. Maybe to get it all over with? Maybe because last month's issue was actually bearable so I was feeling hopeful? Who knows. Either way, the first thing I was greeted with was shoddy lettering and a terrible Batman…
Awesome cover, eh? Shame Cyborg doesn't have his own book yet. The guy has easily been one of the most important members of the team in every arc so far. He has total access to all the world's intel, he's incredibly powerful, and he's basically the Justice League's bus. The boom tube effect is a…
I wasn't going to do a JLA review this week but there was simply too much Scarecrow and Catwoman in it for me to ignore. It's also just a damn good comic that I enjoy reading anyway so I might as well say a little something about it. And by a little something I mean…
With 8 Batman related comics up for review today I'm going to try and keep all articles at around 300 words in length. I think if I went for the usual 1000-2000 word piece it could very well kill me. So here we go. Short and sweet: First of all, you're probably wanting to know…
After feeling like I was in the minority for my appreciation of the fun that was Suicide Squad Volume 1 I feel like I sunk right down with the rest of the crowd with Basilisk Rising. The laughs and surprises just weren't there this time around and the bad guy left a lot to be…
I'm thinking I might just have to say "Screw it. I'll review everything this week." Here’s a list of all the Batman comics coming out this week, March 20th graded on a scale of my own anticipation. Hell no! – I’d rather not – Ambivalent – Interested – TAKE MY MONEY Scroll…
So going into this I had a pretty good feeling that it would be better than Volume 1. I liked Volume 1, those stories didn't quite resonate with me as monthly issues but it worked really well in trade format. Looking back at The Villain's Journey, I felt as though I enjoyed those episodes more…
It's a step down in quality from Volume 1 to Volume 2 for Catwoman, but if you've seen the recent issues by Ann Nocenti then Judd Winick's final arc will read like the works of Bill Shakespeare. Content Volume 2 collects issues #7-12, wrapping up the last of Judd Winick and Guillem March's year-long run…
This was alright. It had its moments and features some attractive and exciting artwork. Seeing as how the 2nd Azrael isn't going to be showing up in the New 52 anytime soon this is pretty much your only opportunity to see that character in action ever again. Other than getting one more adventure with Azrael,…
I can't say I cared much for this one and now that this short 2-part story is over it definitely looks like it was all little more than filler. It's as if we were supposed to get a Barbara vs. James Jr. arc but that simply wasn't possible so instead that concept was merely teased…
I suggest you read Batman & Robin before reading this one. Batman's emotional state flows better if you follow that order. However, a side-effect of following that sequence might be that with Batman & Robin #18 being totally silent, Batman #18 could come off as looking really wordy by comparison. But...Flipping through the book a…
