18 on New 52 - Batman and Robin #18 reviewTalk about heartbreaking! The only other time I was this glassy eyed by the end of a Batman comic was Neil Gaiman's Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? I'll tell you right now that this is an absolute, 100% must-buy issue. Not only is it an incredibly important comic to own because it deals with…
I don't think there's ever been a crossover event that's been wholly good. Whenever you bring too many cooks into the kitchen you're always going to end up with a less appetizing meal. In the case of the Night of the Owls you have a group of vastly different writers and artists coming together to…
With "Death of the Family" wrapping up last month, fans have been wondering what the next big Batman event would be. Today, DC Comics has the answer. Batman: Zero Year is an 11-issue arc that chronicles the untold details of the Dark Knight’s origin story within The New 52. Check out the full press release…
The final issues of the now canceled Justice League International are collected in Breakdown and while it's not a very good read or a decent send-off for these characters it at least sets up a few interesting plot points that will be explored in future DC titles. If you've seen the Channel 52 News segment…
I imagine the term "right in the feels" will be used a lot on the web among our community this week as we deal with the sad, sad repercussions of Batman Inc. #8. Here’s a list of all the Batman comics coming out this week, March 13th graded on a scale of my own anticipation. Hell no! –…
Jason Fabok is killing it! Detective Comics #18 looks great and it's a fun story but it would be a whole lot better if it didn't try so hard to tie into so many other titles and just focused on doing its own thing. I appreciate when the Bat-titles try to connect to one another…
It's hard to get invested in Batwing right now because I know that in the next couple months the series is getting new writers, a new artist, and there's going to be a completely different Batwing with an all new mission in life. I have been enjoying Fabian and Fabrizio's take on the character but…
We have one story that's as grounded in reality as it gets for a Batman story followed by two other tales that dive headfirst into the supernatural. It's an odd mix, that's for sure, and one of these tales is just flat-out bad making Legends of the Dark Knight #6 far and away the weakest…
For a little over a year now the series Arkham Unhinged has been going up online as a digital first and then collected in print copies that show up in stores a few months later. The story of Arkham Unhinged is based on the Arkhamverse, the Batman universe created by Paul Dini and Rocksteady Studios,…
Harbinger, Vol. 1 A powerful telepath travels the world finding teens with remarkable powers and brings them back to his secret school for the gifted. Sound an awful lot like X-Men? That's because it is... on the surface. But trust, me by the time you reach chapter 5 that notion gets thrown out the window…
Batgirl Volume 1 dealt pretty heavily with Barbara's lack of confidence and struggle to re-adapt to the cape and cowl again while pitting her against villains that reflected her own inner demons. Volume 2 continues that pattern but it goes bigger. Much bigger. Not only do we dig deep into The Killing Joke, but we take a…
We have an opening available! It's pretty much impossible for a Batman fan to not know what happened last Wednesday. Even if you like to trade-wait all your books you likely had the death of Damian Wayne spoiled for you by casually browsing the web, listening to the radio, or watching the evening news. Or…
Emperor Penguin and Batman finally come face to face, Batwing loses his armor, and we get three stand-alone stories outside of the New 52 continuity in this week's Batman comics! Here’s a list of all the Batman comics coming out this week, March 6th graded on a scale of my own anticipation. Hell no! – …
While many who frequent this site are very familiar with the most recent Boy Wonder I imagine that a great many casual fans who saw this week's headlines were a bit confused to learn that there were multiple Robins and surprised to find out that Batman had a son at all. To help get these…
While DC may have given away Batman Inc. #8's ending 2 days ahead of time, they did manage to keep one secret from fans for a good long while! Earlier today Buzzfeed broke the news that the covers DC had previewed for all upcoming March Bat-titles were all a facade to hide the tragic death…
Before we get into the comic itself let's take a moment to appreciate how cool this cover is. Ethan Van Sciver really put a lot of detail into this so take a few minutes to note all the mushrooms, the white rabbit holding a gun, the skull flowers, the Cheshire cat that is now a…
More than just a marketing gimmick, Injustice: Gods Among Us might just be the most awesome superhero comic you can read right now. Think Kingdom Come without Alex Ross' art but with more laughs, more shocks, and a way faster pace. Since this comic takes place within its own universe it doesn't have to abide by…
Even if you don't usually read Batman Incorporated, issue #8 is required reading. Like it or hate it, what happens here is going to resonate in all other Batman comics for (ideally) years to come. I tried to stay quiet about what happens in this comic all week. People have even been emailing Batman-News saying we…
Li'l Gotham has expanded to two issues a month and while we've already seen a Valentine's Day adventure this week we get a rather unexpected Lunar New Year episode. Very little attention is given to this holiday, however, but the story does maintain an Asian theme as Damian Wayne teams up with Katana in Gotham's…
All the buzz is around Batman Inc. #8 but we also get some trippy Mad Hatter shenanigans, and a follow-up to the mind-blowingly awesome first issue of Injustice: Gods Among Us! Here’s a list of all the Batman comics coming out this week, February 27th graded on a scale of my own anticipation. Hell no! –…
