This issue starts off really strong and ends strong but I found everything in between to be rather lacking. I will say that now is probably going to be your best chance to jump on board this title if you never have before. Another opportunity like this won't come around for quite some time. Justice…
What can I say? It's a drastic improvement over previous issues because this comic actually made sense. I wouldn't go so far as to call it interesting or memorable in any way, but at least I didn't feel like slamming my head in a car door a few pages into it. Nocenti's quirky style is…
Greg Pak and Jae Lee are behind an all new Batman and Superman team-up book that will debut this June. The story will follow Batman and Superman at the beginning of their careers. USA Today broke the story earlier this morning and Twitter follower @KyleLofton brought that report to my attention, so thanks for that! My…
This was one of the shortest reads I've experienced in a while. I actually found myself flipping back to make sure I hadn't skipped over any pages. I don't even think it took 10 minutes to get through but I think a big part of that is the artwork, which is definitely not good. There…
Death of the Family is over and all of the Bat-titles that took part in the crossover event are going back to business as usual. All of them, that is, except for Nightwing. Of all the members of the batfamily, no one got hit harder than Dick Grayson. I would argue that even Batman himself…
Whooooooooaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Although The Throne of Atlantis storyline wrapped up a lot sooner than I expected it definitely went out with a bang. Aquaman #16 Recap Now, I never got around to reading Aquaman #16 until a couple of days ago but in that issue we found out what became of Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman…
I wasn't exactly sold on the idea when it was first announced but the characters DC had assembled is so non-traditional that it did peak my curiousity. It sounded like a slightly improved version of Justice League International because now instead of getting Batman and a group of D-list heroes we're getting a more balanced…
DC's official blog The Source was cool enough to send me some preview images of tomorrow's JLA #1 to share with everybody. An official press release came with the email as well with Geoff Johns and David Finch's own insights on the upcoming series. I've already read JLA #1 and you can read my review…
This week we have an all new Justice League series starring Catwoman, the original Catwoman series starring someone that looks like Catwoman but acts like they've been huffing fumes, and there's plenty of "Death of the Family" fallout coming our way as well as some Beyond universe stuff! It's a week of endings and beginnings.…
Jonathan Glapion, the inker of Batman since issue #1 recently announced on Facebook that he will be leaving the title. So Long Bat fans you've all been very kind to me. Not exactly the most moving farewell address in the world, but I'm crestfallen none the less. There has been no official announcement from DC…
We're on a roll here people! Tomasi's hot! Hot! Batman and Robin #17 is yet another terrific issue that's brimming with delightful character moments. Who needs another super villain plot when you can get something you never see in the other bat-titles (especially right now): The characters acting happy! READ THIS COMIC AFTER BATMAN #17…
The solicits I saw for this week's Upcoming Comics article were wrong and now is indeed the time for Ray Fawkes to begin his two month stint on Batgirl. As you'll recall, there was a big controversy in which Gail Simone was fired via email. Her fans rallied loud enough that DC brought her back…
I'm feeling rather tuckered out after writing the massive 6,700 word The Dark Knight Returns review and today's Batman #17 so expect for the rest of today's reviews to be pretty short and to the point because this guy needs a break from Batman. Batman: Arkham Unhinged continues to improve in quality with issue #11…
Let me just say right now that while I'm going to try and hide as many spoilers as I can, if you're definitely going to buy this comic no matter if I give a 1/10 or a 10/10 then you should just hold off on reading any reviews until after you've read the comic for…
It's not as uneventful as the Thanksgiving special, but I found Li'l Gotham #5 to be quite skippable as a Holiday Special. In case you forgot, this Thursday is Valentine's Day and like the previous 4 holidays we get a fun, chibi-style Batman story available online to help us celebrate. The story this time around…
It's the end of Death of the Family. That's pretty much all you need to know. Call ahead to your comic shop and make sure they have your copy of Batman #17 ready because this thing is going to sell-out quick. If all the other comics that come out this week are good then that's…
To Drown the World tried to go for the non-linear narrative but failed. It was really disorganized and with the month-long gab between each issue I simply couldn't keep track of what was going on in the story. And since Batwoman is basically a bat-title in name only I decided to "trade-wait" this title. So…
Volume 4 is a rather sloppy finale to the No Man's Land saga. It never quite builds enough momentum and often repeats plot points over and over again verbatim because the story was told in multiple titles that are all collected here. That gets pretty annoying pretty fast. However, volume 4 also features some of…
ComicBookResources had quite the exclusive yesterday with their big interview with DC Comics Editor-In-Chief and Bob Harras and Editorial Director Bobbie Chase. In the interview we learned that a few books will be getting scrapped this May and that some of our Bat-titles will be getting annual issues and entirely new creative teams.

Well, it turns out that there are quite a few…
