I've had this mammoth of a book sitting on my desk for about five weeks now, never finding the time to tackle its 647 pages until last night. I was sick of putting the task off over and over again so I stayed in to read the last 400 pages and the best complement…
I had a hard time reviewing this one. Batman & Robin is not the same comic it was one year ago. The Born to Kill Saga was compelling stuff with pathos. It was a father and son story that even took the time to delve into Bruce's past, but the tone of this series has…
If you want to see Batgirl kick some butt, you've come to the right place. Issue #13 is being marketed as a major prelude to the Death of the Family crossover event and its even been given a snazzy die-cut cover this week advertising the fact, but that's some pretty false advertising if you ask…
I like to think that I saw everything Batman did in Batman: Arkham City from the moment Bruce Wayne was abducted until Batman brushed past Gordon without saying a word. I believe that I did see everything because I was Batman. The only moments of lost time I had during my tenure as the Dark…
Comic Book Resources broke the news this morning in an exclusive interview with Ethan Van Sciver (well known for his work on Green Lantern: Rebirth, The Flash: Rebirth, and Sinestro Corps War) who will be taking over penciling duties for Batman: The Dark Knight starting with issue #16. This new story written by Gregg Hurwitz…
They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover...but this is pretty damn cool. I played with that thing for quite a while before I ever started reading the actual comic. That was a very fun idea for a cover so kudos to whoever came up with it. However, Snyder, Capullo, and DC…
It's finally here! This week marks the return of the Joker so expect Batman #13 to sell out and go to a 2nd printing almost immediately. Other Bat-titles are coming out as well, but expect to see them all overshadowed by the Joker showing his face...or lack there of. Here’s a list of all the…
I've been looking forward to this for a while now. I read the first 4 or 5 stories from the digital exclusive series Legends of the Dark Knight months ago. It comes out a little bit at a time--weekly installments. When the stories started to get longer and stretch across three weeks I decided to…
For the first time in a year of doing these reviews, I forgot to pick up a book. I've never had Batwing in my pull list because I honestly think that the moment I tell the comic shop to hold this book for me, DC will cancel it. The series has failed to stand out…
Change is good. The first week of the month has been one of my favorite weeks for comics but one of my least favorite for Batman comics, however I think all of that is about to change. Anytime new talent comes to a title you should almost always give that book a chance but few comics…
Fans of Batman's most vindictive villain shouldn't skip out on this one. Penguin: Pain & Prejudice collects not one, but two of the best Penguin stories in recent memory and it's available at a very fair price. Content I reviewed this five issue series when it came out in individual installments and it reads even…
Today is the anniversary of my first ever review for Batman-News.com and I wanted to take this time to thank you all for reading my thoughts on these fine comics. This all started when I was looking for comic reviews myself and found that many of the articles weren't written by a consistent author month…
Good news, we're back again to do another Break from Batman article! This month, Jennifer de Guzman of Image Comics was kind enough to send me a ton of Image Comics for consideration so I was able to broaden my comic-horizons even further and get the word out about even more great books. In case…
I hope you enjoyed the curious look back that was Zero Month because we're moving forward this month as many of your favorite Bat-titles hit issue #13 and yet another digital exclusive comic heads to print! This week Batwing faces a new enemy, Detective Comics gets a brand new creative team, and Legends of The…
This one might be a bit divisive. So I'll make your decision on whether or not to buy this easy: Do you like the campy characters from Batman Inc. Volume 1 (El Gaucho, Knight & Squire, Dark Ranger, etc.)? If so, then you'll probably enjoy this. If you didn't like all of those colorful characters…
Talon #0 is worth taking a gander at, especially if you loved The Court of Owls storyline from Batman. This review is going to be pretty short since I'm still away from home and barely found the time to read these books, but let me say that Talon has real potential. Of the four books…
The Bat-family hijacked the Teen Titans team book to bring you a Tim Drake origin story this month and it made for the best issue of Teen Titans that I've read so far in the New 52. It was exciting to read because Tim Drake has been all but forgotten in the other New 52…
These reviews will be short and sweet this week since I'm still in LA and don't have a whole lot of time on my hands. Basically there were four books that came out yesterday, I read them all last night, and now that it's 24 hours later I can say that this is how I…
As I type this, there's a packed bag and a boarding pass sitting on the couch across from me. Batman-News is going to LA. The premiere for Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 1 is this Monday and I'll be there to conduct interviews, take some pictures, and watch the film--which I will review soon…
2012: The year characters figured out Batman's identity just by looking at his face. This issue focuses entirely on Dick Grayson's Robin origin and leaves the Nightwing transformation for another day. It uses quite a few elements from the animated series, sets up the next storyline with Lady Shiva, and even nods to its previous…
