10 on Tony Daniel leaves Detective ComicsTony Daniel announced on Facebook today that he will be stepping down: My Batman/Detective run is coming to an end. My final written (and drawn) issue is Detective Comics #12. I'll be producing the art only for issue 0. It's been a long and adventurous journey for me, but there are other projects in the…
For the first time in both the 5-issue pre-52 AND New 52 run of "Batman: The Dark Knight" we have a MUST BUY issue! With Gregg Hurwitz taking over writing duties, this book is finally readable. David Finch is a great artist, but a poor writer. Seeing him write this series was like watching Shaquille…
The Justice League portion of this comic really came and went. There's nothing noteworthy about it at all, which is a real shame since last month's issue set things up perfectly. The story was forgettable, it barely progressed at all, the entire Justice League seems to not know one another after working together for 5…
Batman, Robin, and company are barely in this issue at all and there aren't any shocking moments like there were in issue #1 but what it does deliver is the most important Talia Al Ghul story ever told. Chris Burnham is one of my favorite artists and he does a bang-up job on this issue.…
Paul Dini is the creative mind behind the Batman: The Animated Series television show, and most recently the Arkham Asylum and Arkham City video games. In a recent interview with SFX, Dini revealed that he has one last big Batman story in him. Here's what he had to say about his upcoming graphic novel: Yeah,…
SuperheroOfTheMonth.com is having a contest where you redesign any of the three following Batman villains to fit with the style of the film directors who DID NOT use them. Your options are: How do you think these villains would've looked in the other guy's movie? That's basically what this contest is all about. And I'm…
Here we have a massive 384 pager that features the opening chapters of Grant Morrison's Batman epic and presents them in the beautiful DELUXE format that's not only easier to read, but it really shows off the art in a way the monthly issues couldn't. Content Like I said, there's 384 pages of Grant Morrison's…
The week "Batman: The Dark Knight" gets a new writer and a new story that focuses on The Scarecrow, the Justice League learn more about their new enemy, and Grant Morrison tells the origin of Talia Al Ghul. Here’s a list of all the Batman comics coming out this week, June 27th, graded on a…
This was excellent. SCORE: 9.5/10 Alright, I guess you want me to elaborate. Well, honestly this feels like what the very first issue of New 52 "Nightwing" should have been: the start of a brand new era of Nightwing. He's laying his roots down in Gotham. No more venturing around the country, no more moves…
Issue #10 is one that's filled with some big revelations, plenty of action, and a creepy new villain whose actions have a profound effect on Catwoman. It's an issue that raises quite a few questions and if you do buy it, chances are good you'll be back again next month to find out what everyone's…
We may have had 4 stories for the price of one last month, but this time around the book came to stores 1 week sooner and the number of Beyond-goodness was shortened to 3. Still, not a bad deal by a long shot. This time around there's a lot of focus on character origins and…
This week: Batman Beyond history gets rewritten (that didn't take long, did it?), Catwoman & Spark take their relationship to the next level, and we finally get some plot progression on Nightwing's stolen eskrima stick! Here’s a list of all the Batman comics coming out this week, June 20th, graded on a scale of my…
My local comic shop opens at 11AM, but the chain store in the mall puts their comics on the shelf at 10 so I went there first and read "Batman" #10 in the middle of the store. That's how excited I was to read this. Of course, I put the book back on the shelf…
"All Snug in Their Beds" is a definite improvement and the opening fight and monologue is fantastic. While it's still far from being a must-buy comic for casual Batgirl fans, those who absolutely love Barbara should really enjoy this issue. There's plenty of action and heart and Batgirl's inner thoughts questioning the role of superheroes…
"Terminus: Scar of the Bat" tries to do too much when really it should have kept things simple. The idea of squeezing all the Robins into one issue and letting them interact with each other is plenty interesting enough. Hell, you even get to see Tim Drake! Remember him? He was the Robin that came…
Issue #3 takes the rivalry alluded to in the tapes you earn by playing "Arkham City" and throws them out the window in favor of something far less interesting. It also features one of the worst Penguin designs I've ever seen. It's as if the artists never even looked at what Penguin looks like in…
This Wednesday Batgirl gets a new foe, there's an all-Robin smack-down, Joker and Penguin's Arkham City rivalry is explained, and Batman shows a few owls just how plucked they really are. Here’s a list of all the Batman comics coming out this week, June 13th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation. None. –…
Issue #10 is one of the more readable installments in some time, but for a series called "Detective" where you'd think logic would prevail, very few events in this book makes sense. There's more action and detective work here than I've seen from this series since the Dollmaker storyline making it a real page turner…
Batwing's series is proving to be more of an excuse to see Batman in a 9th book each month rather than a comic in its own right. Issue #10 isn't a bad read, but it shows that the whole superhero of Africa premise is a misnomer.
Pirates, espionage, and ninjas are on the agenda. Here’s a list of all the Batman comics coming out this week, June 6th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation. None. – I’ll get to it…eventually – Eh…meh. – Bring it. – TAKE MY MONEY Scroll to the bottom of the page…
