  • Multiversity: Teen Justice #6 review

    Before I begin talking about this issue I would just like to apologize and hold myself accountable for misgendering Kid Quick in my last review. Thankfully a fellow editor was able to correct the mistake but I shouldn’t have assumed that I knew their gender and especially when there are so few nonbinary characters it’s…


  • I Am Batman #15 review

       I Am Batman takes a leap into uncharted territory and becomes a much more exhilarating read. I’m a bit hesitant due to the fact that I Am Batman always seems to have an intriguing moment where everything looks like it’s about to get better only to go back to the same sludge of repetitive…

    Ever since Batman Inc. returned, someone has been hunting down each one of Batman and Ghost-Maker's former teachers! While the evidence points a finger at Ghost-Maker, several other suspicious players begin to make their moves.

  • Batman vs. Robin #3 review

    Batman vs. Robin #3 runs like clockwork, efficiently setting up an easy to track sequence of events that deliver fun action while also digging into the core dynamics of the Bat family. Art duties are split between Mahmud Asrar and Scott Godlewski, who both turn in solid work without a noticeable shift in quality. However,…

  • Sword of Azrael #4 review

    At this point, I’ve come to expect that Sword of Azrael will be a good read each month. After last issue left us with the reveal of the monstrous “Angel Satan” I’ve been eagerly awaiting the follow-up. So, does Azrael retain its luster for the fourth month in a row? Let’s see! Okay, I won’t…


  • Batman/Joker: the Deadly Duo #1 review

    Batman/Joker: the Deadly Duo, is written and drawn by Marc Silvestri with colors by Arif Prianto. The conceit of the story is that Batman and the Joker must work together to save Harley Quinn. Sound’s interesting in concept but does it work out in practice? Let’s see! Joker fatigue is real and many people have…


  • Gotham City: Year One #2 review

    Intrigue is possibly the most important aspect of a detective story, and Gotham City: Year One #2 certainly delivers. In my last review, I said that while it took a while for the story to grab me, there were enough hooks to keep my interest for where the story would go. The second issue is…


  • The Joker: the Man Who Stopped Laughing #2 review

    I was pretty lukewarm in my review for the start of The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing. I don’t feel fatigued by the titular character as others do, but I wasn’t very intrigued by the initial set up for this run either. Will this issue change my mind and give me the exciting twists,…


  • Poison Ivy #6 review

    This is it. The issue I’ve been waiting for since the Poison Ivy series began. The issue that will answer the question, is Ivy a hero or a villain? What direction does DC want Ivy to go in next? Will that direction disappoint? Well, I unfortunately have to say that it does disappoint. How could this…


  • Dark Knights Of Steel #8 review

    After a long prelude, the war for the three kingdoms finally begins! Hippolyta, Amanda Waller, and the newly crowned Queen Anissa meet face to face on the battlefield. Although, the growing tension between the armies shorten the discussion and edge them all closer to mutually assured oblivion. Medieval politics have not been the same after…


  • Batman #129 review

    Failsafe has taken over Gotham. The Bat Family and the JLA are defeated. Batman is hiding out in Atlantis, trying to come up with a plan. I was not very impressed with the previous issue because it was presenting a scenario that’s been done over and over again, just with different villains and conflicts. I’ve…


  • Interview: Marc Silvestri talks about Batman/Joker: the Deadly Duo

    As the reviewer of Batman/Joker: The Deadly Duo I recently had the pleasure of interviewing writer/artist Marc Silvestri, a legend in the comics industry. We had a great chat which I’m excited to share, so let’s get right into it! _________________________________________________________ I’ve read some of your early Cyber Force work and the difference in art…


  • Upcoming Comics: November 1, 2022

    Welcome back to Upcoming Comics! ...So, slow news week, huh? Okay, listen. I've seen a lot of comments about James Gunn and how he'll influence the DCEU. I've also seen a hilarious report that said David Zaslav approached Kevin Feige first, which is very funny to me. Realistically, I don't care much either way. Way…


  • Tim Drake: Robin #2 review

    Tim Drake is trying to forge his own path in the Gotham Marina, away from Batman, trying to find out what life could be like if he didn’t have to worry about being Robin. While trying to build a relationship with Bernard, an evil genius in love with detective stories keeps pulling Tim Drake back…


  • DC: MECH #4 review

    Amid the chaos happening in the wider universe, it is always nice when the story can settle down. DC: Mech #4 does it's best to bring the narrative closer to home before things get far worse. At this point in the monomyth, the characters go through a period of self reflection. After Kal-El crashes into…


  • Batman: The Audio Adventures #2 (comic) review

    Welcome back, readers! In our last adventure, the illegitimate scion of King Scimitar sold out the Batman after a salacious sword heist. Strangely, the shadowy stalkers wanted to negotiate with our hero, rather than attempt to fight. As the Dark Knight stares down the menacing masked assailants, they share the mysterious truth behind their mission.…


  • Batman: Fortress #6 review

    Last month Batman and his team discovered the location of the Fortress of Solitude (again), so here we are to see their attempted break-in. Thankfully this issue isn’t as offensive as the last one but it’s certainly not changing my mind about the series. Let’s get into it. Once again, Fortress flounders because it has…


  • Batman: Gotham Knights - Gilded City

    Gotham Knights has been out for about a week ago, and I gotta say- I'm having a blast. The story is heartfelt and interesting, the characters, while a little different than their comic book counterparts, are well-written and heartfelt, and the gameplay, while definitely a big change from the Arkham series, holds its own and…
