10 on DC: Love is a Battlefield #1 ReviewRoses are red, violets are blue, I'm sick of poems, and I hope you are too, because that's as far as I think I'm taking that bit. It's that time of year, folks! Love is in the air, romance is a-brewing, and this 80 page Valentine's Day special gives us a peek into what it…
So far, Future State: Dark Detective has been a mixed bag. The main Bruce Wayne story has some outstanding moments, but also hinges on a couple of strange writing decisions, including a glaring plot hole (when everyone assumes that Bruce is dead because they found a body in the river that vaguely resembles him). That…
At this point, everyone and their mother has a different opinion on Future State – and while I still ultimately like the change of pace, I can’t deny the validity to a lot of people’s complaints. There are a few standouts throughout each time period the event is trying to portray, but the way they…
Last month's issue of Future State: Robin Eternal ended right in the middle of Robin's attempts to stop a transport of dangerous Lazarus Resin from reaching the Magistrate. With Tim Drake now soaked in the Lazarus Resin he was trying to destroy, he's got a whole new host of problems to deal with. Mainly the question…
Well, here we are, two months into Future State, and I’m curious to see what you guys think of the event so far. For me, the interest and excitement that come with its initial newness has worn a bit, and the whole thing isn’t quite as shiny and fascinating as I had hoped going in.…
I’m sure a number of you noticed, but we had a new person, Cam, join the review team and debut last week with his review of Man-Bat. He jumped right in and nabbed a title before we got the chance to properly introduce him. So… I’m here to introduce him! But… He’s not the only…
Hey everyone! I’m Cam, one of the new guys on the Batman New Team. I'm still reeling from somehow making it through a comically tragic series of clerical errors very long and very grueling application process, but I’m super glad to be on a team full of wonderful people who love comics just as much…
Spoiler alert: I thought this comic was alright! Normally I tend to give my final thoughts at the end of the issue, but I think it’s important to preface this review with my ultimate opinion. In my review for The Next Batman #1, I praised the comic for its wonderful artwork, smattered across a selection…
Will Harley be able to help former Scarecrow Jonathan Crane take down Black Mask? Will she get released for good behavior? Will any of this matter the second you put the issue down? SPOILERS AHEAD A bland future For all of the aesthetic changes brought to Gotham by Future State, there hasn’t been much new…
We’re in week… Umm…. Look, I’m going to be honest. I've worked 23 hours in the past two days at my day job... I don’t even know what day it is right now – they’re all blending together at this point – so I definitely don’t remember what week of Future State we’re in… We’ll…
Maybe it’s because I’ve come to not expect much from Future State, but I found myself really enjoying one of these two stories. I’ll be honest though, there isn’t much depth to either of these stories. Both rely heavily on spectacle and the nostalgia of seeing these fringe characters from the omniverse, but one, in…
The Sandman Audible series is coming back for two more seasons that will take listeners deeper into the story of Morpheus and his family. Audible has renewed The Sandman audio adaptation for two additional seasons. Dirk Maggs will return as the director and Nail Gaiman will again narrate as well as serving as creative director…
This issue offers a quick and easy read, and though it isn’t without flaws, there’s a lot to like here. Gene Luen Yang writes Superman well. I love that Superman takes the time to listen and talk to a teenager that was going to take his own life, and I love that Superman stops to…
We’re back for another issue of Batman: Black & White. I always find myself eager to read these issues because I feel as though the stories focus on the core of what the character is and represents, without feeling the need to change the status quo or be the next big thing! Plus, you can…
On October 10th, 2019, a nervous 21-year-old finished tapping his fingers away at his keyboard, and uploaded his fifth review to Batman News: a critique of Joker/Harley: Criminal Sanity #1. I remember the comments well, as it was the first review of mine to receive somewhat negative feedback! As someone who was relatively new to…
I enjoyed the first issue of Future State: Dark Detective. I was looking forward to the continuation of both Batman and Grifter's stories in #2, and was slightly disappointed to find that the Grifter story isn’t in this issue, though it will likely pick up in #3. What we’re getting instead is a Red Hood…
The more that we dive into Future State, the less eager I am in wanting to read the titles. No, nothing has been completely terrible, but many have just been mediocre at best. I feel like I gave everything a shot, and now there are probably two or three titles total that I will pick…
Thanks to my job, I don’t really have the need to buy physical DC comics anymore. Week to week, everyone at Batman News is given access to the latest the company has to offer, which is an insane privilege which I feel grateful for every time I boot up my computer. It gives me the…
I’ve been making my way through all of the new Future State stories and while many have been enjoyable, most are marred by a surplus of exposition as they attempt to establish the world they take place in. Thankfully, Future State: Nightwing #1 features one of the better balances between character and world building even…
Future State: Catwoman #1 is one of the best books to come out of DC’s latest initiative. Ram V’s script is perfectly paced and engaging. The world building is more nuanced than most other Future State books and Otto Schmidt’s art delivers the goods when it comes to both spectacle and delicate character moments. Even…
