18 on Batman/Catwoman #2 reviewBatman/Catwoman #2 delivers more of the same, but that’s not always a bad thing. Non-linear storytelling, striking art, and a compelling, though still vague, mystery drives this month’s issue. It’s a delicate balancing act, but whenever Tom King’s script lags in plot progression or clarity, Clay Mann’s beautiful art picks up the slack and almost…
In my previous review I said that the creative team had lost me, but I also said that I was hoping that the creative team would be able to deliver a strong finale. Unfortunately, I don’t think that is the case. This series has had stellar moments, but I’m not feeling this final issue at…
DC Universe Infinite will launch on Thursday, Jan. 21, in the U.S., and we're finally getting more details of what to expect. Formerly known as DC Universe, DC Universe Infinite is relaunching on Thursday as a comic book only service with some significant changes to what will be offered, how fast it will arrive, and…
We’re moving on to week three of Future State, and I’m a little less excited moving into this week. While I enjoyed most of the first wave of Future State titles, the second wave left something to be desired. On top of this, some of these titles already have creative changes. (Yes, I’m referring to…
Do you know who we really like over here at Batman News? Batman. Shocking, right? You know who else we really like? Tom Taylor and Andy Kubert. Tom Taylor is easily one of DC's best writers at the moment and Andy Kubert has proven to be a legend in the world of comics. Considering that,…
You’ve heard the phrase “two great things that taste great together.” Peanut butter and jelly. Chocolate and peanut butter. Peanut butter and marshmallow creme. Peanut butter tastes good with lots of stuff, is what I’m saying. But it’s not all about food and taste, either, at least in the literal sense. Scooby-Doo and Batman are…
Ever since Damian quit being Robin, I’ve been on the edge of my seat wondering what DC’s plans for his future are, and at last we’re getting some answers. It turns out he's still Robin after all! Starting April this year, Damian will feature in a new solo series titled Robin written by Joshua Williamson…
If there’s one thing we can all agree of regarding the current crop of Future State books, it’s this: The Next Batman from John Ridley and Nick Derington rocks. It was a well-written, exciting look at a potential cyberpunk future for Gotham City, and Tim “Jace” Fox is a surprisingly compelling lead for the title.…
I’m trying to get a good read on the Future State event so far, and I have to say, I’m a little stumped. I’ve actually had debates with my coworkers about the nature of this event: while I’ve been honestly rather stoked at the chance to see characters doing something different within the DC Universe,…
When I first saw solicits for Robin Eternal I found myself pretty excited. Tim Drake and Stephanie Brown teaming up again on a high stakes heist to stop the Magistrate from using a drug to create immortal henchmen? It had me at heist, and again with the promised team up. It's just about everything I…
In this our second week of Future State, and so far I’ve found myself surprised by a number of titles DC has put out. As with many events like this some of them have been good, meh, and there’s even one title I stopped reading a few pages in. Overall though, I’ve enjoyed a lot…
It's a double feature! In this issue we have two full-length stories, one about Bruce and another about Grifter. That's bang for your buck, although it also means that it's going to be a little bit more expensive than monthlies usually are. So is the content worth the money? Let's have a look. DARK DETECTIVE…
And we’re on to week 2 of Future State. What title are you looking forward to reading this week? Or… Will you be opting to dive into some back issues instead? Alright, on to business. This week’s releases are listed according to our anticipation scale, with titles listed in alphabetical order within each sub-header. For…
For some reason, we got the 2021 annual in 2020… I guess DC just wanted to rush this out for a sales bump? Or, perhaps, they felt that waiting a few months would make the story come a little too late? Regardless, this issue features Clownhunter’s origin, and after reading it, I’m not sure it’s…
Disclaimer With the year of 2020 coming to a close and 2021’s new horizons fresh before us, I think that all of us were hoping for some respite from the chaos of the last twelve months – but recent events have served to remind us that things don’t get magically better overnight, even with the…
Generations Shattered #1 plays like a greatest hits record that attempts to indulge in nostalgia and also forge a fiery narrative that struggles to not buckle under its own lofty aspirations. I don’t think it succeeds. There’s a lot of talent on the page, but this eighty page behemoth never justifies its existence beyond giving…
After six core issues and a ton of tie-ins, we arrive at #7, the conclusion to the Death Metal event. Though I’ve praised and enjoyed parts of the story, I’ve also been critical of it. I think that many of the tie-ins were quite bad, slowing the core story down and sometimes outright contradicting it.…
Ah, Harley Quinn. A character for whom I’ve never really had much genuine disdain, but who has nonetheless exhausted my patience these past 7 years or so. Since I began reading comics in 2013, I’ve seen her everywhere. You can’t throw a knife at a con without piercing at least 12 cosplaying Quinns, and DC has…
Well, hello 2021! We’re kicking the year off with Future State, and while I know there are plenty of nay-sayers out there, I’m actually a little excited to see if there’s anything fun or worthwhile in these stories. Are you picking up any Future State titles, or will you wait to see what the general…
So, I’m starting to suspect that people think I don’t like Dark Nights: Death Metal. Honestly, I’m not sure what gave it away. Do you think it was the consistent 5/10’s I gave to books others have considered to be the best parts of the series (Speed Metal, The Secret Origin)? Could it have been…
