13 on Batman #103 reviewBatman #103 can be deceiving. The front half of the story contains some fast-paced entertaining action, which can make you think this is a solid book. But the moment you actually pay attention to what’s taking place, you realize that there’s a quality issue that will ultimately become pretty damning to the remainder of the…
…Argh. I’m going to try making this quick, because I don’t want to linger on this for too long. For the past several issues of Justice League, I’ve been having a great time reviewing the title. From The Garden of Mercy to Doom Metal, the comic has recently pivoted away from high-octane action, focusing more…
Catwoman #27 is monumental. No, there’s no major event in this issue. There’s no new character introduced that speculators will buy up in hopes to make a profit. There’s just twenty-two pages of confident, enthralling, and downright beautiful storytelling on display. Ram V and Fernando Blanco have been firing on all cylinders in this series…
Nightwing #76 addresses a number of interesting themes that fit perfectly with Nightwing’s current identity crisis plotline. Jurgens touches upon the juxtaposition of the mundane and superhero as well as the ability for these two worlds to exist with one another. Bea and Dick’s relationship is a highlight of Jurgens’ run, however, the plot takes…
Here we are, at the end of another Teen Titans run. It’s a weird time in comics right now, as we wait on events to wrap up, new ones to start, and look for news about what might happen in the wake of all these cancelled titles. For Teen Titans however, this looks like less…
So far, Death Metal has been hit or miss for me. The artwork throughout has been outstanding: I love all the character designs and the overall death metal-inspired aesthetic. I also like that there is this looming threat against the multiverse and that Wonder Woman is leading the heroes in an effort to overcome this…
Wherever you look, there are inspirational teams all around us. The Justice League. The Outsiders. The Titans… But how would you like the join the best team of them all? The Batman-News Comic Review Team. Well, here’s your chance. We’re looking for the next Casper, Matina, Michael, or Nick… and that person could be you!…
Tec is back on track. I said so in my last review, and I think that’s still the case here. While last issue focused more on introducing characters, stakes and story-threads, issue #1030 has more of a focus on character work that builds upon the stakes and story-threads from #1029. It makes for a really…
You know, Punchline is a character that I really want to like, but every time I try to dive further into the character, I find myself disliking her more and more. And I don’t mean in a “she’s such a good bad guy that I dislike her” sort of way. No, that would be a…
There’s a certain amount of silliness that’s inherent in various bits of popular culture. Comic books, for one, have a level of ridiculousness that we just accept so that we can proceed to enjoy the characters and stories. I mean, take a guy and dress him in a cape and tights and that’s goofy. Take…
DC Comics has ended its search for a new Editor-in-Chief, and it ended up not having to look very far. DC has announced that acting Editor-in-Chief Marie Javins will be taking on the role permanently. The announcement was made by SVP and general manager Daniel Cherry III on Monday. “Marie intrinsically understands the power of…
We have a light week this week. The Punchline one-shot is coming out, and I’m curious to see what the response is for it. Will it sell a lot, or will it just kind of flounder? I guess we’ll find out on Tuesday/ Wednesday. Also, the trader for Three Jokers is hitting shelves this week.…
There are only 70 original copies of Detective Comics #27 left in the world, and one of them has found a new owner. Auction house ComicConnect announced that it has managed a sale of a copy of Detective Comics #27 for $850,000. This is the second-highest price paid for the book with the record being…
A mysterious figure from Batman's past comes to Gotham to show the Dark Knight how it's done. But who is Ghost Maker, and what is he really doing here? That is the primary question left on the table by Batman #102, but is it worth the lead-up? You can't get there from here Whether he's had…
This book is a weird one to review. Recently, I’ve been very pleasantly surprised at the consistent level of quality we’re seeing from Justice League – especially when it’s serving the role of a tie-in to a larger event that I don’t have many positive feelings for. Joshua Williamson, Xermanico and Robson Rocha are telling…
Dear Lord, have I been stuck in a time loop for a year? When I began my review gig at Batman News, I had no ongoing books I was assigned to review. All I had were miniseries: Batman vs Ra’s al Ghul, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, Joker/Harley: Criminal Sanity, and Tales from the Dark…
So, here we are at the end of Young Justice. In the last two weeks I've reviewed final issues of three titles, and out of all of them I think Young Justice sends off its heroes most successfully. It still stumbles into the pitfall of trying to do a little too much, but it has fun doing…
In last month’s issue we followed some of our heroes to New Genesis and beyond, to meet with Metron and the other New Gods, in order to find out more about the cure for the Anti-Life virus. While that issue did advance the plot and ended on one hell of a cliffhanger, I thought the…
New week. New books. But… Honestly… Aside from DCeased and potentially an interest in Ghostmaker’s debut… Is there anything you’re actually excited for? Now, I don’t intend to be negative, however, the more I talk to people, the more I hear, “I just want to get to____.” It seems like more and more people are…
This is the penultimate issue of Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo’s Suicide Squad, and they don’t hold back from delivering some hard knocks! The Story Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo have delivered an insanely entertaining run on Suicide Squad! It’s a run that has been action packed, shocking, engaging, and even heartfelt. With the introduction…
