28 on DC Universe relaunching in 2021 as DC Universe InfiniteDC has finally made it official and announced that DC Universe will transition to a comics-only service renamed as DC Universe Infinite. After months of speculation, DC made the announcement official on Friday morning. All of the series such as Titans, Harley Quinn, Stargirl season 1, and so on will be moving to HBO Max…
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch continue to deliver solid work with The Batman’s Grave. The Story The Batman’s Grave #10 continues to pull all of the various plot threads together as Batman sets his sights on Scorn to bring him down. I’ve seen readers complain that…
Alright, full disclosure: I hate Dark Nights: Death Metal. I hate Dark Nights: Death Metal. I’m not blaming anyone in particular for why I hate it – I’ve heard enough about the industry by now to know that even finishing a comic book on time is something of a thermodynamic miracle. But whether I attribute…
Detective Comics #1027 is an anthology to celebrate that this is Batman’s 1000th appearance in this title. Seeing as this book has over 100 pages and this review turned out longer than usual, I'm going to cut this intro short and jump straight into the review proper. Let’s have a look! "BLOWBACK" The first story…
While the last two issues of Catwoman were a fun enough diversion, I’ve been eagerly awaiting the start to Ram V and Fernando Blanco’s run beginning with this week’s Catwoman #25. Is it unfortunate that the first issue of their ongoing run is a Joker War tie in? Sure, but V does a great job…
The Teen Titans are over, disbanded by Batman. Even so, they still have one last challenge to face: dealing with the fallout from the failed secret prison, and their own guilt in being a part of it all. With two issues to go, I feel like the story should focus most of its attention on…
Batman #99 is supposed to be the penultimate issue of “Joker War,” but there’s nothing worthy of that classification. All this issue really is, are bloated exposition, villainous grandstanding, nonsensical speeches, and more regurgitation. The Story Oh boy, where do I start? Half of this issue is nothing more than the Joker having some ridiculous…
December solicitations were released last week, and there were some interesting details. We now have a glimpse of the month-long event, “Endless Winter.” We’ve got a slew of Death Metal tie-ins. There’s the Generations Shattered one-shot. Tom King and Clay Mann’s Batman/ Catwoman has finally been solicited. Batman: Black & White is coming back. Mark…
The future of the DC Universe service has been a bit of a mystery, but it seems we're finally going to learn what the plans are for it. Following the news that Doom Patrol has been renewed for season 3 and will move to HBO Max, there were a lot of questions about what will…
At long last, the wait is over: Tom King, Clay Mann, Tomeu Morey, and Clayton Cowle's highly-anticipated Batman/Catwoman will debut this December. Announced back in 2019, the long-awaited series will explore the ongoing relationship between Bruce Wayne and Selina Kyle, as told across three different timelines. In one of those timelines? None other than Andrea…
In most detective stories, there’s normally a point in the second act where the protagonist is reprimanded by a higher authority – on account of a crucial mess-up they might have made. Maybe the loose canon got too rough with a suspect, or the alcoholic private eye let his drinking get in the way of…
Take one of the world’s most popular fictional characters. Add in some of the comic industry’s most talented creators. Then present it all in glorious black and white. What do you have? Why, Batman: Black and White, of course. DC Comics have announced that the beloved anthology series from yesteryear is making a comeback this…
Considering this is the second-to-last issue of Batman & the Outsiders, I expected things to move pretty quickly… But I didn’t expect them to move this fast! The Story Batman & the Outsiders #16 delivers what we’ve been waiting for since the very beginning: the final battle with Ra’s al Ghul. While the confrontation itself…
There’s going to be a lot of talk about Nightwing #74 regardless of whether or not it’s actually a quality book. It marks a new status quo for Dick and the Bat Family, while apparently severing ties with many things that came along with the Ric saga. While I think there’s a lot of promise…
Despite being somewhat critical of Death Metal, I was enjoying the series. However, in my opinion the overall quality of the series has been going down. The fact that DC has announced an overabundance of tie-in issues doesn’t help, especially not when the tie-ins that are already out haven’t been great. This event is unfocused,…
We’ve got a light week this week. If you’ve been reading Batman & the Outsiders, then you have that to look forward to, otherwise, there’s you might out of luck. I mean, I guess if you’re on the Death Metal train, you’ve got the Trinity issue, but, I’m pretty much over events right now. I…
Alright, this is getting silly at this point. Justice League #52 is now the third pseudo-sequel to Alan Moore’s work that I’ve reviewed in a row! With this, Three Jokers and everything going on with Watchmen, you’d think DC is just desperate to milk every dollar they can from the jaded magician after hurting him…
DCeased has been such a fun ride, and it’s impressive how Taylor and his artists have mostly been able to maintain a high level of quality. These stories are fast-paced, concise, emotional and action-packed, and even though I was somewhat critical of earlier issues in the original series, it seems like this story is just…
This month Young Justice takes a break from stories featuring the full team and focuses on just two characters. Stephanie Brown and Tim Drake, team up to go after Spoiler’s nemesis (and dad), Cluemaster. The book starts out with Drake joining Spoiler in Central City, but quickly switches to Stephanie explaining how they got to…
Dear God, this is one wordy, mess of a book that tries way too hard to create a moment… It’s clear that I’m not a fan of James Tynion’s Batman. I just don’t feel that the quality of execution is there. That’s me. I know many people don’t share my sentiments, and that is ok.…
