98 on Batman #69 reviewIn this chapter of Batman, we get the return of naked Bane. I’m going to try my best to prevent from sounding like a broken record here, but after weeks of providing commentary on “Knightmares,” it’s becoming more and more difficult to do so when I’m forced to critically discuss a story that does nothing…
Impish behavior! Snarky starfish! DOOM! For the Justice League left on Earth, this is reality. But long ago, at the beginning of everything, we find the origin of our story. Perpetua makes a multiverse, in Justice League #22. SPOILERS AHEAD. MAYBE. So. Many. Words. James Tynion's "Legion of Doom" interludes occasionally surprise and delight me. Other times, they…
When I first became aware of Mezco, I wasn't that impressed. For one thing, I wasn't all that interested in collecting figures (of any kind). But beyond that, I suppose I just lumped Mezco's popular One:12 line in with the wide range of brands offering 6-inch figures with interchangeable parts. But boy, was I wrong.…
Reviews and the discussions they inspire are a big part of why readers visit the Batman News comics section. So an article in which all of our reviewers engage in a discussion about that week’s titles? Why, you’d think it’s a no-brainer! And yet it took several years for the idea to cross our minds……
The first half of The Batman Who Laughs (#1-3) has been terrifying, exciting, powerful and, above all, great fun. And the Grim Knight one-shot, which could be read as an interlude in the middle of the miniseries, blew my mind with its wonderful art and solid writing. Now we’re going into the second half of…
This arc may contain Batman’s “Knightmares,” but I can’t help but feel that they’re actually my nightmares. Tom King wraps up “Knightmares,” his self-proclaimed “arc of one-shots” with this issue. Based on that description alone, I’d hoped that we would get some type of zinger or reveal that would make this feel like an actual…
While I know I'm not alone, I was positively beside myself with joy when it was announced that Peter Tomasi was going to start writing Detective Comics. I've yet to read a single thing from him that I didn't at least enjoy, from his stellar work with Patrick Gleason on Batman and Robin and Superman…
Jason Todd: Gotham Businessman of the Year! After his hostile takeover of the Iceberg lounge from its worthless, waddling founder, the Red Hood is settling in for a quiet night of innocent club ownership. But a blast from the Caste from his past has other plans, and a brawl between manifold weirdos ensues. See for…
DC’s cast of colorful characters are nothing if not malleable. Years of creative Elseworlds stories, Batman Ninja, Gotham City Garage, Bombshells—I could go on, but you get the picture. So while I couldn’t help but laugh when I first saw Funko’s Primal Age line of ancient, warrior-clan DC action figures, I wasn’t really surprised. After…
Funko’s Pop! vinyl collectibles are a worldwide phenomenon, and even if you have no interest in comic books or other nerdery, you’ve likely seen them around and recognize their distinctive styles—even if you don’t know what they’re called. But Pop!s aren’t all Funko does, and they’ve seen great success with the Dorbz, Pint-Sized Hero, and…

Something is smelly in Boca Raton! While Superman battles his grayer, beardlier, handsomer, futurer self in a dark dimension, and Mera, Starman, and Jarro try to keep Mxyzptlk from unraveling the fabric of everything, the rest of the League is in the lap of luxury in their utopian future. But all that glitters is not…
The Trials of Harley Quinn continues in this month’s installment. It’s Harley’s third trial, and it involves creepy monsters, laser weaponry, hallucinations, a trippy encounter with something from outer space, and really good sequential art. If you ask me, all of this sounds awesome and it should make for a fun issue. But it’s not…

Heroes in Crisis? More like King in Crisis. This is definitely a Tom King book, and I don’t mean that in a positive way. That’s not to say that he’s a terrible writer. King has written many incredible comics. In fact, if I were to make a top ten list of my favorite comic books…
‘Old Enemies,’ the last arc of Batgirl, left plenty of loose threads hanging, so the last thing Babs needs right now is another distraction. Nonetheless, The Batman Who Laughs #2 saw the return of her psychopath brother, so it was only a matter of time before the siblings were reunited. In Batgirl #33, Mairghread Scott…
Last year the Guinness World Records recognized Action Comics as the longest-running superhero comic book series. This year Detective Comics no. 1000 pushes the title over the millennial milestone as well. Though both comics unfortunately had a short spate of being renumbered in 2011, DC editorial came to their senses and got the titles back…

Let’s be honest, Nightwing is better now than when DC started this whole Ric Grayson stint, but it’s still far from great. On the surface, this story might appear to be decent, but when you start digging in, it quickly falls apart. And no, Joker’s Daughter definitely doesn’t help. Two huge problems continue to plague…
If you've ever been to any flavor of Comic Con, then you know that there are a few universal truths. For example, one cannot throw a disparaging glare without hitting a Harley Quinn. One also cannot throw a Harley Quinn without hitting some manner of vinyl collectible. Funko's Pop! line is clearly the favorite in…
