26 on Justice League #16 review"Escape from Hawkworld" reaches its shocking conclusion! Martian secrets! Hawk secrets! Other secrets! All this, and maybe more secrets in Justice League #16. SPOILERS WILL SURELY FOLLOW This is not good With apologies to James Tynion, toward whom I bear no ill will, this is just not very good. This has been the story of Tynion's contributions to Justice League: his…
I always look forward to an appearance by John Constantine. [spoiler]Would’ve been awesome if he’d actually shown up.[/spoiler] Tom King continues to try our patience with his Nightmares arc in an issue called “Smoke and Mirrors” which is essentially that: a whole of nothing made out to be something, but proving immaterial in the end.…
If you’d rather read about it, check out the transcript below. Billy Batson is coming to the big screen in just a few short months, so it’s the perfect time for Diamond Select Toys to release their new Shazam Gallery—a sweet interpretation of the modern comics take on the original Captain Marvel. As with all…
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……
Here we are. The final issue of Suicide Squad. It’s not a secret that I have been very critical of this series since I started reviewing it, and even this book’s final arc—Rocket to Russia—hasn’t exactly received the most favorable reviews from me so far. With an extra-long issue to conclude Williams’s long run as…
The Batman Who Laughs, arguably one of the scariest new additions to Batman’s rogues gallery, has returned to Gotham City, and the mystery continues this month in issue #2. Those who have read my review of issue #1 know that I absolutely loved that one as it offered a fun mix of super-heroics, body horror…
Not as good as the GameStop-exclusive Manta, but still excellent. If you don't feel like watching the video, check the transcript and photos below. The Aquaman film is a smash success, and looks to be bringing in even more in the days ahead. Before the holidays, I looked at Diamond Select’s amazing GameStop-exclusive Black Manta…
Jason reaches the end of his journey into the Underlife, but his adventures are just beginning. Meanwhile, we check in on our other two Outlaws in what/where/whenever they are! All this, plus a blast from the past, in Red Hood and the Outlaws #30. Much better The past several issues have been the first major…
I’m going to get my big criticism of Peter J. Tomasi’s first arc out of the way up front and this is it: these issue titles are cracky at best, sorta schlocky at worst thus far. Last issue was “Ring Them Bells” and this issue is “See Paris and Die!” I don’t know if Tomasi…
Batman has broken free of the Scarecrow's toxins, but can he shake what he saw while he was under? Would Gotham truly be better without the Bat? Answers abound—from several quarters—in Batman: Kings of Fear #6, as the miniseries wraps up. It's a miserable life If you're just now checking in with this book, here's the…

Ric Grayson continues his misadventures in this week’s Nightwing #56, and before the current arc ever really gets going, it ends… Because, apparently, the book doesn’t have enough problems as it is. It’s no secret that I haven’t enjoyed Nightwing ever since Dick Grayson was shot in the head. I know some people are enjoying…
Starman heats up, and the Hawks get savage! At home and abroad, the Justice League is beset by should-be-allies! How will they get out of this mess? And what secret lies at the center of Thanagar Prime? Find out in Justice League #15! A good story, adequately written I feel as though I'm repeating myself, but…
This review was originally posted on Comics Now. A beat-up old pickup truck winds through the streets of Metropolis. At the behest of a pursuing police officer, the unseen driver pulls over to the side of the road. After a conversation about a busted taillight and the questionable safety of the vehicle, the officer demands…
There are two Batman (or Batfamily) books out this week that are high energy and with lots of forward momentum. While one is better than the other, they are both incredibly entertaining issues that will please fans of both properties. The superior issue, for the record, is Young Justice #1, which takes already high expectations…
Batman has bad dreams. This is one of them. Here’s the thing. I’ll be the first person to complain about boring rote fan service or books that don’t take chances (though I equally have no problem with “safe” stories done well). In a weird way this book irritates me less than, say, the now-notorious Batman…
Mondo has entered the collectible Batman figures game with a 12-inch Dark Knight inspired by Bruce Timm's artwork from Batman: The Animated Series. As a company, Mondo has a reputation for stellar posters and vinyl records that sell out in a flash, so it came as no surprise when their first foray into Batman figures…

Heroes in Crisis #4 hit shelves today, and it’s, unfortunately, my least favorite issue of the series. Ironically, it will probably be the least controversial issue, so… that’s good, right? There have been many complaints about Heroes in Crisis since its debut. A number of people were immediately repelled by the gratuitous deaths of beloved…
Batgirl #30 marks the beginning of a new arc, ‘Old Enemies.’ I really enjoyed Mairghread Scott’s first storyline but I wasn’t enamoured of Wyrm or Grotesque so I’m delighted that this story will be dealing with established villains. The first to be introduced is Jason Bard. This is the New 52 version of the character,…
