2 on Batman: Gotham By Gaslight - The Kryptonian Age #6 reviewThey say that all good things must come to an end. I wonder if the same applies to things that are just alright. Yes, dear readers, this is the final issue of The Kryptonian Age. It is no secret that I find this series middling at best, so let's see if this final issue can do…
When we last left the Dynamic Duo, an unexpected fire started in the sub-basement of the Sacred Heart Medical Center during a fundraiser they were both attending. Both are without their gear and hero suits, and a new enemy has emerged to confront Bruce while Damian deals with his own problems. The All-In era team…
Scott Snyder continues to build out the world of Absolute Batman as we get a closer look at not just Batman, but also the supporting cast that surrounds him. While the first issue sometimes felt like nonstop, high-octane fighting, this one takes an opportunity to settle in now that its tone has been established. That's…
Ivy investigates a mysterious terroristic plot claiming her as leader in this issue. It’s a bit of a lull narratively that substitutes the generally exciting writing of G. Willow Wilson for a slightly tedious read. In terms of plot progression, there’s a lot here. Ivy puts Janet-from-HR in that mysterious abandoned city to stay while…
From the writer of Amazon's Merry Little Batman film, Morgan Evans, comes a brand new adventure in that world. This time, the story takes place one month after Damian's Christmas debut, with the hero struggling with normal life. Although, the calm doesn't seem to last long. Let's discuss below! What's Wrong Lil' Man? The Merry…
Cassandra Cain is getting the spotlight in her first solo Batgirl series in nearly two decades. Writer Tate Brombal, artist Takeshi Miyazawa, and colorist Mike Spicer team up to bring this story to life. Brombal has said that this series will include some family drama, undiscovered secrets coming to light, and lots of martial-arts action.…
Just as with the last issue, Batman #154 can be separated into two component yet disparate parts: detective work and political conflict. Each one is given its own section of the story to occupy and so far they don't seem to much overlap. It's still early and Zdarsky has plenty of time to start tying…
G. Willow Wilson should be given some kind of award as the ambassador of all ecologically-themed characters. Not only does this Poison Ivy and Swamp Thing one-shot explore Pamela’s personality, it perfectly captures the roots of one of DC’s best horror characters. The premise of this one-shot is relatively simple. Swamp Thing (referred to as…
The timing of The Last Halloween #2 couldn’t have been more perfect with the release falling on the day before Halloween (day of for this review). Oh the synergy! Issue #1 brought us back to the Gotham that Jeph Loeb and the late Tim Sale created decades ago, and it was an excellent start and…
A New Scene for Ms. Harleen When a new creative team hops onto an ongoing title, they’ve really got two options: do they continue with the narrative momentum of the old guard, hoping to deliver a seamless reader transition, or do they wipe the slate clean and announce their presence? It’s a new…
As the month of October comes to an end, so too does this series. We've reached the end fellow readers, of what I considered to be one of my favourite series of the year. Let's press on and find out if this issue stuck the landing, or if it felt like being hit in the…
In this next iteration of Dark Knights of Steel, a mythical blizzard curses the land a conqueror seeks to control. Somehow, mercenary Slade accidentally discovers what may be the land's only hope. Thusly, joined by Dark Knights of Steel's Kryptonian Batman, Deathstroke crosses the harsh terrain amid all manner of assassins. Let's see how they've…
I'd like to be the first to welcome Dan Watters and the rest of the creative team to Nightwing! Following Taylor's long monopoly over the character, Watters begins his run on the series with another vicious power vacuum. As such, Dick Grayson does all he can to put an end to the gang war before…
Are some lives worth more than others? That seems to be the central question of Tom Taylor's debut story on Detective Comics. Spanning multiple generations via flashbacks, Taylor draws a parallel between the actions of Batman and the actions of his father decades ago, as well as the consequences of those actions. He also uses…
If you have been reading my reviews on this title (whenever I get around to doing them), you would learn that this anthology is a mixed bag at best. And yet for some reason I have yet to determine, the quality of the stories has gone up a bit. Perhaps it is the dying gasp…
It's the spookiest time of the year. But is it as spooky as it could be? Well, now it is, with the arrival of Batman: Full Moon. Bats and werewolves, magic and sorcery. I love Halloween. Can this book capitalise on the scariest season of the year, or will it underdeliver like a stingy neighbour…
Well, well, well. The moment is finally here! I must say, I've really been looking forward to this series. The team behind one of my favourite Daredevil runs, working again as their own dynamic duo to tell a story about the beginning of the caped crusader and boy wonder? Yes please! So, after all this…
Alas, Tom Taylor ends his tenure on Nightwing with the final chapter of Fallen Grayson. After framing Grayson for murder, stealing his identity, and blackmailing the city, Heartless and Nightwing finally confront one another! Of course, Taylor must reconcile each and every loose end in this storyline. Let's see if he sticks the landing. (Yes,…
Hey everybody!!! With Jackson off to NYCC to bring us some spicy gossip on the happenings in the comic book entertainment world, I decided to step in for this issue. Not that I needed much convincing as we get to see a past version of my favorite superhero team and I get a chance to…
Similar to how Catwoman has a new creative team, the title has a new reviewer as I take over from the long-suffering William. Now I wanted to approach this series with fresh eyes, and as such I chose not to read any of the previous issues of the run in hopes that this would provide…
