3 on Titans #24 reviewI think it's fair to say that Snyder, Tynion, Abnett and Williamson currently have free reign to introduce whatever crazy concepts they like into their books with the excuse that anything can and will happen with the collapse of the Source Wall. Abnett takes full advantage of the situation in Titans #24 by adding a…
No more Mr. Nice Guy. Jason Todd has been playing by Batman's rules for a while now. Aided by his briefly-intelligent friend Bizarro, and the mighty Amazon Artemis, Red Hood cleaned up a lot of crime in his city, and everything seemed like it was going well. But the good doesn't last in Gotham, and…
Well, this is certainly spiraling out of control. And not in that great way stories can escalate with compounded threats and increasing stakes and high-risk reveals. I literally had to look back on the credits of this issue to see whether Bryan Hill was still writing, because it feels like someone new took this over…
Our friends at Downtown Bookworks are at it again, with another delightful children's book based on DC Comics characters. Following up on the excellent Big Book of Super Heroes, Big Book of Girl Power, and Big Book of Superpowers, they're turning their attention to the bad guys with The Big Book of Super-Villains, coming this fall. They provided Batman News…
At first glance, I was a little leery of this story. Sure, it was written by Sholly Fisch, and you should know by now that I'm a fan of the guy. Still, another story about movies? Returning the Titans to that well yet again? I'm kind of ready for something new. Thankfully, this story is…
This issue wraps up Humphries’ first arc on the title, bringing Harley’s adventures on Apokolips to a close. As some may know, I was somewhat critical of last issue, mostly because of two reasons. First, I dislike the meta jokes (Harley randomly breaks the fourth wall a few times during this arc). Sometimes I love…
Bruce Wayne has been sequestered in the Mr. Freeze triple-murder trial with a jury of his peers (if you believe Batman has peers). The jury is tired, cranky, and dead set on a quick verdict of guilty based on what appears to be overwhelming cur circumstantial evidence: cold bodies, a brutal take down of Victor…
The Super Sons return from a bit of a summer vacation to... uh, go on summer vacation. Yes, the boys are back with a new title and new adventures after their self-titled series came to a close just a few months ago. The ever-reliable writer Peter Tomasi is back, joined by the art team of…
Some ideas are just so honest, so pure that we see them and wonder "how has this never been done before?" They make us examine ourselves, our places in the world, and humanity as a whole. Oftentimes they can make us have a new perspective, a new outlook on life, one that is more hopeful…
[Via text] “Dear Ben, This isn’t working anymore. I’m sorry. I know, I know… Nightwing is my favorite character, and I wanted nothing more than to review this book for the first four years I wrote for Batman-News.com… But now, things have changed. No, no. It’s not you. It’s me…. Wait… Nevermind, it is totally…
Doooooooom! How did Lex Luthor convince Sinestro and Grodd to join his crew? The Legion of Doom takes over Justice League, leading us through the recent past, the far future, and the immediate present in the space of twenty pages. Is Lex the scion of truth he claims to be? You decide—in Justice League #5.…
So, recently I took over review duties for this title from Elena, and the first issue I reviewed was #45. While I certainly don’t think that #45 was a home run—it had quite a few problems—I did actually end up enjoying the book for what it was. What made it especially enjoyable for me was…
For the second consecutive month, The Silencer has dipped in quality. The issue itself is still enjoyable enough, but I’m concerned about the future of this title based on this trend. Abnett appears to be losing his grasp on what made this book special and unique, and now it’s essentially turning into a generic action…
So… Teen Titans… Is it a dark, moody, angst-fest, or is there more to this team than meets the eye? Find out below! There will be a large group of people who will not like this run because the characters (Damian and Emiko) are “darker” than what they would prefer. If that is how you…
Her name is Erika. She is the daughter of an immigrant. Her father is a puppet-maker. He is her whole world, and he is taken from her. She knows pain. She knows loss. She is full of rage. She is Marionette. At the halfway point of the series, Doomsday Clock has delivered its most emotional…
See those creepy red eyes peering out of the darkness behind the heroes on the cover? They’re telling you what kind of book this is going to be. No Justice was the rollercoaster; now it’s time to step inside the haunted house... The promising inaugural issue of Justice League Dark begins appropriately with Zatanna. One…
There’s a new Scarecrow in town, who has the people of New Gotham gunning for the Batman. Last issue we saw Terry set upon by a mob of civilians, police and Jokerz. We do get much closer to the latest incarnation of the Master of Fear across this month’s 20 pages but not much changes…
I’ll get out my one major complaint right up front so we can dispense with it and move on to all the wonderful things that make this book a joy to read. In a word: editing. DC's Beach Blanket Bad Guys Summer Special is a compilation of 10 tales of DC universe villains: everyone from…
Here there be SPOILERS! For some of you the reveal of the identity of Karma may feel a bit like a letdown, but I’m frankly pumped at the fact that he’s so much of nothing: a street-level villain who’s just managed to make himself dangerous enough to get on Batman’s radar. This is the kind…
It’s an exciting week for Batwoman fans: A new TV series has been announced and a popular love interest is back in Kate’s life in the pages of Batwoman #17! That’s right; GCPD officer Renee Montoya, the other breakout character from Batman: The Animated Series returns, and long-time readers will be glad to hear that…
