15 Years of Coverage (2010-2025)

I'm not going to lie: I kind of dug this issue, but I'm having a really hard time remembering anything that happened. It moves along at a fairly brisk pace (aside from a page or two that are loaded with dialogue), and the broad strokes of the events stick out, but I don't really remember…
The Watchtower has fallen to the Earth and landed in Wakanda! Can the Justice League salvage their busted satellite before the crazed Black Panther tears them a new one with his vibranium claws? Find out in Just Us League #41! SPOILERS AHEAD I don't like this It’s been pretty obvious these past few weeks: I don’t like…
This issue is intended to conclude the three part arc Drain the Swamp, a story centered around Hack. The previous episode’s cliffhanger showed us that Waller, in an attempt to defeat Hack once and for all, blew up Belle Reve’s servers with the Squad members still tied to them. In this issue we will find…
First Roy took on Intergang on his own and now he’s even more out of his depth! Going up against Monsieur Mallah, the Brain and Cheshire sounds like a job for the Titans but trying to get the band back together could prove to be a tall order in this month’s Titans #21… Off the…
When James Tynion IV was first announced as the new writer for Detective Comics, he made the statement that he wanted to be on the title till issue #1000. Having said such a thing, it led me to believe that he had already mapped out a story that would take us to that point. Now,…
This week in Trinity, we finally reach the end of the ‘No Home For You Here’ arc and that's certainly a relief as the finale is chequered by the same problems that have plagued the series since James Robinson took over as the series' writer. Just like the previous Skartaris-based issues, Trinity #19 feels more…
The saga of Angor comes to a close in the final chapter of "New Life and Death," which surprisingly ends up being one of the more satisfying installments of Justice League of America in some time. I say "surprisingly" because I haven't been invested in this story, but I still found myself moved by the…
Bizarro is going off the rails, and his friends are closing in on his secret. Desperate to hold on to his new-found intelligence, the lovable lug has done some—at-best—morally gray things to maintain his heightened faculties. But his friends know something's up, and they care about him—and the rest of the world—far too much to…
Gus Yale is dead. An unintended victim of Batgirl's covert ops against the Calculator, the former "Oracle" was guilty by association and didn't stand a chance against Calculator's killer-robot Burnrate. Dinah and Helena feel betrayed by Batgirl's secrecy, but can the Birds set aside their differences and beat the bad guys? Find out in Batgirl and…
This article was originally published on Comics Now. Reprinted with permission. What if the Green Lantern Corps were a relic of a bygone age? What if there were nothing but whispers in the stars and a handful of scattered rings to bear witness to its existence? Gabriel Hardman’s Green Lantern: Earth One imagines such a…
Two books that I cover are ending this week. For one of them, The Shadow/ Batman, I’m quite sad it is coming to a close. Then there’s Harley and Ivy Meet Betty and Veronica. I don’t want to say that reviewing this book has felt like a chore, but I haven’t enjoyed reading it, much…
All good things must come to an end, and so is the case with The Shadow/ Batman. Of the many titles I’ve reviewed for Batman-News.com over the past few years, this is easily one of my favorites! I’m sad to see this book go – and hope that its absence is only temporary – but…
Two weeks ago, in the pages of Batman, Ivy took over the entire world in order to make it a better place....and I found the opening act to "Everyone Loves Ivy" absolutely intoxicating. Ivy is one of my favorite Bat-villains, so bonus points are already awarded just for using her. But that doesn't mean I…
This chapter of Nightwing has a variety of surprises including, but not limited to, motorcycles, a squid, and purple, teddy bear backpacks… Unfortunately, this is another issue without Guppy… The last time we were in Bludhaven, Nightwing was on an all-out mission to stop the Judge, and managed to come face-to-face with the foe. The…
Frank Tieri continues to kitchen-sink this book full of names and faces that stretch all across the decades of Batman lore. Unfortunately reading this book is more like a Who’s Who game or a flip-visit through a Batman villain encyclopedia that a meaty plot we can actually sink our teeth into. “Angry Bird” is now…
The potpourri of characters and situations in this week’s Injustice 2 is a testament to Tom Taylor’s ability to juggle his sizable (and ever-growing) cast and their many intricate motivations, actions, and plans over the course of this thus-far long haul for video-game tie-in (which I think we can pretty much stop referencing at this…
Bane: Conquest #10 is the third issue in a row in which a showdown is heralded but not delivered. I have low expectations for each issue but at the moment even these are not being met. It’s as if Dixon has too many issues to fill and has to come up with a dull, new…
The Justice League is beset on all sides—by one crazed fan! Maybe! Cyborg makes landfall and attempts to fix the mess on the ground, but there's an angry crowd of citizens feeling neglected by our heroes. Everything's a mess in Justice League #40. SPOILERS AHEAD These are not heroes I complained last time about Priest's Superman allowing…
The GTO is on the hunt for Batman! The Dark Knight's friends have left one-by-one, and with Gordon joining Jack Napier's task-force, the pressure is on Gotham's king vigilante like never before. Can Batman evade capture? Can Jack keep the Joker at bay? Find out in Batman: White Knight #6. SPOILERS AHEAD What are you? Last month, White…
Bane: Conquest #9 is not all action, unlike several earlier issues of the series. Instead, it’s funny, gruesome and always extraordinary but readers should be warned that, despite its proximity to the series’ end, the plot doesn’t progress much. This is because issue #9 is (like issue #8 before it) a set-up issue designed to…
