5 on Legion of Collectors - Green Lantern Corps unboxingIt is a sad day, because this marks the end of Funko's beloved DC subscription box service. But if this is to be our last day, then let us go out with a bang. The Green Lantern Corps box might just be the best one Funko have done yet. A shirt sure to spike your…
What’s not to love in this film? It’s got my favorite hussy-hacker, Jack the Ripper, it takes place in my favorite historical period featuring Batman in a sorta pseudo-Victorian getup, and Gotham’s grand fairgrounds are ripped straight from the the Chicago’s World Fair Columbian Exposition--including "Chekov’s" Ferris Wheel (above). Seriously: is there anyone who won’t…
Rocksteady's Joker design from the inaugural Arkham game finally gets the Hot Toys treatment, and it doesn't disappoint. In fact, we here at Batman News are so enthusiastic about it that we're doing our first Hot Toys video review. However, if you're at work or maybe a funeral (at least try to hide the phone…
A new familiar face comes to Teen Titans Go! as the group go in for annual health and wellness check-ups. Writer Matthew Manning makes a pretty strong debut on the title with a story that is both hilarious and all too real. When Robin is more obnoxiously full of himself than usual, he reveals that…
If you’ve been on board the Bane train for Conquest so far then you know by now that it’s a slow-moving, action-heavy series with little consideration for logic or characterisation. Issue #8 doesn’t cover much distance in terms of plot but if you’ve been enjoying this ride for the insanity and nostalgia, this could be…
Suicide Squad #36 is the second chapter of Drain the Swamp, a story starring Hack as the main villain. Last issue we were introduced to the super soldier known as The Wall, a living weapon controlled by the President of the United States. We also saw that Hack has somehow merged with Belle Reve’s mainframe,…
Teen Titans #17 is the start of a new arc entitled It Ain’t Easy Being Green. Considering that this issue picks up where the crossover Super Sons of Tomorrow left off, with the wreckage of a Titans Tower, new readers jumping on board might be somewhat confused, but it should still be an okay jumping-on…
So, I think it's been fairly well established that I'm down with weird. The crazier the better. A detective chimp named Detective Chimp? Sold. Supermen from across the ages fighting a monster that eats time itself? Amazing. Cave Carson vomiting up Swamp Thing and also sending out his cybernetic eye to hide a bunch of…
Do not mess with Honor Guest or her family… She’ll kill you for doing so. Last month, we were graced with the debut of The Silencer! I say “graced” because so far, it’s the only title from DC’s New Age of Heroes that’s managed to pack a punch. While the other titles have looked incredible,…
Shots are fired! Hope Larson gives us a solid issue in which Batgirl struggles to solve a technological mystery while also facing a failure of her recent past in a book more solid and more indicative of what this series can really by like when it’s allowed to shine. No goofy social media that will…
There have been two mysterious figures operating in the shadows in Batman Beyond lately; a sneaky female vigilante and the puppeteer engineering his revenge against Terry. If you’ve been reading the series and haven’t already guessed their identities, you may wish to pick up issue #17 to find out who they are. However, in almost…
Detective Comics #975 continues to deal with the fallout resulting from Batwoman killing Clayface. But whereas #974 contained extremely volatile reactions from some of the cast, this issue has given the characters time for their immediate emotional responses to recede and allowed them to have some much more constructive and analytical assessments of the situation…
Now that the threat of the Might Beyond the Mirror has been taken care of, the Justice League of America are ready for a new day and a new mission. Batman's back, Aztek may finally have a spot on the team, and... that's about it. There isn't much that happens that's particularly exciting. A shame,…
Justice League may not have generated the revenue or fan reaction that Warner Brothers wanted, but it did generate a ton of excellent merchandise. Lots of toys, clothing and collectibles have been steadily trickling out for a year or so now, and the fine folks at Kotobukiya recently entered the field with a line of…
My power has been in and out the past few days thanks to a string of heavy thunderstorms, so I’m getting this to you guys a little later than I intended. This week in Break From the Bat, we’re splitting our focus between “Milk Wars” and DC’s New Age of Heroes. Milk Wars: Shade the…
Batman #41 is the first chapter of the three-part arc, Everyone Loves Ivy. The premise of the arc is that Poison Ivy, through the elemental force of the Green, enthralls the entire planet, including the Justice League. The stakes are high and only Batman and Catwoman have found means to stay out of Ivy’s control.…
The Brave and the Bold: Batman and Wonder Woman #1 is the start of a 6 issue mini-series both written and drawn by Liam Sharpe. The premise of the series (and I’m paraphrasing the solicit here) is that when a Celtic god is murdered, a war erupts between the fairy folk. While Wonder Woman is…
At the end of issue #11, Kate announced that now Julia was safe, she could head to Brussels to save her sister from Safiyah. Issue #12 doesn’t really progress the current story much. Instead, it lays the foundation for a dramatic reunion with the Mother of War by answering the principal question we’ve had since…
Sam Humphries continues to deliver a mixed bag of intrigue and lack-of-focus in this chapter of Nightwing “The Untouchable.” In many ways, Humphries has developed some great beats for “The Untouchable.” Unfortunately, those highlights are becoming overshadowed by the story's opportunities, and that’s never good. A story can have excellent moments – those moments might…
It's been a pretty busy year for our Super Sons. Their series kicked off last year with one of the strongest debut issues in recent memory, thanks in no small part to the superstar team of Peter Tomasi and Jorge Jimenez. The title has mellowed out a bit over the course of the year, with…
