6 on Batman: Ego and Other Tails- The Deluxe Edition reviewWhen Darwyn Cooke passed away at the all-too-young age of 53 in May 2016, he left behind a legacy of great stories and even greater artwork. In the wake of his passing, DC has wisely opted to re-release several of his most beloved stories so fans can experience them anew. While he was best known…
It's Christmas time in Titans Tower, and that means presents, milk and cookies, and deciphering the true identity of Santa Claus. ...wait, what? Yes, it appears that the Titans have more questions about dear old Saint Nick's actual identity that tradition and actual history do not satisfy. It all starts innocently enough, with the group…
Batman's the bad guy. That’s what Jack Napier wants Gotham to believe, and when the Dark Knight's hands are far from clean, the city doesn’t need much convincing. But the artist-formerly-known-as-Joker has done more than point fingers—he has also pledged to do some good of his own. And while his methods may leave a bit…
Have I told you how much I love this book? Well, let me tell you… I love The Shadow/ Batman! I love everything about this book, and I’m bummed that it’s just a mini-series. The Shadow/ Batman is a sequel to Batman/ The Shadow. I love also loved Batman/ The Shadow, but I feel that…
This week, Harley and Ivy Meet Betty & Veronica experience a Freaky Friday-type event! Gotham and Riverdale come crashing together in this crossover that has the sirens and vixens crossing paths. No, there isn’t any plausible reason why this crossover should work, and yet, somehow, it does. The biggest question I had coming into this…
Batman is engaged...and he hasn't told his bestest bud Superman yet. The issue consists of both Lois and Catwoman trying to get their men to call the other. In turn, Batman and Superman tell their significant others why they haven't, and then proceed to discuss the other man's defining characteristics. That's pretty much the gist…
It’s nice to see Wonder Woman take center stage in Injustice both in the recent Annual and now in the book itself. Previous Injustice has centered largely on Batman and Superman (with a side salad of Harley Quinn), so it’s good to see Tom Taylor tackling the freshly popular Amazonian goddess, even if she is…
Who’s ready for some holiday cheer? If you’re counting down the days, here’s 11 stories to count down with (really more like ten and a half since one of the stories is just kind of a loose framework). And rather than a book in which the DC universe is represented by Batman guest-starring Superman and…
We have reached the end of an era. Tim Seeley has been writing Dick Grayson pretty consistently for the past several years. He and Tom King detailed Dick's exploits as Agent 37 of Spyral in Grayson, one of the most unique and surprisingly excellent new comics of the decade. After a brief hiatus to prep…
We’ve seen Batman have bad days before. Sometimes, even someone as brilliant and well-trained as Bruce Wayne makes errors in judgment and pays the price. But what if the bill comes due for someone else, instead? And what kind of mistakes will the world tolerate from the Justice League? Whether you’re new to this book,…
Back in 2015, the first crossover between Batman and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was announced. What could have easily been a series that phoned in its story and traded heavily on nostalgia was actually really good. Penned by James Tynion IV and illustrated by Freddie Williams II, the series had great character interactions and…
Batman and Catwoman. How did they meet? How did they eventually come to fall in love? And what's mouse poop got to do with it? In Batman Annual #2, King brings us his vision of the way things were and other things that have not yet come to pass. The majority of this tale takes…
Buckle-up, bastiches! We’re going to go save some space dolphins! There will be no middle ground here. You will either enjoy this issue, or you will absolutely hate it… And a lot of this has to do with how you feel about the crazy fact that Lobo has a soft spot for space dolphins. Yes,…
Justice. If I can sum up Batman's appeal to me in one word, that would be it. In a city where justice is too often blocked by the very structures erected to preserve it, Batman stands outside the law as its most effective champion. But what about here in the real world? How many orphans…
SPOILERS: While I don't spoil anything regarding the outcome of the story, I do mention a few surprising character appearances, so come back after reading the issue if you don't want to be spoiled. I'm just going to come out and say it: this annual is cute. Adorable, even. For their first foray into annual…
If you want to treat yourself this holiday to something self-contained, beautifully rendered, and full of interesting turns with a Wonder Woman who is unsubtley modeled on Gal Gadot’s gorgeous onscreen appearance, this is the book for you! Remember, though, that Wonder Woman in the Injustice world is on the side of Superman, which puts…
Last year, DC Comics released their New Talent Showcase, a collection of shorts to spotlight recent graduates of their writing and art programs. As a collection it was a mixed bag, but the intent was noble and allowed some fresh faces to flex their creative muscles. Honestly, I thought that the recent House of Horror…
In this chapter of Suicide Squad, we get silly, fun action with a giant, red, dinosaur-alien. To quote the great Samuel L. Jackson from Jurassic Park, “Hold on to your butts.” After an attempt to assassinate Amanda Waller fails, the Squad begins investigating Argent – a covert government agency that appears to be defunct. The…
It's summer vacation for the students of Super Hero High, and with it comes opportunity for new adventures. With the school year behind them, what are the likes of Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Katana, Harley Quinn, and the whole crew going to do on their break? Spend it apart, apparently. This is bad news for Wonder…
Dan Jurgens returns to Batman Beyond, and doesn’t really do much in this issue… Well, that’s disappointing. I’m going to be honest, the biggest disservice to this issue is the fact that two filler issues preceded it. Had this story followed “Rise of the Demon” then I would say this is a welcomed break from…
