15 Years of Coverage (2010-2025)

I can’t describe how overjoyed I am that Damian is in the Batman Beyond universe… But I honestly can’t determine if I enjoyed or hated how this arc ended. I was incredibly anxious coming into this issue, and it had nothing to do with Terry, Damian, or Bruce. I wanted to know what…
Batman and The Shadow are in a race with The Joker and the Stag to the mystic realm of Shamba-La. But who will arrive first, and what are the ramifications of failure? Personally, I'm not enjoying the tail end of this story as much as I was enamored with the opening to it. We started…
Oh, Suicide Squad, I used to love you, but now I’m feeling a little indifferent. This issue does hold promise for the future though, so maybe I’ll give you a few more chances. I’ve made no secret of the fact that I’ve been disappointed with the current arc of Suicide Squad. “Kill Your Darlings” doesn’t…
Lonnie Machin, how I've missed you. During the course of TheNew52, we have actually seen three Anarkys. The first was in a ZeroYear tie-in that featured one of the Green Lanterns and had something to do with people hiding in a football stadium to escape the hurricane about to hit Gotham. When I was told…
Harley Quinn is quite the commodity. You can’t even look at anything being produced with a DC logo on it and not see her pasty face. But however much some franchise fans are complaining that it’s exhausting, there’s just no denying that the flagship Harley Quinn comic book continues to be one of the most…
I know a lot of people feel like Jervis Tetch is a “poor man’s Joker”, but I’ve always had a bit of a soft spot for the Mad Hatter because he’s just so crazy and pathetic. I also have a long-running love for the Alice in Wonderland world, so his Wonderland Gang was always a…
It's nature versus nurture! Aqualad faces the horror of his lineage, but he's not alone. The rest of the team scrambles to his aid, but will it be enough to foil the determination of the deadliest helmet in the Seven Seas? Find out in Teen Titans #11, as "Blood of the Manta" comes to an end! SPOILERS…
Dick Grayson is the most beloved man in the DC Universe. He's liked by pretty much everyone. Of all the people Batman trusts, he's possibly third only behind Alfred and Gordon. Superman himself respects him enough to follow his lead. Dick has led countless groups of heroes in just as many iterations of the Titans,…
Welcome back to Break from the Bat, our monthly trip outside the dangerous streets of Gotham and into the wider world of comics. This time, we're merely trading one heart of darkness for another, as we take a look at Boom's Sombra, a four-part mini by writer Justin Jordan, illustrator Raúl Treviño, colorist Juan Useche, and letterer…
In this issue of Green Arrow, Ollie takes a trip to Gotham City! If you haven’t been keeping up with Green Arrow, you might find yourself intrigued by this week’s issue if you’re a Batman fan. The current arc, “Hard Traveling Hero” has Ollie trekking the U.S. in pursuit of the 9th Circle –…
Too soon this book seems to be entering a sophomore slump. With its first arc behind, it’s already committing artist-of-the-month inconsistency and taking story plunges that seem too radical (at least, certainly, for my tastes). The whole of the first arc, Marguerite Bennett and James Tynion IV took us on a little trip to Kate…
"Nightwing and the Huntress in..." When I saw that, I giggled. Not even joking. It's fun little touches like that that show the writers and artists are having just as much fun creating a book as you are reading it. While Nightwing is decidedly and firmly set in the superhero genre, there's no reason…
Justice League Dark reunion! After getting attacked by some disturbing, disturbingly-familiar faces, Superwonderbats reaches out to John Constantine, Zatanna, and Deadman for help. But even with their combined magical prowess, the "Mystic Trinity" find the Outlaws-turned-Underlaws a substantial challenge. Can the Trinity and their magical counterparts overcome the magic of the Pandora Pits? Find out…
You are cordially invited to attend a dinner at Wayne Manor on the evening of the 16th with the explicit purpose of bringing a resolution to the ongoing war. Rest assured that neither the Batman nor the GCPD will be in attendance. This dinner is being solely hosted by mister Wayne with the greater good…
Despite their best efforts, the Teen Titans are in a state of disarray. After suffering a loss at the hands of the appropriately-named Forgotten Villains, the team has retreated to regroup and lick their wounds. Beaten down and humiliated, there's a far more oppressive foe the teens (and Jon) have to face, a villain who…
Young Justice! Sort of! After evading Sovereign and journeying through time to find their parents, the Kids in the Hall (of Justice) set about convincing the League of their authenticity. But not everyone is happy to see everyone, and not everything is as everything seems. Something bad is bound to happen soon. Right? SPOILERS AHEAD Who's…
Damian just continues to cross lines that are frankly quite appalling, all the while looking more conflicted than ever, even as he’s doing it. I’m expecting Tom Taylor is setting us up for quite the interesting Father & Son reunion with plenty of other Batfamily in the wings to keep it more than somewhat interesting.…
This review will have spoilers for last year's Telltale Batman: Season One and, yes, I would say that playing season one is essential to enjoying Enemy Within. You can read our review of Season One, Episode One by clicking HERE. No spoilers for Enemy Within are included. Andrew played on the PS4 and Chris played…
As usual, Batgirl and the Birds of Prey makes me want to kick and scream out of frustration due to terrible writing and characterization is, but one thing happens in this issue that makes me happy. No, overjoyed. You know what, I almost reached freaking nirvana, so I’m going to give this chapter an extra…
