3 on Batman / The Shadow #4 ReviewSo far, I've given this book pretty much nothing but praise. Unfortunately, Batman / The Shadow #4 is about to break the stellar streak this book has been on (for me at least). It's not that anything in here is bad (well, maybe one little thing). It's just that, compared with the previous issues, this felt…
All-Star Batman can get ridiculous, often to its benefit, occasionally to its detriment. There's a real sense of zaniness to the book that makes it really enjoyable to read, and you get the feeling that Scott Snyder's having a blast working without a net. Usually, that translates to the page, and that's generally the case…
Black Manta has come for his boy! The mystery of Jackson Hyde's past has been revealed in all of its horror, and he has no choice but to face his father like a man. Meanwhile, the rest of the team continues to fracture around Kid Flash's ouster. Something needs to change, or the Teen Titans…
We get another one-shot from Hope Larson on the Batgirl title, and this time it’s a team-up with Catwoman in a little tale humorously titled “The Truth about Bats and Dogs”. I’ll just say it upfront: this is kind of a silly story. But I will also temper that by saying: eh, it’s entertaining anyway.…
It's July, and that means it's time for another Legion of Collectors box. And what a box it is! With a theme like Batman: the Animated Series, there's so much potential, and Funko didn't disappoint. While there are a few faces missing (Harley, Harvey, Ivy, and Scarecrow are probably the most prominent), there's only so…
It’s rare for the Harley Quinn team to swing and miss, but this issue just didn’t connect for me. It’s definitely a bridge piece and it does have some fun stuff, but a long and very verbose segue-way about Harley’s parents felt completely inorganic and dragged the whole thing down for me. I think I…
The Many Arms of Death may be behind us, but as predicted, Marguerite Bennett and James Tynion IV remind us in “Blinding” that Kate’s experiences on Coryana will continue to shape her journey throughout this new incarnation. In a way, it feels strange to be having this interlude about Kate’s rescue by Safiyah and her…
After reading Supergirl’s solo series to review her team-up with Batgirl, you can probably imagine that I wasn’t too excited about seeing Kara feature so prominently in the latest issue of Injustice 2. But then I remembered Tom Taylor was writing this and everything turned out just fine (but of course!). Not that great comic…
The virus infecting the Justice League is not what it appears to be! As Wonder Woman discovers the truth of their dire situation, Batman and Superman take care of their own crises. But with the Watchtower plummeting to Earth, what can they do to prevent a global catastrophe? "Dead Space" concludes in Trinity #11. Spoilers ahead Too…
"The Ballad of Kite Man", HEL.... Hmm...? Is it too early in this review to start dropping "Hell Yeahs"? Na, I don't think so. "The Ballad of Kite Man", HELL YEAH!!!! If you've ever read any of my reviews, you know I'm a huge huge huge stickler for keeping the facts of the universe straight. …
25 issues already. It's crazy to think that it's only been a year since Dick took up the Nightwing mantle again. Shipping bi-monthly certainly gets you more adventures, of course, and a starring role in Titans means even more Nightwing for your buck. To celebrate a year back in blue, the ever reliable Tim Seeley…
A funny thing happens anytime I read Super Sons. I go into it expecting some great action and writing, which I get in spades, of course. What seems to slip my mind, though, is just how well-rounded a character Jon is becoming. He's been a part of the DCU for about two years now, and…
When Batman '66 Meets the Legion of Super-Heroes was announced, I was a little taken aback. Part of that was because Batman's team-up with Wonder Woman was coming to an end, and that series was... ok at its best. Frankly, I was a little burnt out. Did we need another crossover between the Caped Crusaders…
Molly's back, and she's telling tales! While the real villain of "Timeless" discusses multiversal threats with Batman, the rest of the League has a serious tussle with an enemy far older than they are. But even if they stop today's threat, Molly's story suggests a bigger challenge in the future. Bryan Hitch pulls back the…
Welcome back to Break from the Bat, our monthly exploration of what's happening outside of Gotham. I don't know about you, but some weeks, I have trouble keeping up with all of the books I want to read. Family stuff needs more time than usual, work gets crazy, and titles that aren't at the top…
Oh Justice League of America… You’re a mess of a book, but I’d be lying if I didn’t admit that part of me loves how terrible you are. There are a number of problems with Justice League of America, and when you take a moment to assess how you could improve it, you…
Yet again, Dan Abnett proves that Titans is not only the best hero, team book being published by DC at the moment, but also one of the most entertaining! Something needs be said about properly planning a narrative. Take one look at Titans, and it’s clear that Abnett has plans set to run…
This week in the pages of Detective Comics: Batman seeks the answers to all questions, Luke Fox plays Doctor Frankenstein, and Azrael goes nuts. ***Right up front, I'd like to inform everyone coming here to read this review that it doesn't follow the standard format that I usually adhere to. On rare occasions, I end…
Batgirl & the Birds of Prey continues its run as a ridiculous book, with little substance, illogical plots and motivations, and insulting characterizations… Twelve issues in, it’s clear none of these aspects will change, so if you’re hoping for something different, then I’m sorry to tell you that it probably won’t happen. BUT, the…
I’m just going to level with you all: I had to read this comic three times before any of it even began to gel with me, and by then I felt as bloated as if I’d eaten six sleeves of soda crackers and drank a gallon of water. “The Casting” completes Scott Snyder and James…
