14 on Nightwing #19 reviewDoes Dick Grayson work best when he's in the desert? What could possibly prompt such a bizarre question? Stay with me here: in the past few years, two of the best issues of Dick Grayson's series have taken place in the desert. First there was Grayson #5, that masterpiece of a single issue that found…
Last month, I said this might be my favorite book on my slate right now. Yeah, I think I can eliminate the "might be;" Super Sons is great, and I look forward to it more than just about anything that I read. Three issues in and it's still going strong, delivering a healthy balance of…
And so Batman has encountered the ends of the earth. Not the locations, though; the actual events that would lead to the world's end. A world that ends in disaster. A world that ends in sickness. A world that ends in materialism. None of these endings will do, though. The only ending that fits, the…
Molly is evil! The most well-disguised shady watch salesman in the history of forever has shown her true colors (Spray-On Gold #7), and the Justice League faces perhaps their greatest challenge yet: making me care! Will they succeed? Can the ship be set aright at last? Find out in Justice League #19 as "The Timeless" takes…
Last week, Andrew reached out to me and asked if I would be interested in reviewing Teen Titans: The Judas Contract. If I’m being honest, I wasn’t too excited to jump on the offer. I’ve reviewed a number of DC’s animated films since their relaunch, and have yet to watch one that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed.…
The latest release from DC Collectibles Designer Series is inspired by the work of critically acclaimed artist, Amanda Conner. These four figures (sold separately) bring to life the pages of such books as the Harley Quinn Holiday Special, the much-celebrated Harley Quinn & Power Girl mini-series, and the ongoing Harley Quinn solo series (now shipping twice…
In the finale of “Made In Manhattan,” Abnett teases a nostalgic future, and brings a much needed jolt of energy to the arc! It took a few months before Titans found its footing, but since that moment, this book has been one of my favorite titles to read. This arc has been a little slow though,…
Remember when Justice League of America: Rebirth #1 was released, and I got excited because of this teaser at the end of the book? Remember how amped I was because of the panel of Batman holding a shield and having his life threatened, and The Atom finding Ray Palmer (or at…
I'm so excited to be reading Gotham Academy right now. If you're not up to date on things, the last issue was mindbogglingly awesome. While this one isn't as awesome because it lacks a reveal as insane as the one from last issue, it's still plenty amazing in its own right. And now I'll tell…
The conclusion to Suicide Squad’s “Burning Down the House” is exactly what I was hoping for! If you’ve been following the story, you’re in for a satisfying conclusion! I always praise Williams for his ability to craft long-form stories, and he has yet to disappoint me! I want to see him on Suicide Squad…
Batman and Ra's having a conversation in the Batcave. Right behind shirtless sword fighting, I think this is one of the most quintessential things that comes to mind when I picture these two. If all you came to this comic for was that, you should be leaving pretty happy. It also has two twists/surprises I…
Batgirl & the Birds of Prey… Where plot points are convenient for the sake of the story. The dialogue is questionable at best. But on occasion, things are actually done well… er… decently. Maybe just ok… Or not… There are spoilers galore in this review, so turn back now if you don’t want anything…
Hot on the trail of the Bow of Ra, the Outlaws race to Qurac. But as Jason and Artemis face the demons of their past, a hostile present awaits. Can this unlikely band of friends find success—and closure—among the ruins of their innocence? Find out in Red Hood and the Outlaws #9. Some mild spoilers follow. Old…
Super Powers is a lot of things. It's fun. It's bright. It's colorful. It's silly. It's crazy. It's funny. It's a simple, light-hearted all-ages book that advocates the virtues of goodness and heroism. It's a celebration of the entire DC Universe, with the universe itself serving as the main character. And that is precisely why…
Remember a while back when DC released Teeny Titans? It was a promotional tie-in for a mobile game that I'm not sure anyone ever played. There was no resolution within the comic itself, and it was literally nothing more than a twenty-page advertisement. Even still, it was so much better than this. "Goblin Catch 'Em…
Welcome back to Break from the Bat, your monthly dose of comics from anywhere but Gotham. I've got to level with you—I've been feeling a little burned out lately, and I told myself I would spend a few months focusing this column on books I was already reading, rather than looking for something completely fresh.…
The folks at Downtown Bookworks are at it again! They've been wowing us with the world's finest children's books for years, and now they're breaking into the world of setups and punchlines with The Official DC Super Hero Joke Book. Reluctant chuckles and hearty guffaws Let's get one thing straight before I go on: the jokes…
Injustice: Ground Zero ramps things up this week, even as it treads some already well-traversed ground. Christopher Sebela incrementally increases the stakes for Harley Quinn and her gang, while also making some big things go BOOM! Digital Firsts 17 & 18 (“Fall Down, Go Boom” parts 1 & 2) combine to give us more of…
Boy are you in store for a treat from the Harley Quinn HQ this week! Not only does this comic get us back on the ground and out of the giant insects and flying demi-gods business, but those of you who love Harley’s original incarnation from Paul Dini will have the thrill of seeing Bret…
Batman #20 is the climax to the "I am Bane" story arc, but it's also the climax to King's entire sprawling Batman trilogy. It started with "I am Gotham", transitioned into "I am Suicide", and finally brought us to "I am Bane". As such, this story has a lot of shoes to fill. Not only…
