8 on Teen Titans #6 reviewWith Granpappy in the past—at least for now—Damian and friends can turn their attention to other things, like chilling in a giant "T" with windows and other amenities. But evil never naps for long, and as it rubs the sleep from its eyes, an unexpected ally enters the fray. Aqualad rises, in Teen Titans #6!…
Funko was kind enough to send Batman News their March box for Legion of Collectors, and boy, was it a good one. See if you can spot Batman! Also, if there's a drinking game for how many times I say "classic" or "spit curl", you should probably stick to root beer...
This is the first trade of Detective Comics that features Jim Gordon as Bunnyman Batman. If you followed the site during that time, then you know that I had major issue with Gordon as “Batman.” For me, it just didn’t add up for him as a character. That being said, I was curious to see…
It's Nightwing and Robin's European Vacation as Dick and Damian make their way to France in search of Shawn. If you haven't been feeling this title recently, or have even moved away from it altogether, then fear not: the narrative is turning around and coming together. At least, it starts to after a while. The…
DC Collectibles is churning out a new wave of their incredibly popular line of Animated Series figures, and Batman News was lucky enough to get some early review samples. Here's a look at the upcoming Catwoman and Riddler collectibles from The New Batman Adventures. Catwoman While The WB gave the team behind The New Batman…
It’s curtains for this netherland storyline, which has been a strange departure. To say so feels like a misnomer for a Harley book--in which everything is always strange all the time, but there’s Harley-strange and then there’s the rest of the world she lives in, and to be honest, when Harley is not the strangest…
Super Sons accomplishes something that too few comics do these days: it is pure joy. From beginning to end, this book is an outright blast, and even though it's only in its second issue this might be my favorite book on my slate right now. A lot of what makes this book work is the…
In the last issue, King spent a considerable amount of time illustrating the similarities and differences between Bruce and Bane. This time, there is an entirely different parallel at play, but it's not at all overt like before. And quite frankly, much stronger in my opinion. In the original "Knightfall" story, Bane invaded Gotham. He…
What happens when three of the Trinity's biggest baddies get together for a catacomb bull session? ABOMINATIONS! With apologies to the excellent first arc of Red Hood and the Outlaws, Ra's, Lex, and Circe form their own "Dark Trinity" and face their demons in one of the creepiest haunts around. A stark—if temporary—change in tone Francis…
Think of the last great Mad Hatter story you read. When you do, let me know what it is. I don't say that to be snide, I'm genuinely curious what the great Jervis Tetch stories are. Right now, I'm drawing a blank. When I think of a good Hatter story, I think of "Perchance to…
With the help of Infinity, Batman and Superman have caught up with the Timeless. Meanwhile, the rest of the League has dispersed across time to stop the enemy on the most urgent fronts. But can the World's Finest take down a seemingly infinite foe? And how can the League save history when they aren't even…
It’s Batwoman’s first issue! After her...first issue. But that was Rebirth and this is just her regular series. I’m not going to pretend that makes any sense at all, but if you’re confused about this No. 1 after we just had a No. 1, well that’s why. The more important thing is that “Sinnerman” is…
It would appear that Christopher Sebela is flying solo these days on Injustice: Ground Zero. With Brian Buccellato no longer credited among the creators for this title, I guess he is no longer contributing story points. That strikes me as unusual because you would think the story would have been more or less mapped out…
Ask anyone their favorite episodes of Batman: The Animated Series. Let's say top five. I'm willing to bet that more often than not, "Almost Got 'Im" will at least be somewhere on most of those lists. If you're not familiar with it, the episode's premise was simple: a group of Batman's rogues are playing poker,…
Other than an appearance in a Green Lantern Corps tie-in to Batman's Zero Year, the sometimes-villainous, sometimes-something-else Anarky was absent from DC's New 52 relaunch. For their second arc on Detective Comics, Brian Buccelato and Francis Manapul set out to change that. What's included? Detective Vol. 7 actually collects several distinct stories, picking up where the…
The title of this issue is “Broken Things.” It’s kind of like when life imitates art, because there’s no better way to describe this issue… Broken. I don’t know what in the hell is going on behind the scenes of Mother Panic, but I feel like there’s a lot of meddling. The first…
Last month, I was a shocked because I actually enjoyed Batgirl & the Birds of Prey. In fact, as far as the characters were concerned, I felt that it was the most natural these three women have been since Rebirth. This month… The book is even better! I haven’t reached the, “I’m a fan!”…
In the immortal words of the Gotham Academy kids: OH...MY...CRAP! Did I just read the best issue of Second Semester ever written? Yes, yes I did. I'd even go so far as to say it's the best issue of Gotham Academy I've read in a year and a half. But it goes beyond that. Upon…
Titans is quickly becoming one of my favorite titles to read! I won’t go so far to say that it’s the best, but it is one of the more enjoyable books I read. Much like Green Arrow, there’s a positivity to this title that is infectious, and that fact that Abnett has stepped up…
(Reads issue and rubs hands together mischievously.) Oh… Oh, this is good. This is really, really good… Have I ever told you that I’m a fan of Rob Williams? Because I am. A big fan. Out of all the writers I cover at the moment, I feel as though his approach to a…
