2 on Batman/TMNT Adventures #3 reviewThere's a phrase that I've caught myself using lately to describe the books I cover: "a really good time," or some derivation thereof. At the end of the day, that's really all I want. Sure, I love great continuity-heavy stories, intricate plots, and an experience that rewards making a true investment in the story. You…
When Batman Beyond last left off, Terminal discovered that Terry had infiltrated his circle of Jokerz, so he set out to make an example of both Terry and Dana. With those two indisposed, it’s now up to Max and Matt to help Terry and hopefully turn things around for the good guys… Considering this is…
Suicide Squad #10 serves as an epilogue to Justice League vs Suicide Squad, and while this issue appears to be what you would expect initially, trust me when I tell you it’s not. “The Cost” isn’t so much about the consequences of Justice League vs Suicide Squad, but about the consequences of Amanda Waller’s actions…
This is the finale to the two-part "Batwoman Begins" story, but really, it's not a finale at all. Pretty much everything is left hanging. This story is really just a sampling of what you should expect to get from the upcoming Batwoman series, to make you aware of it, and to peak your interest enough…
Last week, Eclipso emerged from Max Lord, ready to shroud the world in everlasting darkness. This week, in the sixth and final chapter of Justice League vs. Suicide Squad, Batman and the few unaffected stage a last-ditch effort to bring Eclipso down and save the world. It ends here—for better or for worse. For better... This…
There are some crazy quick things that happen in this book--and the sweeping hand of cleaning up a neighborhood junked full of trendy fare and obnoxious aesthetics may make your head spin a little, but I have to give major props to Hope Larson for just getting the job done so we can move on…
Desiring to save the lives of his fledgling Titans, Damian returned to his grandfather, pledging fealty in exchange for Ra's calling off the Fist. But centuries of life have bred caution in the heart of the world's most prolific killer/crimelord/madman, and peace might just cost Robin his life—in Teen Titans #4. Pham settling in The early…
Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Supergirl, and the rest of the Super Hero High crew are back in Hits and Myths, the second original graphic novel in the DC Super Hero Girls line. With shades of classic literature and enduring myth, the team set off on an adventure that takes them all over the city in search…
As I type up this review, this is still the official solicitation for this comic that appears on DC's website: "STREETS AND SWAMPS! Swamp Thing comes to Gotham City with a mysterious request for Batman—but these longtime allies will have to make up for lost time and work together in order to confront a growing…
I’d really like to not make a point/counter-point review between this issue of Injustice and Harley Quinn No. 12, but it’s hard to avoid the elephant in the room. Why does Injustice Harley work for me? I think the primary reason is that Injustice Harley has never tried to be anything but the Harley Quinn…
After a rough stay in Themyscira got them banished, the Trinity found themselves face-to-face with Mongul, Lord of Warworld. As we pick up our tale in this month's Trinity #5, Ivy gives Lois an explanation, Mongul gives the heroes an explanation, and the child at the center of this madness comes into focus. Watch out for spoilers! Having…
Last month's Gotham Academy Second Semester #4 was an interlude in the larger story, hence, #5 picks up where our story left off two months ago...The Trial of Colton Rivera! This story starts off with a flashback depicting exactly what Colton did that got him in such hot water with Headmaster Hammer. When last we…
With most of the Justice League in thrall to Max Lord and the Heart of Darkness, who is left to help Steve Trevor when things go south in Washington? The Survivor tries to make it home to protect his sister and her children, but will he make it in time? Spoilers for Justice League vs.…
This book has been so good. Ever since Rebirth launched, Nightwing has been one of the most consistently excellent titles in DC's roster. There have been good issues; there have been great issues; what there has not been is a bad issue. Sure, the Monster Men installments were weak, but even those were probably the…
Last week's outing concluded with Max Lord in full control of most of the League, the original #skwad beaten, and Lobo short one head. As the curtain rises on JLVSS #5, the USA is at Lord's feet, with only Batman and a rag-tag band of scoundrels standing in the gap. Worth it for the "bastich"…
It's difficult to understate the influence of both the 1966 Batman television show and the 1975 Wonder Woman series. Batman was a cultural phenomenon, hitting at just the right time to be embraced by the zeitgeist. It's bright aesthetic fit with the Mod style of the day, and the tongue-in-cheek campiness inspired comics writers to…
Note: Batman does not appear at all in this issue. Having said that, don't let that put you off from picking it up, because this is just as fun as any installment so far. Art Baltazar and Franco are playing in their toy box, and they've invited us to join in. That's really what this…
I’m almost at a loss about what just happened in this comic. Consider the whole review a SPOILER because there’s no talking about why I am so conflicted over this comic without getting into the nitty-gritty. Some caveats, though most of you who have been following my Harley reviews know all this stuff. It bears…
This is it—the final volume of Batman from The New 52. Its heights were higher than its depths were low, and there were stories that will be talked about for years to come. Epilogue doesn't contain any of them, but that's okay. Filled with one-offs—all but one of which stand perfectly well on their own—this last word…
Welcome back to Break from the Bat, our monthly look at what's happening in the wide world of comics outside of Gotham. I had a tough time picking a book to feature this month, because there were two that I really loved. So while it doesn't get the place of honor, be sure to read…
