0 on Batman ’66 Meets Steed and Mrs. Peel Digital Issue #12 reviewBatman's latest crossover comes to a close with a chapter that is incredibly interesting, which is to both its detriment and benefit. From the beginning I've really enjoyed the snappy, whip-smart dialogue and unique visual style of this book. Unfortunately, the story began to wear out its welcome in recent weeks, spinning the narrative wheels…
Meet Violet Page. She’s rich. She’s punk. She’s part of the Gotham elite. And she’s a vigilante. As much as this might sound familiar, it probably won’t feel familiar. The only familiarity a general comic reader might connect with this title is Gotham City and Batman. Everything else about Mother Panic is odd, offbeat, dark,…
I think that Gotham Academy has lost the magic that once had me under its spell. Two of the biggest things that Gotham Academy always had going for it were a heavy dose of mystery and an abundance of exemplary character work. Unfortunately, both of these elements are severely missing from this issue. Sure, Colton…
Let's talk about that cover for a second. I mean, how great is it? Say what you will about Romita's style (believe me, I have some things to say later), but that image definitely grabs your attention. It's like those old Golden and Silver Age covers that had a million things going on that were…
We ended things last month with a rather terrifying look on Bizarro's face (apparently, he did not appreciate the "monster" label attributed to him by Artemis). We pick things up this week with a rather terrified look on Jason's face—or at least, he would probably appear terrified if the posture of his facial muscles wasn't…
It's easy to take advantage of it now, but there was once a time where our favorite superheroes rarely crossed paths, if ever. There weren't line-spanning crossovers, monthly guest spots, or innumerable team-up books; instead, most characters stuck to their own titles, save for rare exceptions like World's Finest. Imagine, then, what it must have…
Can science solve murder by magic? According to its publisher, that's the question at the heart of Ether, but I disagree. Matt Kindt and David Rubín's new creator-owned series may hook you in with such a premise, but its meat—at least through its first two issues—is a Holmes-esque investigator and the fantastically bizarre, mystical realm…
Oh ye of little faith, I say unto myself. I had serious doubts about this arc (and not just because Harley shaved her head for it). But Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti pulled off something quite new with this three-parter. “Undercover Punker Part 3: Satin Underground” took a story that began almost flippantly, grew into…
I found this issue leaving A LOT to be desired in so many ways. Primarily the defamation of character it so blatantly bandies about. And I'm not just talking about Catwoman. Batman gets his fair share of completely ludicrous moments as well, and they are entirely unbecoming for such a cautious and fastidious character. The entire…
I love politics. I openly admitted that last year when the primary debates were beginning, and my sentiment hasn’t changed too much since then. I read political magazines, try to keep myself glued to the news, and I follow quite a few political news podcasts. That being said, I hate this election. Between Donald Trump…
*Warning: Spoilers Ahead* We've witnessed the introduction of Raptor. We've endured the rise of Raptor. Now, we see the fall of Raptor. One of Tim Seeley's stated goals for Nightwing has been to give Dick a memorable rogues gallery. Given how great of a character he is and how long he's endured in the comics…
Tomasi and Gleason did not create Damian Wayne, but they perfected him in Batman and Robin. And they did not create Jon Kent, but they are already setting a high standard for him in Superman. So what happens when the most dynamic duo in the comics industry brings together the sons of the World's Finest heroes? Spoilers follow.…
We are once again at the beginning of a new arc. Justice League has been a rocky ride thus far, and so I approached this issue grateful for the fresh start, and hopeful that Hitch might at last turn things around and look like the very capable writer I came to appreciate with JLA. So how…
Every parent wants the best for their children, and as Batfans, we know that the best is Batman. But what if your four-year-old isn't ready for Arkham Asylum? Surely, there must be a way to indoctrinateeducate our little Girl and Boy Wonders that doesn't involve night terrors and a premature distrust of clowns (but seriously, you should…
Those self-described idiots at MAD Magazine are at it again, this time riffing on the classic children's story Goodnight Moon. For those that don't know, Goodnight Moon is a classic children's picture book, written by Margaret Wise Brown and illustrated by Clement Hurd. Originally published in 1947, the simple story details a rabbit wishing everything…
This is Batman Beyond’s first issue since Rebirth, and it’s a bit of mixed bag. I don’t think the issue is bad, but there are definitely a number of aspects that don’t work in the book’s favor. Ironically, there isn’t anything particularly negative about the issue itself that causes me to think this. Instead, the…
He's the Pharaoh of Phobias, the Duke of Dread, striking fear in the hearts of Gotham's citizens. Ostracized as a boy for being bookish and shabby, Jonathan Crane grew up determined never to be victimized again. As the Scarecrow, he is one of Batman's oldest and most dangerous foes, a brilliant mind ever eager to…
Kadabra's got Linda! After working up the nerve to approach his soulmate for the second time since his return, Wally West could only watch as the vain magician snatched her from his grasp. With Linda's life on the line, will the fastest man alive be fast enough? Like a summer popcorn flick The rest of…
The penultimate chapter is here, chums, and our heroes have found themselves in yet another quandary. Faced with hordes of Cybernauts, Batman, Robin, Steed and Peel must work together to stop Michaela Gough's rampage. It's difficult to judge this installment on its own merits, because it's all build-up for the final chapter. Gone are the…
The more I read Rob Williams’ Suicide Squad, the more I wish he would helm the upcoming Justice League vs Suicide Squad crossover. I’ve greatly enjoyed his work so far, and feel that he’s doing a great job of balancing the various tones of the book brilliantly. Yes, the stories are shorter, but that isn’t…
