25 on Detective Comics #943 reviewOn Monday I was returning home from a weekend trip on a 4 hour flight. I spent the majority of the flight napping, and every time I would wake, I glanced at the show someone was watching in the seat in front of me. It looked like the most boring thing ever created. All I…
We’re in Part 4 of the “Beyond Burnside” arc and all the elements of the story that Hope Larson has been setting up are coming together. We’ve met Schoolgirl early on, but now it’s time to meet Teacher--and Teacher has some very curious surprises! First off, though I want to draw some attention to the…
Not every book needs to include Batman. If you are going to include Batman, make sure you use him well. And if you aren't going to use him well, at least make the story memorable. Preferably with ninjas or something. -Ancient proverb Up to this point, Deathstroke has been a lot of things: a psychological…
Last month, Robin (son of Batman) went and found himself some folks to play with. One by one, he took down Beast Boy, Starfire, Raven, and Kid Flash with ease, and then finally revealed himself and his intimidating associate Goliath to the lot of them. Teen Titans #1 picks up right where we left off,…
In 1985, the publishing company known as DC Comics was celebrating over fifty years of comic books, characters, and history. In that fifty years, they had introduced such characters as Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, and the Flash, as well as Robin, the template for any and all young sidekicks, and the premier super-teams the Justice…
Previously, in Teen Titans Go!... The team was presented with the opportunity to appear in their own TV show. What would it be? A hard-hitting drama? A nostalgic throwback cartoon? A Spanish telenovela? And just how many man-eating sharks will be involved? Questions will be answered, loyalties will be tested, and suspenders will be…
Whoohoo! So this is it! Brian Buccellato brings Year Five to a crashing close in the only way it really can end: a final full-stakes confrontation between Batman and Superman and the trigger that puts the events of the video game in motion. “The Final Gambit” and “Real Justice” (Digital Firsts 39 & 40) is…
If you are a Batman fan, you owe it to yourself to try Batman: Arkham VR, the latest release from Rocksteady Studios for the Playstation VR. It's not like any other Batman game you've played before and, really, I hesitate to even call it a game. Arkham VR's gameplay is quite shallow and only two…
This comic gets my official pick as the best issue of Batman since Tom King took on the character. This story has sooo much going for it, it's ridiculous: An amazing opening that mirrors a classic yet often forgotten story, references galore, great cameos, and the use of obscure characters. But hey, that's hardly everything. …
“Undercover Punker Part 2: The Skull Bags Big Snag” gives us our first glimpse of what a Harley-based punk group would look like. Along with Red Tool on bass, Big T on guitar, and Eggy on drums, GG and the Skull Bags makes their debut to a mostly surly audience. I was actually pleased that…
*WARNING : SPOILERS openly discussed below* Come gather 'round, children, and I'll tell you a tale. A tale of men and super-men, big and small. A tale of legends reborn and made new. A tale of gods among men, and men among gods. A tale of warrior princesses, orphan sons, and all of the rest…
The long night of the monster men is over, and Nightwing is back in fine form. I won't trash that event, even though I felt it lacking on almost all levels, and I am glad that Tim Seeley doesn't outright brush it aside as if it never happened. The references to it, though small and…
After an awkward dinner in issue one, Clark, Diana, and Bruce took an evening stroll. Much to their surprise, they encountered a scene quite familiar to Superman but that had no business taking place in the present. What's up in the White family barn? Trinity #2 has the answer. Manapul knows what he's doing As…
Infected with fear after a battle with a mysterious foe, the Justice League has gone a bit haywire. As Lantern Cruz regresses toward her prior cowardice, Superman decides it's time to have a heart-to-heart with Batman—or at the very least, murder him in his cave. Will fear prevail and finish tearing this team apart? Answers—maybe—in…
I'm dipping my feet into graphic novel reviews, and I'm going to focus on some of Batman's greatest allies. To kick things off, I figured I would start with Tim Drake. This might seem like an odd place to start - I mean, any sensible person would start with Nightwing or Batgirl - but considering…
Suicide Squad has turned into one wild ride! While the first issue made me a little nervous, every issue since then has proven that the debut was just a fluke. This chapter does drop a little in quality compared to the previous two issues, but it's still a good, fun read! If you haven't been…
Gotham Academy Second Semester is so all over the place that it's difficult to decide where to even start. In and of itself, this is little more than setup for events to come. And while it's important to lay groundwork for the story ahead, it feels very disjointed and unnatural in it's presentation. Maybe even…
Oh Batgirl & the Birds of Prey, I just don’t know how to feel about you! I love the idea of you and there are moments when I genuinely enjoy you, but then there are times when I wonder what your actual goal is in this universe. Birds… Don’t take this the wrong way, but…
There's nothing wrong with this installment. It's tonally consistent with the rest of the series, the writing and illustrations are as good as you'd expect, and it feels like Batman '66 Meets Steed and Mrs. Peel should. There isn't much to dislike here. In fact, there isn't much here period. This is the briefest, breeziest…
The final chapter of "Night of the Monster Men" has arrived, and wouldn't you know it, now it decides to start getting good. Seriously?!? I've waded through all this monster goo to make it this far , and it's nice to finally be rewarded in some small way, but couldn't we have had more of…
