9 on Batman Beyond #16 reviewThe current run of Batman Beyond comes to a close with “Wired for Death: Epilogue.” Up to this point, Jurgens and Chang have delivered an incredibly satisfying story, and I'm honestly a little sad to see this book transition because I’ve been enjoying it so much. Tim Drake is currently operating as Batman following the…
When we last looked in on the League, the Kindred were standing tall in Canada. Meanwhile, the rookie Lanterns had stumbled upon a fractured planet, and Superman took a journey to (near) the center of the earth in hopes of taking out the seismic doodads rumbling the planet. Still too much know-and-tell This time around,…
This zombie apocalypse story arc concludes in its third issue “Goin’ for Takeout”. But as is always the case with Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti crafting the wacky world of Harley, there’s a lot more going on here than merely wrapping up the goofy tale of space-delinquent-turned-hotdog-fodder resulting in a plague of Coney Island zombies.…
The "Better Than Batman" arc has been one of the most exciting, consistently entertaining stories coming from of DC Comics in the past several months. I've used the word "swashbuckling" to describe it a few times, and I still feel that's accurate: it's a grand adventure, serialized entertainment that hearkens back to the Silver Age…
Digital Firsts No. 33 & 34, “The Smoking Gun” and “Invisible Truths” have Batman putting his plan to expose the worst of Superman’s disregard for human life and justice is the focus of this issue in which Superman is still largely incapacitated from the synthetic kryptonite blow he took from a now very dead Katar…
Now all but defunct, DC's Elseworlds imprint was a line of out of continuity stories that allowed creators to try some different and, occasionally, truly bizarre things with established characters. Beginning with 1989's excellent Batman: Gotham by Gaslight, which is sadly missing in this collection, the line ran for the better part of a decade…
I appreciate the advice, Viceroy, I do. And I hope you can appreciate that I reject your distinction. That somehow they're savage and you're not or we're not. I've been a Lantern for years, served with every race and species. Everyone is savage. Everyone is civilized. We're all the same. In the end. I'm not…
Now this is what I’m talking about! Suicide Squad: War Crimes #1 is the type of Suicide Squad story that I want to read on a monthly (or bi-weekly) basis! Considering Ostrander introduced us to the Suicide Squad, it’s no surprise that I hold his idea of this title on a pedestal. This is a…
Jimmy Palmiotti and Frank Tieri are bringing the gang of Harleys toward the conclusion of this tale of kidnap and rescue by bringing us a whole lot closer to perpetrator Harley Sinn. This issue is half flashback of Sinn’s story (what’s brought her to where she is today), and half action with the gang fighting…
There's an awful lot this series has been doing right: the dialogue is fantastic, the characterizations are spot-on, and the distinct visuals give it a unique look. The plot may be moving along at a bit of a deliberate pace, but it's still intriguing and loads of fun. For that, Edginton, Smith and team must…
After a substantial wait, Bryan Hitch's first crack at the Justice League takes one step closer to its conclusion. Rao has fled after our heroes severed the link between he and his faithful, but Supeman paid for the victory with his life. Meanwhile, Hal sits in a cell in the Kryptonian city of Argo while…
I love Gotham Academy. From the beginning, it's been a refreshing look at a part of the DC Universe that's never received much attention, telling a coming-of-age story that is largely bereft of the usual cliches and contrivances that plague similar works. With its charming cast and unique point of view, the adventures of Olive,…
Who is Superman's Joker? Who would target those closest to him just to cause him pain? Batman/Superman Vol. 4 explores one possible answer to these questions, as the World's Finest face a deadly threat with designs against the Man of Steel. Batman works against the clock to track down the villain and counter his methods, but can…
Hope Larson looks to be doing some slow-burn setup with this continuation of last month’s “Beyond Burnside”. After making big changes in Batgirl’s rebirth, it feels like she might be playing it a bit safe, but I’m okay with that and here’s 3+1 reasons why you should be too: All that and scary schoolgirls! The…
It’s Harley vs. Harley in this interdimensional travel piece that crosses regular continuity Harley Quinn with her Bombshell counterpart--and let’s just say that despite a big kiss, these two aren’t at all on the same page. In fact, in a fun turn of events, Bombshell Harley actually seems to play the “straight” role to Continuity…
Wally West is back with the Titans, and they’re ready to battle… themselves? In this week’s Upcoming Comics post, I expressed disappointment with the first issue of Titans. While I loved Rebirth and Titans: Rebirth, the debut issue of Titans left me unmotivated and unsure about the future of this title. To be frank, it…
As the world waits for the #DCRebirth of the Titans, Tim and team continue to wander aimlessly around the middle of America, taking random days off and fighting every weirdo with a bad attitude. This week, they're up to more of the same. Read on to find out if it's worth your three bucks to…
Team Batman may have escaped from the Colony, but the war is far from over. Colonel Kane's dangerous plan to take out the League of Shadows is set in motion, and the Dark Knight's band of vigilantes has nary a moment to catch their breath with the safety of Gotham's citizens on the line. Can the heroes…
The latest wave of DC Collectibles Batman: The Animated Series and The New Batman Adventures figures were released this month. Each figure was modeled after a character's appearance in a specific episode and, in the case of Jim Gordon, that episode is "I Am the Night." "I Am the Night" originally aired on 11/9/1992. It…
Let me tell you a story about a girl named... let's call her Dana, changing it for propriety's sake. A few weeks ago, my family and I were having breakfast at Chick Fil A and my son wanted to play in the play area. I was in there, playing Batman and Robin with him (in…
