Four weeks in and pieces are still falling into place, with more connections between the titular crimefighters being revealed while their true for remains hidden. Up to this point I've been enjoying this crossover, and while it's still quite enjoyable, this installment feels like filler. The reason for that may very well be that it's a…
After the emotional events of two weeks ago, we take a break from the tragedy of the Bat Family for a Flash-centric issue in which we explore Barry Allen’s conflict with being part of Superman’s imperial Regime. Last we saw of the Flash, he rescued Batman from being arrested (even though he had pulverized Superman…
After a month and a half of Rebirth, we finally get our first installment of the brand-new Justice League! Full of action, heroes, and creepy enemies, Justice League #1 will set the course for the foreseeable future of everyone's favorite super-team. For that reason alone it's worth checking out. There's a lot happening Our story…
This week's issue of Batman invites you to sit back, relax, and enjoy the origin story of Hank and Claire Clover. Or as we've come to know them, Gotham and Gotham Girl (or G&GG if you're writing an article). The story starts off with a couple and their young son walking down the street and…
Who is Killer Croc? What motivates him? Is he just a primal beast, or is there more to one of Batman's strongest, most brutal foes than meets the eye? With Rebirth recently begun and new creative teams plotting out the next few months and years in Gotham, now is the perfect time to get to know…
Welcome back to another edition of Break from the Bat! We're a month into Rebirth, and I don't know about the rest of you, but I am digging it! We've got solid-to-excellent books across the line now, and it's been a pleasure to see the market rewarding DC for its creative successes. Let's hop to…
Looking at the cover of this issue and considering the content of the previous one (“Love Stories”), you might be thinking to yourself: what is this mush? This time around Marguerite Bennett brings us three “Ghost Stories” (from Digital Firsts 43, 44, and 45) featuring not only Mera and Arthur, but a heavy focus on…
Absolutely fantastic! Here we are at part three of "Rise of the Batmen", and the arc hasn't had a dud issue yet. So far, this has been the most downright enjoyable, engaging, well written, and beautifully rendered storyline to come out of Detective Comics in over a year. I can't say enough good things about…
To say nothing of the quality of the books, most of DC's recent Rebirth titles have been continuations of established events rather than true shake-ups of the status quo. Sure, there are some titles like Green Arrow that have brought back integral elements that had long been absent (of course I'm talking about the goatee);…
There are rumblings in Titans Tower. Literal rumblings. Is it an earthquake? An explosion? Beast Boy's stomach? Alas, it is far worse: Starfire is sick with the Tameranean flu. This sets in motion the team's desire to help their friend get better. That's really about it, but hey, there are a few good laughs. My…
What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? This is the essential question at the heart of DC Comics/Dark Horse: Aliens, a universe-melding collection of crossovers that bring everyone's favorite family of cuddly, face-sucking, toothy-tongued xenomorphs into the worlds of Batman, Superman, and the WildC.A.T.S. Throw in some 14,000 year-old Predators and a few…
SCHHHWAAAAAY. This comic book just keeps getting better and better. I am in awe of what Jurgens has done with it and I applaud him for such a good story, that and the creative team for really capturing the essence of what it is to write a good comic book and the art to back…
Tom King takes it upon himself to introduce a new generation of Batman Fans to one of the oldest Batman stories ever told. And for that, I doff my cap to him. While I'm not 100% behind the idea of recycling and reusing past material, this book just presents way too many positives for me to…
That felonious feline Catwoman is in the clutches of the Cybermen* Cybernauts. Can the Dynamic Duo rescue her in time? Will agents Steed and Peel instead free the femme fatale? Does Chief O'Hara make a hasty judgement? Will we see which rogue is behind the sudden onslaught of rigidly robust robot men? The answers to these…
Last issue we were promised a battle royale between father and son as Batman and Damian face off over the fate of Victor Zsasz after a heinous murder that has left the Bat Family reeling. We get the bonus of watching Batman and Superman once again come to blows in what almost feels like a…
Superman is dead. The Justice League lives, but how can it go on without its brightest, most hopeful hero? Can they turn to the new Superman on the scene? Can they trust him? Will he even help? Something is clearly missing. As yet another force seeks to destroy or enslave the people of Earth, the…
Two things: first off, this was released on Free Comic Book Day back in May, so the "Back Issue Review" tag may be a stretch, but eh, whatever. Second, this is a book aimed at young girls, which is fantastic, but I am neither young nor am I a girl, so it's safe to say…
The final volume of the original The Batman Adventures series is here, collecting the final run of issues and a few one-shots and annual's for good measure. Like previous installments, it's a great collection by itself and a perfect introduction to both Batman and the classic animated series. The first issue in the collection is…
When the storytelling is focused, it's amazing how even a faltering story can turn around to become a massive entertainment. Such is the case with The Dark Knight III #5, which is light on dialogue but serves up some pretty exciting set-pieces in spades. None too soon either, as the 8-part series has just now…
Agent 37 is back for one four last final adventures before he makes his long-awaited return as Nightwing. Now, I know that Grayson didn't end the way most of us wanted it to, but at least it was an enjoyable ride up to the very end. Lanzing and Kelly team up one last time to send Agent 37…
