0 on Harley Quinn and Her Gang of Harleys #3 reviewI love the idea behind this series and that it's a nod to the fans, but I admit that I'm not 100% convinced it works. As a short-run limited series it might pull off a great story, but here we are three issues in, the real Harley Quinn is still in Harley Sinn's clutches, and…
The Batmobile: sweetest ride ever, or sweetest ride ever? I think we all know the answer. Be it live-action, animated, in a video game, or on the printed page, cruising Gotham's streets or patrolling its skies, Batman's whip is inarguably one of the sweetest set of wheels ever. The only thing I can think of…
A couple of months ago it came to my attention that Gotham Academy was going to be co-staring in an upcoming mini-series alongside the cast of Lumberjanes. Having no idea what a Lumberjane was, I took to the Internet in the most briefest of searches to find out. Lumberjanes is a comic published by Boom!…
After months of anticipation, the first wave of Rebirth books has finally hit. With promising starts in DC Universe: Rebirth #1 and Detective Comics #934, it's easy to be optimistic. And while most of us at Batman News were less-than-crazy about Batman: Rebirth #1, there were at least a few of you, dear readers, who enjoyed that book, as well.…
Will Roy Harper die, or will Jason Todd get there in time to stop Joker's Daughter and Iron Rule from doing more damage than they already have? And even if he does, will Roy be able to accept his best friend's brutal justice? And even if he will, will anyone care? Why does this book…
Ah...nostalgia. This story is definitely featuring plenty of blasts from the past, sure to make any longtime Batman aficionado feel right at home. But it's got a lot more than just that. It introduces us to the primary adversary for the arc, familiarizes/re-familiarizes us with the cast of characters, and has some nice action set-pieces. …
After twelve issues, Brenden Fletcher's Black Canary comes to a close. I won't say I'm sad to see it go, because I've found it to be (largely) a hot mess. But the truth is, after these final two issues, Fletcher's generated enough good will that I would have gladly read another few issues had they…
There are some properties that transcend time. Batman, naturally, is one of those. From his introduction over 75 years ago, the Caped Crusader has evolved over time to become one of the linchpins of pop culture and, dare I say, one of the most enduring literary creations of the past century. Even when the story…
Dick Grayson returns for the second half of his first "season" as an agent of Spyral. In We All Die at Dawn, Dick's exploits with his eclectic supporting cast are further detailed as Spyral seeks to bring down a crazed cult, prevent Armageddon, and bring about their own possibly sinister ends. Content Collecting issues 5-8 and Grayson…
We've all been there: you start getting into a property, be it a comic book, television series, movie franchise, or video game series. Whatever it is, you start enjoying it more and more. Eventually, you get to the point where you want to maybe buy a few pieces of merchandise, just to decorate around the…
CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?! Part two of 'Wired for Death' is something else and I'm just going to get right into it, because of REASONS. Recap of the first part: Commissioner Gordon (Barbara), starts reminiscing about the days when Bruce was obsessed with finding out what had happened with the disappearance of Tim Drake. Terry McGinnis…
Who’s in the mood for love? Apparently Marguerite Bennett as she brings together three “Love Stories” (from Digital Firsts 40, 41, and 42) in this issue of DC Bombshells, which can be treated as a one-shot in some regards, though it features characters in circumstances which we’ve been following throughout the saga so far. We…
Digital Firsts No. 21 & No. 22 (“Memorial and “Tempers Flare”) return us to the problem of Superman-as-Evil in terms of his support from other former Justice-Leaguers. That’s been a question running all Year (and even since before now): why does anyone support this very clearly corrupted boy in blue? You won’t necessarily get answers…
If you're like me, you've been waiting with bated breath for Rebirth to arrive. Last week, we got our first look into DC's new direction, in the form of DC Universe: Rebirth #1. And it was stellar! Rebirth #1 was a tremendous step in the right direction, but being the ever cautious skeptic, I wondered…
You know what I like about Deathstroke? I can always count on it to be entertaining! That might sound odd considering this book is about an assassin that does his fair share of dismembering people, but it’s always fast paced, and it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Yeah, there are times that it kind of…
::looks at byline:: ::looks in mirror:: ::is decidedly not Cat:: Two years ago, when auditions were open for the Batman News writing team, one of the titles that piqued my interest was Justice League 3000. So, I went and read all of the issues up to that point and wrote about the strange dichotomies of…
Less ongoing saga, more "Legends of the World's Finest", Batman/Superman Volume 2 collects three (largely) self-contained stories. Grek Pak, Paul Levitz, and a host of artists team up across nine issues from Batman/Superman and World's Finest to produce a loosely-connected, diverse collection of tales of video games, war, and lost worlds. What's included Game Over includes Batman/Superman #5-9, Batman/Superman Annual…
Ah, Secret Six, your time has come to an end. I really wish I could say I’m going to miss this particular run, but I honestly think that saying goodbye is the best thing for now. Does that mean I hated this run? No, I just don’t think the book ever really found itself. I’ve…
Here’s a Gotham-centric one-shot called “The Batgirls Swing Again” (from Digital Firsts 37, 38, and 39), following on the coattails of last issue’s emotional conclusion to the fighting in London. We need this break to step away and let our other heroes have a moment to regroup and grieve, and this is the perfect distraction:…
As I’ve stated on numerous occasions now, I’m 50/50 with this title. Deadshot has been quite satisfying, while Katana hasn’t really cut it… Get it? Katana. Cut it... Anyway, last month’s issue showcased a surprising step up in quality for the latter title, and because of that, I didn’t encounter as much dread going into…
