5 on Justice League of America #7 reviewWe’re back to a regular cadence with Justice League of America and I’m slowly beginning to warm back up to this book, especially after last month’s issue. We’ve known that Rao is a less than stellar guy, but last month was the first time we actually witnessed him own it, when he attacked Superman. With…
Sideshow's latest Premium Format Bat-figure is a variant (and quite the improvement) of a statue released a year or two ago. This polystone sculpture, a limited edition of only 2,000, may be poured from the same mold, but, rather than sport the black on grey of its predecessor, features characteristics most commonly found in the…
Teen Titans #13 got lost in the shuffle a few months ago. I'll be taking over reviews for the title starting with February's issue, so I'm covering this one in the meantime. How do you review a book that everyone says is bad? As the newest member of the comics review team here at Batman…
Two stories. Two character focuses. One book. There's a part of me that really wanted to write a separate review for each story (as in two separate posts), but if you plan on buying the monthly issues, then you're stuck with both stories... So you're getting two reviews in on post. I'll score each issue…
Justice League 3001 #8 "A New Beginning" review Written by: J. M. DeMatteis & Keith Giffen Art by: Scott Kolins Colors by: Hi-Fi Cat's TidBits: New Justice League! This new beginning starts with a new team, new members, and a brand new Justice League to save our planet from anyone that tries to destroy it.…
This...was...TREMENDOUS! Without a doubt, this was the best issue of We are Robin to date. I was rather hard on this comic in its infancy, but with the last few issues, things have really started to pick up. With this installment, I think it is safe to say that W.A.R. finally has its first real…
Unlike its predecessor, Batman&Robin Eternal doesn't wait till the 11th hour to reveal its big secret: Did Batman really kill that kid's parents? Don't worry, the solicitation from last issue wasn't a false promise meant to string you along. We really get an answer. The issue also features several scenes at Spyral HQs with Dick…
Grayson #16: "Code Word: Swordfish" Written by Tim Seeley and Tom King Illustrated by Mikel Janín Colored by Jeromy Cox Lettered by Carlos M. Mangual A pulp thriller title. Spectacular chases and stunts in exotic locales. Globe-trotting adventure. Action and gadgets galore. And, err, gratuitous cheesecake. Every one of those elements is present in Grayson…
For some time now I’ve been pretty critical of the art in the Bombshells series, but you have nothing to fear here. The mixed team of Laura Braga, Sandy Jarrell, and Maria-Laura Sanapo (with inks by Juan Albarran) makes this second installment of the “Allies” storyline (Digital Firsts 22, 23, and 24) a nice feast…
Batman: The Doom That Came to Gotham Written by Mike Mignola and Richard Pace Illustrated by Troy Nixey Inked by Dennis Janke Colored by Dave Stewart Lettered by Dave Oakley What would Batman be like had he been written by H.P. Lovecraft? That is the question that the recently collected miniseries Batman: The Doom That Came to…
Titans Hunt #4 "Masks" review Written by: Dan Abnett Art by: Paulo Siqueira Colors by: Hi-Fi Cat's TidBits: As our Titans begin to remember things from their past, the nightmare that continues to haunt them is starting to take over their minds. Hawk and Dove are now part of the picture, but they aren't exactly…
First off, what is up with that title? I think they are trying to pay tribute to The Killing Joke, but that doesn't make sense. Sure, the Joker is in this story, but the events of this tale mimic the famous Joker scene from A Death in the Family, not the famous Joker scene from…
Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death #1 review Written by: Amy Chu Art by: Clay Mann Colors by: Ulises Arreola Cat's TidBits: As Dr. Pamela Isley starts working at the Gotham Botanical Gardens, she soon encounters that she needs to learn how to balance from her 'plant' side and 'human' side in order to fit…
My initial knee jerk reaction to this story was one of slight annoyance. Are we seriously going to have Alfred and Damian together and not have them discuss Bruce? Had a Batman-News commenter not filled me in on the behind-the-scenes workings for this particular issue, you'd be reading a mini-rant right about now. It turns…
Year Five isn’t pulling any punches as the collected Digital Firsts No. 3 & 4 will testify. Last we saw, Superman had his hands full with Doomsday, Yellow Lantern Hal was wrassling with Parasite, and Batman was secretly enlisting for his underground Resistance. This go-round we see the return of Wonder Woman, who has been…
The opening page of “Can’t Fight City Hall...or Can You?”shows an awesome retro-style intro in which a giant Joker’s hand grasps Harley, Madame Macabre, Mason, and Poison Ivy, while others fly around a cosmic background, with the panel is flanked by character portraits. If you ever read comics in the olden days or have had…
Secret Six #10 “Watch A Yellow Sun Fade" Written by Gail Simone Art by Dale EagleshamTom Derenick Colors by Jason Wright The magical fallout comes to a close in “Watch A Yellow Sun Fade!” Is this the end of magic? Will Black Alice sacrifice herself for the world? Will other members of the Secret Six…
Bruce and "Joker" share a quiet moment together that bears an offhanded resemblance to some of the other "we're just a couple of guys" conversations they have had together over the decades. It's wonderfully introspective and is by far the main selling point for this particular issue. Meanwhile, Bloom commences the destruction of Gotham and…
Every month I come to this book with some small ever-fading glimmer of hope, but notoriously low expectations, and every time those hopes are dashed and the expectations are met head-on. These last couple of issues, I’ve resorted to a page-by-page blow-by-blow in which I nitpick the comic to death. This month I’m going to…
Batman Arkham Knight: Genesis #6 Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Dexter Soy Colored by Dave McCaig Lettered by Deron Bennett Cover by Stjepan Sejic I find myself in the interesting position of reviewing the sixth installment in a six-part story, without having read the previous five. The disadvantages of this are obvious, but…
