  • Batman and Robin Eternal #11 review

    Cassandra Cain's origin story revealed!  (Do you need another reason to pick this up?) Typically, Eternal tries to squeeze in a main story along with one or two other quick little check-ins.  On this particular outing, the entire book was pretty much dedicated to Cassandra, and I found that very fitting.  I think the main…


  • The Batman Adventures, Vol. 2 review

    The Batman Adventures, Vol. 2 Written by Kelley Puckett Illustrated by Mike Parobeck Inked by Rick Burchett Colored by Rick Taylor Lettered by Tim Harkins Batman: The Animated Series was one of the most influential television series of all time, spinning off into a half-dozen other shows, introducing characters that made their way into the…


  • Secret Six #9 review

    Secret Six #9 "The White Gate, The Black Sun" Written by Gail Simone Art by Tom Derenick Colors by Jason Wright The wonderful weirdness of Secret Six continues this month full of the quirkiness we’ve come to love! Thankfully, my concerns and reservations pertaining to the narrative of this book have practically vanished. Simone and…


  • Batgirl #46 review

    The Batgirl team continues to give us more of what someone wants (apparently a lot of someones since the book sells). Unfortunately I’m not one of those someones, but every month I try to find things to say about this book that are positive given its focus on what appears to be a very specific…


  • Justice League #46 review

    Justice League #46 "Darkseid War: After Death” Written by Geoff Johns Art by Francis Manapul Colors by Francis Manapul After a month delay, we’re finally getting a new issue of Justice League. Thank God all of those one-shots fell in between issue 45 and 46, because I feel like I would have had a conniption…


  • We are Robin #7 review

    If you're an action junkie, you need to get in here right now!  This was definitely one of the most impressive escapes I have seen in some time.  Couple that with humor and well thought out fight choreography, and this issue has "win" written all over it.  But don't worry, if you like your stuff…


  • Arkham Knight: Genesis #5 review

    Arkham Knight: Genesis #5 Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Dexter Soy Colored by Dave McCaig Lettered by Deron Bennett Rest in piece, pizza rat.  We hardly knew ye. That is on the very first page of this, the penultimate installment of Genesis, and if you haven't been paying attention for the past few…


  • Harley Quinn #23 review

    “Kingpin Queen” puts Harley up against Zena Bendemova as promised last go-round, but the real action takes place once Harley sets out to rescue Mason Macabre. First, however, I need to prop this soapbox here because I have something I’ve been wanting to say about the relationship between comic books, the women who read them,…


  • Batman Europa #2 review

    Batman and Joker travel across countries (this time it’s “Prague”) in search of a cure for a deadly virus that threatens to take them both out. That’s the simple premise of this four-part untraditional team-up between most everyone’s favorite arch-enemies. On the downside, that appears to be the whole gist of this book: Batman and…


  • Batman '66 #30 review

    Batman '66 #30: "Main Title" Written by Lee Allred Illustrated by Michael Allred Colored by Laura Allred Lettered by Wes Abbott Even starting on the cover, I could do nothing during this review but list off all of the gags, in jokes, and cameos that litter this issue and surpass the necessary word count by a…


  • Batman and Robin Eternal #10 review

    Bane and the boys work their way deep into the heart of Saint Dumas and discover the secret behind their Angel of Death, while Grayson and Harper make their way to the super-villain lair of DAVID CAIN!!!!! First off, allow me to apologize for being so incredibly late with this review.  I typically try to…


  • Gotham Academy #13 review

    Zombies, "Robins", and some teenage tension between Maps and Olive.....oh the horror! Gotham Academy #13 is a tie-in for the currently running "Robin War" storyline.  It follows the exploits of Riko Sheridan, one of the primary cast members of We are Robin.  This issue bridges the gap for her from Robin War #1 to Detective…

  • New Suicide Squad #15 review

    New Suicide Squad #15 "Freedom" Written by Sean Ryan Art by Philippe Briones Colors by Blond Hey, check this out! Sean Ryan finally wrote a character that I completely believe! Shocking!

  • Batman #47 review

    This week, in the pages of Batman: Jim vs Robo-Bat, Jim vs Bloom, a couple of big surprises, and Bruce wrestles with a demon from his past. My "What the hell?!?" moment for this issue: Usually when I include these, I put them toward the end of the article so I can start things off…

    Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1: "Knights in a Half-Shell" Written by James Tynion IV Illustrated by Freddie E. Williams II Colored by Jeremy Colwell Lettered by Tom Napolitano Before we even begin, can we talk about how terrible the tag line for this series was? So terrible, guys.
