28 on Gotham by Midnight #9 reviewI am genuinely stunned by what just happened in this book. Literally, my jaw dropped as I turned the pages toward the climax. That look on Jim’s face at the end: confused, horrified, destroyed: that was me. Ray Fawkes has delivered a bona fide holocaust masquerading as a run-of-the-mill police procedural. Consider me standing and…
Batman ’66 #27: “Bane Enters the Ring/Batman Does His Thing” Written by Jeff Parker Illustrated and Colored by Scott Kowalchuk Lettered by Wes Abbott Jeff Parker is on a roll introducing previously unused characters into the Batman '66 universe. Of the nine issues published this year, five of them have either retooled a previously seen villain or…
Ever since flying the coop and returning to his original nest, Robin as been on a personal journey figuratively and literally to right the wrongs of his past. There's been a stark contrast between the child he once was to the young man that he's becoming. However, his new partner, Nobody II, proves that dealing…
There's no business like show business! That phrase rings true when you see the things people will do and/or go through for a taste of the limelight. The feeling can become addictive. Regardless, one should always choose their friends wisely. They can either help you in your time of need, or assist in your downfall.…
Arkham Knight: Genesis #2 Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Alisson Borges Colored by Dave McCaig Lettered by Deron Bennet It's always nice to gain sympathy for a character you've never really felt attached to. As I've said before, I'm not a huge fan of Jason Todd as a character, but appreciate and respect…
Secret Six #6 "Whippings and Apologies" Written by Gail Simmone Art by Tom Derrenick Colors by Jason Wright We've reached the sixth issue of Secret Six, and in this issue the entire secret comes out (I think)... I'm sure there's some irony here, but the more important topic of conversation is the secret itself. But…
This issue follows two distinct storylines: Digital First 19 presents us with “Stupid Tartarus”, which is the best title yet in Year Four. This half features Harley Quinn, Billy Batson, and Hippolyta as they attempt to escape from the Prison of the Damned. Digital First 20, “Retreat”, returns us to Themyscira and that crashing wave…
“Harleywood” features more than the usual share of surprises with John Timms filling in for regular series artist Chad Hardin, and a script that feels not only way-scaled back in terms of goofiness compared to Harley Quinn’s Road Trip special, but has a body count higher than the last half-dozen comics put together. Harley has…
New Suicide Squad #12 “Monsters” Written by Sean Ryan Art by Philipe Briones Colors by Blond You’re not dreaming… I promise… I really enjoyed this issue… And yes, you’re remembering correctly, this is the second issue that I’ve enjoyed from this arc. Either someone is helping Sean Ryan write, or he’s been reading reviews around…
This current incarnation of Red Hood has been, shall we say, emotionally lacking. Outside of two exceptional issues in the recent Red Hood and the Outlaws run – found in issues three and eighteen – Jason Todd has been demoted to a poor man’s Deathstroke. The last few issues have been no different, with weak…
Catwoman #44 "Fire" Written by Genevieve Valentine Pencils by David Messina Inks by Gaetano Carlucci Colors by Lee Loughridge It's almost been a year since Valentine started her run on Catwoman, and every issue has built an intricate world featuring Selina's transition from master thief to the head of Gotham's underworld. Now that our first…
Last time in Earth 2: Society, planetary overlord, interdimensional-traveler, and overall fragment of self-preserving pond scum Terry Sloan allegedly bit the dust. I say allegedly because it happens off-panel and all that’s left is a body when we know that there’s a whole bunch of Terry Sloan’s out there flying around. The search for I’ve…
Teen Titans Go! Digital Issue #23: "Save the Date" Written by Sholly Fisch Illustrated by Lea Hernandez Lettered by Wes Abbott I love Star Wars. When I was in middle school, which was around the time the original trilogy was re-released as "Special Editions," I got really, really into it. I would watch the movies…
As the band Black Canary continues their grueling 30 city, 30 day tour, they have the balancing act of escaping the relentless chase from numerous pursuers while making showtime deadlines. With the revelation of Dinah's not dead husband, and the presence of agents and tar looking aliens everywhere, the notorious, up and coming band have…
Sometimes the elements of a story align themselves so perfectly that they create a vision greater than the sum of their parts. This is one of those times. Without a shadow of a doubt, this is my all-time favorite issue of Gotham Academy so far. It almost seems as though this issue was tailor made…
Thanks you Brian Azzarello for being my lifeboat of sanity in the sea of chaos that is Snyder's current arc. For those of you who might be unaware, this issue of Batman is an interlude in the ongoing story arc. While Snyder is credited as co-author of this story, I can't help but feel that Azzarello…
The formula for these Harley Quinn specials has been pretty predictable so far: you take a double issue (roughly), a cadre of very disparate artists (who are typically not regular artist Chad Hardin), a script from Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti that usually involves a variety of hallucinations or fantasy sequences (to help bridge the…
We’re about halfway done with the first arc of Batman Beyond, which promises to end the story which started last year in Future’s End #0, and I’ve been decidedly split on how I feel about the direction of this series. Dan Jurgen’s story has culminated in the siege of Neo-Gotham by the cyborg forces of…
Batman: Arkham Knight #8: “Who Wants to Kill a Billionaire?/Suicide Blues” Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Ig Guara and Viktor Bogdanovic Inked by Juan Ferreira and Richard Friend Colored by Andrew Dalhouse and John Rauch Lettered by Travis Lanham I'm not going to lie: I think a bit of Arkham Knight fatigue is…
Welcome to another thrilling episode of "Brandon reviews Bat-mite". When we last saw our hero, he was engaged in grievous combat with that master of paralysis, Gridlock! Robin came to Bat-Mite's rescue, but at the detriment of allowing that cunning culprit of chronology to make his daring escape. And so we join our hero as…
