6 on Injustice: Year Four #8 reviewThe collected issue of Digital Firsts 15 & 16, “Exile” and “God of War” develops the intrigues between gods and mortals and provides some background on Ares, including insight as to why he is playing both sides (aside from just the sheer love of creating chaos through war). The Good There’s a lot that happens…
Batman: Arkham Knight #7: "Safe House/Who Wants to Kill a Billionaire?" Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Viktor Bogdanovic Inked by Art Thibert and Richard Friend Colored by John Rauch Lettered by Travis Lanham It's always nice to see Batman interact with the citizens of Gotham, especially when they respect and look up to…
You want the Truth? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!! No seriously, I can't get a handle on it. It's entertaining to say the least, but it is everywhere. Not to mention that Superman is everywhere, but so is his new pal The BatBot, er...the Batman. I'm making a list and checking it twice, but let's…
Justice League: Gods and Monsters marks the return of beloved animator Bruce Timm to the DC animated universe. While seeing another DC flick with the Justice League title may look like business as usual, Gods and Monsters is anything but. This is a “What if?” or better yet an Elseworlds story like Red Son or…
New Suicide Squad #11 “Monsters” Part 3 Written by Sean Ryan Art by Philipe Briones Colors by Blond Oh Sean Ryan… you never let me down… your book is turning out exactly like I predicted… Alright, before I get into this – full disclosure, I’m not going to have nice things to say – I…
You are in for a ride. It’s been a long few days. I’m in the last stages of getting over a pretty bad flu that’s come at me for the last two weeks now, and everything I just read may have been a drug-induced fever dream. Remind me in the comments. Alright, I’m making this…
It’s been a difficult year for the Wonders of Earth 2. They had to deal with the destruction of their home planet, a battle against an interdimensional super-being bent on pitting the universe’s heroes against one another, and rebuild their entire civilization literally from the ground up. Terry Sloan, acting as overseer to the refugees,…
All Star Section Eight #3: “I Would Do Anything for Love” Written by Garth Ennis Illustrated by John McCrea Colors by John Kalisz Letters by Pat Brosseau I'm trying guys, I really am. To say I haven't been enjoying this book is an understatement, made worse by the fact that I was genuinely looking forward to…
The honorary members of the Justice League continue their strange and bizarre mission that was fittingly assigned to them by Alanna Strange. Trying to take the fight directly to the source, they realized they were getting a little more than they bargained for as their threat quickly turned the tables on them. With their backs…
Catwoman #43 “Them That Bear It” Written by Genevieve Valentine Art by David Messina Colors by Lee Loughridge Well… you know what they say… “Ask and ye shall receive.” I hoped Valentine would let loose a little, and in this issue, she didn’t’ disappoint. As I’ve mentioned numerous times in my reviews of Catwoman, Valentine…
What does it mean to be Batman? Is Batman a job or a costume? Is he a symbol or beacon? Does he stand for justice or vengeance? Is he a mask or the reality? This is Batman. To me, Batman has always been about a person who put aside himself in order to make…
This issue has everything you've come to expect from Gotham Academy: creepy locations, Maps being Maps, getting one question answered only to have it be replaced by three new ones, and quotes and references galore! (Can you hear the "but" coming?) While all this was wonderful...I couldn't help but feel that the story was overly…
For this, my 100th review for Batman-News.com, I am especially pleased to be bringing you a new No. 1 from a series that I’m personally excited about. DC Comics Bombshells has a freshness factor that feels lacking in the DCU right now. It’s a book about female characters in an alternate history context that makes…
Justice League: Gods and Monsters #1: "Genesis" Story by J. M. DeMatteis and Bruce Timm Written by J. M. DeMatteis Illustrated by Thony Silas Colored by Tony Aviña Lettered by Saida Temofonte Before jumping into the review of the book, here's a mini primer of sorts for the Wonder Woman and Superman installments. Wonder Woman:…
Batman Special #1: "The Player on the Other Side" Written by Mike W. Barr Illustrated by Michael Golden Inked by Mike DeCarlo Colored by Adrienne Roy As part of their "Gotham's Finest" sale on comics featuring Jim Gordon, Comixology has marked down quite a few notable issues that are worthy of attention. There's Year One,…
Two months ago, the “definitive continuity” of the DC Universe was shifted on its end with the disastrous results of Future’s End and Tim Drake’s transportation to a future ruled by the sentient robot Brother Eye. Dan Jurgens’ story has ranged from Neo-Gotham to the ruins of a prisoner camp known as The Lodge. Last issue, Max…
Last issue, the world of the JL3K leapt forward months into the future. I wasn’t sure how Keith Giffen and J.M. DeMatteis would handle the jump, but the flow has not been too terribly interrupted. Fans ofJustice League 3000 will certainly be able to catch up with everything that’s been going on the last two months,…
Midnighter #3 Written by Steve Orlando Pencils by ACO Inks by ACO and Hugo Petrus Colors by Romulo Fajaroo Jr Oh Midnighter, you psychotic, yet soft-hearted bastard... I know you're completely insane, but I think I love you... Ok, ok, I'm kidding... Kind of... No, seriously, I'm so glad I’ve been introduced to this character.…
This issue started off with a sense of urgency and intensity that made me think I was in for a real ride! Then I flipped the page and my willing suspension of disbelief was shattered.... The cliffhanger from last issue was Gordon getting out of the Batsuit to engage his 3 assailants head on. As…
Damian, comic related references, and insults lobbed at the selfie generation. Ladies and Gentlemen, what we have here is a good issue of Bat-Mite! The only thing I really ever wanted from this series was jokes custom made for comic fans. Ones that only we would get and appreciate. While Jurgens has only lightly peppered…
