5 on Arkham Asylum: Living Hell Deluxe Edition reviewWhite collar criminal, Warren White, figures he's got the system beat. By pleading insanity, White thinks he'll spend a short spell in the relaxed hospital environment rather than serving hard time in a "real" prison. Unfortunately for him, that harmless institution he was hoping for doesn't exist in Gotham. He's going to Arkham Asylum, a…
Well, it’s over. It’s all over. This misguided debacle of a series has come to an end, and do you want to know the worst thing? This issue was really, really good. I loved it. Batman was so cool in this issue, Wonder Woman was a stone-cold assassin, and Superman was the most human we’ve…
I'd like to tell you all that this issue is awesome and that things are finally kicking into high gear, but that just isn't the case. At this point, Eternal doesn't feel like it has any gas left, and instead of speeding over that finish line, it's just coasting to the end. A lot of…
Why? This might be the question you ask yourself after reading this book. Why did I buy this?...why did I read this?...why did they make this?........why does Harper look like a man? Most of the time, I get the impression that a comic starts with a writer brainstorming an idea that forms into a story…
New Suicide Squad #8 "Defective" Written by Sean Ryan Art by Rob Hunter & Scott Hanna Dear God, this book is awful! I know Sean has been slaughtering Worlds' Finest in his reviews, but I'm willing to bet that this book gives it a run for its money. Sean Ryan has officially been added to…
This issue collects Digital Firsts 21 & 22 respectively titled “Goodbyes and Farewells” and “Hellfire and Damnation”. This is the penultimate issue to Year Three before Injustice goes dark for a little nap during the Convergence event that will subsume everything until DC is neatly ensconced on the opposite coast. We should be gearing up…
Batman: Arkham Knight #1- "Death of a Rival" Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Viktor Bogdanovic Inks by Art Thibert Colored by John Rauch Letters by Travis Lanham It's so very easy for a tie-in comic to become a cash-grab: get a familiar property, write a series that "reveals more of the story" or…
Forces are gathering against the Justice League, whether it is the oncoming onslaught of Etrigan’s demons or the sinister hidden danger that comes from the Injustice League. “Burning Bright” brings the former of the two front and center, as the Justice League readies to battle Etrigan’s demons alongside the knights of Camelot-Nine. If you like…
In recent months, Earth 2 has served as a sort of supplement to it’s weekly cousin, World’s End. This week the formula is changed, and instead of getting another origin story or a one-shot of less-featured characters readers were treated to what is basically another issue of World’s End. So that’s two issues this week,…
When the Justice League is dead, villains must become our heroes. In Forever Evil, the League's evil mirror image from another dimensions conquers Earth and only Lex Luthor can save the day. It's been almost a year since the highly publicized mini-series Forever Evil concluded so I thought it would be a good idea to…
This week we were treated to a bit of a surprise by Earth 2 and Earth 2: World’s End. The two books run almost concurrently with one another, and the stories tie in very closely. They both also feature the “jumping around from scene to scene” method that World’s End has been doing. I really…
Grayson #8: "Cross my Heart and Hope to Die” Written by Tom King and Tim Seeley Illustrated by Michael Janín Colored by Jeromy Cox Letters by Carlos M. Mangual Now this... this is more like it. The worst thing about this issue is that it flies by. It's so exciting and the pacing is so…
Green Arrow #40 “Kingdom” Story by Andrew Kreisberg & Ben Sokolowski Script by Ben Sokolowski Pencils by Daniel Sampere Inks by Daniel Henriques Colors by Gabe Eltaeb Alright! We’re covering Green Arrow on Batman News! How about that? Clearly this isn’t a book we typically cover, but this issue features Batman, so we wanted to…
Up to this point, I've genuinely been enjoying the Anarchy story, only to discover in this closing chapter that it was not an Anarchy story at all. As a reader, I feel lied to. It ends up being nothing more than a inventive ruse designed to hide the personal nature of the actual crime at…
It's a miracle! We have an issue of Batman Eternal with Gordon in it! We haven't seen hide nor hair of Gordon nor Bard since issue #38, and we have not seen any kind of real progression in the story since then either. Here's hoping that getting Gordon back into the fold gets our story…
If you haven’t been reading Harley Quinn, but are curious about this series, this is a pretty great jumping on point. “Demental Overload” begins a new arc and looks like it might be establishing a new direction for the Mistress of Mayhem. In this issue, Harley comes face to face with her competing goals and,…
The quickening of pace during the past several issues of Futures End has been enjoyable. Seeing Brainiac land in New York, Superman return to the world, and Bruce becoming more involved has made the series pretty enjoyable; lots of big stuff has happened. So when I read this issue, I wasn't dismayed by the attention to small(ish)…
Oh, there are some good ideas in "Clay," but there are also an abundance of bad ones like: "Hey, it'd be cool if Batman could make a light construct like the Green Lantern does but it can only be a cup!" or "What if Man-Bat's dad was an even bigger, meaner Man-Bat!" Each tale in…
Gotham Academy #5 "Save the Last Dance" Written by Becky Cloonan and Brenden Fletcher Art by Karl Kerschl Colors by Msassyk and Serge LaPointe No, your eyes are not deceiving you. I gave this issue a 9.5! Why? Because we're five months in, and this book continues to surprise me! It’s charming, fun, and has…
You know when you're driving in a 55mph speed limit zone but everyone around you insists on going 45. That's how I've felt for the last 2 months in regards to the Batman Eternal storyline. "Just go already!" This weeks chapter meanders through 9 different stories! And only 2 of them were able to hold…
