0 on Nightwing #130 reviewNightwing #130 marks the begining of a new age in Blüdhaven. After quelling an interdimensional crisis, Nightwing returns his attention to Spheric and the gang conflict. Now, Nightwing must confront a new mayor, a runaway superhero, an out of control police force, and a sinking feeling that something is watching him! Of course, it won't…
Dark Patterns is making headlines. It’s inarguably been one of the most exciting DC Comics publishing moments in recent years. A certain other entertainment news outlet even recently named the incomplete series as one of the best titles of this incomplete decade. My praises of Dan Watters and Hayden Sherman’s Dark Patterns have been loud…
With the nightmare of Memento finally being extinguished, a new story arc starts with Batman and Robin #25. Fico Ossio takes over art duties as the Dynamic Duo get caught in the middle of a war of revenge. A hit man known simply as the Quiet Man has returned to Gotham to seek out those…
Put on your dancing shoes, because it's time to do the time warp and send ourselves back in time for another adventure in Victorian Gotham! Last time, I found myself pleasantly surprised at how much I found myself enjoying a series I had had middling to negative feelings about so far. So, what say you?…
Coming off the events of Batman: H2SH, Jason Todd finds himself out of Gotham and in the city of New Angelique. He’s looking for a new start and investigating a series of murders involving the city’s law enforcement. These crimes run deeper than anything he could’ve imagined, and he might need some help from The…
When this series began, its tone was clearly something that leaned into Snyder's propensity for over the top action and spectacle. It was camp, it was fun, and Batman fought with a battle axe while driving a giant dump truck as his Batmobile. However, as the series has gone on, I've noticed that it's started…
The first issue of Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League did a great job hooking the reader (a.k.a yours truly) in well and truly. An interesting premise, combined with decent reasoning and character work, did a lot of heavy lifting in keeping my interest. Add on some amazing art from Nicola Scott and Anette…
The assassin from the Unburied has fallen. Now, Batgirl and her brother, the Jade Tiger, must face a new adversary from the Blood of Wu. But unbeknownst to Cassandra, this new foe has a proposition for her. Will Cass embrace this proposal or will it turn deadly if she refuses? Batgirl #11 concludes “The Three…
The first issue of any new run is always a daunting task, especially when that comic's a renumbering of DC's flagship title. In a little over 20 pages, a writer needs to define their version of the character and what readers should expect going forward. Not only does that mean establishing the tone and status…
While in the midst of struggling to figure out what kind of crime fighter he wants to be, Jason has aligned himself with the ruthless vigilante, Wraith. Can Batman steer Jason back on the right path or is his fate set in stone? Issue #3 of Robin & Batman: Jason Todd concludes this miniseries by…
In another space and time, Batman patrols the universe as apart of a team of intergalactic monster hunters. At least, he used to be! In fact, the first issue of Kyle Higgins (Radiant Black) and Matt Groom's (Mighty Morphin) Immortal Legend Batman, begins with the hunt for Bruce Wayne. Deep in space, readers meet Wayne…
So now that We are Yesterday is literally yesterday’s news, we return to your regularly scheduled Justice League Unlimited programming Uh, what’s that? We have another event coming up? And the League will be a part of it? Including this issue? So it never ends? Well at least the content makes me feel like its…
For those who have kept up with the current Gotham by Gaslight series, and my reviews of it, you should know one thing: this series has felt like continual set up. The whole first 6 issue miniseries felt like set up for the Justice League, and the first issue of A League for Justice felt like set up for the…
Nite-Mite, Nightwing's biggest fan, transforms into a monster and interdimensional building against his will. Consequently, this traps Oracle and tween Bryce Moran inside of what used to be Titans Tower. Inside the entity, Nightwing faces several monstrous perversions of his life and inspirations. This includes a delusional version of Van-Zee, the original Kryptonian Nightwing. Now,…
Remember that HBO show Westworld? The one that started off strong but then the creative team got a bad case of the “I-need-to-be-smarter-than-my-viewers”-itis? For those who don’t know or have forgotten, the premise of that show was in extremely simplified terms was if humanity creates artificial life to do its bidding (which in an HBO…
This amazing milestone issue of Detective Comics celebrates the heart behind the Dark Knight like never before. In four major stories, readers get a glimpse of the compassion and heroic intentions driving the character. One story after another, Tec' #1100 unites several creative teams to deliver a supersized snapshot of the famous hero. Let's discuss…
Last month I said that the strongest parts of the story were less about the plot and more about the fun Bizarro premise. Well this issue seems to have taken that to heart, as it almost entirely leans into exploring the different aspects of the Bizarro world. It gets to the point where it runs…
Something that Absolute Batman focused on in its first arc was using its villain to both create parallels with Batman and also subvert traditional expectations for the characters. This new Bane origin story shows that what was true for Black Mask is even more so for him. His story is a sympathetic tragedy that acts…
The conclusion to the “Memento” arc is finally here! Now Damian is in a race against time to save his father and Lieutenant Lautrec from Memento. Or is it just a trap to lure Damian, so Memento can claim his true target? It’s been a long journey to get here, but the last couple of…
When we last left Cassandra, she sought out guidance from Bronze Tiger. What she found out was that she has a secret half-brother named Tenji Turner, a.k.a. The Jade Tiger! While still processing this shocking revelation, an assassin from the Unburied has come to kill Batgirl and any offspring from Lady Shiva. How will Cass…
