8 on Batman '66: The Lost Episode #1 reviewBatman ’66: The Lost Episode #1: “The Two-Way Crimes of Two-Face!” Written by Len Wein Based on an outline by Harlan Ellison Illustrated by Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez Colored by Alex Sinclair Lettered by Wes Abbott Cover by Alex Ross Now that's a list of talent right there. You've got Len Wein, creator of Wolverine and…
This review is done a little differently, so just bear with me. Issue #7 “Arrival” is very good, probably the best issue in this series since Issue #1. I admit I may have been a bit overzealous in my review of Issue #2, but this is a very, very good book. Now, why such the…
Multiversity: Pax Americana #1 “In Which We Burn” Written by Grant Morrison Art by Frank Quitely Yes, you read that correctly, I gave this issue a ten. A ten! The highest score I’ve given other than this, is a nine, and that’s only happened twice (ironically, they were both on Catwoman, which also has the…
I think the first thing I must say about this issue is the art. Jason Fabok's art is extraordinarily solid. The title page is nothing but a Metropolis street with crashed cars and $100 bills floating around... but it looks amazing. He has a knack for those stunning hero shots similar to Jim Lee with…
Part four of the Robin Rises saga is sure to delight many readers. Whereas other titles take a more subtle approach to Batman, this one is letting Bruce off the leash --with rabies. I have qualms with some mechanics of the story, but reading it in light of past issues and where the story is heading,…
What is the worst thing about this issue? You're on the last page before you realize it! I usually take notes as I read, for the sake of these reviews, but I found myself on the last page without having written anything down. I was so engrossed in the story, that I just read it…
When the title of this issue is called “Not Kansas” you have to be prepared to not only leave Coney Island, but the world as we know it. Last we saw our newly formed not-so-dynamic duo of Harley Quinn and Power Girl, they were about to get into fisticuffs in a shopping mall with the…
I would like to take this moment today, dear Injustice, to say that you’re among friends. We care about you very very much and I feel like it’s time for an intervention. Something’s just not right and I’d like to try to understand what’s happening with you. There are some uneasy undercurrents in your plotting,…
Batman ’66 Meets the Green Hornet #6: “The End of Crime's Tether” Written by Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman Illustrated by Ty Templeton Colored by Tony Aviña Lettered by Wes Abbott Cover by Alex Ross All good things, right? Here we've reached the end of the story Kevin Smith, Ralph Garman, and Ty Templeton (with…
When I saw the cover and solicitation for this book, I immediately thought of my favorite moment from the most recent iteration of the Batman/Superman line. Bruce and Clark meet as kids and have that baseball moment while Jonathan and Alfred male-bond over a broken-down car. It was awesome, because it highlighted the qualities of…
Another issue, another book that leaves me feeling that something is missing. Maybe that’s a bad explanation. I’m still not sure if Daniel H. Wilson’s story is at fault here, or if it is being parsed and broken apart by editorial influence. Whether it is an issue count that this story needs to reach, or…
Kyle Higgins and Jason Fabok have outdone themselves! This issue is officially in my top three best issues of Batman Eternal thus far, and I couldn’t be more pleased with it. We end up getting a massive number of resolutions to plot lines that were hanging out there and a fantastically explosive setup for the…
New Suicide Squad #4 "Pure Insanity" Written by Sean Ryan Art by Rob Hunter and Trevor Scott Before I begin my review, I want everyone to know that I was really rooting for this book. When DC announced the reboot, I felt like it was a great opportunity to leave behind some poor storytelling, and…
Excuse me for a moment while I pick my brain up off the floor, it seems to have leaked out my ear because it could not contain the level of awesomeness that this comic displayed. Seriously though, if this issue had been nothing more than an extension of the first 10 pages I would have…
Lois is leaping! Faraday and Fifty Sue are featured! Batman beats Batman! Madison is missing! These are all alliterated sentences that are both true and over-hyped. Yes, over-hyped. You see that cover above these words? Do you know where my level of Futures End excitement was at when I laid eyes on it? Up to here (I'm…
Last month I promised I would review this book from the perspective of its new intended audience. Just one problem: I’m not sure I quite have a solid grasp of who exactly that audience might be. Judging from certain plot points in issue no. 35, it seemed to be geared toward a 14+ female hipster…
Batman has had a long, complex history in comics. 75 years worth, in fact. While we here at Batman News strive to stay on top of every new issue and release that features the Dark Knight, the Bat-family, and his Rogues Gallery that comes out on a weekly basis, it's that history that has made…
Welcome back to World’s End, where so many cool things happen but the book never stops and breaths in order for the reader to see how things will play out. It’s like dealing with six screaming kids in a toy store, all trying to figure out what to play with but they keeping throwing their…
Who’s up for an origin story? Anyone? How about four? “Origins” is just that, with a look into the pasts of the Four Furies of Apokolips. The exploration of the issue as a whole is going to be pretty short, seeing as how this is mostly background for some characters who haven’t really made an…
This issue of Grayson takes us down a slightly different path than we've seen before. There is a mission involving a body part, there is a "love" interest, and there is the reminder that this guy used to be Nightwing. Spyral is paranoid and Dick is fun. What makes this issue different is that the story by…
