23 on Batman Eternal #23 reviewI've heard many people say that Mob Boss doesn't really suit Selina. But let us not forget that she wasn't always a cat burglar: while a thief from her very first appearance, she didn't rely on the skills she uses today but those of a master of disguise, carrying out her heists through deception and…
Print issue No. 11 collects the Digital Firsts 21 & 22, “Crashing to Earth” and “Canary’s Revenge”, and if you thought we might get a cool-down or some grieving space after last issue’s devastating turn of events, you’d be dead wrong. Because superhero comics are all about big drama and Injustice has been dealing out…
Note: Sorry for the delay, but we had some shipping problems and didn't get our copy of Batman: Assault on Arkham until September 3rd! The name "Batman: Assault on Arkham" along with some of the promotional stuff might lead you to think that it's going to be a direct adaptation of the Arkham games from…
My biggest problem with the Futures End stuff is that it just doesn't "matter". By that I mean, it isn't going to have any lasting effect on the universe as a whole! They are just little "what if" stories that DC are throwing out there for the fun of it. Sure, you're going to have…
Tiny Titans: Return to the Treehouse #4 Written by Art Baltazar and Franco Illustrated by Art Baltazar You need to look at this squid. He's a friend. If that's not the cutest thing you've ever seen, you need to stop reading this review right now, go back and look at it for awhile, and come…
Batman '66 Meets the Green Hornet #4: "The Treacherous Snare" Written by Kevin Smith and Ralph Garman Illustrated by Ty Templeton Colored by Tony Aviña Lettered by Wes Abbott Cover by Alex Ross This one will read better in the trade, methinks. We've reached the halfway point of the series, and after the high-octane first…
It's amazing how varied each issue of Futures End can be. Even within the same issue, one section can bring you up and another will bring you down. Last week was a good week for the title. This week, being the start of Futures End month, you'd think DC would hit hard like last week to hopefully snag a…
Justice League comes to us delayed for a couple issues, but it's nonetheless here. Do you remember what's going on with the new Power Ring? Jessica Cruz was chosen by Power Ring to be its next host. The Doom Patrol and the Justice League along with Lex Luthor all converge on Jessica Cruz's Power Ring breakdown.…
I don’t get it. I don’t get all of this. I don’t get the need for this, this Future’s End Month, and quite honestly, I don’t get the purpose behind Future’s End in general. I don’t get why we need to have some years’ long “epic” story, crossing dimensions and killing off a host of…
The September-long Futures End one-shots are rolling in. For me, it begins with Grayson and I couldn't be happier. I enjoyed this comic so much that I immediately had to read it again as soon as I finished. You will have to do the same, so be prepared. If you're having doubts about buying this issue, skip down to…
Kyle Higgins puts forth a super tight narrative, with no sidetracks or interruptions, featuring revealed secrets, classic Batman action, and two awesome villains! Surely, this issue should rank right up there with the best of them, and this is what I wish I could tell you, but sadly that is not the case. Don't get me…
That cover is worth the price alone! Last year, I felt that the villain's month covers were little more than a gimmick to draw in buyers and whenever the comic shop had standard covers available I would always buy them because I was only interested in the story and I didn't think the lenticular covers…
Batman ’66 #14: "The Batrobot Takes Flight/Bat-Villains Unite" Written by Jeff Parker Illustrated by Paul Rivoche and Craig Rousseau Colored by Tony Aviña Letters by Wes Abbott Mortality. We are all but men, mortal and finite, and even the greatest of heroes such as the Batman recognize this. What will happen when the Batman retires,…
Catwoman #34: “Remote Life” Written by Ann NOcenti Art by Patrick Olliffe For a while, I never thought this day would come... Today, Ann Nocenti released her last issue of Catwoman! I cannot begin to tell you how overjoyed I am. I know I've been hard on Ann, but the quality of work she turned…
If you've been following this series, you know the snail's pace that each story unfolds. Some story lines go a couple issues before they are even touched upon. Where is Tim? Where is Terry? Why do these stories seem like they belong in separate comics? Well, let me assure you: it has not been an…
Perhaps ironically titled “There are No Rules”, issue No. 10 tests readers’ expectations of what a Harley Quinn comic book ought to be. Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti left us off two weeks ago with Harley being introduced into the underworld of Skate Club. Here we pick up with Harley’s first bout in the no-holds-barred,…
Pardon my French, but Alfred Pennyworth is an utter badass! You would be forgiven for forgetting this fact as we are accustomed to seeing him do nothing more than make sandwiches and throw out witty banter, but this gentleman is more accomplished than most people give him credit for. Since Alfred has such an extensive…
This must be the Madden video game curse for comic books. Apparently, if an athlete is featured on the cover of a new Madden video game, that player will suffer significant injuries during the following season. Admittedly, I don't watch/care for much football, but I can safely say this: if an artist's name is "Lee"…
Featuring an Origin Story for Red Hood If you’ve been collecting these so far, get ready for that decision-making moment when you have to figure out whether you want the whole series just for itself or if you only like the Bat-related issues because after this one, No. 6 has no Bat-family related origin (Huntress…
Print issue No. 10 collects the Digital Firsts 19 & 20, “Air Assault” and “Gordon”. And while I’m going to drop the spoilers under cuts, suffice it to say that if you have played the game, you probably either a.) have a fairly good idea of how things are going down in this prequel, or…
