22 on New 52 - Batman and Wonder Woman #30 reviewAfter being defeated at his island base, Ra's al Ghul absconded with the bodies of Talia and Damian to the mysterious Paradise Island. Like any mortal man, Bruce does not know the way to the mythological locale and employs Wonder Woman to guide him on the next stage of his journey to recover the remains…
The delay certainly hurt momentum, but Justice League #29 is a great issue for Cyborg and The Metal Men. Personally, I would love to see a "Cyborg & The Metal Men" comic once Forever Evil is finally over and done with because this group of characters is fun. All of the ingredients of a fun…
The final volume of J.H. Williams III and W. Haden Blackman's Batwoman doesn't just feel like the end of their run, but the end of an era that began all the way back with Greg Rucka & Williams in 2006's Detective Comics. The story never broke! Not when the Detective Comics gig returned to Batman and not…
Any casual fan could pick up part one of Zero Year's Secret City or Dark City and grasp that this was a Batman origin, but show them part one of Savage City and watch their head spin! "What the heck happened?!" is what they'd likely say and it's a question that Bruce Wayne is asking as…
Batman Eternal is a year-long event with a new chapter every week, so why is it in such a hurry? Issue #2 is kind of a mess. To me it felt like all five writers (Scott Snyder & James Tynion IV with Ray Fawkes, John Layman, and Tim Seeley) just threw all of their ideas…
ALERT: This comes with Superman Beyond too! While there was originally a Justice League Beyond, Vol. 1 and a Superman Beyond, Vol. 1 sold separately, their second volumes have been lumped together in this collection that only bears the Justice League Beyond name! Contents Justice League Beyond: In Gods We Trust features all chapters of Justice…
"Batman Beyond: Batgirl Beyond" has the sound of an original graphic novel about an entirely new element of the Beyond Universe-- and perhaps that's what was intended-- but it's actually the 2nd volume of Batman Beyond Unlimited and the Batgirl Beyond portion is but a single chapter. And while it does seem kind of deceiving…
Batgirl #30 goes back and forth on whether or not it wants to be an emotional requiem issue for Nightwing or a fun throw-away issue about a monster called The Midnight Man that teenagers summon during a night of underage drinking. It's well-drawn, overwritten, and it could have been fun if only it had overcome…
One down, fifty-one more to go. The all-new weekly series Batman Eternal by Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Ray Fawkes, John Layman, Tim Seeley, Jason Fabok, and other talented creators begins in big, blockbuster fashion with an action-packed issue that devotes more time toward the GCPD than the titular Dark Knight. Fans of last year's Detective…
Batman Eternal is finally here. That's pretty much all you need to know. Here’s the full list of review comics out this week, April 9th, graded on a scale of my own anticipation: The Anticipation Scale NOcenti – A comic I downright dread reading and if I wasn’t a reviewer, I would never buy it. (I capitalized…
Let me set the stage-- It wasn't that long ago that every bat-title was swept up in the Bruce Wayne frame-up, but those who are only familiar with a New 52 Batman will recognize very little about the Gotham of the early 00's. Barbara Gordon is still wheelchair bound and serving as Oracle, Ted Kord…
The cover reads "SOARING TO NEW HEIGHTS... BUT FOR HOW LONG?" and that pretty much sums up how I feel about the Batwing title right now. It's been good and getting even better ever since Justing Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti took over about a year ago. Luke Fox has made for an interesting character and his adventures…
It's an all-new storyline written and illustrated by an all-new creative team so hop aboard, eager reader! If you've been waiting for the right opportunity to try out a New 52 Batman comic, this is your chance (and don't forget about next week's Batman Eternal #1 while you're at it). In my review of Batman '66, Vol.…
I've been doing this for 2 and a half years now. Every Wednesday I read several Batman comics (it can be anywhere from 2-6) and write an article about each of them, plus there's the occasional graphic novel to tackle as well as a movie or cartoon here or there. I've absorbed more Batman-related material…
The current wave of Justice League graphic novels are a bit muddled because their issues intermingled during a crossover event called Trinity War and as a result JLA Volume 1, Justice League Dark Volume 4, and this book right here are all missing 4 chapters because if a particular chapter didn't feature the same title,…
It's funny, I can't remember the last time I played Injustice: Gods Among Us (video game) but I find myself looking forward to the comic every month. In fact, I hardly even associate the two things anymore. When I hear "Injustice: Gods Among Us" the comic is always what comes to mind first and issues…
Thank goodness for Talon #17. The first two comics I reviewed today were awful, but this here was highly enjoyable. Not a single page is wasted in this ambitious 2-parter that sees Calvin Rose attempt to infiltrate one of Ra's al Ghul's infamous Lazarus Pits so he may once again live a normal life. At…
It's over. Batman: The Dark Knight #29 marks the end of my least-favorite solo Batman title. Before I get started let me just briefly point out where this series went wrong: It originally started before the New 52 during the height of Nolan-mania, hence the title "Batman: The Dark Knight." But instead of trying to…
No, you're seeing things right. DC actually released Part 4 of the "First Contact" saga 3 weeks ahead of Part 3's on-sale date. When I brought this up on last Sunday's "Upcoming Comics" article I asked if you all wanted me to review this now or wait until Part 3 came out and to my…
It's Batman and Aquaman teaming up to find Robin's body. Sound strange? It is, but it's a good kind of strange that I think will get you really excited about this all-new arc (it's a great jumping-on point) and it makes for an awesome continuation of Grant Morrison's work on the New 52 Batman Incorporated…
