2 on Batman Beyond Universe #8 reviewThe latest installment of Batman Beyond Universe features not two stories, but three! I'll talk about them all and let you know if this issue is worth picking up or if you should just sit it out until the next arc begins in April. System Override: Boss Level Written by Christos Gage Pencils by Iban…
Who's ready for more stories inspired by the classic TV series?! Well, the solicitation for this issue certainly said we would be getting more of the villainous cowboy Shame this issue and the cover definitely shows Shame's boots, but alas there is no Shame to be found within Batman '66 #9. However, it does feature…
It was an event that had been in the making since the very launch of the New 52. In September 2011, every #1 debut issue of DC's relaunch featured a Where's Waldo-esque appearance by a cloaked woman who we would later learn to be none other than the Pandora of Greek myth. Little was known…
While the monthly print issues of Legends of the Dark Knight may have ended, the series lives on in weekly digital installments and the quarterly "100-Page Super Spectacular." The latest Super Spectacular collects digital chapters #38-40, #51, #53-55, and #59-60. It'll set you back $10 bucks, but it packs plenty of content to make it…
Last month, we saw the introduction of a new villain named "Silver" who believed that the Bat-family were vampires and the city was just under some sort of hypnotic delusion that he, his attractive servant, and the Batman's rogues gallery were impervious to. In fact, Silver thought the super-villains were actually freedom fighters trying to…
Not to cause a scandal or alarm anyone in any way, but I wasn't blown away by the conclusion to "Dark City." Yep, I'm the guy. I'm the guy who is going to be giving this one a "good but not great" review. In fact, now that "Dark City" is over I can say that…
Now comes the end of one of my favorite Bat-titles, Batman: Li'l Gotham and I believe that Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs, its creators, gave it a wonderful send-off. Once again, the print issue features two stories in one. The first is a simple tale that's just played for laughs, but the second and final…
There's a prevailing sense throughout the past year's worth of Nightwing comics that writer Kyle Higgins had big plans for Dick Grayson in Chicago but as soon as Forever Evil began dictating terms for the entire DC Universe the series grew a bit aimless until we reached this 2-part finale of issues #28 and #29. It's obviously…
No fan of Andy Kubert's Batman will want to miss this showcase of the artist's best work from the past decade presented in the prestige "Deluxe Edition" format. Every issue has been reprinted in its original pencils without ink or color so every minute detail of the craft is clearly visible. Content Batman Unwrapped: Andy…
Awwwww snap! We got the coat, son! The Dark Knight Rises coat is cannon! And that's pretty much the only new and positive observation I have to make about Forever Evil: Arkham War #6. Goodnight, everybody! Recommended If... Overall It's really just more of the same only this time a little worse because most of the…
Remember when the new creative team had Luke Fox getting in adventures in Italy and other locations around the globe while occasionally coming home to confront re-invented C-list baddies like Ratcatcher and I was all like "Hey everyone, come check out Batwing, it's really good now!" Well... for whatever reason we're diving into an aspect…
No, you didn't miss it! Cartoon Network never aired episodes 12 and 13 of Beware the Batman, but they are available now on the Beware the Batman: Season 1 Part 1: Shadows of Gotham Blu-ray/DVD and if you want the show to survive in any way then I suggest you go out and buy that immediately.…
"Arena" is that rare sequel that far exceeds the original. In fact, it might be the best issue of Batman/Superman so far. Yes, long-delayed Annual is directly connected to the 3-part video game-themed storyline (Game Over, Boss Fight, & Endgame) that had Mongul using gamers and plants to take over the world or-- it doesn't…
It's John Layman's final issue of Detective Comics and the conclusion of the "Gothtopia" saga. Scarecrow concocted a "Contentment Serum" that made everyone in Gotham so happy it was as if they were living in a utopia. Why did he do this? Because the level of fear you get from an individual who knows only…
I came into chapter 6 skeptical after all the delays and the slow build-up of the first few issues, but I must say that all of the setup from Forever Evil and Justice League (if you didn't read the Crime Syndicate origins, you should) is all paying off now. Big time. If you read the…
The Batman/Superman & Worlds' Finest 4-part crossover event continues and, in my opinion, takes a nose-dive in quality. It might be a good time to eject, float gently to the ground knowing you saved a few bucks, and fly with Batman/Superman again when the title embarks on a different adventure. NOTE: You will need to…
Jae Lee returns as artist and the Worlds' Finest teams of two different universes meet for the first time in "First Contact" Part I, which is released the same day as Part II. Having read both, I'll give you my thoughts on Batman/Superman #8, an idea as to what you should expect from Worlds' Finest…
I always loathe when "There's a new __Name A Villain_ and this one's worse than the original!" or "_Name A Villain__ has a Father/Mother/Daughter/Son you've never heard of and they're a villain now too!" and there's a lot of both of those elements at play in issue #28 "Corporate Raider." Fortunately, this somewhat predictable Man-Bat story…
The original creator of the series is gone, the whole Calvin Rose epic that began with issue #0 felt like it was nicely wrapped up 2 months ago, the last issue that was also written by an all-new writer was utterly pointless, and now we have what appears to be a totally unnecessary 2-part storyline…
Not enough people are talking about what happens in this comic! I know I've been getting a little more relaxed in the pace I release reviews. I think I deserve it after cranking out 4-8 reviews (clocking in at around a thousand words an article, this one's 1,900+ by the way) per Wednesday, but I…
