6 on New 52 - Batgirl #26 reviewSay what you will about the hard-to-swallow motivations of some of the characters and the sporadic release schedule of this arc, but the covers for Batgirl: Wanted have been breath-taking and issue #26 is no exception. Best of all, I think fans of Gail Simone's Barbara Gordon will be equally pleased with what's behind that…
It's odd to see the Gotham blackout and Riddler take such a backseat, but the idea of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo reimagining Batman's first supervillain, Doctor Death, has managed to be a rather enjoyable (and disturbing) distraction. At the end of last month's issue, Lucius Fox jabbed a syringe into Bruce's neck and as…
When compared with issue #19, the first chapter of the first arc in Nightwing's Chicago adventure's, issue #26 is a bit of a snooze. I mean, that first arc we had Nightwing being chased by police while he himself hunted the man who killed his parents, we caught a glimpse of a serial killer who…
A Dustin Nguyen illustrated cover that pays homage to the classic Jack Burnley cover from the 1940's AND a beloved Batman: The Animated Series episode? Come on. While it's worth picking up this $2.99 comic for that cover alone, you're also in store for what I think is the best issue of Batman: Li'l Gotham yet!…
It's safe to say that the Justice League title isn't really about the Justice League anymore, but that in no way means that it's something you should skip. The main event is indeed Forever Evil and Justice League has been turned into supplemental material for that saga, but it is very good supplemental material that…
"Crown of Fear" is a done-in-one comic that's devoted to wrapping up a storyline that's been featured in the background of Detective Comics since April. It's a Man-Bat feature that's loaded with enough exposition and editor's notes that a new reader could conceivably jump on, but I wouldn't recommend it. It would simply be too…
Under the alias of "Duke Turner," Luke Fox travels to Italy to find Italian crime lord, Charlie Caligula, who is hosting a one of a kind fighting tournament. If you love stories about a secret agent trying to infiltrate a death match, be it Enter the Dragon or Gymkata, you're going to walk away from…
This video game themed storyline may serve as mindless fun after a rather serious opening arc, but I think it has gone on for long enough. In fact, I had a moment midway through this comic when I paused for a moment and said a little prayer hoping that it would all wrap-up nicely within…
The title may be "Batman and Robin" but it's The Boy Wonder who steals the show and makes the book his own. Batman and Robin, Vol. 3: Death of the Family features some of the best moments Damian Wayne has ever had, but it's also only 4-issues long (not counting the final chapter of Snyder…
Nearly all of the volume 3 New 52 Bat-titles were labeled "Death of the Family" but Red Hood and the Outlaws is one of the only books to really deserve it. This is Death of the Family material through-and-through. Not only are you getting the actual Death of the Family tie-in issues, but this TPB…
November is finally over and I couldn't be happier. This month was so full of crossover tie-ins, annuals, and mini-series that I definitely had to review way more books than usual. Still, I found some time to check out a few non-bat titles to deliver yet another installment of "Break from Batman." This segment is…
Talon #13 is the penultimate chapter in creator James Tynion IV's run on the series so, of course, it's not a new-reader friendly issue. If you haven't ever read a Talon comic before but plan on it, then I recommend you exit out of this window now, go pick up Talon, Volume 1 and start…
With the exception of Arkham Unhinged, DC's Digital First comics have been some of the best, most consistent titles I've reviewed. Batman: Li'l Gotham will be ending next month (digitally anyway, we still have a few more months of print issues remaining) and it's always been a joy, Batman Beyond Universe is a gripping and…
It was an arc that felt "too soon" what with Clayface already having a 2-parter in Snyder & Capullo's Batman and another short story in John Layman & Jason Fabok's Detective Comics, but the first chapter of Gregg Hurwitz and Alex Maleev's Clayface storyline was indeed a great start. However, my feelings quickly shifted back…
A coherent, beautifully illustrated story about a street-tough woman with sex-appeal who resides in a moral grey zone that allows her to be a smart anti-hero who helps others yet serve her own self interest more often than not as she moonlights as a thief. She slips seamlessly into elegant parties, steals priceless items, she's…
Gotham writhes in darkness as a hurricane roars over the horizon; it is a city in chaos on the brink of even greater disaster. A state of emergency is in effect and the call has been sent out for all law enforcement agencies to offer whatever aid they can muster. One of the brave souls…
I didn't think the first face I would see in issue #2 would be as bad as what greeted me in issue #1 but I was wrong. I opened this up, took one look, laughed out loud and threw the comic back to the table. Jeez... the first panel looks like an old Asian man…
Real talk, Bat-fans, do you guys really like the New 52 direction for Jason Todd? I really want to hear your thoughts in the comments below. I'll get to the review in a minute but I want to address this first. Let's face it, this review is late anyway so who cares, am I right?…
Do you remember the episode of Adam West & Burt Ward's television series in which the dynamic duo battled "The Sandman"? I didn't, but I was eager to see this character return for one more battle and we're going to talk about it in this review right here, right now! The Sandman Says Good Night…
This is the end. Issue #4 of Batman Beyond Universe serves as the closing chapter in both Batman Beyond & Justice League Beyond's debut storylines and while it's rewarding read for the most part, there was one comic that left satisfied and another that left me wanting more. Justice League Beyond Power Struggle -- Zone…
