Last month we saw that writer Peter J. Tomasi was not only going to tell a new Two-Face story with the latest arc of Batman and ___, but he would be rewriting history with an all-new origin that would be vastly different than the one from The Long Halloween, a fan favorite. This new take…
Thugs trying to extort a dojo, flashbacks to Dinah Drake's childhood, a training montage, a massive city-wide power outage, The League of Assassins, secret agents, a mysterious piece of technology that everyone wants, riots in the streets, an incoming hurricane--- THERE'S A LOT GOING ON IN THIS COMIC! I'd even say that there's too much…
While chowing on pizza, cakes, and candy in her storage shed stocked with toys and comic books, Harley Quinn begins to ponder what it would be like if she had her own comic. Who would write it? Who would draw it? She starts a conversation with herself, which in turn grows into a conversation with…
After JH Williams III and W. Haden Blackman walked off the title due to editorial differences, DC had to scramble to find suitable replacements. As of last week, solicitations still had issue #25 listed as a continuation of Williams' and Blackman's Batwoman vs. Batman arc and even DC themselves tweeted the very same synopsis yesterday…
I hope you're ready to have the Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! theme song stuck in your head the rest of the day because that's exactly what happened to me after reading Scooby-Doo Team Up by Sholly Fisch, Dario Brizuela, and Heroic Age. The first issue of this all-new series sees the Mystery Inc. crew investigating a…
Is anyone else having trouble keeping their Gotham disaster stories straight? There are two big storylines going on in our bat-titles this month. One is Zero Year, which takes place in the past where Riddler shut down power just as a hurricane blew into town. Then there's Forever Evil, which takes place in the present,…
While Li'l Gotham is well-known for its holiday specials, this month's issue doesn't celebrate any festival, feast day, or birthday whatsoever. Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs try something different by giving Batman a vacation. In the first of two stories collected in this comic, we see an exhausted Bruce return to the cave where he…
Yet another Zero Year tie-in out this week is "One Dark City Night" featuring a young Dick Grayson whose traveling circus just so happens to be performing in Gotham on the very night Riddler pulls the plug on the city's power. The comic opens in spectacular fashion with a group of masked ninjas fighting a…
Six years ago, a marine by the name of John Stewart was sent to Gotham City to help with the evacuation of a few hundred refugees before the arrival of an incoming hurricane. But what already sounded like a difficult task became all the more insurmountable when Stewart and his team discovered that there were…
In the previous issue of Justice League of America, the good guys from the JLA, Justice League, and Justice League Dark were trapped inside of a strange prison and yet Martian Manhunter and Stargirl were inexplicably capable of walking about freely. Issue #8 focused primarily on Martian Manhunter as he was given a tour of…
Wait, this was $3.99? I actually had to flip back through this one to see if there was extra content because it certainly felt like the average $2.99 length and it definitely doesn't have a glossy or embossed cover. It's 28 pages of Batgirl before she was Batgirl and I'll leave it to you to…
Things have gotten pretty heavy in Injustice: Gods Among Us lately, what with Batman and Superman finally going their separate ways and more than a few big name heroes biting the dust. But in the series' first Annual issue we turn our attention away from all that darkness and toward the comic's funniest characters, Green…
Arkham Unhinged #20 is the final issue of the series AND the 5th and final chapter of the "Bookbinder Saga" but IT DOES NOT END THE STORY! It doesn't end! There is no ending. This incredibly boring, five-issue long arc doesn't get a conclusion and there never will be a conclusion because it's over. The…
Edward Nygma has thrown Gotham into blackness and there are riots in the streets, but still the only thing on the GCPD's mind is the apprehension of the vigilante known as Batman. Batman #25 by Scott Snyder, Greg Capullo, Danny Miki, and FCO Plascencia begins the 2nd part of the Zero Year saga, "Dark City."…
I enjoyed the video game Injustice: Gods Among Us for the first week or so. The story had its flaws with its plot, characterization, convenient excuses for how everyone got their powers and how things could go back to normal by the end, but it was ultimately a pretty fun fighting game albeit more of…
With a Batman/Superman movie on the way, there's no better time than now to start reading some of the older adventures that paired the Caped Crusader with the Man of Steel. While the upcoming film might focus more on the rivalry between these two icons, this trade paperback is devoted to their post-crisis, adversarial relationship…
In one of DC's most unique series, All-Star Western, we follow Jonah Hex, Amadeus Arkham, and Tallulah Black as they hunt criminals, outlaws, an' unsavory types whut run afoul of the law. The third volume of this ongoing New 52 comic takes place once again in the Gotham of the late 1800's where we see…
Alfred had a daughter? Thorne had removed Gordon from office and put Batman on the wanted list? Deadshot's son was abducted?! Holy tonal-shift, Batman! This collection of the villainous marksman's most memorable stories is a showcase of comics at their darkest as well as their most wholesome. We may begin with a gritty 1988 mini-series…
We've reached the half-way point in the latest Batman: Black and White mini-series and this time the talent includes such names as Damion Scott, Paul Dini, Marv Wolfman, and Lee Berjmejo-- but does it live up to the Eisner Award-winning standards that this title is known for? I found issue #1 to be a triumph…
A young hero-in-the-making is the one and only friend of a victim of constant bullying until one day something fantastic happens to the abused boy and he is given extraordinary power. However, unlike our hero, the power corrupts the bullied kid and he and our hero's relationship is forever changed. It's a common tale in…
