18 on New 52 - Batman and Two-Face #24 reviewLast week we saw the birth of the Joker take place in Zero Year, but it appears that the New 52 birth of Two-Face really snuck up on us! It's never explained how, but Two-Face has escaped from Arkham Asylum (he was locked up again at the end of Death of the Family and this…
The latest issue of Justice League of America by Matt Kindt and Doug Mahnke is a drawn-out and often repetitive installment that kinda-sorta answers the question "What happened to all the good guys?" On the opening page of JLA #8 we learn that Stargirl and Martain Manhunter have somehow been spared the same fate as…
A whiny Batman, a Ke$ha-esque Selina Kyle, a resurrection by cat-licking, and a demonic possession. This is Ann Nocenti & Rafa Sandoval's Catwoman and it's one of the worst things I've read. Content This softcover collects New 52 - Catwoman issues #0, 13-18. It's important to note that issue #18 was part of the Requiem…
Note: Do NOT read The Joker: Death of the Family until you have already finished Batman, Vol. 3: Death of the Family, which goes on sale October 30th. When the New 52 began in September of 2011, one of the first stories to really grab headlines was Tony Daniel's Detective Comics #1. That comic featured…
Give yourself a pat on the back if you were patient enough to wait and see if there would be a deluxe release! This version has both films for the price of one, all previous bonus features plus some new material, and it comes with a few collectible cards making it clearly the best option.…
When Karen Traviss initially took over Arkham Unhinged I was intrigued. She was shaping a smarter story and a more fully-realized Gotham City. She was even approaching the concept of Arkham City from a new angle-- that of the average Gothamite who was been displaced by the construction of the super prison. She dug deep…
It might be October for us, but Li'l Gotham is celebrating the holidays of June and July in this issue and it's just as adorable as you'd expect it to be. Minazuki What's Minazuki? It's June. Apparently there weren't any good holidays in this summer month so creators Derek Fridolfs and Dustin Nguyen just went…
At 64 pages, this isn't a comic book, it's a novella. And while the $6.99 price might sound high at first, I assure you it's well worth every penny. Issue #24 is an important milestone for the New 52 because it showcases not only the birth of the Batman, but his arch enemy as well…
It's the conclusion to what's definitely the best arc of the Kyle Higgins' Nightwing so far, but it also wraps things up a little too quickly and a little too neatly. When we left things off 2 months ago, Prankster had henchmen causing chaos all over town and he had even turned the entire city against…
Batgirl is a dark comic where a variety of awful things happen to our heroine in every issue, but no installment was as brutal as part one of Batgirl: Wanted. In that chapter we saw Ricky, the boy Barbara had just started dating, racing to save the life of his brother but along the way…
If you haven't been following the DC Universe event Forever Evil then this comic might come off as a little strange to you as it casually mentions that the moon is permanently eclipsing the sun, Batman is missing along with the rest of the Justice League, and every inmate from Arkham and Blackgate has apparently…
Professor Pyg and Mr. Toad have returned just in time for Gotham's Fashion Week, but they are none too happy about couture culture. Soon enough, the city's most famous fashionistas are targets and the Batman must piece together bizarre clues relating to an old and seemingly unrelated nursery rhyme in order to rescue the victims…
As you can probably tell by the awesome cover by Jason Fabok and Blond, this book is almost entirely action. When you pit Batman against Wrath AKA The Anti-Batman, all the toys get brought out and we end up with an explosive finale full of mech-suits, tanks, jets, and more. If it feels like the…
Batman: Black and White returned in grand fashion last month with a first issue that hit all the right notes to deliver visual storytelling at its very finest. This is a series that has a long history of excellence and the premiere issue kept that tradition alive with a collection of tales that were funny,…
The Justice Leagues are all dead and every supervillain has been unleashed upon the world. It's a new world order and the Crime Syndicate, an evil incarnation of our universe's heroes, is in control. Last issue, the Crime Syndicate savagely beat Nightwing and then exposed his identity for all to see. What other horrors are…
The month-long hiatus caused by Villains Month reminds me how much I wish DC would implement a recap page at the front of every book. When Batwing's armor began to malfunction and the assassin Lady Vic cast our hero off the roof of a Gotham skyscraper it was August 7th. Now it's October and we…
Maxwell is a little boy with the ability to create anything he wants by writing it in a magic notebook. He also has a twin sister named Lily that can travel anywhere thanks to a magical globe and together he and Lily venture to the DC Universe for some adventure. Upon their arrival the globe…
Anarky returns and this time he's playing Batman and the League of Assassins against each other. If his plan works, both the Batman and Lady Shiva will be responsible for unleashing a deadly contagion on all of Gotham City. Katana learns about sacrifice. Directed by Sam Liu. Written by Mark Banker. When the opening scene…
In a month full of so many filler comics, Injustice: Gods Among Us #9 really shines. Here is a book with a purpose, a story to tell. In last month's issue-- which I highly suggest you read first-- the world was under attack by the armies of Apokolips and Kalibak himself (a character I'd like…
It's very similar to last November's Arkham Unhinged #8 and it has a lot of the same flaws as that comic as well. First off, the cover by Patrick Gleason looks pretty cool in my opinion (even if he drew Croc with only 3 fingers and a thumb) and once again you have to applaud…
