10 on Justice League #23.4 - Secret Society #1 reviewIt's not really Secret Society #1, it's more like Owlman #1 or Outsider #1. But while it doesn't offer a whole lot in the Secret Society department it does give us a glimpse at what's sure to be a pretty big part of the next issue of Forever Evil and plenty of interesting things to…
It's highly likely that you'll spend more time reading this review than you will reading the actual comic because this book is a lightning-quick read. In the spirit of that, I'm going to try my hardest to keep my own review short, but seeing as how I almost always hit a thousand words... Does it…
The architect behind the upcoming Arkham War event, Peter J. Tomasi, gives us his last Villain book of the month and it's about one of the most popular Batman villains of our time, Bane. Another cool thing about this issue is that it's illustrated by Bane's original co-creator, Graham Nolan. But is it actually a…
Someone has sabotaged a U.S. naval weapons test and sparked a war with Atlantis. Now it's a race against the clock to not only find out who is responsible for the attack but to rescue the countless innocent lives that are in danger as an enraged Atlantis begins to sink coastal cities into the sea.…
No, his costume isn't the coolest and yes it is a title that cashed in on the success of The Court of Owls arc from Scott Snyder's Batman but trust me, this book will exceed your expectations and be 100% worth your time and money. Content Talon, Vol. 1: Scourge of the Owls is written…

Realizing she's in over her head, Batwoman enlists the help of someone who has experience slaying beasts of Greek mythology, Wonder Woman.

Ra's al Ghul has lived for hundreds of years and witnessed the rise and fall of empires. Some civilizations have even crumbled at his feet. So how does the Demon's head react to the emergence of the Secret Society of Super Villains? Writer James Tynion IV proves with this issue that he gets the character.…
The only thing I hate about this series is that it makes me want to watch a show that I can't find. As I read Batman '66 I hear Adam West delivering all of Batman's lines, Ceaser Romero's laugh, creepy Vincent Price delivering egg puns, and, of course, I can hear the trumpets blow with…
This is a tough one to judge because it's without a doubt one of the most important villain books you can buy, but it's not exactly a well put-together comic in my eyes. It's a real mixed bag of a tale that perhaps tries to do and say too much in too few pages. Scarecrow…
I was really impressed with Batman Beyond last month but Justice League Beyond's unwillingness to take risks and focus on Superman made dragged down the overall quality of the comic. This month, however, both books pull their weight and deliver a very entertaining read from start to finish. Power Struggle: Ghosts of the Past We…
We have seen quite a lot of Clayface lately. Batman's shape-shifting villain has had multi-chapter stories in Batman and Batman: The Dark Knight (which is currently an ongoing story with quite a few more issues to go) and he's had several cameo appearances in everything from Detective Comics to Justice League! So how exactly does…
"Bullies" by Frank Tieri and Christian Duce is a pretty satisfying Penguin story for those who loved Gregg Hurwitz's portrayal of the character back in Penguin: Pain & Prejudice. It doesn't try and tie itself into the larger Forever Evil epic at all, in fact Gotham feels even more normal (or as normal as Gotham…
Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight was originally launched in 1989 to attract new readers flooding into comic shops after the release of Tim Burton's BATMAN. The comic picked up where Frank Miller's Batman: Year One left off and featured rotating creative teams that told short stories or 5-issue long arcs (my personal favorite being…
Mob boss Tobias Whale is caught dead-to-rights, but the tables turn in his favor when Whale's men kidnap Lieutenant Gordon's daughter. With only 4 hours to find his little girl, Jim Gordon must turn to the vigilante Batman and his new sidekick Katana for help. Directed by Rick Morales. Written by Erin Maher & Kathryn…
The latest issue of little Gotham has a parental theme with both a Mother's Day and Father's DAy special packed into one $2.99 issue that's sure to please both kids and adults with its comedy as well as its sentimentality. And, as usual, the watercolors by Dustin Nguyen are just as adorable as ever and…
Here we are at chapter 3 of Karen Traviss' Bookbinder saga, an arc that will close out the Arkham Unhinged series in November. If you didn't like what you read in issues #17 or #18 then you won't like what's here or anything else left to come from this title and if you haven't read…
It has very little to do with Zero Year and Scott Snyder didn't write it, but Batman #23.2 "The Riddler #1" is one of the best Villains Month books you can buy. Ray Fawkes (who is working from a story he crafted with Scott Snyder-- also, Fawkes' name is misspelled in the book's closing credits...or…
The Court of Owls stand out in Villains Month because the focus isn't on one single bad guy, but an entire organization that's been around for hundreds of years. How do you approach that for a one-shot? Well, if you're James Tynion IV, author of the ongoing Talon series, you tell 4 scary, short stories…
