8 on Teen Titans, Vol. 2: The Culling reviewAround the time I reviewed this series last graphic novel everybody was bemoaning how sad it was that the Teen Titans comic book couldn't capture the same sort of magic as the Young Justice TV series. Now Young Justice has been replaced by Teen Titans Go! and this comic series still chugs along month after…
Bruce Wayne announces that he has hired brilliant scientist Dr. Jason Burr to work on the Ion Cortex, a device that could solve all the world's energy problems. The announcement also draws the attention of The League of Assassins and it is up to Tatsu to protect Burr from Silver Monkey, one of The League's…
Issue #7 breaks new ground that was untouched by the video game. It also illustrates a few distinct differences between the two universes that collide so that the idea of many of our heroes acting so out of character is more forgivable because these aren't the heroes we know after all. At first it just…
Unlike today's Batman Annual, Detective Comics Annual features not one but three short yet interconnected stories. And while Batman Annual started out as being from the perspective of a supporting character but quickly switched back to Batman, Detective Comics Annual is actually more about Jane Doe and Harvey Bullock than the Dark Knight! I wasn't…
Yes, I really do think that this is the weakest issue of the New 52 Batman series so far and here's why... First of all, the cover by Jock is awesome. It's so damn gritty and moody and you just look at it and know you're in for something heavy, but unfortunately you're not. And putting…
This is one of those reviews where I know that what I write definitely isn't going to affect anyone's decision. If you've been following this story from as far back as the Batman & Son days or as recently as the death of that son then you're definitely going to buy this comic no matter…
I was a little bored at first and the entire premise of man's evil coming from sinful spirits is too hokey for me to suspend my disbelief but by the midway point of this issue I found that I was enjoying myself. Is it a necessary part of the Trinity War storyline? Probably not. You…
Sure, the title says "Justice League," but that's probably just to sell a few extra copies out of fear that there aren't all that many Flash fans out there. The Flashpoint Paradox is a Flash movie through-and-through and if there weren't that many Flash fans before then I think there definitely will be now. Justice…
Bruce puts Tatsu through a series of tests to prove her loyalty. As Batman, he battles against Anarky. Directed by Curt Ceda. Written by Jim Krieg. With all the talk of Anarky being Batman's Moriarty my expectations for episode three were pretty high. But when Anarky showed up looking like Moon Knight and he didn't…
LATE REVIEW EDITION Attention Batgirl fans: Go buy this. Batman Beyond Unlimited #18 is well worth purchasing for the Batgirl Beyond story alone. It's fantastic. The Batman Beyond bit at the end is pretty forgettable, but this entire Undercloud arc has really been a disappointment and ended Adam Beechen's run with a whimper instead of…
The title is called "All Sorts of Fun" and I think that's exactly what you'll have when you buy this comic (I imagine every reviewer is going to have some variation on that line, just watch). Talon is a great series to follow but there have been a few bumps in the road ever since…
Oh what a difference an inker makes! In my reviews of the previous issues illustrated by Julius Gopez I've time and time again commented on how ugly some panels looked, but in issue #22 there are several pages in which Gopez leaves inking duties to Ray McCarthy and having an actual professional inker make the…

Catwoman #22 might be the worst issue of Catwoman yet and since it's the worst thing I read, that's really saying something. Selina Kyle is such a great, iconic character and I'm fed up with seeing horrible issue after horrible issue. This all started with issue #0 when Ann Nocenti came aboard back in September…
Issue #1 didn't send me over the moon as it did many others, but I did enjoy it. Issue #2, however, is a far more emotional chapter that resonated just enough that it's starting to make a believer out of me. The story is moving along at a rather slow pace, but there are some…
I think there were a lot of people ready to bail on this series after the Mad Hatter arc and I can definitely understand why but this issue was really good and I think you should buy it. Sigh. I feel a bit like I'm trying to tell you to give a friend of mine…
If you're a lifelong fan of Hellblazer/Constantine then I wouldn't put a whole lot of stock in my opinion here. I've only read the first issue of Constantine and while it was okay it wasn't good enough for me to keep coming back. This is more of a Batman-fan-curious-about-trinity-war's perspective on this book. I'm here…
Whenever I review a comic I always jot down little notes as I go along. Usually it's the things I find unappealing or confusing or maybe something more positive like the layout of a page or a character's line that made me laugh, but I know that things actually went really well whenever I finish…
LATE REVIEW EDITION I didn't have a chance to review this before I headed to Comic-Con, but I certainly hope many of you gave this new Digital First Series a chance last Wednesday. Wow! Talk about standing out from the crowd. If you feel like every bat-book is the same then you need to pick…
LATE REVIEW EDITION I was at Comic-Con last week so I didn't read this book until...ten minutes ago...ish. Seeing as how most of you have probably already made your decision as to whether or not you'll buy this one I'll keep things short and sweet. Yes, it's good. I never know what sort of quality…
Beware the Batman continues to be really entertaining and I have to say that I liked this episode even better than the last. I just got back from Comic-Con and made time before I crashed last night to sit down and watch "Secrets" on my DVR but while at the convention I was shown "Shattered" (I…
