4 on Batman: Off World #1 reviewAliens! Spaceships! Batman! That’s right folks, it’s Jason Aaron’s first outing writing the Dark Knight, and I for one couldn’t be more stoked about the premise! Anyone who knows me or my work knows that I’m a MASSIVE fan of the Brave and the Bold cartoon for its silly Silver-Age-ness, and that’s EXACTLY what Off-World promised. Did…
“Heir to the Kingdom” continues! Last month Thunderman viciously attacked Superman, and this month the second chapter picks up where the first left off. Can Batman and Superman save Thunderman, or has Thunderman gone to the dark side completely? And what happens when Batman and Superman run into their Kingdom Come counterparts? Last but not…
As the dust of The Gotham War settles, we enter a new era for Catwoman… almost. Tini Howard remains the writer on the series going forward, though other members of the creative team have changed. Selina is now presumed dead and has decided to leave Gotham and take down some criminals that she always wanted…
As the Out Of The Shadows arc comes to a close, the Titans conclude the first act of the series' most pressing issues. Firstly, Beast Boy continues his mission to challenge the way the Titans save the day. Most importantly, Nightwing solves the mystery of Wally's death using his own methods. Yet, the Titans still…
The next installment of Dick Grayson's new pirate adventure is just over the horizon! Now that Nightwing and Captain Blüd have made an alliance, they set sail to confront her evil half-brother. Yet, although billed as a swashbuckling epic, Nightwing is closer to Tim Allen's The Santa Clause version of piracy. Let's take a look.…
I am writing this review in a place of despair for DC Comics. Their comics have sunk down to the lowest quality I have ever seen them, EVER. It used to be that you could at least count on the main Batman ongoing to be decent, but after the nonsensical Gotham War event, that is…
Issue #3 is upon us and unfortunately all is not well in the world of Batman and Robin. This book is floundering and wasting the potential it has. Coming into this issue our heroes are still trying to save White Rabbit from the Terrible Trio. Past that, it’s mostly action. Well, let’s not delay any…
Waid’s World’s Finest comics have been a stellar exercise in modernizing what we love about the old days. All the bright, flashy, simple costumes have been updated to reflect more modern sensibilities; the stories are as campy and goofy as we all know and loved, but with deeper, more fleshed out characters reminiscent of current…
We're now on the second issue of this "Outlaw" intermission arc, and the story still feels very comfortable just setting the stage. That's not necessarily a bad thing; it's often at its best when focusing on atmosphere rather than the grandiose plot. However, with only five chapters in total before we jump into the next…
One of the first comics I remember reading in high school was the "Looking For Trouble" arc of Nightwing's Outsiders. Over the years, the team has continued to evolve and serve many purposes. This iteration reunites Kate Kane and Luke Fox for another unique mission of discovery. Specifically, Kelly and Lanzing exploit the opportunity to…
There can be only one! And thankfully that doesn’t mean there’s only one issue left cause Joker the Joker who stopped Jokering or whatever is finally all wrapped up! We have a big showdown involving the two characters and a bunch of their goons and allies by their side. There’s a couple twists and turns…
I’d like to ask the readers a question. If you are still buying Poison Ivy, why is that? I’m not saying that in a snarky way as if “no one would ever want to read this book!” It’s just that I feel the momentum of intrigue once held by this book has been slowly fading…
Our crew journeys further into the land of the Amazons in order to retrieve Sin as discreetly as possible. The plan being set up since the first issue has really kicked up a notch as our heroines advance into this thrilling and dangerous land! My excitement at the third issue in this series is matched…
Hello, all; I'll be taking over Batman reviews from now on. Unfortunately, Casper suffered severe psychic damage from reviewing Gotham War, and can only review good comics like Batman/Superman: World's Finest until further notice. Batman #139 steps out of Gotham War seemingly looking to start fresh and get back to the type of Batman stories…
Casper and I are back (Casper’s thoughts will be in black), working together to review this final issue of The Gotham War. Neither of us came out of the opening chapter excited to keep reading this event and as you may have seen in our ensuing Batman and Catwoman reviews, things have not gotten any…
The Orghams' plan moves into its final stages as Batman loses his last grasps on sanity and Gotham itself turns on him. I'm reminded immensely of the Room 101 scene at the end of 1984. By all reasonable accounts, they've won. They have Batman locked up in a cage and are preparing the means of…
A little over a year ago I declared Mondo's Joker 1/6 scale figure to be their most expressive yet. Well, a challenger to that title has emerged with the latest addition to the Batman: The Animated Series line... Harley Quinn. Bruce Timm's iconic, original design of the late, great Arleen Sorkin's character is beautifully adapted…
When The Penguin #1 came out two months ago my attitude on this series shifted from one of skepticism to legitimist interest. It seemed at the time that there was the potential for this to be a character-driven story that not only humanized Penguin but introduced a supporting cast that was equally compelling. Then issue…
Red Hood loses his ability to function and the baddies fight each other to get him back and it’s just a whole lotta nonsense from there. This mini-series is going out of its way to be crazy now and I’m kind of into it. At least I’m enjoying the absurdity a lot more than the…
Detective Comics returned from Knight Terrors last month with an an impressive and introspective look into Bruce's psyche. Rather than focusing on the ongoing plot, it used a series of vignettes and dream sequences to great success. This month sees a return to a more traditional narrative as we follow up on the fallout of…
