1 on Legends of the Dark Knight #8 reviewOne month later, I'm reviewing Legends of the Dark Knight #8 in a special super-short article before jumping into this week's Legends #9. Of course, you don't need to read any previous issue of this series to enjoy the next! They all stand alone. I just felt like writing some little something to warm-up. "Carved"…
I really wish DC would stop with the cover copy. Batwing #21's cover is bad-ass and it would've looked a heck of a lot better without "THE WRATH OF LION-MANE!" crowding its way into the image. So we open the book up and remember that Lion-Mane is in no way as big as he looks…
I'm going to give a brief review of issue #20 before jumping into this week's Batwing #21 review. I think all the Batwing fans should appreciate that. Anyway, Batwing #20 is a terrific jumping-on point for this series as you get to experience the brand new creative team of Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray (they…
Batman and Robin, Vol. 2 has what is probably the most macabre looking cover to ever accompany the title "Pearl." This volume also happens to be, in my opinion, the low-point in an otherwise terrific series. Content Pearl collects issues #0, 9-14. That means you get: So why "Pearl"? My thoughts exactly. The pearl in…
Judging by the books opening pages, you'd think that this would be another god-awful issue like pretty much everything else that we've seen since September, but it actually gets much better. Let me be clear: it gets better but I still don't recommend that you buy it. Ann Nocenti's Catwoman run is a risky buy…
Hey, it's that book I said I wasn't going to review this month! Well, I had to review the Annual anyway so I went ahead and read this one so I'd be able to follow along. Turns out, reading issue #20 wasn't totally necessary for grasping the complexities of the Catwoman Annual, who knew? If…
Some readers like an annual that's a stand-alone, done-in-one tale while others want it to be an extra long special that goes deeper into the ongoing story. If you're looking for an easily accessible, stand-alone story then I suggest you pick up Batman: The Dark Knight Annual #1. If you're wanting something that moves the…
I found the Dark Knight Annual to be a pleasant surprise. It starts off on Halloween night, that's right it's a Halloween special of all things! And the setup is a good haunted house trope that sees characters receive letters inviting them to a location on a dark spooky night, but when they get there…
After seeing this cover in the ads of nearly every comic book I read for the past 3 or 4 months I was eager to open this issue and just get the big reveal over with. Who is the new Batman? WHO? Would it be Jean Paul Valley? Dick Grayson? Terry McGinnis? Someone else entirely?…
With issue #4 hyped to be the big reveal of the Secret Society of Super Villains, you can be sure that there are quite a few New 52 firsts that happen in this comic. And while not all of the Secret Society emerges from the shadows to introduce themselves, those that do should excite old…
I'll keep this short and sweet since this book came out at the beginning of the month, but I figured I should write some little something what with the series double shipping this month after a 7 week delay from March to May. Issue #3 is a gate-fold cover coming out way behind everyone else…
Witness the resurrection and all new status quo for Talon! Surprisingly, this issue is actually a pretty good jumping on point for new readers, especially those who have been eyeing this series after all the Bane-hype. But I can't stress enough how fun of a series this has been from the start. If you haven't joined yet,…
Whoever writes the cover copy for these books should be slapped with a rolled-up newspaper. "PULLED INTO DARKNESS BY THE MAD HATTER" it says, and that might be okay if the vibrantly colored image this text accompanied wasn't Batman being pulled into the lit Batsignal, which is the biggest and most famous LIGHT in the…
How to explain the craziness of Batman, Inc. #11... Well, it's a filler issue. I should say that first and foremost. It has nothing--absolutely nothing--to do with the story we've been following for the past 10 issues and could easily be skipped. It's instead a comic that would've fit far better in the Pre-New 52…
Judging by the cover, this looks like a big but predictable Justice League vs. Despero fight, right? Well, there's way more going on here than you might suspect. In fact, it's vital reading for fans of Justice League and Justice League of America (a very important read for that crowd) and a giant leap toward the…
You know this movie is for kids and I know this movie is for kids. So what better way was there for me to write a review than with the input of my very own 6 year old nephew? Following his kindergarten graduation, the boy and I watched it together and I'm happy to report…
Volume 1 of Duane Swierczynski's Birds of Prey was a tightly knit espionage thriller that I enjoyed, so I don't know what the heck happened between that and this! Your Kiss Might Kill is the very definition of half-baked, made up of ideas that are never played out to completion drawn by artists who never…
Issue #20 "Flying Blind" is exactly what I needed today. The comics I've read so far this Wednesday have been pretty disappointing, but Nightwing is time well spent. For starters, this comic does a fine job of picking up where the last one left off,even the aftermath of the horrifying torture scene is addressed, but…
As you can tell by the score, I obviously don't recommend Batgirl #20. In fact, I pretty much hated it. Gore, magic, eidetic memory... there's a pretty long list of things I don't enjoy seeing in a Batgirl comic and they all show up here. When it comes to the artwork, there's nothing spectacular to…
I was so certain that when Tynion took over this book we would have something really amazing on our hands. Talon is loads of fun and, besides the Batman/Superman team-up in the last two issues of Batman, I have enjoy enjoyed his backup story contributions immensely. But his first arc in Jason Todd's comic seems…
