1 on Justice League Beyond: Konstriction reviewThere was way, way, way, way, way too much going on in this story for me to follow it across 12+ months of all-too-brief Batman Beyond Unlimited issues and I'm sure many of you either got lost like I did or didn't even touch this thing until it came out in trade. Well, the wait…
10,000 Clowns has been released in 3 different stages: a few pages every week online, printed in the Beyond Unlimited anthology series for a few pages more once per month, and all together in this printed trade paperback. If you were patient enough to wait for the trade paperback (15 months), then you made the smart decision!…
Easily the fringiest of the fringe Bat-titles is All-Star Western, starring odd couple Jonah Hex and Amadeus Arkham. Although it takes place during the 1800's, I take the time to review the graphic novels of this series because it's set primarily in Gotham City and often times adds new information regarding the history of Gotham…
And so ends a fun and simple story with really amazing artwork. Part 2 of "Nowhere Man" gives us a Clayface who is quite the departure from the portrayal we saw just a few months ago in John Layman's Detective Comics. Clayface isn't sympathetic at all, but is instead a rather sleazy blackmailer. What does…
Remember how Talia placed a bounty on Damian's head and a whole mess of assassins jumped at the chance to shoot a 10 year old boy for five-hundred million dollars? Yeah... Batman didn't forget about that and now he wants Red Hood to tag along with him as they track down every last bounty hunter…
Seven years ago a friend of mine picked up a copy of Batman: Year 100 on a whim. He wasn't that much of a fan of Batman to begin with but said that he didn't care for Year 100 because he hated the artwork and found the story to be too confusing. But even with…
A fine epilogue and back-up story saved what was otherwise a disappointing climax to an 8 issue arc. After all that buildup I really felt like this story stumbled toward the finish line. Issue #20 opens with Ogilvy's crew continuing to commit large scale robberies, now moving up to banks heists that Ogilvy himself has…
Looking back on my review of Batwing, Vol. 1: The Lost Kingdom you'll see that I was pretty darn disappointed with it. I wasn't upset because it was poorly drawn or illustrated, but because it was 2 issues shy of giving the reader a full story. Just 2 issues! To me, that's either a horribly…
Have you ever met someone that was incredibly attractive and seemed to embody everything you're looking for in a person, but as soon as they opened their mouth to speak you lost all interest? That's Detective Comics, Vol.2: Scare Tactics. CONTENT The first volume, Faces of Death, wasn't a great read by any means but…
Injustice: Gods Among Us is the latest game from Warner Bros. and NetherRealm Studios, the developers behind the popular Mortal Kombat series. The game features twenty four characters from the DC Universe and all of your favorite superheroes and villains are available to play with. Batman News comic book reviewer Andrew will be helping out…
Since Bane was hyped up to return in a big way in Talon #7, I made sure to add the book to the review rotation this week. Not only that, but I spent the entire evening reading every issue of Talon #1-6 (I already read #0 and reviewed it months ago) so that I would…
Here I was, all excited for more Ethan Van Sciver pencils when in fact issue #19 marks the reunion of writer Gregg Hurwitz and artist Szymon Kudranski, who haven't worked on a Bat-story together since the great-until-the-last-two-issues Penguin Pain & Prejudice. While I enjoyed Kudranksi's very atmospheric style on that story, I did grow a…
Wow. The writing in the Injustice comics is far, far superior to that of the actual video game. Dialogue, pacing, characterization, emotional weight, action, laughs...it's all better. There are scenes in this issue alone that are more memorable, more emotionally resonant than any cutscene you'll see in the game. That's not to say you shouldn't…
The gatefold cover of Batman Inc. #10 is one of the only ones I've seen that actually spoils the comic's ending. I like the cover, but it really does take all the impact out of the story's final pages so if you can somehow avoid seeing the fold-out reveal I recommend you do that. Not…
The popular digital-first series finally comes to print and it's a must-have for kids! Issue #1 collects the first and second digital installments that I reviewed several months ago when they were originally released online at comixology. If you already bought these for a dollar a piece for your electronic device then I still recommend…
JUMPING-ON POINT ALERT Batman Beyond and Justice League Beyond are starting brand new arcs with this issue. Superman Beyond, however is nearing the end of its epic outer space adventure. First I'll talk about the Superman story by Krul and Proter, which is by far the meatiest of the tales included here. Long ago, on a…
Brett Booth artwork and a bold new direction are in store for Wingnuts this month! Here we have an issue that will give fans a lot to discuss but I don't really know how much I should give away because every page is something relatively new. It's one of the best jumping-on points for any…
So I was reading the comic and about midway through my phone chimed with an email alert. I read the email and then figured I'd browse around the web a bit. After about a half hour of that I made myself something to eat and started reading Justice League, then He-Man #1, and after that…
It's a solid issue that portrays Batman surprisingly well. Not only do we spend quite a bit of time in the batcave, but we see Red Hood and Alfred discussing the recent events of Batman Inc. and we see a Batman who is level headed and acts as concerned friend toward Superman and Wonder Woman. The opening…
Issue #19 may be the beginning of a new creative team's run but it's not the fresh start that many new readers were hoping for. First thing's first, what happened to the awesome cover? Not only did artist Mico Suayan's interiors get thrown out but his original cover featuring a heavily scarred Jason Todd was…
