10 on A Tale of the Batman: Gotham by Gaslight reviewDid you read Alan Moore's From Hell and think "Man, this is really great but it needs fewer annotations and more Batman. A LOT more Batman!" Well I have good news for you! Gotham by Gaslight is considered a Batman classic and one of the finest Elseworlds tales ever released. Originally published in 1989, Gotham…
After the Fire is yet another DC/Wildstorm crossover getting the Deluxe treatment. Originally published in 2002, several years before their magnificent Joker graphic novel was published, Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo's three-part team-up tale possesses the pitch-perfect atmosphere and attitude that a great Batman comic needs, but sadly it also has a story that's a…
It doesn't matter if you don't know who the Planetary are, this Wildstorm/DC Crossover is must-reading. The only problem is that it's way over-priced. Content Here we have one of the books included with the goodie bag I received from my trip to the DC Comics offices a couple weeks back. And if you're wondering…
There is a school of thought out there that Batman's rogues gallery is the very best because each villain is in some way a perverse incarnation of Batman himself. Batman & Red Robin #19 is terrific evidence of that because in this single issue we see that a Bruce Wayne who has been pushed over…
What's with all the supernatural stuff in my Batman comics lately? At first the ghostly business was confined to the last 2 month's worth of Legends of the Dark Knight but today we will see not only DC's version of a classic movie monster and a Will-o-the-Wisp, but apparently Clayface is now made from a…
Gail Simone returns to Batgirl and delivers an issue with a lot of big revelations and gruesome action (seriously, why is the Batgirl series so damn violent?), but I wasn't fond of the way James Jr. was portrayed. Things are about to change for the Batgirl series. Anyone who has been a fan of the…
Issue #13 collects material that's actually quite old and was likely postponed a good long while from going to print because of one panel in particular. The very week that this story went online as a digital-first comic it coincided with the release of The Dark Knight Rises and, regrettably, the Aurora, Colorado massacre (and MAN…
All aboard! JUMPING ON POINT ALERT Never read an issue of Batwing before in your life? You'll do fine here. As long as you know what Batman Inc. is and that there is a representative in Africa you'll be able to follow along. You won't know exactly why Batwing is beating up certain individuals or…
What in the... what in the heck did I just read? It started off alright, got weird in the middle, and then ended with a panel that made me say "What was the point of any of that?" Legends of the Dark Knight began incredibly strong but these past three issues have stumbled quite a bit.…
You probably saw the $7.99 price tag and thought "I better check on the reviews first." Well, it's good. It's a fun read and absolutely worth buying if you've been keeping up with Laymnan and Fabok's run from the start. If you haven't and are just curious about the title because it's the milestone 900th…
Issue #3 of this series reigns things in quite a bit and isn't as shocking as the previous two issues but let's face it, those two copies are hard to top. We saw major character deaths, the leveling of entire cities, and heroic characters lose control. So now what? Now that the DC Universe as…
Hey it's Andrew here with another late review. These are quite a bit more relaxed since I know fewer people are going to read them and I can just let the stream of consciousness flow. So, Batman: The Dark Knight #18. What did everybody think about it? I thought it was okay. Not really bad,…
Hey, so this review article is pretty late, huh? As some of you may already know, I went to NYC this week to visit the DC offices and stomp around Manhattan. It's Saturday, I'm back in St. Louis and I'm ready to sit down with Teen Titans #18. As you can tell by the cover,…
I'm writing this as I pack for my trip to New York so forgive me for being brief, but Batman Inc. #9 was a bit of a cluster***k of ideas. We're constantly weaving in and out between scenes that happen immediately after Damian's death, his funeral, the Knight's funeral, Jason Todd's capture, and a couple…
The final issue of Scott Lobdell's Red Hood and the Outlaws is without a doubt his best. First let me get to the bad news. This comic has diddly squat to do with Damian. It may say "REQUIEM" on the cover, but this is 100% Death of the Family aftermath. Even Arsenal and Starfire aren't…
Not the usual cover is it? It's so dark and rather understated compared to the Batman Beyond Unlimited designs of the past and it would lead you to believe that this is a very heavy read. Well, in the case of Batman Beyond it actually is, but when it comes to Superman Beyond and Justice…
With so many reviews to go through I might be getting a bit more blunt as the day goes on...but this kind of sucked and was really short. Granted, I haven't read any of Birds of Prey after the first volume and the Night of the Owls tie-in but even then the series was never…
Talk about starting a new arc with a bang! The newest Batwoman story sees her back in Gotham and fighting none other than Mr. Freeze. How did Freeze get out of Arkham? It's not addressed, nor is it ever brought up in today's Birds of Prey where Victor is also wreaking havoc. As for which…
With so many reviews to do today I honestly don't know why I went with Catwoman first. Maybe to get it all over with? Maybe because last month's issue was actually bearable so I was feeling hopeful? Who knows. Either way, the first thing I was greeted with was shoddy lettering and a terrible Batman…
Awesome cover, eh? Shame Cyborg doesn't have his own book yet. The guy has easily been one of the most important members of the team in every arc so far. He has total access to all the world's intel, he's incredibly powerful, and he's basically the Justice League's bus. The boom tube effect is a…
