2 on Li'l Gotham #6 reviewLi'l Gotham has expanded to two issues a month and while we've already seen a Valentine's Day adventure this week we get a rather unexpected Lunar New Year episode. Very little attention is given to this holiday, however, but the story does maintain an Asian theme as Damian Wayne teams up with Katana in Gotham's…
This issue starts off really strong and ends strong but I found everything in between to be rather lacking. I will say that now is probably going to be your best chance to jump on board this title if you never have before. Another opportunity like this won't come around for quite some time. Justice…
What can I say? It's a drastic improvement over previous issues because this comic actually made sense. I wouldn't go so far as to call it interesting or memorable in any way, but at least I didn't feel like slamming my head in a car door a few pages into it. Nocenti's quirky style is…
This was one of the shortest reads I've experienced in a while. I actually found myself flipping back to make sure I hadn't skipped over any pages. I don't even think it took 10 minutes to get through but I think a big part of that is the artwork, which is definitely not good. There…
Death of the Family is over and all of the Bat-titles that took part in the crossover event are going back to business as usual. All of them, that is, except for Nightwing. Of all the members of the batfamily, no one got hit harder than Dick Grayson. I would argue that even Batman himself…
Whooooooooaaaaaaaaaaa!!!! Although The Throne of Atlantis storyline wrapped up a lot sooner than I expected it definitely went out with a bang. Aquaman #16 Recap Now, I never got around to reading Aquaman #16 until a couple of days ago but in that issue we found out what became of Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman…
I wasn't exactly sold on the idea when it was first announced but the characters DC had assembled is so non-traditional that it did peak my curiousity. It sounded like a slightly improved version of Justice League International because now instead of getting Batman and a group of D-list heroes we're getting a more balanced…
We're on a roll here people! Tomasi's hot! Hot! Batman and Robin #17 is yet another terrific issue that's brimming with delightful character moments. Who needs another super villain plot when you can get something you never see in the other bat-titles (especially right now): The characters acting happy! READ THIS COMIC AFTER BATMAN #17…
The solicits I saw for this week's Upcoming Comics article were wrong and now is indeed the time for Ray Fawkes to begin his two month stint on Batgirl. As you'll recall, there was a big controversy in which Gail Simone was fired via email. Her fans rallied loud enough that DC brought her back…
I'm feeling rather tuckered out after writing the massive 6,700 word The Dark Knight Returns review and today's Batman #17 so expect for the rest of today's reviews to be pretty short and to the point because this guy needs a break from Batman. Batman: Arkham Unhinged continues to improve in quality with issue #11…
Let me just say right now that while I'm going to try and hide as many spoilers as I can, if you're definitely going to buy this comic no matter if I give a 1/10 or a 10/10 then you should just hold off on reading any reviews until after you've read the comic for…
It's not as uneventful as the Thanksgiving special, but I found Li'l Gotham #5 to be quite skippable as a Holiday Special. In case you forgot, this Thursday is Valentine's Day and like the previous 4 holidays we get a fun, chibi-style Batman story available online to help us celebrate. The story this time around…
I'm back again to give you another break-down of a DC Animated feature, the second part of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. For all my thoughts on Part 1, just click here. I'll be starting out this article with a brief spoiler-free overview so that the majority of you good folks get the gist of…
To Drown the World tried to go for the non-linear narrative but failed. It was really disorganized and with the month-long gab between each issue I simply couldn't keep track of what was going on in the story. And since Batwoman is basically a bat-title in name only I decided to "trade-wait" this title. So…
Volume 4 is a rather sloppy finale to the No Man's Land saga. It never quite builds enough momentum and often repeats plot points over and over again verbatim because the story was told in multiple titles that are all collected here. That gets pretty annoying pretty fast. However, volume 4 also features some of…
You may find yourself at Batman-News.com You may find yourself scrolling through the comics section You may find yourself looking for Andrew's humorous fanboy rants You may find yourself in an article about "Young Romance" You may ask yourself, well, how did I get here? Well, it turns out that there are quite a few…
The main story is really predictable and it's sort of a waste of a good character design, but the black humor of the backup makes up for the book's shortcomings to make for a pretty entertaining read. It won't take you long to figure out who the Merry Maker is and I imagine that unsurprising…
Heartwarming in every sense of the word, Batman & Robin Annual #1 is worth every penny! No, you do not need to have read any other Batman & Robin comics prior to picking this one up. Yes, it is a complete story in one oversized issue. Yes, it is a great example of visual storytelling…
St. Louis still exists in the Beyond universe-- we made it! Ya know, that's two St. Louis references in Batman comics in this month alone. It's almost like they're pandering to me... Issue #12 is actually surprisingly accessible to new readers so if you've been curious about this series at any point, come aboard! The…
Oh, hell yeah! Gather around Batfans, Unkie Andrew's got something he wants you all to go buy. I was admittedly apprehensive about picking up another comic book based on a video game but holy crap was this thing awesome. Writer Tom Taylor got to do some CRAZY things with the mythology of these characters that…
