16 on New 52 - Teen Titans #16 reviewAnd once again I'm disappointed with Lobdell's contribution to the Death of the Family crossover. Look, things were going great. Perfectly fine for 6 pages in this issue as long as you ignore the fact that Joker likes to dress and undress Tim. What am I talking about? Well, first he captures Tim, changes him…
Batman: The Dark Knight is back with a bold new look to kick off a story centered around The Mad Hatter. Is it worth buying or is this one Bat-title too man? This new story begins rather similarly to what we saw from the Scarecrow arc's first installment. It's another missing person's case and it has…
As a Batman fan it sucks to see the Dark Knight get slapped around and Gotham get devastated the way they do in this issue but as a reader who needed a good action comic after reading Catwoman #16, this was awesome. I think I might start listing how well the League members do in…
Nightwing #16 is a book that I've read twice both because I enjoyed it and because it few by so quickly I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything. Let me ask you: how many Joker vs. Dick Grayson throw-downs can you name? Not many I suspect. I'm sure the Joker's Last Laugh comes…
Superb artwork, Tim Drake in his old costume, and there are even a few laughs to be had but there is no story progression from where we left off in Red Hood & the Outlaws #15 and for that I was disappointed. I know the book is called "Teen Titans" and not "Red Robin" but…
The issue starts off strong with a lengthy Batman Beyond episode. This story has been riveting the past few issues. Bruce is hospitalized, Jokerz are bombing every corner of Gotham, Dick and Tim are both out of retirement and helping Terry, Dana is in danger, and Catwoman and Vigilante have joined the fight as well…
If you're going to continue reading Justice League for the Throne of Atlantis storyline then you're going to need to pick up Aquaman as well to get the full story. I'm sure they'll try and write it so you'll be able to follow along well enough if you only pick up Justice League but if…
When a creative team takes off for 2 months to give a cross-over tie-in their full attention it's understandable that fan expectations will rise. Thankfully, Kyle Higgins and Eddy Barrows have exceeded expectations with Nightwing #15. A major complaint that I have with tie-in books is that many of them suffer from a lack of consequence.…
This was a pretty astounding issue. Astounding. When this issue was first announced I was annoyed at the fact that we would be deviating from the central story yet again, but that turned out to not be the case. Yes, we see the possible future of what would happen if Damian became Batman, but it's…
I don't know how any fan of the whole DC Universe could look at this cover and not pick this comic up. How cool is that cover? I usually go for the simple covers that express what the comic is about in a minimalistic way but there's something very satisfying about seeing all of these…
This was easily the best quasi-bat-title from Wednesday. However, the thing that made it good wasn't so much the Justice League side of it as it was the terrific Shazam backup. The backup was all about Black Adam adapting to a new era and wrecking lives and causing property damage in the process. Great artwork,…
Here's another quick Thanksgiving Day comic review! Is Nightwing #14 worth buying? No! Not at all. It's a boring and predictable issue. This two-part story was nothing more than filler while Nightwing's true creative team took a breather and recharged for the upcoming Death of the Family tie-in. How was it boring and predictable? Nightwing…
So you're perusing the graphic novels at your local comic shop when something catches your eye, something you've never seen before: Batman riding a pterodactyl. You say to yourself "What the **** did I just look at?" You're certain you must have seen that wrong. It was probably a Man-Bat adventure of some sort. It…
DC's schedule for TPB releases is rather odd and highly unfortunate for fans of Dick Grayson. Those readers who skip monthly issues in favor of collected trades are going to find themselves very far behind the rest of the crowd. The New 52 Nightwing has been running for over a year now with 14 issues…
The one where everybody got along. That's how many will probably view issue #13. For the first time since the New 52 began the Justice League are behaving like a team. Maybe it was Green Lantern who was causing the rift? Who knows! The Flash has concerns about Superman and Wonder Woman, but we know…
Well that was...kind of boring, actually. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't that good either. Kyle Higgins and Eddy Barrows have taken a two issue break and Tom DeFalco and Andres Guinaldo (whose work you've seen before in this series) are filling in for a brief adventure before all Bat-titles dive head first into the…
It's easy to be one of those "the book is always better" people. Anyone who loves a pre-existing work and then sees an adaptation will only half-enjoy what's on the screen because the other half of them is comparing the newest incarnation to the original. The fascinating thing about the live action Batman films (and…
Fans of Batman's most vindictive villain shouldn't skip out on this one. Penguin: Pain & Prejudice collects not one, but two of the best Penguin stories in recent memory and it's available at a very fair price. Content I reviewed this five issue series when it came out in individual installments and it reads even…
2012: The year characters figured out Batman's identity just by looking at his face. This issue focuses entirely on Dick Grayson's Robin origin and leaves the Nightwing transformation for another day. It uses quite a few elements from the animated series, sets up the next storyline with Lady Shiva, and even nods to its previous…
This comic has no Bat-anything in it whatsoever. Does it have some important stuff in it that will affect Batman in the future? Yes. But for now Justice League #0 has little to do with the league and instead is totally a Shazam comic... and it's pretty great. I've made it pretty clear how much…
