1 on Batman: The Brave and the Bold #6 reviewSolicits don't usually matter very much. I think that in general, people base their comic buying decision on what the comic is about as a whole and the creative team, vs the promotional text for an individual issue. However, for a series like this it's actually very important. Readers don't have a good way of…
Temporarily coming in as a last minute substitute, I'll be your "Dante" through Neo Gothic's increasingly weird "Inferno." As Batman and Kyle delve further into the underground, they begin to experience gnostic hallucinations. Unfortunately, that means an entire issue of fighting their way out of a seemingly never ending nightmare! A Long Strange Trip Max…
By now, we’ve gotten a good look at the kind of sales estimates this series has received…and it’s not good. This book has been floundering, unable to stay anywhere near the top 100 comics. Unfortunately, this was expected. None of the Harley Quinn-led books have been selling well. This is the third Harley Quinn mini-series…
Finally, I can see light at the end of the tunnel as this event begins to draw to a close. It is no exaggeration to say that this is my least favorite Bat event of all time and I’m ready for it to wrap up. Last month I said Catwoman #57 was slightly better than…
Is this finally the end? Or is it only the beginning? Honestly I don’t really care. This particular arc is over and the story wrapped up. We got the two kids who are hugging and there for each other but am I here for it? Hell no.Why even bother reviewing this comic when nothing has…
The corporate machine keeps churning and we end up with a product like Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong. The title is very self explanatory and the comic is delivers on the idea. Nothing special if you ask me but it does entertain and remind you to consume more Detective Comics and Legendary Comics.Brian Buccellato…
A new arc, titled “Heir to the Kingdom,” kicks off in this issue. Previously, a new arc meant that it was also a good jumping-on point for new readers. This time, that might not entirely be the case, since it builds on the second arc of this series, “Strange Visitor,” which introduced David, a young…
Titans #4 slows down Tom Taylor's epic to focus on the smaller gears moving the story. As the Titans question their new direction and Wally's impending death, other sinister elements develop before the Titans can realize. One Good Deed At A Time Taylor circles back to the symbiotic relationship between Beast Boy and Raven. Comparatively,…
Tom Taylor and Stephen Byrne's new swashbuckling adventure continues in part two of "The Crew Of The Crossed Keys." Last time, Heartless and Tony Zucco team up to kill the Quartermaster during a robbery. However, in the process they discover that their clandestine target is missing. Now, Nightwing's pirate adventure transforms into a romance novel…
Batman and Robin are back again this month picking up directly where the previous issue left off. Last time, I had some reservations but on the whole felt this book was shaping up pretty well. My question now is, will the creative team build off their groundwork in an interesting way? Let’s see! The bottom…
Howdy, Bat-fans! We're back again with one of the best comics coming out of DC these days, and I really can't stress enough how much I love it. After the action-packed antics of the last few issues, it's time to slow down and get a little slice-of-life stuff in. Let's check in on our heroes…
Written and drawn by Hugo Award nominated artist Christian Ward, City of Madness introduces a dark conspiracy within Gotham City. While the upsetting return of Two-Face commands Batman's attention, a more ominous disaster brews deep underground. What follows is a madcap horror mystery that may push Batman to confront his darkest reflections. Multiple Personalities Frankly,…
Once the team is assembled we get treated to their teamwork, their internal struggles and the plot progresses at a breakneck pace without skipping a beat! A true treat to read as the Birds of Prey make their way to Themyscira, home of the Amazons. I don’t regret being so hesitant in my first review…
It’s a bit of a running joke that I’m kind of clueless as to how long the series and mini-series I review end up being. This terrible issue not being the last of its kind like I thought means that it’s become a joke I stopped laughing at. So buckle up for the big confrontation…
Here we are again…I guess. Part 4 of “Gotham War,” and this hasn’t been a good arc. I’d rather not rehash the stuff that I’ve said in my previous review, but I might have to at times because the same issues keep coming up. All things considered, this is a bad story and I don’t…
I want to start off this review with a minor complaint. Why does the cover of this issue have the tagline: “Bonnie and Croc!”? Ivy and Croc aren’t in a relationship in this issue, and that’s usually what that phrasing implies. Ugh. I just can’t stand these forced taglines! Now, on to the actual review.…
October is upon us and we all know what that means… Halloween! To celebrate, (a little early) DC is putting out this thick anthology one-shot filled with a lot of new creatives. That means we should have a lot of variety here, not only stylistically but quality-wise as well. Most of the Batman-News team is…
After 31 years, the Batman Adventures series of spinoff comics finally comes to a close (for now). Throughout the run of Batman: The Adventures Continue, the series struggled to figure out what kind of comic it wanted to be. Season 1 seemed mostly concerned with introducing as many non-DCAU characters to the universe as possible,…
I talk about the importance of second issues a lot and I’m going to repeat myself again. This is where a comic sells itself. A strong start is one thing but if that energy can be maintained for the second issue, I know it wasn’t a fluke and that I should keep reading. So how…
Before coming on to this title as reviewer, I had always felt that the biggest issue with V's Detective Comics was its pacing. It had plenty of cool characters and concepts, but the narrative peaks and valleys were stretched out so that instead of a traditional "exposition, rising action, climax, denouement" narrative structure, it would…
