33 on The Gotham War: Red Hood #1 reviewSo I know a lot of people have their gripes with The Gotham War but what if we focused on another character for a little bit? Catwoman brings in Red Hood to help her flesh out some hooligans while he’s on his path to destroying the Joker and it’s very mid to say the least.…
Almost every story here this month is a continuation of previous chapters, so there's not much to say here without getting into the reviews themselves. I could do another rant about having these long, multipart stories be what you put in an anthology is a misuse of the format, but I think I've chewed your…
If there's one way I would describe this issue, it's "missed opportunities". In fact it's something that I could use to describe the series as a whole, but it's exceedingly apparent here. Every time the story touches on an interesting idea, talks it up as a big, compelling idea, and then has no meat to…
The Multiverse is all the rage these days, for better or worse, but it's really not difficult to see why. With an endless supply of characters comes an endless supply of variations on those characters. It's great reading stories where Batman teams up with his fellow heroes, but you know what's better than Batman? Two…
The cultural impact of Batman: The Animated Series is outsized compared to its 3-year, 109-episode run. The series brought together many disparate elements of Batman stories over the years and turned them into one cohesive, stylish product that shaped the way both fans and culture at large view the Dark Knight. The tone of Batman…
The Titans have had enough of Brother Blood and his new Church of Blood. Although Sebastian Sanger dedicates himself to a rebrand as a televangelist, the heroes aren't taking any chances. Meanwhile, the shadow of The Flash's future death heavily weighs on the team. As a reminder, the Flash will die 48 hours in the…
Here’s the conclusion of "Phantom Riddles," a re-imagining of Batman and Superman’s first meeting. Rather than giving us an elaborate arc, the creative team has opted for a short-and-sweet approach. Part one was a lot of fun, but can part two live up to that quality? Let’s have a look. I did not enjoy “Phantom…
The newest era of Nightwing has begun! Not only am I taking over this book's reviews, but this marks the dawn of an all-new swashbuckling story direction. After overcoming his last foe and adjusting to changes with the Titans, Nightwing finally decides to investigate a mystery bothering him for several chapters. Mystery Box Following Knight…
I’m going to be making a small change in how I review these comics, because, honestly, I’ve been holding back. I’ve been trying to compromise with these Harley Quinn comics with the hopes of just getting something that isn’t complete gobbledygook. I didn’t want to step on anyone’s toes, and I held back on some…
The Gotham War continues this week in the aftermath of Batman #137’s final page reveal. Vandal Savage now owns Wayne Manor and Batman is not happy about it. Of course, we also pick up on Catwoman’s perspective a little more this month, as it is her title, but the narrative keeps them both front and…
Oh my god! We’re almost done! This mini-series just keeps getting worse and this is by far its least interesting issue. I wouldn’t even recommend this to kids anymore. Libraries, jump out while you still can!Stories like these are exactly why I gave the first Birds of Prey issue a 6/10. DC has burnt me…
Jackson here, once again filling in for Cam. I listed this issue as my "Most Excited" in this week's Upcoming Comics, and boy I don't regret it. Despite its ridiculous premise, this story wonderfully continues the character focus established in the first issue. There are still plenty of convention-related hijinks and action, but the heart…
Here we are with the final issue of the Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries! The story at hand focuses on Batman Beyond aka Terry McGinnis and seems to bring Mystery, Inc. to the future for an explosive final mystery. This series has led to plenty of ups and downs in quality so let’s get into it…
Another ongoing Bat book…. Well, I can’t say I’m surprised. As unenthused as I am about the prospect in theory, I do have to admit there is something about this series I’m looking forward to and that is Damian. Specifically, Josh Williamson’s Damian. The best thing I’ve ever read from Williamson’s pen is his Robin…
Eisner award-winning writer and artist Rafael Grampá drags readers into a scrappy thriller set within a new kind of Gotham. In Gargoyle of Gotham, Batman faces two equally creepy serial killers in a corrupt city. However, as Batman uncover the darkness of the city, he begins to exposes the darkness within himself. A City of…
Batman Incorporated began with Batman's faith in Ghost-Maker to lead in his stead. Unfortunately, the challenge of keeping his promise to Batman pushes him to his limits. After unsuccessfully handling "Vengeance Inc." and now "Joker Incorporated," Ghost-Maker faces the reality that he may not be able to live up to Batman's expectations after all. Some…
After over thirty years, countless words have been written about Batman: The Animated Series, be it in regards to its quality, influence, or timelessness. The show can still be appreciated today, with hardly a truly dated aspect in sight, and the spinoff comics are the same way. I alone have written hundreds if not thousands…
Oh my god, it actually came out on schedule. This week on: Geoff Johns just kinda does whatever… You guessed it! Geoff Johns just kinda does whatever! This issue focuses on the lost kids that are Johns’ new pet project: sidekicks to the JSA that no one remembered until just now because… time travel! The…
Oh man am I excited to see where this story goes! Birds of Prey is a thrilling comic with lots of cool characters gearing up to rescue Dinah’s sister Sin and possibly everyone in the universe as the stakes increase at the last second.I love the team dynamic Kelly Thompson introduces once most of the…
So our fellow reviewer Theresa Campagna has given me this unfortunate wreck of a comic to review. I had to catch up and watch as she slowly turned bitter towards what has been an endless barrage of nonsense known as Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing. I’m all caught up now and would definitely be…
