8 on Batman & the Joker: the Deadly Duo #3 reviewI have to admit, in the back of my mind, I was expecting this series to crash and burn. It’s hard enough to write a good comic to begin with, but telling a Batman/Joker story gets more difficult with every passing year. This is just by virtue of their popularity. So many stories have been…
We’re now up to the fourth issue of The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries and I have to say I feel a little bad about my review of issue one. It’s not that I don’t agree with what I said. I still stand by every word of it. I just hope I didn’t turn anyone off…
"No More Teachers" part 4 does little to refute the ongoing indictment of Ghost-Maker. Easily divided by Phantom-One and his vigilantes, Batman Incorporated suffers an embarrassing defeat while Khoa disappointingly remains one step behind. I am a huge fan of Robin, the Boy Wonder. My brother would often play Batman, while I took the fun…
Built on the back of the narrative started in Batman/Superman: World's Finest and Batman Vs. Robin, Mark Waid infects the entire DC magical Universe with a massive story about the conflict between fathers and sons. Can We Save The Planet? Lazarus Planet begins with Batman's failure and the destruction of Lazarus Island by King Fire…
Well, it's finally here. The final issue of Urban Legends. I have to say, I'll be really sad to see this series go. We've had highs and lows, for sure, but man, those highs were high. We got some genuinely great stories out of this thing, like the Question/Batman team-up, the super fun Ace and friends storyline,…
In preparation for this review, I went back and read the first two seasons of Batman: The Adventures Continue. Overall they didn't hold up much compared to the original The Batman Adventures comics from the 90s. Oftentimes they felt like a gimmick to introduce a popular character into the DCAU continuity or simply meant to…
After an adrenaline high comes the inevitable crash, and that's just what we've got here. After the end of the last issue and the shocking revelation that the Wayne's baby is dead, a lot of people are very upset and looking for someone to take their anger out on. Luckily our hero Slam is here…
The last issue of Poison Ivy was the first time we got to see the titular character in her superhero form. The comic followed the traditional structure of having a main protagonist fight the big bad corporate CEO. The comic ended with our hero in peril with the question of how she would overcome her…
Happy New Year! Dark Knights of Steel has returned with a literal vengeance on the heels of it's ninth issue. After the bizarre murder of Hippolyta in front of everyone, the three kingdoms descend into violent hysteria. Although, this doesn't quite address the mounting questions about what kind of evil they are actually facing. It…
*Deep Sigh* You know what I miss? The feeling that when I pick up a comic, I might get a good story. Instead, I'm reading Joker: the Man Who Stopped Laughing, a book that continues to struggle to meet the lowest of my expectations. The good news is, this issue isn't nearly as confusing as…
It’s a sad day. Sword of Azrael is concluded. This comic has consistently kept me anticipating each month and invested me in a story I didn’t know I wanted told. It would take a pretty spectacular failure for this issue to tarnish the good name that Dan Watters has given the series so far. While…
The final issue of the “Failsafe” arc, which came out last month, was not to my liking. While the ending was intriguing enough for me to want to see what Zdarsky would do next, the way it was executed was uninspired and derivative. But this is the start of a new arc, and I’m hoping…
How redeemable can you make a villain? That's a rhetorical question, of course. The fluid nature of storytelling means that you can do whatever you please with a villain: an antagonist can be good, evil and anywhere in between. Nor is "redeemability" some sort of hard metric: when Darth Vader can still become one with…
In loving memory of Stan Lee, many comic creators have come together in order to deliver alternate universe stories for the likes of Batman, Catwoman, Wonder Woman and more. These stories are incredibly short and vary quite a bit so let’s take a look at them one at a time! “Batman: Choked” This first story…
The mysteries are piling up as Robin tries to put the pieces together. There are clues stranded in a sea of information and he feels like he’s getting closer and closer to unveiling it all! Since these comics attract a lot of criticism from Tim Drake fans I am always happy to include their points…
It's time to dive back into Gotham with our favorite vigilantes! A quick aside before we get started, I've been playing the Heroic Assault raids in Gotham Knights: The Game the Comic the Game, and they're a lot of fun! I teamed up with some friends, and we were able to clear most of the floors…
After last month’s rather chilly ending to the main issue, and flash to the past during the annual, Detective Comics continues its exploration of Gotham’s past, and future with this latest installment. With the addition of Mr. Freeze into the mix, and the Orghams taking more and more steps to control Gotham, things are sure…
After wrapping up most of the major conflicts in the series, Sean Gordon Murphy makes this penultimate issue one big roller-coaster ride to the finale. There are lots of emotional moments, intense action sequences, and character reunions to catapult us into the final act. So why did I feel nothing throughout the entire issue? …
The so-called tales of life and death approach its fourth chapter of the story. In this harrowing edition, Batman finally catches up with Killer Croc as the Penguin finds Robin in his clammy clutches! McNicholas' Batman has mostly just faced goons, assassins, and spunky teenagers, but now he has to reason with Killer Croc. In…
Alexis Kaye has come to play! ...Supposedly! After the harrowing events of Gotham Game #2 and Catwoman #50, Punchline has slowed down considerably. Despite telling anyone who listens that she knows exactly what she's doing, Punchline is struggling with being in over her head. What is the game anyway? Although confidently bossing her gang around,…
