50 on Dark Crisis: Young Justice #5 reviewThis comic can’t end soon enough. While I can’t claim it continues to get worse, staying the same is certainly bad enough. Seriously, here we are with the penultimate issue and it feels like nothing has happened. Not only in this issue but in the preceding four as well. In most cases, that would cause…
Nightwing #97 is a well executed issue that slows down the series after its bombastic climax in ”The Battle for Blüdhaven’s Heart”. The stakes are well defined, there’s simmering tension as crooked cops remain a present threat, and all the while Heartless remains hidden on the fringes. However, there’s a growing sense of safety and…
Catwoman #48 continues Selina and Valmont’s international adventure as they head to Tuscany to make a bid for Dario’s life. Nico Leon is back on art duties, bringing back the slick aesthetic of the beginning of Tini Howard’s run with mixed results. While the new setting injects some life into the series, Valmont’s love story…
This is a new miniseries that focuses on police officers in the streets rather than masked superheroes on the rooftops. At NYCC 2022, Ridley said that this book will mainly focus on social criticism, Renee’s struggles with her new position as commissioner and addiction, and that the book will be rather dark in tone. All…
After Raven had taken up the offer of shaping the world to her liking we are introduced to a whole new reality where the Church of Blood has found a new messiah and their power has become omnipresent. Tim Drake is dropped into the world as the only one to retain memories of what used…
This chapter of Tom Taylor's Undead Gods eases off the pedal and focuses on how Anti-life is developing in the wider universe. As the threat continues to grow in the background, heroes, villains, and gods prepare to face the dark forces or perish! Most of the narrative weight rests on the shoulders of three characters.…
Batman: The Knight #10 offers the big, climactic finale to a series that I'm not sure needed one. The time spent on Bruce's training abroad, in the past, has always been vaguely referenced and left with plenty of gaps. This approach is very useful to writers, since it allows them to insert whatever lesson or…
Harley's back, and she's got a new squad. Picking up right where season 3 of the show left off, Harley Quinn: The Animated Series: Legion of Bats! #1 focuses on Harley's new struggle to reconcile her heroic status with how she once thought of herself as a villain. Like the last tie-in comic series for…
All-Out War #4 continues the vampire saga with whatever bloody glory it can muster. The war finally kicks it up a notch as Constantine's "Suicide Squad" approach their quarry at the Blood Farm. Unfortunately, they need all the luck they can to survive the malicious Baron Cinder and his vampire knights. After last issue's distraction,…
DC's Terrors Through Time is a fright filled anthology of DC's heroes as they face off against their darkest fears, ghostly hauntings, and the perils of trick or treating. These eight tales feature a varied cast of characters, adventures, and creative teams and at least one is sure to be up your alley. The reviews…
The mystery of the Hill Ripper continues in this month’s Batgirls. Their investigation deepens as outside sources give them help and support. Additionally their relationships grow and change in their day to day lives. I mentioned this in my last review, but I feel like with this arc the story is finding a groove that…
So you’ve made it to the finale of “The Right Question” and maybe like me you had no idea that it was the finale even after reading it because the story was so underwhelming. If you’re following these reviews or the I Am Batman comics then chances are you were paying closer attention than me…
Batman vs. Robin #2 delivers a spectacle of exposition, clearly establishing the stakes and motivations of every character. It’s a risky endeavor, but Mahmud Asrar’s sense of style and Mark Waid’s sense of humor elevate what could have been a dry read into a thrilling, and often funny, chapter. Right from the start, Waid’s script…
As the resident Scooby Doo lover at Batman News, this book was made for me. That doesn’t mean I’m going to let it off the hook for some of its shortcomings, but regardless of quality I am grateful for its existence. So, let’s get right into it! I’d like to get my principal complaint out…
Welp. It's here. The last issue of Jurassic League. That can't be right, right? If it's the last issue, that means there's no more, and if there's no more... No. No, I won't let that happen. The cool dinosaur comic cannot end. How am I supposed to go on with no Jurassic League left to review?…
The final issue of Future: State Gotham wraps up the story lines maybe as well as one could expect, but that isn't saying much. The same problems that have plagued the series since this latest arc began continue through to the end. The plot continues to be chaotic nonsense, the characters are not well fleshed…
At long last, Grant Morrison's Batman Incorporated finally returns! This time the team is no longer under Bruce Wayne's benevolent oversight, and is now led by Batman's infamous rival Ghost-Maker. However, the new regime hasn't made any believers out of its members nor the readers yet. To make matter's worse, a highly-skilled killer targets Batman's…
It's been over two years, but Mondo is back with another 12-inch Batman: The Animated Series figure, and it was worth the wait. Mondo's latest is none other than The Clown Prince of Crime and not only is he impressively well-crafted, painted, and highly poseable, but he boasts the Batman: The Animated Series (I'll just…
Pennyworth season 3 is finally out on HBO Max, and it's a brave new world filled with science. As Pennyworth season 3 opens, it has been five years since the Civil War between the Raven Society and the No-Name League, and life is back to normal. Well, as 'normal' as it can get in a…
So I've finally sat down at my hotel in New York, New York. Casper and Cam are trying to order food, the rest of the Batman News team are sending their best wishes, and I'm recovering from the jet lag of three flights over thirty hours, which was delayed due to being stuck in customs.…
