0 on Batman: Fortress #2 reviewIn my review of Fortress #1 I was pretty clear that the book left me wanting. Despite the problems that I had with it, there wasn’t much plot development and too many questions left unanswered to feel like I had a handle on the direction of this series. Now with issue #2 we get more…
I wasn’t really a fan of the previous issue, and I’ve been noticing a dip in quality lately. What the creative team needs to do in order to finish the story on a high note is create narrative focus, especially this late in the game. Is the creative team able to pull that off with…
The latest one-shot for the DC vs. Vampires series is all about Harley Quinn. It's definitely a pivotal issue in the development of this series since, after all the despair and betrayals of DC vs. Vampires, it finally offers a ray of hope, and a possible solution to the Earth's vampire infection. However, being about…
You know, I enjoyed the first issue of G. Willow Wilson’s Poison Ivy so much as a great return to Poison Ivy’s roots (no pun intended). It really disappoints me going from that to the current Harley Quinn run where the character is so poorly written and so far away from her origins that she’s…
It’s been a while since we’ve done one of these, but seeing as my good friend Chad Bilyeu has released the first issue of his new independent comic, I figured it’s time for another "Break From The Bat" article. The Re-Up is an autobiographical comic book series, in which Chad—together with Dutch illustrator Juliette de…
Nightwing #93 is frustrating in that it’s so good that I question why Tom Taylor waited so long to finally turn up the heat in his core narrative. While last month’s issue got some praise in returning its focus to Blüdhaven, this issue doubles down by delivering great action and using that momentum to create…
I’ve certainly been enjoying this series, even though there was plenty to critique in the previous issues. While the character work and artwork have been solid, I think the story’s main villain has been underdeveloped. Seeing as this series’ second arc will start soon, the creative team will have to work really hard to establish…
Catwoman #44 has moments of inspiration, primarily fueled by Bengal’s visual style and thrilling car chase sequences. However, Tini Howard’s script struggles to navigate the testy relationship between Selina and Harley Quinn, creating arguments based on misconceptions that feel forced, which in the end delivers an unsatisfying ending to this two part journey. Starting with…
It wouldn't be a training montage without learning from a retired special ops agent deep in the snowy wilderness, now would it? This month's lesson is less about teaching Bruce a specific skill that he'll need to be Batman, (I don't know if I remember too many times I saw the caped crusader take out…
Dark Crisis: Young Justice is a tie-in miniseries to the current event plaguing the DC universe (Check out Nick's first Dark Crisis review here). Wile the main event focuses on a range of different characters, this mini puts focus specifically on the Young Justice characters and shows how they deal with the death of their…
Empire State of Mind (More like Empire State of Mild, heyo!) reaches its conclusion - and I'm as thoroughly whelmed as ever! Not much else to say, so let's just get into it. With Manray slaughtering his way across the elites of New York City, the mayor is the next on his hitlist. It's up…
Question for you readers at home. What's better than the Justice League but instead of people they're dinosaurs? Trick question. It's absolutely nothing. Anyone who answered anything other than absolutely nothing is wrong and hates fun. Okay, okay. I'm kidding. Kind of. Not really. But kind of. I will not stop fanboying over this book…
This week's issue of Urban Legends wraps up all of our ongoing stories so far. This series has been a little rocky since its inception, but I think this particular issue is an extremely satisfying one considering the amount of middle-of-the-story fragments we've had so far. Batman and Zatanna in "Bound to Our Will: Part 6" …
Now that Batgirls has wrapped up its first arc, the story is moving forward at a steady pace into its next one. Last issue ended with Seer literally knocking at the girls' door, one of their enemies having come straight to them. Will they hear out her plea for help, or send her packing? Already…
Future State: Gotham is having a bit of an identity crisis, and I'm not just talking about the multiple Batmans (Batmen?) running around. When the series started out, it was mainly focused on Red Hood - I mean Peacekeeper Red - taking down renegade vigilantes as part of Gotham's new police force. That was a…
The DC Pride: Tim Drake Special is a collection of all the character’s recent stories featured in Urban Legends along with one new tale. Between them all we see Tim discover his sexual identity, reveal it to Batman, and make peace with his old girlfriend. Is it worth picking up? Let’s see! I want to quickly…
The first issue of Multiversity: Teen Justice picks up on an idea that was sort of introduced in Grant Morrison’s Multiversity. In Earth-11 the “Amazonians of Themyscira imposed their law on the whole world and changed it forever… inspiring generations of women to take the lead in creating the future.” We follow Teen Justice as…
Look who’s back! Back again! Joshie’s back! Tell a friend! Ok, ok. I’ll drop my Slim Shady act. Seriously though, I’m just stepping in because my good friend, Nick, is a little under the weather, already has a lot on his plate, and he needed a tag-team partner this week… It just so happens that…
Alright, credit where it's due: this issue was great! No disclaimer, no "if"s or "but"s, no overarching concerns - I just straight up had a good time with this book, and I'm glad that I did. Let's get right to it and jump into this review! This issue, Thomas is searching for more clues as…
You know, it's funny. I've spent so much time discussing Dark Crisis in my reviews leading up to it... that by the time the event has actually arrived, I feel like I have nothing more to say. I think the book's content - or lack thereof - speaks for itself. Dark Crisis #1 sets the stage…
