0 on DC Vs. Vampires - Hunted #1 reviewYou know who I’ve never liked? Damian Wayne. Go ahead, shoot me. He’s a punk kid who thinks he’s better than everyone else, and is often times drawn with an infuriating smirk. He also happens to be the main character in this one-shot. However, as much as I dislike Damian, this comic is surprisingly a decent read.…
I didn’t have a lot of positive things to say about the last issue of Harley Quinn. Luckily, issue #14 picks up a bit, and we have some more plot to dig into when Batwoman appears on the scene and tries to uncover the mystery of Harley's latest enemy, Verdict. Meanwhile Harley herself is in…
Harley Quinn #13 is the start of a new arc for the series, and honestly, there’s not a whole lot to this issue other than set up. Basically a new villain, obviously disguised as Harley, murders a Gotham gangster related to Carmine Falcone. The real Harley goes about her current life in Gotham City where…
So far every pair of episodes that released at the same time were tied together to tell a cohesive chapter in the story. Episodes 1 and 2 focused on the story in Bruce's mind, while episodes 3 and 4 showed what was going on outside as Barbara investigated Bruce's disappearance. Now we come to a…
The first two issues of this series have been fun, but not without flaws. I think that the creative team has an interesting angle and I think that the story, as it’s unfolding, is very entertaining. Clearly the creative team is trying to give us bang for our buck by packing each issue with adventure…
Catwoman #43 probably isn’t what most readers are expecting after Tini Howard and Nico Leon’s first arc on the series. Bengal takes over on art duties this time around and does a good job with what he’s given by Howard’s script. However, there’s such a sharp shift in tone and stakes that it almost feels…
Nightwing #92 finally has the series return its focus to Blüdhaven and Dick Grayson’s Haven project. There’s been a lack of momentum in the series’ larger narrative, but Tom Taylor’s script better manages to tell a contained story while also setting up compelling pieces with Blockbuster who has mostly stayed on the sidelines until now.…
The big question that I had at the end of the last episode was how exactly the show was going to move forward now that it had established that the police procedural story is all in Bruce's head. Well it turns out the answer to that question is "with a different police procedural." This show…
The longer the Shadow War event continues, the less it seems like a war and the more it resembles a hunt. Shadow War centers on the death of a major Batman villain and the subsequent clash between the League of Shadows and the Secret Society of Supervillains. The four stories of the Shadow War Zone…
Every issue of this series has been about Bruce developing a different skill in his journey to becoming Batman, and the lesson of the month in Batman: The Knight #5 is espionage. While keeping the same format for 5 issues so far (and presumably for the next 5 issues as well) does start to get…
Batman Unburied is not the kind of story I was expecting. When I heard that there would be a new Batman audio drama on Spotify, my assumption was that it would be a very standard superhero story structure, just spoken. Instead it turned out to be something more akin to a forensic police procedural. This…
Everyone needs something that allows them to let off some steam. Some people play sports, others fish, while some cook or craft or play video games. While these activities can go hand in hand with hobbies, what one person may engage in for excitement and entertainment, another does so for the purposes of relaxation. After…
"Sometimes, less is more." That's the phrase that kept repeating in my head as I read I Am Batman #9 - and indeed, issues #7 and #8. While I went into this new arc with excitement, all three of these issues have brought the same problem with them that the book had before: try as I…
This book is about the Justice League if they were dinosaurs. That's it. Recommended if... Overall Why are you still reading this? Go buy the book. 20 copies, at least. Score: Perfect/10 DISCLAIMER: DC Comics provided Batman News with- Okay, I'm being told I have to actually talk about this? I thought you guys were…
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a massive fan of Batman: the Brave and the Bold-style team-up stories, so when I volunteered to pick up the rest of Urban Legends, I knew I was in for a good time. Though I missed out on the Batman/Question team-up that always lead to my favorite stories, there are…
Batgirls is at the end of its first arc, and what an opening story it’s been. Packed full of new locations, bad guys, and adventure the girls have been more than busy. Let’s see how all the pieces of their first puzzle come together, shall we? This issue of Batgirls pretty much picks up right…
Suicide Squad: Get Joker is a series that was created to capitalize on the release of James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad. Its first issue came out back in August, 2021, and its second issue released the month after… and now, finally the last issue releases over half a year later. In all honesty, I thought…
Here we are again with another edition of Justice League vs. the Legion of Super-Heroes. When reviewing the latest issue of a series (especially a mini-series) the question that is really being asked is: “has anything changed since last month?” and in many ways the answer is "No." Issue #3 is very much in line…
If I had use a word to describe this issue, it would be "padded." The story at the heart of the issue is genuinely enjoyable, but only about half of the pages are actually about that. A not insignificant amount of this issue is from other stories. Not just recapping, but lifting entire pages from…
Harley Quinn is my favorite comic book character. In fact, she is THE reason I got into both Batman and DC Comics. I have a very sizable collection of Harley Quinn statues and merchandise, I’ve followed the character in every one of her appearances, and I know more about her history than should be healthy…
