10 on Nightwing #89 reviewNightwing #89 spins a rote murder mystery that serves only to distract from the more engaging moments between Dick Grayson and Jon Kent. This issue reads more like a Tom Taylor greatest hits, built for fans of his recent work before fans of Nightwing himself. Bruno Redondo turns in excellent work as per usual, but…
It's a major bummer when, even though there's an overwhelming majority of Bat-books over at DC right now, there's only one that our team is consistently excited about. It's a major win, however, when I get to review that book. Let's talk about Batman: The Knight #2 Nick took my "who was in Paris" joke so…
“Shadows of the Bat” is on a downward spiral. With each issue, the quality seems to drop further, and it wasn’t that great to begin with. It’s also overpriced—you’d end up spending a minimum of $60.88 if you were to pick up every single issue of this event, and that’s just the cover price (see…
Hey, remember when this was gonna be a book about the Robins getting together, sitting down, and talking about whether or not being Robin was good for them? Haha, yeah. Me too. Anyways, I don't really have anything to say about this other than I am disappointed I will give Tim Seeley credit in…
The thing that appeals to me the most about McFarlane Toys' DC Multiverse line is how much variety they offer. I mean, sure, there are lots of Batman figures, but that's to be expected given that he's pretty popular these days. Even with a ton of variations on the Caped Crusader, that still leaves plenty…
Okay, now this is more like it! I'm going to try and make this review as snappy and to-the-point as possible. In short, while I had my doubts about Jace Fox's move to New York, this is a very good first issue in his new arc: and sets the stage for what could be Jace's first…
Robins #3 is another book in a thankfully short series that dives farther and farther into exactly where I don't want it to go. I feel like I'm banging my head against a wall at this point, but can we please stop having every Batman book involve a secret plot that no one has ever…
The Batgirls are busy busy busy as they try to settle into their new home, and unravel the many mysteries surrounding them. Last month they made some headway on that, but were interrupted at the end by Tutor hypnotizing a crowd of people and even Stephanie! Just what is going on here? This issue continues…
And here's another chapter of “Shadows of the Bat,” the 12-issue weekly event running through Detective Comics. So far barely anything has happened in the story and it’s been a real chore keeping up with this. To make things worse, DC is also charging a lot of money for this series—if you were to buy…
At last, a book gives me a chance to really share my expertise: critiquing how a creative team chooses to represent my home state Texas. I’m kidding–mostly. It’s not often I get to see names and places I know as well as my own face in fiction, so there is some sense of ownership of…
Batman/Catwoman #10 puts its chips on the table as the story pivots from simmering tension to an all out brawl across all three of its storylines. Clay Mann’s return to art duties makes things more tactile than the past few issues, while Tom King’s script finally gets to let loose and shed much of the…
This coming April, DC Comics invite you to go back to the future in Batman Beyond: Neo-Year. The six-issue miniseries spins out of Batman: Urban Legends #7, where the entire world of Terry McGinnis and his home of Neo Gotham was shaken up. Bruce Wayne died, Wayne Manor burned to the ground, and the entire…
Up to this point, I’ve mostly been taking a look at McFarlane’s individually packaged figures, so getting a few multipacks was a pleasant surprise. Even more surprising was the fairly eclectic stories that these sets pulled from: two are from Dark Nights: Metal, one is from Curse of the White Knight, and the final set…
“Shadows of the Bat” has been trying my patience. Not only is there barely anything happening in these issues, they’re also very expensive, to a point that you’ll end up spending at least $60.88 if you were to pick up all single issues in this event (see my intro of #1047 for a breakdown of…
Suicide Squad just keeps getting better. I know I keep saying it, but I’ll stop when this book does. Robbie Thompson has absolutely been crushing it on this title for a good long while now, and everything that’s been building for the past few issues comes to a head in this incredible conclusion to this…
Robins #2 is here, and boy howdy is it a book! Full of some of the art, dialogue, and storytelling I’ve ever seen, this book is, definitely! Throwing Down the Gauntlet I think the thing that’s bothering me so much about this book (aside from my previously stated gripes with the Round Robin tournament) is…
Josh Williamson has achieved a hat trick, with his third outing on Batman maintaining the quality of the previous two issues. Without trying to sound to critical, I don't know if this is going to go down as One Of The All-Time Great Runs, but I don't think it needs to either. It's just good,…
The fine folks at McFarlane are back with another few waves of action figures, so prepare for more reviews in the coming weeks. Up first, we have the final figures in the Batman: Three Jokers line, with McFarlane truly saving the best for last with that batch, and an unrelated character who is nonetheless one…
Little Caesars' Batman Calzony is part pizza and part calzone, but is it worth your time to taste vengeance? The Dark Knight is no stranger to fast food promotional tie-ins. Going all the way back to 1989, Tim Burton's Batman film was represented at Taco Bell through a series of super awesome plastic cups, along…
When's the last time you really cared about the Justice League? For me, it was probably 2018, with the conclusion of No Justice shortly following Dark Nights: Metal. There was a level of momentum to that story that I adored, and it bought me enough good will to enjoy a lot of Snyder and Tynion's writing…
