11 on Justice League #70 reviewHey all! Nick's still on vacation, so I'm covering Justice League for him this week! Shouldn't be too rough, I love the League! Now, let's see what we have her- Oh. Justice League: The Biggest Score Ever, Part Two (Alternatively: this issue is a comic! It's part of a comic book!) Hey, is Brian Michael Bendis…
The tournament is over, but that doesn’t mean that Damian’s battles are done. With Connor as the victor, Mother Soul has raised her Lazarus Demon and plans to set it first on the fighters, and then on the world. Just how is Damian going to get out of this one? Something I love about this…
Batman/Catwoman #9 is an intense read as Tom King’s script expertly bounces across three time periods, greatly aided by Liam Sharp’s increasingly surreal art. Each of the three storylines here are equally engaging, leading to one of the most gripping issues of the series so far. Last issue’s cliffhanger is immediately addressed as Joker betrays…
I’m a big fan of Jock’s artwork! He has a knack for both action and horror art and he pretty much always delivers. However, as much as I’ve been enjoying his art over the years, I don’t think I’ve ever read a story that is written by him. If his wordplay is just as good…
Catwoman #38 is a disappointment on almost every level. It pains me to write this, but Ram V’s Catwoman run sputters out in its endgame, leaving the door open for the next creative team without much lingering after effects to better shape the character. What should read like a victory lap, comes across as a…
Nightwing #87 features marvelous art dampened slightly by a thin story that is nonetheless tailor fit for the format of the issue. Each page is a double page spread, which are all connected to create one image if placed side by side. While this allows Bruno Redondo and colorist Adriano Lucas to flex their creative…
Robin & Batman is not a bad comic. Visually, it’s a wonder, with Dustin Nguyen’s paintbrush telling amazing stories with gorgeously illustrated characters and environments. And at this point, Jeff Lemire has proven he is an excellent writer, and he’s plotting and dialogue and consistent and engaging, never the least bit boring. And said script,…
I am Batman #4 is a comic dedicated to cleaning up plot threads and establishing a new status quo that doesn’t seem too different than what just came before. The Magistrate is in shambles, Simon Saint is behind bars, and characters spend a lot of time discussing what just happened as opposed to what happens…
This is a dark comic. Back in the day this kind of stuff was my favorite, when dark and gritty and even deconstruction was still new to me. These days, however, I prefer my superhero comics to be more fun and optimistic. That’s not to say that heroes shouldn’t have problems or that darker themes…
Reading a trade is often a different experience than picking up monthly issues. Messy cliffhangers are resolved immediately, themes are often easier to follow, and pacing issues can be largely invisible when you have six issues of content to burn through in one sitting. I had my problems with Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo’s Nightwing…
Hey everyone! ICE to see you! The holidays are here, and who better to spread some holiday cheer than everyone's favorite Batman News Authors, Cam and Matina (with a little guest appearance from Jay, of course)? Well, don't tell Nick we said anything, but no one! That's why we've teamed up to skate through what's personally…
It’s here, one of the titles I’ve been asking for almost since the moment I fell headlong into Batman comics. Batgirls! At long last we are being gifted a title featuring not one, not two, but all three Batgirls together on their very own adventure. It’s safe to say I’m very excited for this series,…
Last issue Jim Gordon once again came face to face with Joker, and learned a little more about what’s been going on behind the scenes namely how everyone in this book seems to be tied together more and more. It all culminated in quite the cliffhanger as Jim was left for dead, and Joker abducted…
Dark Knights of Steel #1 had a lot of ground to cover, wouldn’t you say Matina? For sure! It was a busy, busy first issue. If I’m honest, it was a little too much for me. In our first review, I covered the lengths writer Tom Taylor and artist Yasmine Putri went to pack as…
I don't know what they've been feeding Robbie Thompson over there at DC, but get him some more of it. I finally feel like he's starting to pick up steam, bringing the Suicide Squad-ness of his team to the forefront. This run is finally starting to come together, and I can officially say I'm excited…
Let me say this without a hint of irony or exaggeration, and with the utmost sincerity: full-stop, this is the best issue of Batman I've read in a long, long time. Perhaps years. While it isn't perfect, it's a great time on its own, and sets up a pretty interesting direction for this arc going…
We have reached the point in Batman ‘89 where I have run out of things to say. Unless something drastically insane happens in the final two issues, then the reviews will consist of many of the same platitudes and comments. Is issue 4 better than the other three? Not the first, for sure, but there’s…
Ladies and gentlemen… This is my last review with Batman News. In fact, it almost doesn’t seem real. But if I’m going to leave, at least I’m leaving with a Batman Annual. Why is this fitting? Well, for a good chunk of years now, the Batman Annuals have been the best Batman content that DC…
Let's be honest. I didn't need to publish this review. I've said it many times before, and I'll say it again. It's a Batman and Scooby-Doo crossover book. You already know if you want to buy it. That being said, I cannot recommend this book more, ESPECIALLY if you love these two franchises as much as I…
It all comes down to this! Can Batman stop Equilibrium before it’s too late? Find out, in Batman: The Detective #6. Too much time, too little time Two months is a long time to wait between issues in any comic series, but with my interest in The Detective waning over the last few installments, two…
