  • RWBY/Justice League #4 review

    Last month team RWBY and the Trinity set off on an investigation into the missing students and townspeople, there they ran into Flash and Cyborg, and we got to learn a little more about the world and its inhabitants. With more questions that need answering, the team moves forward into this month’s adventure.  The story…


  • Batman: Reptilian #2 review

    I confess that I—like, perhaps, many of you—assumed that Batman: Reptilian, was going to be about Killer Croc. Maybe it still will be, but I’m not so sure anymore. Nevertheless, it’s still an interesting mystery, and issue #2 builds on the suspense—the dread—of the first. So how does it look up close? Liam (not so)…


  • Harley Quinn #5 review

    Harley, Harley, Harley. I’ve enjoyed this book for the good time it has been up to this point, but I’ve also wondered where it’s been going. I’m still not sure we have the answer, but Harley Quinn #5 does bring some of the run’s initial plot points to a sort of completion. But are the…


  • LEGO Batman Classic TV Series Batmobile review

    What’s this? Another LEGO set review, this time appraising George Barris’ beautifully bombastic and bewilderingly breathtaking Batmobile? A set that sees those two arch-fiends, the Caped Crusader and the Clown Prince of Crime, locked in miniature melee? What wonders will we uncover in the construction of the classic car?  Read on to find out, fellow…


  • Justice League #65 review

    This week might have to involve a bit of "phoning it in", as they say. It's not that either Justice League or Justice League Dark have terrible instalments this week - in fact, both stories make clear efforts to progress the story and get their audiences excited for what's to come. That being said, I'm not all…


  • Nightwing #82 review

    Nightwing #82 makes good on the promise of its cover, spending most of the issue in a flashback showing exactly how Melinda Zucco is Dick Grayson’s sister. While there will be some readers who are immediately put off by this revelation, what’s on the page here is a well told story that remains true to…


  • Catwoman #33 review

    Catwoman #33 picks the pace right back up on a narrative front, effortlessly regaining its high stakes after two issues of backstory. That’s not to say the series ever dipped, but Ram V’s script does appear to know it’s time to ramp up again given the sheer amount of chaos in this month’s issue. Fernando…


  • Legends of the Dark Knight #3 review

    Here we are at the last part of Robertson’s Bad Night, Good Knight story. Batman has had a rough night, chasing down various Rogues, struggling with his own personal demons, and when we last left him, being captured by Quiz. Will Robertson stick the landing, or are the disparate portions of this story just not…


  • LEGO Batman Cowl review - Build the world famous mask

    We have reached a point in human history where LEGO and Batman practically go hand in hand.  There are tons of Batman LEGO sets. Batman was in The LEGO Movie. LEGO Batman had his own movie, complete with righteous theme song. Will Arnett, the voice of LEGO Batman, hosts the hit competition show LEGO Masters.…


  • The Joker #5 review

    In this flashbackular spectacular, Captain James Gordon over-promises and over-books District Attorney Harvey Dent, his wife and children, and his own internal need to keep an eye on the recently captured Joker. Hijinks ensue! ART When I first looked over this issue, looking at the panels I thought, Who’s doing this half-arsed Francesco Francavilla looking…


  • Batman: The Detective #4 review

    Hey guys! You're talking to Nick today - Brian couldn't make it for this review, so I've stolen his identity for the next few hours so that I can upload this article. Rest assured, I've made many purchases with his PayPal account. Brian's reviews for Tom Taylor and Andy Kubert's Batman: The Detective have painted a pretty…


  • Justice League: Last Ride #3 review

    There are a lot of ideas in this series that I like, but I haven’t always been a fan of the execution of those ideas. The previous issue was certainly an improvement, as it had several scenes that I liked a lot, but there were also moments where I had my doubts and concerns. Still,…


  • The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #4 Review

    Scooby and the gang are back, and they're facing their greatest threat yet- Black Mask! They'll need some help on this one, and who better than Nightwing and Batgirl? That's right sports fans, Nightwing is here!! In a Scooby-Doo comic!! I literally could not be happier. Now, before I spend my entire article gushing about…


  • Future State: Gotham #3 Review

    After a promising second issue, Future State: Gotham returns for its third foray into the dark future of, well, Gotham. Previously, Peacekeeper Red and the Next Batman had been caught in the middle of a mass breakout at Blackgate Penitentiary. Will this unlikely duo survive the night, or do the inmates of Blackgate have more…


  • Challenge of the Super Sons #4 review

    Last month we saw the Super Sons manage to escape Vandal Savage in the past only to run into him in the present again! Just what are they to do about that? Save the day of course! We are officially at the halfway point of this series and I have to say this issue was…


  • Detective Comics #1039 review

    We’ve reached the conclusion of Tamaki’s first arc, “The Neighborhood.” Gradually, I’ve been getting more and more critical of this series, but I was still hoping that the creative team would be able to stick the landing. Do they succeed? Let’s have a look. Well…while I wouldn’t say this entire comic book is bad, I…


  • Batman: Urban Legends #5 review

    Once more into the fire, as we have another issue of Batman: Urban Legends.  As I said in this week’s Upcoming Comics, there are two types of stories in this series: okay stories from great creators, and backdoor pilots for potential standalone books.  This month, at least one of the stories is both of those…


  • Suicide Squad #5 Review

    Okay. I'm going to be honest. Suicide Squad infuriates me. I absolutely cannot understand how this book could go from a solidly mediocre beginning, to whatever last issue was, to something this GOOD. This issue is so insanely entertaining, it legitimately makes me upset that this hasn't been the whole book. All's Fair in Blood and Sport Perhaps…


  • Justice League Infinity #1 review

    The definitive iteration of the Justice League is back y’all. A follow-up to such a venerated series has a lot to live up to. Especially in a media landscape where the mainstream versions of its heroes have been deformed into mass murderers and sad brooding objectivists. So is it any good? Praise Amazo, it is!…


  • Batman/Fortnite: Zero Point #6 review

    Thank every dark god that ever crawled up out of the abyss. Our bizarre odyssey (more like blasé slog) is over. About halfway through Batman/Fortnite #6, Catwoman makes a humorous, topical, reference to the song Hotel California by The Eagles. The mean age of the band’s founding members is 73. Their song Hotel California was released…
