1 on Batman: Black & White #6 reviewThe final issue of Batman: Black & White hits stands this week! For the most part, this has been an incredible collection of stories with fantastic art. The real question is whether or not the miniseries will go out with a bang or a whimper. Find out below! “The Second Signal” Written by Brandon Thomas…
The Suicide Squad have invaded Titans Tower! And Superboy is one of them (a choice I still find both bizarre and dumb). And I am legitimately not here for it in the slightest. There has been nearly zero character development in this series so far, and what little we’ve gotten is tied to this forced…
The previous two Batman/Superman issues are outstanding comics. On the one hand, it’s great when a creative team starts out strong. On the other hand, there lies a great challenge in this, because the team has set a high bar for themselves. Will they be able to keep up the level of quality? Let’s have…
Although I’ve critiqued this current run (which started in the Future State: Dark Detective issues) quite a bit, I do think it’s been an entertaining story. With every new issue, I’m warming up more to Tamaki’s approach to Batman, and I’m getting more invested in the story. That certainly hasn’t changed with this issue, so…
The first issue of Robin ended on a deadly cliffhanger that left me eagerly awaiting answers to a million questions. The biggest one being did Robin really die, and if so what does that mean for the book going forward? The short answer is yes. Of course. But he’s also mostly fine. On Lazarus Island…
Last month we started our journey into a delightful mash up of RWBY and the Justice League, and met most of the main cast we’ll see from here on. This month promises Weiss, a Faunus Bruce Wayne, and at last the group being reunited. Will they all work together, or is this idea just not…
In many ways, it's hard to believe we're only three issues into Brian Michael Bendis' run of Justice League. I can't say I'm complaining! Reviewing two Justice League comics a month wasn't my favourite thing to do when the books were only occasionally delivering an issue I genuinely really enjoyed. That said, there are downsides to this new…
The title fight is here! Batman is going to V the ever-loving bejesus out of Snake Eyes. Right? Right!? I’m sure at least a couple people out there are pumped about it. As for myself, if this fight is even a little fun, I’ll forgive DC for letting Donald Mustard, my enemy, illustrate a Batman…
Nightwing #80 is the strongest issue so far in this run since it actually has some form of forward momentum. I haven’t been in love with the series as most so far, but I had a feeling my patience would be rewarded and this month’s issue largely satisfies. Tom Taylor’s script turns the screws in…
Catwoman #31 brings the series back to a heist oriented storyline, but Ram V’s script delivers these familiar goods in a stylish package. Fernando Blanco is allowed to stretch his comedic muscles more than usual, whether it be through taking jabs at high society or the sly glances Selina exchanges with her allies right before…
In following DC’s latest trend of relaunching popular titles, they’ve once again started publishing Legends of the Dark Knight. I haven’t had the opportunity to read a ton of the original run, or the previous digital first one, but I do love the idea of an anthology series that gives writers a little more time…
Someone is killing the people Batman saved. The Dark Knight is on the trail, but can he get track down the murderous mastermind before anyone else dies? Answers await in Batman: The Detective #2. What is a detective story? I caught flak—albeit gentle flak—in the comments of my review for #1, presumably because I contended that Taylor…
We’ve got DC Comics Festival of Heroes: The Asian Superhero Celebration! I was pretty excited heading into this because I knew it would spotlight some of my favorite characters – I’m looking at you Cass, Tatsu, Emiko, and New Super-Man – and it would tap Asian creators to bring these stories to life. It seemed…
In the not-so-distant Future State, Gotham has changed. An oppressive figure known as the Magistrate has banned all vigilantes from active duty. Of course, none of Gotham's crime fighters actually stopped, so now the Magistrate is cracking down on these criminal scum. And who better to bring in the Bat-family than the Red Hood, mercenary…
You know, if you had told me five years ago that we were getting a movie involving -- let alone STARRING -- the Justice Society, I would have laughed in your face. "No way," I'd have said, "They're too focused on the Justice League and Batman to do anything cool like that! Speaking of Batman,…
Mystery Inc. reunites with the Dynamic Duo for the second installment of this series, and the problem is bigger than ever: there's a ghost in the Batcave! Can Batman, Robin, and the gang spook the spectre out of their subterranean space? Let's find out! As is the practice with this book, since the print books…
Stop me if you’ve heard this one. A clown walks into a room, shoots some poor policeman’s daughter in the spine, and then kidnaps and tortures him. What? That’s a famous Joker story? You don’t say? I had no idea, truly. Good thing James Tynion’s here to remind me with an exposition-dump of a monologue…
This book doesn’t start off like a typical Justice League adventure. The tone is rather grim, and there’s conflict within the League. I think as a first issue, it’s successful in setting up the plot and the status quo. But, even though all these pieces are in-place so the creative team can get the story…
Last month we joined Robin and Superboy on a new adventure as they began a race against time to save the Justice League from the curse of the doom scroll! Between all that we had time travel shenanigans and the boys being their usual charming selves. Can they keep up the momentum this month? Let’s…
Batman: Urban Legends #3 is fine. All the way through. In my entire time reading it, my feelings didn’t waver strongly one way over the other. I liked some things, disliked others, but didn’t really move far past “that was still okay” either way. The ongoing stories? Yeah, they’re fine. The new one-and-done chapter? Yep,…
