5 on White Knight Presents: Harley Quinn #1 ReviewHere it is. Our first White Knight spin-off comic, with lovely art by Matteo Scalera and written by comics newcomer Katana Collins — who I like already, because 1) she’s written novels with titles like “Soul Stripper” and “Beefcakes,” and 2) her name is Katana. It’s been two years since the events of Curse of…
Roses are red, violets are blue, I'm sick of poems, and I hope you are too, because that's as far as I think I'm taking that bit. It's that time of year, folks! Love is in the air, romance is a-brewing, and this 80 page Valentine's Day special gives us a peek into what it…
So far, Future State: Dark Detective has been a mixed bag. The main Bruce Wayne story has some outstanding moments, but also hinges on a couple of strange writing decisions, including a glaring plot hole (when everyone assumes that Bruce is dead because they found a body in the river that vaguely resembles him). That…
At this point, everyone and their mother has a different opinion on Future State – and while I still ultimately like the change of pace, I can’t deny the validity to a lot of people’s complaints. There are a few standouts throughout each time period the event is trying to portray, but the way they…
Last month's issue of Future State: Robin Eternal ended right in the middle of Robin's attempts to stop a transport of dangerous Lazarus Resin from reaching the Magistrate. With Tim Drake now soaked in the Lazarus Resin he was trying to destroy, he's got a whole new host of problems to deal with. Mainly the question…
Well, here we are, two months into Future State, and I’m curious to see what you guys think of the event so far. For me, the interest and excitement that come with its initial newness has worn a bit, and the whole thing isn’t quite as shiny and fascinating as I had hoped going in.…
I just wasn't fast enough to report on this perfect Valentine's Day gift, and now the thing is out of stock until... err.... Valentine's Day? Oh well, let me show you how gorgeous this Harley Quinn figurine is anyway. Maybe you can still find one before the big day by going to Amazon, Walmart.com, eBay,…
Hey everyone! I’m Cam, one of the new guys on the Batman New Team. I'm still reeling from somehow making it through a comically tragic series of clerical errors very long and very grueling application process, but I’m super glad to be on a team full of wonderful people who love comics just as much…
Spoiler alert: I thought this comic was alright! Normally I tend to give my final thoughts at the end of the issue, but I think it’s important to preface this review with my ultimate opinion. In my review for The Next Batman #1, I praised the comic for its wonderful artwork, smattered across a selection…
Will Harley be able to help former Scarecrow Jonathan Crane take down Black Mask? Will she get released for good behavior? Will any of this matter the second you put the issue down? SPOILERS AHEAD A bland future For all of the aesthetic changes brought to Gotham by Future State, there hasn’t been much new…
Scarecrow, as a character isn't that original. But he works--in the comics, the animated series, and even live-action movies--because the idea behind him is so effective. If you told someone to imagine Scarecrow, they'd have a pretty accurate image in their head, and that's pretty much what Diamond Select is giving us with the DC Gallery…
Maybe it’s because I’ve come to not expect much from Future State, but I found myself really enjoying one of these two stories. I’ll be honest though, there isn’t much depth to either of these stories. Both rely heavily on spectacle and the nostalgia of seeing these fringe characters from the omniverse, but one, in…
This issue offers a quick and easy read, and though it isn’t without flaws, there’s a lot to like here. Gene Luen Yang writes Superman well. I love that Superman takes the time to listen and talk to a teenager that was going to take his own life, and I love that Superman stops to…
We’re back for another issue of Batman: Black & White. I always find myself eager to read these issues because I feel as though the stories focus on the core of what the character is and represents, without feeling the need to change the status quo or be the next big thing! Plus, you can…
On October 10th, 2019, a nervous 21-year-old finished tapping his fingers away at his keyboard, and uploaded his fifth review to Batman News: a critique of Joker/Harley: Criminal Sanity #1. I remember the comments well, as it was the first review of mine to receive somewhat negative feedback! As someone who was relatively new to…
I enjoyed the first issue of Future State: Dark Detective. I was looking forward to the continuation of both Batman and Grifter's stories in #2, and was slightly disappointed to find that the Grifter story isn’t in this issue, though it will likely pick up in #3. What we’re getting instead is a Red Hood…
Batwoman has an impossible task this year, and that applies to the show and character in equal measure. Batwoman the show has to prove to us that the departure of Ruby Rose as Kate Kane is a surmountable obstacle--that the hero can live on without the person who wears its cowl in the comics to…
Spend enough time as a Batman fan, and something strange can happen: you start liking other characters too. I know, it's crazy! Batman's the coolest. But sometimes... sometimes it's nice to see someone else get the spotlight. Not at the expense of Batman, of course, but in his stead. That's what the new film Batman:…
Just like the recent DC cinematic lineup, we've had a glut of Harley Quinn when it comes to the statues we're reviewing lately. This week we have another one that pulls from the character's classic Animated Series look, but is part of Diamond Select's Animated Premiere collection. Because it's a premiere statue, it's made from…
Thanks to my job, I don’t really have the need to buy physical DC comics anymore. Week to week, everyone at Batman News is given access to the latest the company has to offer, which is an insane privilege which I feel grateful for every time I boot up my computer. It gives me the…
