11 on Batman #102 reviewA mysterious figure from Batman's past comes to Gotham to show the Dark Knight how it's done. But who is Ghost Maker, and what is he really doing here? That is the primary question left on the table by Batman #102, but is it worth the lead-up? You can't get there from here Whether he's had…
This book is a weird one to review. Recently, I’ve been very pleasantly surprised at the consistent level of quality we’re seeing from Justice League – especially when it’s serving the role of a tie-in to a larger event that I don’t have many positive feelings for. Joshua Williamson, Xermanico and Robson Rocha are telling…
Dear Lord, have I been stuck in a time loop for a year? When I began my review gig at Batman News, I had no ongoing books I was assigned to review. All I had were miniseries: Batman vs Ra’s al Ghul, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy, Joker/Harley: Criminal Sanity, and Tales from the Dark…
So, here we are at the end of Young Justice. In the last two weeks I've reviewed final issues of three titles, and out of all of them I think Young Justice sends off its heroes most successfully. It still stumbles into the pitfall of trying to do a little too much, but it has fun doing…
In last month’s issue we followed some of our heroes to New Genesis and beyond, to meet with Metron and the other New Gods, in order to find out more about the cure for the Anti-Life virus. While that issue did advance the plot and ended on one hell of a cliffhanger, I thought the…
This is the penultimate issue of Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo’s Suicide Squad, and they don’t hold back from delivering some hard knocks! The Story Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo have delivered an insanely entertaining run on Suicide Squad! It’s a run that has been action packed, shocking, engaging, and even heartfelt. With the introduction…
WARNING: Full spoilers for all of Three Jokers will follow. Well, here we are. DC’s Rebirth line began over four years ago now, and when bookended with Dark Nights: Death Metal, we see one of the most interesting creative trajectories a comic book company has made in recent history. What started as a critically and…
A new arc starts in this issue, and it’s a great jumping-on point for new readers. All you need to know is that Bruce is broke and that a former police officer by the name of Nakano is running for mayor, while also campaigning against vigilantes in Gotham. That’s right. He wants to get rid…
Batman Beyond #48 is pure comic book fun. Dan Jurgens does lean away from the series’ strong ensemble cast for another “altered memories” plot line, but this time the story is set to dive deeper into Terry and Bruce’s relationship. Paul Pelletier is on art duties and turns in solid work that does more than…
Have you ever read something that feels like it should have been three or four issues long, but was shoved into a single book? That’s what reading this issue of Red Hood feels like. As the final issue in Scott Lobdell’s run it should be a send off for the book, and in some instances…
In the previous issue, Batwoman and Steel found out that Batman and Superman had been captured by a hostile computer program. Despite Batman’s warnings and orders to stay put and not follow him and Superman, Batwoman and Steel hopped into a spaceship and began to track down the World’s Finest duo. Even though I didn’t…
Batgirl #50 is an oversized issue, that both finishes off Castelluci's run, and features two extra one shots featuring Batgirl. Each story is written by Castlluci and has different artists on each story and since they're all so different I'll review each one (the last two briefly since they are short) and give an overall…
As an event, Death Metal has generally not been my cup of tea. I was pretty excited when it started, but all the added stories have done little to keep me feeling that way. In fact, a lot of what it's been doing has pushed me away. So it's safe to say I didn't have…
Well… This is not what I was hoping for. I guess when life gives you lemons, make lemonade with Lady Shiva? The Story For nearly its entire run, I’ve praised Bryan Edward Hill’s Batman & the Outsiders. With Dexter Soy and some other artists, these creatives have managed to craft a strong story that continued…
With “Joker War” behind us, one has to wonder what James Tynion has planned for the remainder of his run. We know that his run was originally intended to be a short stint just to get to 5G and that he changed the ending of “Joker War”, but after some solid sales and with 5G…
Nightwing #75 isn’t the issue I wanted it to be. With Dick Grayson finally restored with his memories, I wanted Dan Jurgens to hit the ground running and leave behind the remnants of the “Ric saga”. Unfortunately, Jurgens writes Dick as unsure of his next steps, even keeping him out of his Nightwing costume for…
While last month’s issue gave a glimpse at what Ram V and Fernando Blanco had in store for their run, Catwoman #26 delivers a more focused and intriguing set of obstacles for Selina to overcome. V’s Selina is far removed from the self loathing mess of previous arcs and while there are a few cracks…
It’s 12am, October 21st, and a man with more hair than dignity sits at his desk, typing away at his Justice League review. He’s listening to a Spotify playlist, though he doesn’t recognize any of the songs. There’s a peace to his routine – a happiness and contentment to reviewing comic books he enjoys, nestled…
The Teen Titans are on a quest to right the wrongs they committed by imprisoning and mind wiping their foes. When they are confronted by Superboy on his own search for Robin, how will they react? I actually did not mind this issue. That’s not to say I’m a fan of this run, but I…
Who, in your opinion, are the best adversaries in all of fiction? The dynamic of the arch-enemy is one that has persisted for many a decade, and it’s created a sea of wonderful content. The creative potential of two individuals at diametrically opposed ends of morality… well, it’s a well that you can seemingly draw…
