4 on Batman & Robin: Year One #5 reviewWhat's that lurking in the shadows? A caped crusader? A boy wonder? How about a review of a comic featuring both of them! I must apologise for my absence, unfortunately, it couldn't be helped, but fear not! I'm back to give you all the down low on the newest issue of B&R: Y1 and let you…
With Batman, Superman, and Robin in Atlantis trying to fix the crisis that has developed, the story has really separated into three distinct plots. They're all connected by a main thread, but each goes off in their own direction. There's the battle with Woodrue as he tries to take over all plants in Atlantis, the…
Renee Montoya had one job as the head of security of the Watchtower, and so far, she has been terrible at it. Can she turn things around, or will she have to face unemployment… as well as the death of every superhero in the DC Universe because that’s what the Justice League is now? I…
After causing mayhem at a party of one of the Belov brothers, Selina makes her way to Japan in search of further answers. Does the location switch manage to liven up what has been a rather dull story so far? So stop me if you’ve heard this before. Catwoman is attacked by assailants who seem…
Nightwing is finding out that taking back the city isn't quite as easy as 1, 2, 3 in Nightwing #123. Lame joke aside, Dan Watters' "On With The Show" saga continues with a closer look at another Blüdhaven street gang. This time, we get the 4-1-1 on the so-called "Flyboiz." As Spheric and Helios seek…
For issue #18 of Batman & Robin, the Dynamic Duo are on separate missions in order to stop the chaos that’s ensuing due to the atrocities that Memento’s been committing throughout Gotham. Batman, along with Red Hood, are trying to end a shoot out between rival mobs. Meanwhile, Damian and Lieutenant Lautrec are investigating Scarecrow’s…
sigh Why do you keep doing this to me DC vs Vampires? Every time I think I should give up on you, you put in the bare minimum effort to keep this relationship going (Happy Valentine’s Week to our readers). And like a schmuck who doesn’t know any better, I choose to stay. Oh yeah,…
Batman's war against Black Mask and the Party Animals gang comes to a boiling point as he pushes the limits of their "truce". The continuous, back and forth antagonism between them has become a running theme of the story. Both rely on theatrics and shock and awe tactics to achieve their goals, and now they're…
It has been a little over five months since the last issue of Jason Aaron and Doug Mahnke’s epic space odyssey, but the finale of Batman: Off-World is finally here. Ione the Tamaranean, who was once thought as an ally to the Dark Knight but is now his betrayer, has turned Batman over to the…
After two and a half years, Chip Zdarsky's run on Batman comes to a close. Over the course of his roughly thirty issues, Zdarsky developed a clear thematic focus of using Batman's past as a way of examining his psyche. While certainly not the first writer to make Batman's origins central to the story he…
In the last issue of Batgirl, Cassandra and Lady Shiva were fleeing from Gotham on a train to regroup and come up with a plan to confront the Unburied. That led them to meeting up with Nyssa al Ghul (who’s back from the dead somehow) and a couple of associates of the League of Shadows.…
Christian Ward's Two-Face has been amazing so far, but what is it all about? When the series began, Harvey Dent became an impromptu mediator for Gotham's criminal underworld. Although the White Church is a manifestation of Harvey's guilt, it seemingly serves as somewhat rehabilitation. Yet, a ominous Shadow Hand is intentionally sabotaging his venture with…
I'm back, out of reviewer retirement to help Jackson, Aaron, and Akash cover this holiday anthology. These books are always interesting though rarely consistent, so, let's see if it's worth a read! Lex Luthor in "Lex and the City" Aaron: Inspired by the column and hit television series of nearly the same name, writer Sina…
DC Power returns to celebrate yet another compilation of black led stories. Last year, creatives like Brandon Thomas, Khary Randolph, and N.K Jimisin brought their unique voices to the underrepresented pantheon of black characters. Directly following Absolute Power, this year's edition sets up the return of The Power Company. Outside of functioning as a backdoor…
So far, this run on Catwoman has been pretty to look at but has underwhelmed a bit in terms of its approach to the story. While not bad, the story has felt like a mix of previously established Catwoman tropes commonly seen in previous stories like When in Rome and Lonely City (yes, I recently…
So, after a rather enjoyable detour focusing mainly on the Martian Manhunter, I’ve come around to this premise of every superhero being on the League. There’s certainly potential here if the creative team uses the heroes creatively, if what happens in this series isn’t contradicted by stuff happening elsewhere, and if everything comes together just…
After his first big screen adventure, Little Batman is back in action in his first real month of crimefighting. Left to his own devices, a young Damian Wayne seeks to rescue his father from kidnappers all by himself. Incidentally, his father is perfectly fine, because he's Batman. In this issue, Scarecrow's plan begins to develop,…
Last issue had a lot of what felt like "big moments", where there was some sort of twist or event that drove the story forward. This issue has less of that, as it's mostly reacting to those moments and preparing for what will be coming next. Well, I suppose that's not entire true. There is…
Action. Adventure. Mystery. Intrigue. These are the ingredients for a successful comic, and luckily, this new arc promises plenty of each. One of the biggest appeals of this series from the beginning has been the "back to basics" approach Mark Waid took, focusing on straightforward superhero adventures as opposed to the continuity-laden mega plots of…
Part four of Nightwing's "On With The Show" focuses on the secret origin of Olivia Pearce. At the same time, Dan Watters briefly explores Dick Grayson's time as Robin. As Nightwing desperately tries to convince the powers that be of the growing corruption, the gang war continues to escalate out of control. Ultimately, there seems…
