34 on Batman #92 reviewJames Tynion’s Batman, for me, is like watching a reality show. There’s a lot of hype and melodrama, but in the end, there just isn’t much substance. And, honestly, that’s a shame because Tynion has some grand ideas, but the execution just isn’t there. The Story This week’s issue continues “Their Dark Designs,” which takes…
Today we're talking about Mondo's latest foray into Batman: The Animated Series collectibles (my favorite type of collectibles). You'll recall that Mondo already released a 1/6 scale Batman (that I liked), a Mr. Freeze (that I loved), and now we have Selina Kyle herself joining the collection. This time around I filmed the unboxing and…
You all know I’m a fan of the Birds of Prey, and if you’re not aware of that, I implore you to dig a little more into my history. So, when this specific title was announced, I was quite excited. Brian Azzarello isn’t my favorite writer – he’s very hit and miss for me –…
The current Batman/Superman series hasn’t been the kind of book that I would also be reading if I wasn’t reviewing it. In my previous reviews I have expressed my opinions on dialogue, pacing, exposition, and the fact that the story itself is sometimes overshadowed by the many references to other books. However, I enjoyed Batman/Superman…
All right, it’s been a hot minute since we’ve read Detective Comics #1021. The story so far has been about Harvey Dent’s internal struggle with Two-Face; Two-Face’s cult; and Batman’s attempts at unraveling the mystery behind the cult and helping his old friend Harvey. Last issue ended on a cliffhanger where we saw Two-Face shooting…
There’s a lot of Catwoman content this week on the stands and Catwoman 80th Anniversary 100-Page Super Spectacular #1 is where you’ll find the lion’s share. These oversized specials tend to be very inconsistent, but the creative teams at hand here are overwhelmingly strong so it’s no surprise there are more hits than misses. However,…
We’re in a transition phase with the current Catwoman series now that Joelle Jones has completed her nearly two year run, which means it’s now time for some filler issues! The truth is, sometimes these one-shots are more exciting than a longer run ever ends up being, but Catwoman #22 doesn’t take full advantage of…
In Robert Venditti’s arc, Reign of the Supermen, I had a good time - but it was clear that I was questioning the purpose of the story, and why Venditti was dedicating his time on one of DC’s biggest books to write out an ultimately harmless and superfluous story. I liked it fine, but the…
I know books have been shipping the last few weeks, but I finally feel like I’m back in the comics world with Batman Beyond #43. It’s nice to be in the weekly grind, much like how Terry is finally back in the Batman cowl and fighting crime in Neo Gotham. Jurgens knows what works in…
Time is quickly running out for the Titans. Last time we met with them their own time in the afterlife was running short as their bodies died in real life. Not only that but Elias has taken control of Djinn and her siblings, and Heaven as well. How are they going to get out of…
What… Just… Happened? I hope you’re ready, because this is going to be another review where I gush over the creative team and the book, because Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo are killing it on Suicide Squad! I mean it! This book has everything! This is easily the most fun, action-packed, in-continuity story hitting the…
Wrapping up a 7-year-long movie universe in only 90 minutes is a gargantuan task. There are bound to be missteps in the form of neglected characters, plot lines and a lot of shocking deaths that range from arbitrary to heartbreaking. But with a fast-paced storyline and great action to smooth over any rough edges, Justice…
This month’s issue of Red Hood continues the Outlaws their fight against the Untitled as they've secretly infected hundreds of people in Qurac and are now attacking the city. To complicate matters, Essence has possessed the body of Jason’s on and off girlfriend Isabel and doesn't seem to be on anyone's side! I’m going to…
The Quarantine Book Club articles that we’ve been doing have been great fun—and we’re definitely going to continue doing those!—but I’ve missed writing these regular reviews. Before we begin, a brief recap of Unkillables: a handful of villains and (anti-)heroes are forced to work together to ensure their own survival as well as that of a…
I think one of the most interesting parts about my job so far has been discovering the nuances of pacing in a comic book. Twenty pages is, realistically, not a lot of space for a story to flourish. How many novels have you read that are twenty pages long? While we’ve seen some DC creators…
It’s been a while since we’ve had a new issue of Harley Quinn but it’s here now, and a welcome distraction from everything going on. When last we met with Harley she was in Los Angeles hot on the trail of whoever killed her friend and wrestling partner, Alicia. To top things off, she’s managed…
Comics? On a Tuesday? It’s more likely than you think - and, apparently, the new norm for comic distribution at the moment. I’m going to have to check how my LCS in Australia is handling this, but this seems to be when reviews will be uploaded for the foreseeable future! It’s nice to get back…
Out of all of the titles that DC has chosen to release during this time period, I’m happy that Batman & the Outsiders is one of them! I’ve been singing this book’s praises for some time now, and I don’t feel as though it’s had the sales or support that it deserves. Hopefully, with little…
Batman is incredibly adaptable, both in-universe and out. And when it comes to merchandise, there's no shortage of unique takes on the base aesthetic of the character. Funko has produced a wide range of comic and film-faithful Batman POP!s, but the King of Vinyl has strayed from the source a few times, too, releasing some…
Batman first burst onto the scene in 1939's Detective Comics #27. 20 years later, Bill Finger and Sheldon Moldoff introduced the world to Bat-Mite, the extra-dimensional imp who would come to be known as the Dark Knight's biggest fan. Funko released a slew of Batman 80th Anniversary POP!s last year, and the company recently sent me…
