2 on Get Metal with Funko's Red Death and Devastator POP!sFunko recently sent Batman News a rather huge box of goodies, and I've been having a blast photographing everything. Two of said goodies are Dark Nights: Metal POP!s for Red Death and Devastator. These are their stories. Red Death If the comments in our Comics section and around the web are any indication, Red Death has been…
The Elseworlds spawned a lot of interesting and/or crazy ideas. And even though the imprint is no longer a thing, the central concept of dropping DC's heroes into hypothetical, non-canonical scenarios lives on, in books like Batman: White Knight and others. Two of the most memorable Elseworlds tales are Red Rain, and Superman: Red Son, and Funko's got your…
A great big box of Funko goodness recently came to my door, and I'm working my way through it. Two of the choicest cuts in the box are the 1989 and 1997 Batman POP!s. For those of you ignorant of the cinematic history of the greatest fictional character on Earth, those years refer to Tim…
Captain Boomerang makes his glorious return to Suicide Squad, and I’ve never been happier to see him! The Story With the first mission out of the way, Tom Taylor turns the Squad’s attention to one of their former teammates, Captain Boomerang. Whenever Digger is around, you know things are bound to get interesting… Mainly because…
It’s not a secret that I’m not the greatest fan of this series. The Batman Who Laughs stuff didn’t resonate with me, and I also did not give issue #7—which started off the current arc—a favorable review. This issue, however, is definitely an improvement! Let’s have a look. Nick Derington is one powerhouse of an…
“Ugly Heart,” the story that’s currently unfolding in the pages of Detective Comics, started off strong in issue #1020. The detective work was entertaining, Two-Face was written and drawn really well, and overall it was a fine setup for the story proper. Usually I like to build some suspense asking whether or not the creative…
Batman Beyond #42 should be a slam-dunk for Dan Jurgens and Sean Chen. It brings the main cast back together, positions Terry’s return to being Batman, and puts Bruce Wayne face to face with Blight himself. Unfortunately, the script offers no surprises and leaves Chen without much to do other than go through the motions…
After discovering the Untitled are back and up to no good, Jason and the Outlaws are joined by General Glory as they go undercover in Quarac to get to the bottom of things. Jason and Bizzaro are now running a food truck and Artemis is a bodyguard to one of Quarac’s leaders, who’s in the…
After returning from Unearth with a newly healed Jason Bard, Batgirl discovers that people have begun to turn into metallic statues! With Bard at the scene of one of the victims, and strange goings on, it’s up to Batgirl to put a stop to all this. This issue of Batgirl is busy. Busy and confusing…
It all comes down to this: an epic showdown between Batman and Azrael—and one of them's going to get wrecked! Maybe both of them are going to get wrecked! Read the book! SPOILERS AHEAD Who is Batman? In my review of last month's penultimate issue of Curse of the White Knight (or maybe it was #6), I…
Batman: Creature of the Night took a long time to reach its conclusion, but it was worth waiting for. Delayed by health problems for both writer Kurt Busiek and artist John Paul Leon, the book's four issues released over a period of just about two years. The hardcover collecting the entire series hits comic shops…
It seems like many of my merchandise reviews begin the same way: me yakking about how excited I was when I saw something at Toy Fair. Nevertheless, at the risk of sounding repetitive... I was so excited when I saw Funko's POP! Town at Toy Fair... ...especially the Wayne Manor and Hall of Justice sets.…
It’s been a long journey to the point Hell Arisen #4 brings us to. With several miniseries, tie-in issues and crossovers galore, the main storyline of the DC Universe has been wrapped up in these machinations for a while now. With the weight of the world on its shoulders, it’s no surprise Hell Arisen #4…
Aha! You thought it was Josh reviewing this book, but it was me, Nick! I’ve been given the opportunity to review Batman’s biggest comic, and I have instantly let the power go to my head. Look forward to extensive plugs for my twitter, random non-sequiturs about how great The Last Jedi is, and- Okay, no.…
I wonder, how many of you guys play tabletop games? Dungeons and Dragons is, of course, the most popular of the bunch, though I’m also partial to Vampire: The Masquerade – if you can find a time to do it, they provide a fun mental exercise that puts you and a group of friends through…
I am not doing great. Last year, I had little going on in my life, and it was an endless source of frustration for someone just coming out of high school, and looking for direction. When I got this job, that was the first step to finding a routine I felt was both satisfying and…
The DCeased rollercoaster continues! Where the original DCeased story was cosmic in scope, Unkillables is much more grounded and street-level, featuring a great cast of characters. I really enjoyed the first issue of this 3-part miniseries, so I was looking forward to reading the second chapter. Does it match the first issue in terms of…
Nightwing #70, written by Dan Jurgens with pencils by Ryan Benjamin, clarifies a few muddy plot points from previous issues but without much elegance. Jurgens’ script falls into familiar pitfalls such as an abundance of recap and lack of agency for Dick himself. The stage has been set for Dick to fully reclaim his mantle…
With Elias storming the gates of Heaven, the Teen Titans are desperate to save Djinn and stop him. In order to do that they have to sneak into Purgatory, sending them off on one of the wildest adventures they’ve had so far! I’ve been enjoying this particular arc of Teen Titans quite a bit. The…
Batman: Universe is a book that I’m surprised it’s taken me this long to read. I remember being thrilled to discover that DC would be publishing the 100-page Walmart giants, and that a new serialized story would appear in each of them. But, other priorities won, and I wasn’t able to pick up any giant…
