1 on The Question: All Along The Watchtower #3 reviewRenee Montoya is struggling with her self-esteem, and her relationship with Kate is on the rocks. So just another day for her. Can she fight her inner demons as well as those on the Watchtower? The key to a good detective story is often stated to be one in which the reader also has access…
Well, well, well. Here we are at the halfway point of the sequel to a series that I don’t know if anyone asked for, but we’re getting anyway. And hey, the first DC vs Vampires underwent a drastic shift after its 6th issue, so can we expect something similar in World War V? So last…
All hell has broken out at Arkham Tower where Memento has struck once again. Batman was in the middle of interrogating Scarecrow about his potential connection to the mysterious villain, and now he has to fight his way out of all the hysteria. Meanwhile, Robin is still questioning if he should continue crime fighting or…
This series has already shown Bruce's inciting moment of Thomas Wayne's death, but there's a long way between that and the Batman we see in first issue. With no billionaire trust fund to allow for globetrotting training or high end gadgets, he can't rely on the traditional origin fans have become familiar with for the…
After a brief diversion last month focusing on Batman's investigation to exonerate Jim Gordon, the story now returns to the larger plot concerning Riddler's attempts to buy Wayne Enterprises along with the political unrest facing Gotham. Heading into the issue, there are a lot of seemingly disconnected threads that need to be tied together. Bruce…
New year. New Batgirl issue. When we last left Batgirl, she and her mother, Lady Shiva, were ambushed by the mysterious monk-warriors, the Unburied, led by their leader Kalden. Cassandra and her mother narrowly escaped the assault, but Cassandra’s friends were not so lucky. Now, in full retreat mode on a train, Batgirl and Lady…
Two-Face is the amazing first solo series for the long time Batman villain of the same name. In the first issue, Harvey's been back in a lawyer role in his underground courtroom, "The White Church." In this issue, Harvey serves the defense in a piping hot infidelity case! However, with the introduction of inculpatory evidence,…
So, this wasn’t on the docket. But after reading it, I asked if I could review it because I think this comic is a good example of what horror can be like in this form of entertainment, having been crafted by people with a proven track record in this industry. And hey, the first story…
Batman has been shot on Christmas. He must have received some coal from jolly old Saint Nick. After confronting Mario Falcone for his suspected involvement with the kidnapping of Commissioner Gordon’s son, Batman has been severely wounded and on the verge of death. The Last Halloween #4 deals with the immediate aftermath and follows Robin…
Finally, it ends having convinced me anthologies are less of a place to show new and innovative stories and instead a place where half-baked ideas and filler issues tend to reign far more. With that damning indictment, let’s get into the last issue of The Brave and the Bold. The Price Ty Templeton, best known…
Sometimes, you need to reread a comic. I’m man enough to admit when I’m wrong, and while I do feel this version of the League sacrifices a bit of individual identity by having an “unlimited” roster, it has managed to balance its cast extremely well so far. Issue 2 only dedicates a single page to…
I love detective stories. You'd think that a series called Detective Comics would consistently be one of my favorites for scratching that itch. And yet, surprisingly few runs on the title actually focus on detective work. Even some of my all time favorites just treat it as "the other Batman comic". Taylor at the very…
Creeping back into the limelight is the past due third issue of Batman: Gargoyle Of Gotham. As a reminder, the series follows the caped crusader as he battles sadistic killers and economic inequality. Incidentally, this version of Bruce Wayne has tired of his double life and wishes to kill his wealthy persona. Which, honestly seems…
So Selina’s on the run from her past (again)? Can she overcome the bounty placed on her head by the “bad guys” out to get her? Eh, it's probably a matter of when, not if. Anyway, let’s get into part 3 of this story… Part 1? So, the previous issue was an inconclusive end to…
The ice-cold follow up to Dark Knights of Steel finally reaches a conclusion. In a nutshell, the heroes put aside their differences to undo a horrific mistake. With murder, of course. Nonetheless, the series seems to wrap up with an explosive, albeit rushed final battle against a heartbroken magus. Let's discuss the end of Allwinter…
These intermission issues are very often my favorite stories in World's Finest. To this day my personal highlight of the run would have to be issue #12 where Robin and Supergirl go on a date that goes horribly. The reason they work so well (when they do) is that they allow for a breather from…
Look, this is the part where I rant about how badly the delays have been hurting this series, forcing me to look up previous issues multiple times to remember who most of these characters were outside of Batman and Alfred. But at this point, everybody knows about the delays, and most people are probably going…
Have you ever had the feeling that DC owns a character who is popular among a decent chunk of their fanbase but has no idea what to do with them (insert Tim Drake fan joke here)? And as such are desperate to try anything in the hopes that something works (repeat the previous joke). Yeah,…
Chapter three of Dan Watter's run of Nightwing is finally here! Previously, the Teddy gang found themselves framed and the targets of the upgraded Blüdhaven police force. After the death of one of their young members, Nightwing decides to intervene before things get worse. Somehow, Olivia Pearce and Helios end up playing the city, the…
Can something be both dumb and cool at the same time? Can its "dumbness" make it cooler? It's a question that Scott Snyder has been toying with for the past decade with Batman, and has become a reoccurring theme throughout his work on the character. Batman is arguably a brand just as much as a…
