9 on Detective Comics #1007 reviewDetective Comics #1006 was one of the best Batman comics I've read this year, a supernatural mystery with timeless artwork that had a stunning, moody aesthetic. I loved the writing, I loved the mystery, and yes, I absolutely adored Kyle Hotz's pencils and David Baron's colors. It was a comic that could have worked no…
Who is Leviathan? With secret organizations—good and evil—beaten, Batman closes in on his chief suspect. Is he right about Jason Todd? Is Batgirl still alive? Will DC revive that old 900-number and give us a chance to decide Jason's fate on our own? Find out (some of these things) in Event Leviathan #2. Now that's more…
Jason Todd’s latest journey is at its end. His secret prisoner is no longer secret, his latest band of outlaws is just about disbanded, and there’s a major line-wide crossover event that necessitates a shift in direction. See the bow tying up the Red Hood’s journey from ‘Merica to the Iceberg Lounge, in Red Hood:…
There's just something about a good old rollicking adventure. That's part of the appeal of movies like The Treasure of the Sierra Madre or Raiders of the Lost Ark, with their high-stakes chases, exotic locations, stalwart heroes, and conniving villains. Rather than trying to say something about the human condition or exploring the psyche of…
Mezco's One:12 Collective features some of the finest superhero action figures on the market. No, they aren't cheap; but when you consider what you get for the price, they aren't disproportionately expensive—especially when compared to something in the DC Multiverse or Marvel Legends lines. I already reviewed the "Onyx Edition" of Mezco's Sovereign Knight Batman…
When I say "Superhero Furniture," I can predict with pretty good accuracy what images pop into your head; lumpy, silly furniture designed for kids. Spider-Man bean bags, Superman pillows, Wonder Woman sheets. We might love that stuff, but for many of us it's more suited to our sons, daughters, nieces and nephews who are still…
This issue might be titled “Terrible: Finale,” but it is anything but as Mairghread Scott makes the most of what she was given to deliver a satisfying conclusion! I’ve made it quite clear that I’m sad to see Mairghread Scott leave Batgirl. I feel as though she’s done some of the best work with Barbara…
Harley has been successfully completing trials for the Lords of Order and Chaos, but that storyline gets interrupted this month because of the “Year of the Villain” event, but more on that later. This issue isn’t particularly great, but there are moments here that are really well-written and well-drawn. And though I had trouble keeping…
So far DCeased has been a fun book. Taylor has done a great job setting up the story in the first two issues, and even though I have been somewhat critical of certain aspects, I think it’s been a solid book for the most part. Last issue we left off with an exciting cliffhanger, where…
The fight to save the multiverse continues! Most of the Justice League is off gathering reinforcements, but J’onn J’onzz is in the clutches of a villain so sinister, you won’t believe it—unless you DO believe it, in which case, you don’t not believe it—if you can believe that! Credit where it’s due I’ve been nothing…
We’ve reached the halfway point of Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, and what a ride it’s been. This story is just barreling along, with a pace that’s surprisingly fast considering how potentially big it could get. A lot of that comes from the crazy mashups and surprising characters who’ve made appearances, both of which cover…
I’ve had my eye on the YuMe DZNR Series Batman plush since we saw them at Toy Fair, and they’re finally here. I had never heard of YuMe prior to the press contact leading up to Toy Fair, but their focus on a Batman-centric line caught my interest, so I scheduled an appointment to see what…
It took a while for the finale of Batman: Damned to come out, but it’s here at last. Elena reviewed issues #1 and #2, but since she’s, unfortunately, no longer on the Batman-News review team, I’m reviewing this third issue to wrap up the run. And by the way, we are still looking for new…
If a cover alone made the purchase of a comic worth it, then Detective Comics #1006 would certainly apply. Just look at the composition of that amazing cover: the Spectre, looming large against the Gotham City skyline, the Batsignal projected on his chest, and Batman himself below, on his guard against the physical embodiment of…
Welcome back to the misadventures of Ric “I’m not a hero but let me go save people” Grayson. I will admit that this is one of the better issues of this run – or maybe I’m just getting used to this mess – but it’s still not great. Before you jump into my review… Do…
I’m shuffling through an abundance of opinions trying to determine the best way to speak to this issue, and I honestly don’t know where to start. I mean, we actually get some plot progression, but everything else is just so… “Tom King Batman” that I genuinely hate this issue. Oh yeah, I said hate. Get…
Things on Earth are trending NASTY. Lex Luthor planted a seed of doom in the hearts of mankind, and it's up to the Justice League—and a few faraway friends—to fight back. Will it be enough? The confrontation with Perpetua grows nearer, in Justice League #26. It's alright Most of Justice League #26 feels disposable. That doesn't necessarily…
We're short-handed around here. Want to be a comic book reviewer? Think you can handle the rock'n roll lifestyle? Go HERE and put your name into the hat. This week in This Week in Comics, I (Hi, I'm Andrew, I used to do all the reviews all by myself for two years straight, one or…
Diamond Select's Gallery line is usually an amazing value for the $45-$50 retail price. I've had quite a lot of them, and with a few exceptions, I've always felt like you were getting a lot more than what you paid for—if only in terms of expectations. But their GameStop-exclusive Gallery pieces have been a cut…
Bryan Hill delivers the second chapter of Batman & the Outsiders, and while this issue is action-packed and high energy, it’s not as good as the debut. Is this a problem with the book itself, or an unfortunate symptom from DC’s delays and mandates? Find out my take below. If you didn’t check out Batman…
