9 on Red Hood: Outlaw #34 reviewJason Todd, respectable casino owner and businessman. Evidently, some people in Gotham believe it, but the rest of us, we know the truth. With Cobblepot still in captivity, the Red Hood sets off for a foreign destination to further monkey with the Penguin's professional partnerships. But things aren't all peachy at the Iceberg, there's been…
Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale is the latest release from DC Comics’ DC Ink imprint, aimed at young adult readers. It is a difficult book. For one, it is difficult due to the hard, heavy subject matter, which includes domestic abuse, self-harm, and child runaways. Those subjects are not easy to read, and they…
Video courtesy of my site Comics Now. Used with permission. After looking curiously at Mezco's One:12 Collective for the past several years, I finally took the plunge last fall and preordered one. Then I preordered another. Then I bought a monkey. And now... Darkseid is We saw Darkseid at Toy Fair, and I've been intrigued since he…
Harley Quinn is huge. I'm sure I've used this joke before, but you can't throw a crowbar at a comic convention without hitting at least six Harley cosplayers. And with being huge comes merchandise, and Diamond Select Toys has put out quite a few Harley collectibles in recent years. Some of them, I've been absolutely…
Reviews and the discussions they inspire are a big part of why readers visit the Batman News comics section. So an article in which all of our reviewers engage in a discussion about that week’s titles? Why, you’d think it’s a no-brainer! And yet it took several years for the idea to cross our minds……
DC released their Year of the Villain Special #1 and when the one-shot was announced, I was really excited. But then, when I started thinking about the story and what it was supposed to be setting up, I realized that all of these stories were already being published. We’re already getting Perpetua, the Legion of…
Harley has been completing a series of trials for the Lords of Chaos and Order to become their Angel of Retribution. After completing the third trial, she decides to go to Gotham with her buddy Tina to visit Catwoman. The story opens with the three of them hanging out in Catwoman’s apartment, playing a tabletop…
When DCeased was first announced I wasn’t incredibly excited, but I also wasn’t opposed to the idea. Of course the concept of a zombie apocalypse taking place in a superhero universe isn’t anything new—both Marvel Zombies (which I never read but I know it exists) and Blackest Night come to mind. I enjoyed Blackest Night…
The first Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover that began back in 2015 was an absolute delight. It had some strong writing and great character work from James Tynion IV, absolutely stunning art from Freddie Williams II, Jeremy Colwell, and Tom Napolitano, and a deliciously bonkers plot that had Bane transform into an elephant. It was…
So… This concept of progressing a story… I’d love to see it happen at some point… This issue doesn’t really offer us anything more than, “Batman wakes up, makes threats to Bane, and punches people as he walks out of Arkham Asylum.” So, not only does it not give us anything new, but it’s executed…
Up, up, and away! Superman attempts to escape his lonely prison planet, but the grass isn't really any greener on...FUTURE APOKOLIPS! The League is caught in straits most dire, and their greatest mind—the Dark Knight himself—seems poised to betray their ideals. What the heck is up with that? I mean, really? Find out—maybe—in Justice League #23. SPOILERS…
Video courtesy of my site, Comics Now. Used with permission (duh). Diamond Select's Gallery line is a great value at $45. At that price, it's tough to find too much to complain about. The sculpts are always excellent, and I usually have a "I can't believe it's plastic" feeling after looking at them. The paint is decent,…

Injustice 2 has been out for a while now, but as things usually go, new merchandise continues to trickle out. After producing some dynamite Vinimates based on the game (including an amazing Black Manta), Diamond Select Toys is back at it with two GameStop-exclusive Gallery statues. Look for my review of Batman in the coming…
Last month I complained that Tom King wasn’t providing any plot progression. That’s definitely not the case here. This month, Heroes in Crisis delivers a lot of information. I’m talking a huge info dump. One big, steaming pile of exposition that’s dropped right into your lap, and all I want to know is… What’s the…
Detective Comics #1002 is perfectly fine. It's a textbook example of an entertaining read, with a tense action scene standing out as a particularly effective moment. There are some good lines, the art is strong, and it moves the plot along. Which is all great, don't get me wrong. The biggest problem, if you can…
In Batgirl #34, a new story arc begins. Its called ‘Terrible,’ which I’m glad to say does not describe the quality of the issue. Of course, the title in question pertains to the return of The Terrible Trio, a triumvirate of animal-themed Batman villains that first debuted in 1958, but haven’t enjoyed the popularity or…
If a cluttered desk is the sign of a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign? This quote, attributed to Albert Einstein, is an almost tongue-in-cheek way to begin the forward for Masters of Comics. The new book from Insight Comics shines a light on over twenty different comic book artists,…

Your enjoyment of this issue will depend on your stance with a number of things involving Nightwing at the moment. Despite your stance though, you can’t deny that Dan Jurgens brings a much better aesthetic to the table than previous writers. That, alone, deserves to be recognized. DC is continuing to run with this Ric…
