1 on Batman Beyond: Neo-Year #2 reviewThe previous issue (and a half) of Batman Beyond: Neo-Year spent a lot of time setting up the stakes of Terry's new situation with Bruce dead and the city out to get him. It was a new direction to take the character, which made me curious to see how everything else would play out. Unfortunately…
Welcome back to the future. Batman Beyond: Neo-Year is a new six-issue miniseries that spins out of Batman: Urban Legends #7, where the entire world of Terry McGinnis and his home of Neo Gotham was shaken up. Bruce Wayne died, Wayne Manor burned to the ground, and the entire city became sentient and set its…
This coming April, DC Comics invite you to go back to the future in Batman Beyond: Neo-Year. The six-issue miniseries spins out of Batman: Urban Legends #7, where the entire world of Terry McGinnis and his home of Neo Gotham was shaken up. Bruce Wayne died, Wayne Manor burned to the ground, and the entire…
Batman Beyond #50 is a decent conclusion for Dan Jurgens’ largely impressive run. Much of that credit goes to the regular art team of Sean Chen, Sean Parsons, Chris Sotomayor, and Travis Lanham who are tasked with equal parts action and lower key dramatic scenes. Additionally, Jurgens’ script mostly returns to the series’ initial roots…
Batman Beyond #49 doesn’t reinvent the wheel when it comes to time travel plotlines and while my hopes for a more in depth examination into Terry’s relationship with his father and Bruce weren’t fully realized, this month’s issue still delivers a mostly satisfying ending for this two-part story. There’s an endearing throwback vibe for this…
Batman Beyond #48 is pure comic book fun. Dan Jurgens does lean away from the series’ strong ensemble cast for another “altered memories” plot line, but this time the story is set to dive deeper into Terry and Bruce’s relationship. Paul Pelletier is on art duties and turns in solid work that does more than…
The recent DC solicitations for December announced that Dan Jurgens’ Batman Beyond will end with issue #50. With that knowledge in hand, Batman Beyond #47 feels a little out of the series’ normal wheelhouse. Our heroes are far away from Neo-Gotham and find themselves in space trying to take out a dangerous space station run…
It’s safe to say Dan Jurgens’ Batman Beyond is back on track. Any hint of Terry’s amnesia is long gone, Elainna is fully situated as Batwoman, and the book has regained an ensemble cast which Jurgens thrives with in the Beyond universe. Batman Beyond #46 keeps that momentum going with excellent character dynamics, fantastic art,…
After two months of basically non-stop action, Batman Beyond #45 smartly slows things down a bit and takes its time to properly set up the arc’s stakes and character motivations. While the last two issues were entertaining, Dan Jurgens’ script and character dynamics take a noticeable bump up in clarity and engagement. Also different is…
Batman Beyond #44 is the biggest burst of energy the series has had in a while. Dan Jurgens’ script sheds itself of any mystery and places all of the cards on the table. For too long the series struggled to maintain any sense of momentum due to characters infighting, having amnesia, or keeping their identity…
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…
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…
Batman Beyond #41 is the best issue of Dan Jurgens’ amnesiac Terry plotline that began back with the False Face arc. Sean Chen’s pencils, with inks by Sean Parsons, up their game as the arc nears its conclusion, with Jurgens’ script ramping up the stakes to their breaking point. With the entire cast slowly making…
If it weren’t so similar to previous issues, Batman Beyond #40 would more successfully set a course for the series to proceed. Ever since Batwoman’s introduction, Jurgens’ scripts follow a very similar template. Batwoman saves the day in some inconsequential set piece, Bruce and Matt stand around clueless to her identity, and Blight makes a…
Much to its benefit, Dan Jurgens’ Batman Beyond usually features a consistent art team on each arc. While not every artist featured in the series has been equal in talent, the consistency gives a steady identity to the series, at least in five to six issue chunks. However, in Batman Beyond #39, Inaki Miranda takes…
The new Batwoman takes center stage in Batman Beyond #38 as she tears across Gotham leaving Bruce and Matt McGinnis playing catch up. While the issue finally brings together some plot threads, writer Dan Jurgens finds himself wrapped up in a repetitive plot structure with readers being one step ahead of our lead characters once…
Dan Jurgens’ Batman Beyond is in a transitional state after the previous arc has left Terry with amnesia and has introduced a mystery newcomer who’s taking over the Batman mantle. Although the series is nearing forty issues, most of the run has succeeded primarily due to the likable and well defined ensemble cast Jurgens established.…
Batman Beyond #36 concludes what is definitely the weakest arc in Dan Jurgens’ otherwise very solid run. Even at the series’ lowest point, Jurgens manages to put together a narrative that works despite questionable art that nonetheless gets the job done. This is a functional comic book and that isn’t meant to be a flippant…
I’ve been reading and watching a lot of Batman Beyond the last few weeks to re-familiarize myself with the world and its characters. In doing so, I’ve fallen back in love with all that the Beyond universe has to offer both Batman fans and those interested in more cyberpunk themes such as the danger of…
In part two of ‘The Final Joke,’ our heroes deal with the repercussions of the explosion in issue #25 and the equally explosive news that the Joker has returned. Though the issue is mostly non-essential to the unfolding plot, it’s an action-packed read featuring the dynamic artwork of Brett Booth! In fact, most of the…
