ALERT: This comes with Superman Beyond too! While there was originally a Justice League Beyond, Vol. 1 and a Superman Beyond, Vol. 1 sold separately, their second volumes have been lumped together in this collection that only bears the Justice League Beyond name! Contents Justice League Beyond: In Gods We Trust features all chapters of Justice…
"Batman Beyond: Batgirl Beyond" has the sound of an original graphic novel about an entirely new element of the Beyond Universe-- and perhaps that's what was intended-- but it's actually the 2nd volume of Batman Beyond Unlimited and the Batgirl Beyond portion is but a single chapter. And while it does seem kind of deceiving…
LATE REVIEW EDITION Attention Batgirl fans: Go buy this. Batman Beyond Unlimited #18 is well worth purchasing for the Batgirl Beyond story alone. It's fantastic. The Batman Beyond bit at the end is pretty forgettable, but this entire Undercloud arc has really been a disappointment and ended Adam Beechen's run with a whimper instead of…
Talk about not being new reader friendly! Issue #17 of Batman Beyond Unlimited features the final chapter in Superman Beyond and Justice League Beyond, period. And as for Batman Beyond itself, that's a penultimate chapter so basically if you haven't read a single issue of Batman Beyond Unlimited before you shouldn't buy this. If you…
Issue #18 of Batman Beyond Unlimited will feature a short story about a new Batgirl hitting the streets of "Neo-Gotham" but until we reach that point this is no longer something that new readers should dare go near. We've passed the event horizon on this thing. The stories being featured are all in their climax…
There was way, way, way, way, way too much going on in this story for me to follow it across 12+ months of all-too-brief Batman Beyond Unlimited issues and I'm sure many of you either got lost like I did or didn't even touch this thing until it came out in trade. Well, the wait…
10,000 Clowns has been released in 3 different stages: a few pages every week online, printed in the Beyond Unlimited anthology series for a few pages more once per month, and all together in this printed trade paperback. If you were patient enough to wait for the trade paperback (15 months), then you made the smart decision!…
JUMPING-ON POINT ALERT Batman Beyond and Justice League Beyond are starting brand new arcs with this issue. Superman Beyond, however is nearing the end of its epic outer space adventure. First I'll talk about the Superman story by Krul and Proter, which is by far the meatiest of the tales included here. Long ago, on a…
Not the usual cover is it? It's so dark and rather understated compared to the Batman Beyond Unlimited designs of the past and it would lead you to believe that this is a very heavy read. Well, in the case of Batman Beyond it actually is, but when it comes to Superman Beyond and Justice…
This issue starts off really strong and ends strong but I found everything in between to be rather lacking. I will say that now is probably going to be your best chance to jump on board this title if you never have before. Another opportunity like this won't come around for quite some time. Justice…
St. Louis still exists in the Beyond universe-- we made it! Ya know, that's two St. Louis references in Batman comics in this month alone. It's almost like they're pandering to me... Issue #12 is actually surprisingly accessible to new readers so if you've been curious about this series at any point, come aboard! The…
The issue starts off strong with a lengthy Batman Beyond episode. This story has been riveting the past few issues. Bruce is hospitalized, Jokerz are bombing every corner of Gotham, Dick and Tim are both out of retirement and helping Terry, Dana is in danger, and Catwoman and Vigilante have joined the fight as well…
I don't know how any fan of the whole DC Universe could look at this cover and not pick this comic up. How cool is that cover? I usually go for the simple covers that express what the comic is about in a minimalistic way but there's something very satisfying about seeing all of these…
It's just as thick as Batgirl's Annual that came out today only it's a dollar cheaper and has a lot more variety. The bad thing is that it's really, really unfriendly to new readers so I can't recommend that anyone unfamiliar with this series pick it up. Seriously, if you open this comic and flip…
The $#!% hits the fan in this issue. All of the stories collected in this series are reaching their big climax at the same time and while that doesn't bode well for new readers who will be confused by such a comic, the rest of you should be on the edge of your seat! Bruce…
Like I said last time, this series isn't new reader friendly, it’s not even consistent reader friendly, but I think it’ll be pretty damn fun when it comes out in a hardcover or trade paper back down the line–especially the Superman Beyond segments.
As soon as I started reading the first page of this book one thing became abundantly clear: this will be much, much better as a collected trade. Sure, the weekly digital crowd gets to read this book pretty frequently but for the rest of us who wait a month in between each issue it can…
We may have had 4 stories for the price of one last month, but this time around the book came to stores 1 week sooner and the number of Beyond-goodness was shortened to 3. Still, not a bad deal by a long shot. This time around there's a lot of focus on character origins and…
This has to be one of my favorite comics simply because I strongly believe comics are way overpriced and this is one that actually supplies plenty of content. It's three stories in one and even if one story is bad, usually the others pick up the slack. It's great and it's usually pretty fun. So…
There's a lot of value here. For $3.99 you aren't getting the typical 40 page book that's 32 pages of central story and then an 8-page backup. With "Batman Beyond Unlimited" this month you are buying three even stories that take place in the Beyond universe. That's a lot of bang for your buck, especially…
