I cannot describe to you all how excited I am that Once Upon a Crime is finally out. I adore Lil’ Gotham and the moment I heard that Derek Fridolfs and Dustin Nguyen were working on a new project I was sure it’d be great. Batman Tales: Once Upon a Crime contains four separate stories…
Now comes the end of one of my favorite Bat-titles, Batman: Li'l Gotham and I believe that Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs, its creators, gave it a wonderful send-off. Once again, the print issue features two stories in one. The first is a simple tale that's just played for laughs, but the second and final…
One of our favorite Batman titles comes to an end this week with the final print edition of Batman: Li'l Gotham. While this is the last issue, every chapter of Li'l Gotham stands on its own so don't be afraid to pick this one up even if you've never read a Li'l Gotham in your…
Batman: Li'l Gotham started out as a year-long Digital First series that would have one chapter a month devoted to whatever holiday was on the horizon. It featured vibrant water-colors, comedy that appealed to all ages, references to classic Batman stories from comics, film, and television (with emphasis on Batman: The Animated Series), and it…
Come celebrate All Saints' Day and Daylight Savings Time in the penultimate installment of Li'l Gotham, the all-ages book that longtime fans and little kids reading about the bat-family for the first time can both enjoy. Li'l Gotham has a formula down: have beautiful water colors with cute imagery and short-stories that are silly yet…
Rather than try to top last year's fantastic, cameo-laden Halloween special, issue #10 foregoes trick-or-treating for an Autumn themed episode starring Poison Ivy and a murder mystery lead by Damian Wayne. As always, Li'l Gotham is a lighthearted, all-ages comic with self-contained tales that can be enjoyed by anyone. Ivy in the Fall Derek Fridolfs…
A Dustin Nguyen illustrated cover that pays homage to the classic Jack Burnley cover from the 1940's AND a beloved Batman: The Animated Series episode? Come on. While it's worth picking up this $2.99 comic for that cover alone, you're also in store for what I think is the best issue of Batman: Li'l Gotham yet!…
Here is Batman News' exclusive preview of Batman: Li'l Gotham #9, which will be available in comic shops everywhere this Wednesday! It's a great comic for kids of all ages and this issue in particular looks like a must-read for fans of Batman: The Animated Series and those folks who have experienced the hassles that…
Thanksgiving is just around the corner and you know what that means! It's time for a new chapter in Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs' holiday-themed Batman: Li'l Gotham! The upcoming issue will be available digitally this Sunday for only 99 cents on the DC Comics App and we have your first look right here along with…
While Li'l Gotham is well-known for its holiday specials, this month's issue doesn't celebrate any festival, feast day, or birthday whatsoever. Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs try something different by giving Batman a vacation. In the first of two stories collected in this comic, we see an exhausted Bruce return to the cave where he…
It might be October for us, but Li'l Gotham is celebrating the holidays of June and July in this issue and it's just as adorable as you'd expect it to be. Minazuki What's Minazuki? It's June. Apparently there weren't any good holidays in this summer month so creators Derek Fridolfs and Dustin Nguyen just went…
The latest issue of little Gotham has a parental theme with both a Mother's Day and Father's DAy special packed into one $2.99 issue that's sure to please both kids and adults with its comedy as well as its sentimentality. And, as usual, the watercolors by Dustin Nguyen are just as adorable as ever and…
This isn't just a fun comic book for kids and older comic fans that are young-at-heart, it's a great way to see new stories featuring elements that were lost in the New 52. The list goes on and on, really. It's as if Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs have been given free rein to pick…
Always a good one for the kids an usually an enjoyable read for the grown-ups too, Li'l Gotham is back again and this time the holiday theme is St. Patrick's Day and Easter. St. Patrick's Day This one has a an unusually high character count for being such a green-themed holiday. There's even a surprise…
Well, this is the last time I'll get to take the easy way out with my Li'l Gotham Reviews. When the series first came out digitally I was reviewing each and every one but when it was announced that it would go to print I put the kibosh on all that and decided to wait…
Issue #2 of Li'l Gotham collects the digital-first Christmas and New Year's Eve specials. I enjoyed both of these and reviewed them earlier this year when they were originally released on comixology for a dollar a piece. So, yes, you're actually paying a buck more for the print version but I find it more satisfying…
The popular digital-first series finally comes to print and it's a must-have for kids! Issue #1 collects the first and second digital installments that I reviewed several months ago when they were originally released online at comixology. If you already bought these for a dollar a piece for your electronic device then I still recommend…
Li'l Gotham has expanded to two issues a month and while we've already seen a Valentine's Day adventure this week we get a rather unexpected Lunar New Year episode. Very little attention is given to this holiday, however, but the story does maintain an Asian theme as Damian Wayne teams up with Katana in Gotham's…
It's not as uneventful as the Thanksgiving special, but I found Li'l Gotham #5 to be quite skippable as a Holiday Special. In case you forgot, this Thursday is Valentine's Day and like the previous 4 holidays we get a fun, chibi-style Batman story available online to help us celebrate. The story this time around…
Li'l Gotham #4 is definitely different from the other issues we've seen so far. Not only is the artwork more detailed, but it's also wordier and, oh yeah, it's all girls! If you're a fan of Dini's Gotham City Sirens or maybe you just loved the Harley and Ivy episodes of Batman: The Animated Series…
