0 on DC: Mech #5 reviewGreen Lantern pilots Hal Jordan and John Stewart prepare with Wally West to deliver Apokolips their first offensive blow. As the heroes commit to their sacrifice, the rest of the earth puts their faith in whatever Luthor has been working on. DC: Mech #3 is mostly a Green Lantern story. As previously mentioned, John and…
After a pretty solid first issue, and a REALLY solid month of playing this game, this series is back with its second installment, and it's great! I've been really impressed with this series so far, both the game and the comic have been way better than I think anyone was expecting. I don't want to…
Alexis Kaye is still figuring out what she is capable of. In the second issue of Punchline: The Gotham Game, Punchline makes her play for the docks owned by the Yakuza. The consequence of living so dangerously puts Punchline in direct conflict with Eiko Hasigawa, Catwoman, and Batman himself. As promised, Punchline does her best…
This month we return to Detective Comics as it picks up in another movement--strain--scene? Of Gotham Overture, this time titled: Something in the Way. It’s been a while since I took a music class, and we never studied operas, so forgive my spotty memory on how best to turn the titles of this series into…
Catwoman #49 is the best issue in the series to come out in a while with its solid balance of well executed action sequences and a more nuanced depiction of Selina’s current love life. While the overarching narrative continues to be muddy at best, Tini Howard’s script gives Selina her clearest sense of purpose in…
After a particularly rocky first encounter with the One Bad Day series, I wasn't exactly hopeful for this issue. Admittedly, it's set during what might be my favorite era of Batman, starring Robin prominently, with one of my all time favorite Bat-villains as its antagonist (though that definitely didn't save Riddler), so I had no choice…
Sorry, I will be your substitute reviewer until Nic returns! DC Comics expects readers to regard Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths as a significant story. It certainly has all the trappings of a major crisis event. Its pages tout large scale battles with heroes, villains, impossible machines, and other multiversal shenanigans. Even so, why does…
Ever since Batman Inc. returned, someone has been hunting down each one of Batman and Ghost-Maker's former teachers! While the evidence points a finger at Ghost-Maker, several other suspicious players begin to make their moves. The Man He Used To Be Ed Brisson makes use of Ghost-Maker's newly fleshed out backstory in Chip Zdarsky's Batman:…
We're back again this week with more of your favorite anthology series, and it's a great issue, folks! There's some really creative stories this time around, and I don't want to waste too much time up here, so let's jump right in! The Wheelman of Gotham The initial installment of this incredible issue follows Batman…
Batman vs. Robin #3 runs like clockwork, efficiently setting up an easy to track sequence of events that deliver fun action while also digging into the core dynamics of the Bat family. Art duties are split between Mahmud Asrar and Scott Godlewski, who both turn in solid work without a noticeable shift in quality. However,…
Welcome back, readers! In our last adventure, the illegitimate scion of King Scimitar sold out the Batman after a salacious sword heist. Strangely, the shadowy stalkers wanted to negotiate with our hero, rather than attempt to fight. As the Dark Knight stares down the menacing masked assailants, they share the mysterious truth behind their mission.…
Gotham Knights has been out for about a week ago, and I gotta say- I'm having a blast. The story is heartfelt and interesting, the characters, while a little different than their comic book counterparts, are well-written and heartfelt, and the gameplay, while definitely a big change from the Arkham series, holds its own and…
Perhaps we've never truly understood the real Alexis Kaye. From first appearance and beyond, Joker's so-called Punchline has stirred-up a lot of ire. Her actions put her in the center of Gotham City's trial of the century, but her victory rose her to greater infamy. Now free, Tini and Blake Howard (Catwoman, Batman: Urban Legends)…
So, how many of our readers are D&D players? There's a certain feeling one gains the more familiar you become with the game - though this applies to any tabletop, really. The more you immerse yourself in the world you've been transported into, the more invested you become in your character you've made. Eventually, whether…
This month the action really picks up in Detective Comics as Batman races to deal with the attack on the Orgham family. The fun doesn’t stop there as old faces from this run show up again, in new and surprising ways. I’m really enjoying this run of Detective Comics by Ram V. It’s ticking away…
Little known fact about me: The Penguin is one of my favourite Batman villains! I don't talk about it much, because I haven't really had much of a chance to review comics with him. He's second to Joker, if only because I'm a basic bitch - but there's a lot to love about this guy.…
Hey there, Bat Fans! For those of you who didn’t know, I went to NYCC earlier this month, and it was incredible. Nick and Casper tagged along, which was super fun (more on that here), and I’m looking forward to doing it again next year! While I was there, I was lucky enough to get…
In the last chapter of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' seminal Watchmen, there is one final conversation between two of its main characters: Ozymandias, the world's smartest man, and Doctor Manhattan, the world's only true superhuman. Before the sequels, the prequels and the crossovers with the DC Universe, this was the last word on these…
The story of Alexis Kaye is far from innocent. Not that she would ever admit it! First appearing in the early stages of James Tynion IV's Joker War event spun out of Batman #89, Punchline would join several new characters like Ghost-Maker, The Designer, Miracle Molly, and more in populating the new Gotham. Once a…
Urban Legends is consistently one of the best books I have the pleasure of reviewing. Especially with the last few, we've been given nothing but banger after banger stories, and there's ZERO signs of slowing down here. In fact, I'm so excited about these, I can't think of a proper intro. Let's jump in. Castle Arkham: On…
