14 on Dark Crisis #3 reviewI'd like to begin this review by asking who enjoys this book, and why. It's not like I think Dark Crisis could not possibly have fans. In fact, I envy those who are fans of this book - I'd love to find joy in this event, to be invested in the characters to the point where…
This month, Tom King’s latest mini-series wraps up with issue #6 of Batman: Killing Time. With last month’s reveal of Clock King stepping in to claim the eye everyone has spent the past five issues trying to claim, just what answers will he have for us now? This month it’s just me reviewing the title,…
It's hard to write an opening for something related to Batman: The Animated Series, because everyone knows it, everyone loves it, and I can only share my own personal anecdotes so many times before I become "repetitive" or something. I don't know. Anyway, McFarlane have a bunch of great action figures, and have started producing…
Detective Comics #1062 is the opening act of Ram V’s time on the book. Promising operatic darkness, and a new enticing mystery this arc –and run– is sure to be an interesting one. I’m delighted to get a chance to review it, as Ram V is one of my favorite writers at DC right now.…
Gargantuan adventures now await the DC Universe in the first issue of DC: Mech #1. The new story stands on the shoulders of it's predecessors like Supeman/Batman: Public Enemies, Batman Unlimited: Mechs Vs. Monsters, Fleisher's The Mechanical Monsters, and more. The anime inspired series is set in Kenny Porter and Baldemar Rivas' mechanized alternate universe.…
Several new Bat-books will be joining the already thick roster of Batman titles, and that's without including Harley Quinn. There seems to be as many ways to approach Batman as there are ways to skin a cat. Somehow, much like asking for someone to expound actual cat skinning, the more we ask the less okay with…
Alan Grant is a favorite among us all here at Batman News. With his passing, we wanted to talk a bit about our favorite Grant penned Batman stories. I think I speak for my fellow reviewers when I say, almost every Batman comic written by Grant are good. The vast majority are, in fact, great.…
Dinosaurs and superheroes, two species separated by 65 million years of evolution, have just been suddenly thrown back in the mix together. How can we possibly have the slightest idea of what to expect? I'll tell you how. Jurassic League has been straight bangers since issue #1. Issue #3 does not disappoint. Wow, I can't believe…
Catwoman #45 brings the Bat family into the series in a major way with mixed results. While Selina and Bruce’s on again off again relationship has never truly left the series, here Tim, Stephanie, Cassandra, and even Dick Grayson all make appearances. These interactions inject some nuance into Selina’s current headspace, but the narrative stumbles…
You guys ever just read an issue of a comic and remember why you started reading that book in the first place? That was me with Urban Legends #17. This book is nothing but pure, wacky team-up fun, and I LOVE it. It might be because I've been watching a lot of Brave and the Bold recently, but I…
[Review is currently without visual aid; images will be added as soon as possible.] "The plot thickens!" If you think about it, the phrase is kind of amusing. I've heard it so many times that I've never really taken the time to decipher the meaning of it, but it's a particularly interesting choice of words.…
After a one month break The Joker is back to wrap up the series with its final issue. We left off last time with Batman staring down Jim Gordon asking the same question most readers probably were: What happened to the Joker? This issue promises to tell us that, and more. The final issue of…
Five issues in and I know Killing Time is going to be a book I’ll genuinely enjoy re-reading once it’s complete. As much as I go back and forth on the little things that aren’t perfect about this series, I have to admit that I like it. I like it quite a bit. This issue…
With the Shadow War done and wrapped, Damian has found himself reunited with his parents, and back in Gotham. Now that he’s patched things up with Bruce, will he stick around, or continue pushing forward to find himself? And just what lies in store for Talia now that she's turned herself in to the authorities?…
Over the past two issues of this arc we’ve seen the Riddler weave riddles over the airwaves and Gotham citizens committing crimes without a solid reason. Tied with it all, is the mystery of Judge Donovon and the first of these crimes: the bombing of her courtroom. With the arc wrapping up, will Batman finally…
Batman/Catwoman #12 delivers a satisfying conclusion for readers of this series as well as Tom King’s actual Batman run. It will not win over new readers or those who weren’t fans of King’s Batman to begin with, but for those still reading this often delayed series the final moments should prove heartwarming. Right off the…
It was about 1am in the morning when I got on a call with Ram V: 2022 Eisner Award nominee and upcoming writer of DC’s seminal publication, Detective Comics. Work was in a few hours, and I resolved to try to keep the interview as quiet as possible, lest I wake my housemates up through…
Empire State of Mind (More like Empire State of Mild, heyo!) reaches its conclusion - and I'm as thoroughly whelmed as ever! Not much else to say, so let's just get into it. With Manray slaughtering his way across the elites of New York City, the mayor is the next on his hitlist. It's up…
Question for you readers at home. What's better than the Justice League but instead of people they're dinosaurs? Trick question. It's absolutely nothing. Anyone who answered anything other than absolutely nothing is wrong and hates fun. Okay, okay. I'm kidding. Kind of. Not really. But kind of. I will not stop fanboying over this book…
This week's issue of Urban Legends wraps up all of our ongoing stories so far. This series has been a little rocky since its inception, but I think this particular issue is an extremely satisfying one considering the amount of middle-of-the-story fragments we've had so far. Batman and Zatanna in "Bound to Our Will: Part 6" …
