8 on Flashpoint Beyond #2 reviewAlright, credit where it's due: this issue was great! No disclaimer, no "if"s or "but"s, no overarching concerns - I just straight up had a good time with this book, and I'm glad that I did. Let's get right to it and jump into this review! This issue, Thomas is searching for more clues as…
You know, it's funny. I've spent so much time discussing Dark Crisis in my reviews leading up to it... that by the time the event has actually arrived, I feel like I have nothing more to say. I think the book's content - or lack thereof - speaks for itself. Dark Crisis #1 sets the stage…
Shadow War Omega #1 brings the Shadow War crossover event to a surprisingly shocking close. After a decent reveal of the big bad, the final issue allows room for a villain monologue, final battle, and subsequent consequences. While I’m sure no one saw the identity of the fake Deathstroke coming, I admit the signs were…
Picking up from where we left off, Harley has a vicious confrontation with Bruce, where we get some of the backstory revealed. It seems that Bruce and Harley were married so that Harley could prevent Bruce’s sentence from being extended via “spousal privilege.” Bruce agreed to this under pressure, but then threw Harley under the…
Shadow War is well on its way to wrapping up, and Robin is a major factor in that. This issue continues the event directly after Deathstroke Inc #9 and if you haven’t read that yet, go check it out then come back here. I wish I could say this book feels like more of a…
This issue Batman’s latest mystery deepens as the Riddler’s questions fill the airwaves, and citizens all around Gotham continue to commit crimes for no apparent reason. With a few more crimes, and more unanswered questions, will Batman figure this one out, or be left floundering? The story opens on Bruce and Judge Donoven having dinner…
"Sometimes, less is more." That's the phrase that kept repeating in my head as I read I Am Batman #9 - and indeed, issues #7 and #8. While I went into this new arc with excitement, all three of these issues have brought the same problem with them that the book had before: try as I…
This book is about the Justice League if they were dinosaurs. That's it. Recommended if... Overall Why are you still reading this? Go buy the book. 20 copies, at least. Score: Perfect/10 DISCLAIMER: DC Comics provided Batman News with- Okay, I'm being told I have to actually talk about this? I thought you guys were…
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a massive fan of Batman: the Brave and the Bold-style team-up stories, so when I volunteered to pick up the rest of Urban Legends, I knew I was in for a good time. Though I missed out on the Batman/Question team-up that always lead to my favorite stories, there are…
In my review of Flashpoint Beyond #0, I began with what I felt was an important preface before diving into the review itself. I have inherent objections to the book, from its metatextual commentary to behind-the-scenes circumstances regarding it existing in the first place. Those complaints still apply here, but I'm at least happy to say…
We are officially at the halfway point in Tom King’s Killing Time. We’ve seen a theft, the start of an investigation, and our thieves waiting for their buyer, which means it’s now time for things to go very very wrong. There’s a lot I enjoyed about this issue of Killing Time. The story generally feels…
Ah, screw it. Spoilers, I suppose. I was going to write a long-winded analogy about something fun I could compare this book to, but it's not worth my time. This book isn't fun - why should I pretend, even for a moment, that I'm having fun discussing it? Let's get into one of the worst…
After reuniting with Talia in the last issue Robin dives straight into Shadow War this month. Damian continues his search for Deathstroke, answers as to why Ra’s was killed, and learns more than he expected to. I’ll be honest, I found this issue a little hard to review since it’s less an issue of Robin…
When I first applied to write reviews for this site I wrote a practice review for Detective Comics and sent it in, with the hope that I could simply join the team. And now at last, I’m lucky enough to be given the opportunity to properly review the title itself. I am so excited to…
Tom Taylor’s Elseworld story of swords and sorcery enters its sixth chapter by stoking the fires of the burning mysteries and misdirection found in this story from the very beginning. So, in the interest of clarity, let's recap what we know so far: In this story, Batman and Superman are both half-brothers in a medieval…
Beginning with July 26's Detective Comics #1062, writer Ram V and artist Rafael Albuquerque will become the new creative team heading Batman's original and longest-running comic. V and Albuquerque are experienced creators having already spent plenty of time in the world of Batman. V is known for Catwoman, Batman: Urban Legends and Justice League Dark, and Albuquerque illustrated many…
It's 2011, and DC needs a fresh start. Flashpoint, written by Geoff Johns, is released. This event is a company-wide movement, propelling DC into a new, rebooted universe with the New 52. The New 52 recieved great commercial acclaim - but mixed critical and fan reception, to say the least. Four years later, DC would…
Questions are answered in Tom King and Clay Mann’s Batman/Catwoman #11, though many readers will find the resolutions to be lacking. King’s scripts have kept the reader at a distance in many ways. Between his non-linear narrative and the time skips between issues, it’s no surprise that when the pieces finally fall into place it…
We've done it! It's over! Well, sort of. Justice League has been something of a mess since... well, in all honesty, since I started reviewing the comic. While having several ups and downs since the end of Scott Snyder's run, issues #40 through #74 have been, above all else, directionless. Bendis' arrival hinted at the iconic team…
As much as I love Batman, I also love the entire DC Universe, and would consider myself a DC fan first and foremost. I'm just as likely to get excited about a Jimmy Olsen comic or something featuring Jack Kirby's Fourth World characters as I am something featuring Batman and his extended cast of characters,…
