1 on Funko DC Super Heroes Five Star reviewFunko’s Pop! vinyl collectibles are a worldwide phenomenon, and even if you have no interest in comic books or other nerdery, you’ve likely seen them around and recognize their distinctive styles—even if you don’t know what they’re called. But Pop!s aren’t all Funko does, and they’ve seen great success with the Dorbz, Pint-Sized Hero, and…
There's so much to see at ToyFair that it's tough to see it all in four days. But if the bright primary colors of our favorite DC heroes hit our eye, we have to stop and take a look. That led us to Enesco's booth, where the Justice League and some of its greatest villains…
Mego was a big thing back in the day, and then they went away. But now they've come from the past to fix the future with toys—IN THE PRESENT. They were kind enough to send us a few of their new DC 14-inch figures, and I've been checking them out for the past few days.…
As I've no doubt mentioned elsewhere, I have an interesting history with DST's Vinimates line. When I first started working with the company on reviews, I told them not to send any, because I thought they were gross. Oh, how far I've come! At this point, I think I like them as much as I…
If you've even dabbled in collecting Batman-related merchandise, then you probably know Kotobukiya. They've produced memorable statues for all sorts of DC characters, but their Batman ARTFX statue—across several versions—is considered one of the best statues of the Dark Knight that there is. As if having one outstanding Batman wasn't enough, a year or two…
Video courtesy of Comics Now At first glance, you might say they’re ugly. But get to know them, let them into your heart, and they are beautiful. I’m talking, of course, about Diamond Select’s Vinimates. Featuring the distinctive aesthetic first brought to life in the popular Minimates line, these little Vinyl statues have captured the…
There are a lot of great card games out there. There are also lots of great Batman products out there. Combining the two seems like a no-brainer, right? The good folks at Looney Labs have done just that, taking their in-house game Fluxx and, by partnering with our friends at Cryptozoic Entertainment, fusing it with…
It's no secret that Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, superstar team of the New-52 Batman title, were planning another project together. Snyder hasn't been shy about hinting at their reunion, and after the details of Dark Days were released this past week it only seemed like a matter of time until there was an official…
Legendary horror artist Bernie Wrightson has passed away due to complications from brain surgery. The artist, who is best known for his work in horror comics, has also contributed pencils to various Batman comics over the years. His most notable Batman work is likely the miniseries Batman: The Cult, in which he collaborated with legendary…
When Darwyn Cooke passed away at the all-too-young age of 53 back in May, he left behind a legacy of great stories and even greater artwork. In the wake of his passing, DC has wisely opted to re-release several of his most beloved stories so fans can experience them anew. While he was best known…
Batman: The Animated Series accomplished many things. Aside from spinning off several other series to create what is now known as the DC Animated Universe and serving as the introduction to Batman for an entire generation, the series also introduced quite a few ideas and characters that were so well received that they were brought into…
Loss is hard, there's no denying that. Even when you don't personally know someone, just being an admirer of their work makes their passing hit you on an emotional level. With the death of a talent like Darwyn Cooke, whose inimitable and immediately recognizable style brought with it a sense of hope and optimism no…
On February 8, 1914, 102 years ago today, Bill Finger was born. The unsung hero of Batman's creation, Finger went almost completely unrecognized for his contributions to the character until well after his untimely death in 1974. In fact, his first official credit on a Batman comic wouldn't come until 2014's Detective Comics #27, and…
Superman: American Alien #3: "Parrot" Written by Max Landis Illustrated by Joëlle Jones Colored by Rico Renzi Lettered by John Workman Before we jump into this review, let's look at that cover. I like some of the details, like the Batsymbol in the boat's wake, but take a look at the central figure, the primary…
Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #2: "Last Turtle Standing" Written by James Tynion IV Illustrated by Freddie E. Williams II Colored by Jeremy Colwell Lettered by Tom Napolitano Comic books, though often seen as a medium for children, can still be used to tackle tough subjects and answer big questions. Watchmen is the first example that comes…
Batman ’66 Meets the Man From U.N.C.L.E. #2: “The Batman Affair: Villains in a Rush/Bruce Wayne, Agent of T.H.R.U.S.H." Written by Jeff Parker Illustrated by David Hahn Inked by Karl Kesel and David Hahn Colored by MadPencil Lettered by Wes Abbott Tone is a tricky thing. Just as much as the look of a TV…
Fifty years ago, on a cool (presumably), sunny (in places) day like today, Batman premiered on television screens across the nation. The series, with its bright Pop Art colors and tongue-in-cheek humor, rescued Batman from no uncertain obscurity and shaped the public's perception of the character for years to come. And rescue from obscurity it did, as…
Suicide Squad Vol. 2: The Nightshade Odyssey Written by John Ostrander Illustrated by Luke McDonnell Colored by Julianna Ferriter Inked by Bob Lewis Lettered by Todd Klein Task Force X, or the "Suicide Squad" as it's more popularly known, is one of the crazier concepts in comics that has found unlikely, long-running success. Beginning as…
The Dark Knight III: The Master Race #2: “Book Two” Written by Frank Miller & Brian Azzarello Illustrated by Andy Kubert Inked by Klaus Janson Colored by Brad Anderson Lettered by Clem Robins Here's a surprise: Commissioner Ellen Yindel may be the most interesting, sympathetic character in this whole affair. I never thought I'd type…
Arkham Knight: Genesis #5 Written by Peter J. Tomasi Illustrated by Dexter Soy Colored by Dave McCaig Lettered by Deron Bennett Rest in piece, pizza rat. We hardly knew ye. That is on the very first page of this, the penultimate installment of Genesis, and if you haven't been paying attention for the past few…
