3 on Punchline: The Gotham Game #6 reviewThe Royal Flush Gang decide to abandon Punchline after the ambush by the Gentleman's Club at Port Royal. Meanwhile, Alexis Kaye is alive and in the welcoming company of the Joker. The primary theme of this issue seems to surround Alexis having no one she can trust. Unsurprisingly, Punchline has little to no friends. Luckily,…
The fighting finally ends after the latest death of one of the three monarchs in the land. Sadly, the existence of this new threat means that the war isn't over. Hopefully knowing the truth can restore the trust between the kingdoms before it is too late. The mother of the Amazons has died in battle.…
It's the final issue of this series, and while I'm not exactly distraught to see it go, I do think it's a little sad that this might be the last we see of this version of Batman's world. I've really enjoyed the Gotham Knights universe, and I hope we get to see more of it in…
Catwoman #53 doesn’t boldly take the series in a new direction, but Tini Howard’s focus on characterization mostly distracts the reader from a narrative treading water. The prison setting isn’t wholly befitting an extended visit from Selina Kyle who’s better suited to sleuth about museums, high roller clubs, or any environment full of riches. However,…
The penultimate chapter of DCeased: War of the Undead Gods has begun! Every story thread spun from the beginning finally leads into a big conflict. As Darkseid and the forces of Anti-living reach Earth-2, the good guys make their desperate last stand. After Alfred Pennyworth made the choice to kill the final members of his…
After an encounter with Ghost-Maker's ex-sidekick leaves them shaken, Batman Inc. flies to Gotham to do Batman a solid. However, Professor Pyg's rampage could be a more complex nightmare waiting to happen! Clownhunter may not have killed Ghost-Maker for Phantom-One, but he hasn't forgotten the events of the previous issue. While he hasn't left…
Reviewing The Riddler: Year One is an interesting experience. After three years of reviewing for Batman News, I’ve tackled all kinds of books, good and bad; and each of them had their own unique challenges when I would put my thoughts on them into words. Sure, some good books were easy to write, but so…
We're back with a blast from the past (a few, actually) in this week's issue of Gilded City! This whole mini has been better than it had any right to be, especially for a video game tie-in comic, and I honestly would love to see this Narcisse/Abel/John/Wands team on a future bat-project, unhindered by any obligations…
Batman vs. Robin #5 wraps up the series with a suitable amount of heart and bombast, even if the ultimate result feels familiar. While reading the previous Lazarus Planet issues isn’t required, some may find themselves a little lost if they only stuck to this mainline series. Mark Waid’s script does a decent job of…
Punchline and The Royal Flush Gang go on the offensive against Gotham's crime families. As the war in the city begins to look dire, Punchline releases an unexpected "Ace In The Hole." ba-dum-tiss! The investigation that began in issue #3 finds new legs as Ventura Freemont explores the crime scene. Even though the city moves…
Catwoman #52 is a step in the right direction for Tini Howard’s prison based arc, which features a better handle on Selina’s current mental state. Additionally, her fellow inmates are given more to do and now represent Selina’s unique moral philosophies toward thievery and the downtrodden. The subplot with Dario and Eiko Hasigawa doesn’t quite…
Lazarus Planet finally comes back around to its main storyline. As the Lazarus storm rages on, King Fire Bull makes his move on Black Alice. All the heroes, villains, and sorcerers unite together to bring magic back to normal for the sake of the planet. Nevertheless, their combined efforts may not be enough. Nobody wants…
Batman is desperate to stop the Demon's Brood and their dangerous ritual in Gotham. Just as Batman figures out what they're after, the truth turns the mystery upside down all over again. It's all just another tale of life and death in Batman The Audio Adventures #5! McNicholas continues to take his Audio Adventures…
Lazarus Planet continues with another anthology called Dark Fate! It mostly focuses on the not-so-pretty results of the Lazarus rainfall. Although half of the tales focus on heroes we know like Huntress or The Doom Patrol, it sets up the tragic origins of newer characters. Whisper Of The Moth The first story follows Helena Bertinelli…
Alas, the evil prodigal son has Ghost-Maker and Batman Inc. where he wants them. However, the team are no closer to giving Phantom-One and his band of Batman-rejects the reckoning they deserve. Last issue I coined "Vengeance Incorporated" to describe Phantom-One's gang of failed Luthor's Batmen. In truth, while nameless, the group of murderers see…
Over the years, DC Comics has experimented with the Legion of Superheroes off and on. First introduced in the comics in 1959 as an outlet for Superboy, The Legion have steadily grown into fan favorites. Although these days, Legionnaires don't hold as much mainstream relevancy as The Teen Titans. The team features an innumerable cast…
As a result of the Lazarus Rain among other patent pending "Lazarus" problems, the DC Universe begins to mutate. For better or worse, Legends Reborn sires the return of characters such as The Question II, Trigon, and Firestorm. In addition, Lazarus Planet is gearing up to introduce new characters like Trilogy or City Boy. Masks…
After a three part lead up to this in the backups, and an explosive ending last month, this issue of Detective Comics promises to focus heavily on Harvey Dent and his continuing struggle against himself and the azmer inside him. However things turn out, it’s sure to be interesting. I’ve long said that Harvey Dent…
We're back! The Runaway's adventures continue, and the FOMO Fear Gas is still spreading! What secrets connect the two? Will our heroes, past and present, be able to stop their respective crises? Let's find out! The Runaway I think I've said it in just about every review so far, but The Runaway is such an…
"No More Teachers" part 4 does little to refute the ongoing indictment of Ghost-Maker. Easily divided by Phantom-One and his vigilantes, Batman Incorporated suffers an embarrassing defeat while Khoa disappointingly remains one step behind. I am a huge fan of Robin, the Boy Wonder. My brother would often play Batman, while I took the fun…
