ComicBookResources had quite the exclusive yesterday with their big interview with DC Comics Editor-In-Chief and Bob Harras and Editorial Director Bobbie Chase. In the interview we learned that a few books will be getting scrapped this May and that some of our Bat-titles will be getting annual issues and entirely new creative teams.

Last issue, new series writer Fabian Nicieza made great use of the world that Judd Winick had established. This issue, he builds on that world by adding a few new villains and we may even see some changes to the Batwing armor if the debut of Channel 52 news is any indicator. I read this…

Batwing, you are reprieved. I was totally ready to cut this title from the review rotation if this week's issue wasn't any good. In fact, I was rather looking forward to finally being done with it and having one less mediocre comic to read. So I had nothing to lose here. If it was good,…

Respect earned. It couldn't have been easy to clean this mess up, but new writer Fabian Nicieza and fill-in artist Fabrizio Fiorentino pulled it off. Judd Winick, who was the writer on Batwing from the very beginning, jumped ship before finishing the three part Father Lost arc leaving a new writer to pick up the…

It may be the end of Judd Winick's run on Batwing but it's not the end of the Father Lost arc. Next month we'll see Fabian Nicieza take over writing duties on this series and I'll be sticking with it until then just to see how things go with a new creative team, but if…

For the first time in a year of doing these reviews, I forgot to pick up a book. I've never had Batwing in my pull list because I honestly think that the moment I tell the comic shop to hold this book for me, DC will cancel it. The series has failed to stand out…

Issue zero of Batwing should accomplish its goal of attracting new readers but there's not much here for fans who have been reading the book since the beginning. Plainly stated, Batwing is a character who really didn't need a zero issue. The story told here is one that we saw briefly a few months ago,…

So here's some big news that I missed out on by being away for a week. Newsarama talked with Judd Winick and learned that he will be exiting the Batwing title very soon: It’s with a heavy heart that I announce that I’ll be leaving the DC monthly Batwing. I’ve had a terrific time on…

Much like the continent he has sworn to protect, Batwing is in constant need of aid. 6/12 covers have shown Batwing side-by-side with another hero and this week's issue features not only Batwing with Batman and Nightwing but the entire Justice League International as well (only August General in Iron is now called August General…

Let's look at the cover: A howling Chinese Were-Dragon (I thought this was supposed to be about the Batman of Africa?), a tagline that's a pun (Long means "Dragon" in Chinese), and it's guest-starring Nightwing for some reason (What's the point of having a Batman Incorporated if you're not going to use or even have…

Batwing's series is proving to be more of an excuse to see Batman in a 9th book each month rather than a comic in its own right. Issue #10 isn't a bad read, but it shows that the whole superhero of Africa premise is a misnomer.

Meet Alexander Staunton, the newest talon who might very well be THE most badass talon we've seen yet. This is the first book penciled by Marcus To and it also marks Batwing's contribution to the "Night of the Owls' crossover event. Put those two things together and you've got a great jumping-on point for new…

It's a good day and a potentially bad day for Batwing and his fans. The good news is that issue #8 is well worth picking up. You won't be surprised, but you'll be thoroughly entertained. The bad news is Batwing is joining the cast of "Justice League International" as well as having his own book.…

I think it's the best issue since #1. Plain and simple. It's also the most important issue in the arc so far and features plenty of cameos by all your favorite members of the bat-family (except for Tim Drake who has yet to make an appearance in any bat title outside of "Teen Titans"...unless he…

DC Comics' official blog The Source is reporting that Marcus To will be taking over penciling duties on Batwing as of issue #9. This is bittersweet news since Ben Oliver was a fan favorite and arguably Batwing's greatest attraction, yet Marcus To is also a beloved artist who will surely do the book justice and is…

When we last saw Batwing he was tracing a call made by one of Massacre's henchman. Alfred-of-Africa, Matu, declared that the call was made in Giza, Egypt and the book closed with a shot of Massacre walking toward a cliché postcard-like image of Giza—The Sphinx. In issue #6 we discover that Massacre is at the…

After reading the latest issue of "Batwing" I still don't know how I feel about this title. For every likeable element to this story there is something else that's either horribly distracting or derivative. But in the end, it feels like there's more here to complain about than to praise. What did I like about…

Saying that Batwing is a hero born out of great strife is an understatement. In issue #4 we learn that he's an AIDS orphan and an ex-child soldier. Pretty heavy stuff, and if that sort of tragedy interests you then I recommend you pick up the memoirs "A long Way Gone" about a real-life child…
