Break (from) the Bat
·
9 on Break from the Bat #10: Warlords of AppalachiaBoom's Warlords of Appalachia is a four-issue mini set in a broken future where the "Affiliated States of America" have rebelled, started a religious civil war, and were then beaten into submission by the union. Our hero is Kade Mercer, a Kentucky man whose attempt at a peaceful life is upset by the contentious relations between…
Can science solve murder by magic? According to its publisher, that's the question at the heart of Ether, but I disagree. Matt Kindt and David Rubín's new creator-owned series may hook you in with such a premise, but its meat—at least through its first two issues—is a Holmes-esque investigator and the fantastically bizarre, mystical realm…
Every few months, I stumble upon a book that I didn't see coming, and then find myself blown away at both its elusiveness and its splendor. So it is with Green Valley, Max Landis's brand new tale of brotherhood, commitment, and courage in the face of staggering loss, which I only heard about for the…
Supergirl makes her official Rebirth debut this week in one of the most distinct, delightful books to come out of DC's revamped line. Steve Orlando's thorough characterization and Brian Ching's striking aesthetic give Supergirl a strong start and leave me hungry for the next installment. Rebirth is a fresh start for creators, too. It's easy to spot the…
I appreciate the advice, Viceroy, I do. And I hope you can appreciate that I reject your distinction. That somehow they're savage and you're not or we're not. I've been a Lantern for years, served with every race and species. Everyone is savage. Everyone is civilized. We're all the same. In the end. I'm not…
It's been years since I first read Stephen King's The Gunslinger, but I'll never forget my sense of wonder at the world it created. It has enough evidence of our own society to suggest a link, and yet the discrepancies present a fascinating mystery about how things got the way they are. Greg Pak's Kingsway West #1 occupies…
Welcome back to another edition of Break from the Bat! We're a month into Rebirth, and I don't know about the rest of you, but I am digging it! We've got solid-to-excellent books across the line now, and it's been a pleasure to see the market rewarding DC for its creative successes. Let's hop to…
After months of anticipation, the first wave of Rebirth books has finally hit. With promising starts in DC Universe: Rebirth #1 and Detective Comics #934, it's easy to be optimistic. And while most of us at Batman News were less-than-crazy about Batman: Rebirth #1, there were at least a few of you, dear readers, who enjoyed that book, as well.…
How would you like to read the riveting, inspirational story of a Depression-era Italian immigrant boy who emerges from the fire of his father's death stronger, wiser, and morally resolute? Before I lose my seven readers, what if I told you that the fire is not metaphorical, that it came from an actual, real-life dragon,…
Kind of a big deal I know what you're thinking: why on Earth is Archie being featured on a Batman site? I can understand the question. The last thing I expected to read or enjoy this past month was the first volume of Mark Waid and Fiona Staples' new Archie series. I got into comics for…
Once a month, I'll be writing about the things I'm reading in which Batman is (gasp) absent. My hope is that I can turn you on to some good stuff that maybe you wouldn't have checked out otherwise. Or maybe I'm too weird and you won't dig anything I pick. Either way, be sure to…
