8 on Batman/Catwoman #12 reviewBatman/Catwoman #12 delivers a satisfying conclusion for readers of this series as well as Tom King’s actual Batman run. It will not win over new readers or those who weren’t fans of King’s Batman to begin with, but for those still reading this often delayed series the final moments should prove heartwarming. Right off 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…
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…
Bruce has officially started his world tour to find out just who he wants to be, and begun learning the skills required to make him Batman. This month his journey takes him deeper into the mystery of The Foundling and a few steps closer to becoming the Batman we know and love. I’m covering Batman:…
It's a major bummer when, even though there's an overwhelming majority of Bat-books over at DC right now, there's only one that our team is consistently excited about. It's a major win, however, when I get to review that book. Let's talk about Batman: The Knight #2 Nick took my "who was in Paris" joke so…
Hey, remember when this was gonna be a book about the Robins getting together, sitting down, and talking about whether or not being Robin was good for them? Haha, yeah. Me too. Anyways, I don't really have anything to say about this other than I am disappointed I will give Tim Seeley credit in…
Batman/Catwoman #10 puts its chips on the table as the story pivots from simmering tension to an all out brawl across all three of its storylines. Clay Mann’s return to art duties makes things more tactile than the past few issues, while Tom King’s script finally gets to let loose and shed much of the…
Batman/Catwoman Special #1 is a triumph as a one-shot examining Selina Kyle’s life through the various ways she’s spent Christmas. It’s also a touching tribute to the late, great John Paul Leon who draws half the story and has the entire second half of the issue serve as a tribute for him. Meanwhile, fans of…
I know there’s kind of a running gag/cry for help about how many bat-books we need to cover over here at Batman News, but I can genuinely say that this is one book I have been nothing but excited for since it was announced. This is largely in part due to the incredible pitch: a…
Batman/Catwoman #9 is an intense read as Tom King’s script expertly bounces across three time periods, greatly aided by Liam Sharp’s increasingly surreal art. Each of the three storylines here are equally engaging, leading to one of the most gripping issues of the series so far. Last issue’s cliffhanger is immediately addressed as Joker betrays…
Batman/Catwoman #8 is a visual feast courtesy of Liam Sharp, who utilizes various styles to keep up with Tom King’s twisty script. The barriers between the various timelines blur more than ever before, but each individual scene is incredibly strong despite the bevy of themes and ideas King throws at the reader. You’re either on…
Hey everyone! Batman #113 is here, and it's got what I know everyone here has been waiting for... More exposition! Buckle up folks, because we're hacking the mainframe and going inside the Batman's brain! Memories abound! Backstories galore! What more could you want from a story? Hopefully you didn't want plot Surprise! The majority of this…
Batman/Catwoman #7 features a shake-up in both plot and artistic merits, providing a breath of fresh air to an already improving series. Liam Sharp takes over art duties for this issue, creating a wildly different atmosphere for the book even down to its more sensual romance scenes. And while the plot is still loosely sketched,…
Batman/Catwoman #6 is one of the better entries of the series so far. While the narrative momentum still has its issues between the delayed shipping schedule and the three time period structure, the tangible moment to moment scenes are more engaging than usual. Now if only I could remember what the hell is going on.…
Scooby and the gang are back, and they're facing their greatest threat yet- Black Mask! They'll need some help on this one, and who better than Nightwing and Batgirl? That's right sports fans, Nightwing is here!! In a Scooby-Doo comic!! I literally could not be happier. Now, before I spend my entire article gushing about…
Long ago – when the pyramids were still young – Egyptian kings played a game of great and terrible power. But these Shadow Games erupted into a war which threatened to destroy the entire— Oh, sorry. I accidentally started reciting the opening to the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. What was I saying? Ah, yes. Long ago –…
Future State: Catwoman #2 solidifies this two part story as my favorite of the entire Future State line. Otto Schmidt’s art remains immaculate, Ram V’s script is well paced, and there’s a sense of closure while remaining open ended if this storyline is ever to be picked up again. All in all, Future State: Catwoman…
Future State: Catwoman #1 is one of the best books to come out of DC’s latest initiative. Ram V’s script is perfectly paced and engaging. The world building is more nuanced than most other Future State books and Otto Schmidt’s art delivers the goods when it comes to both spectacle and delicate character moments. Even…
Batman Beyond #49 doesn’t reinvent the wheel when it comes to time travel plotlines and while my hopes for a more in depth examination into Terry’s relationship with his father and Bruce weren’t fully realized, this month’s issue still delivers a mostly satisfying ending for this two-part story. There’s an endearing throwback vibe for this…
