  • Batman: Three Jokers #3 review

    WARNING: Full spoilers for all of Three Jokers will follow. Well, here we are. DC’s Rebirth line began over four years ago now, and when bookended with Dark Nights: Death Metal, we see one of the most interesting creative trajectories a comic book company has made in recent history. What started as a critically and…


  • Batman Beyond #48 review

    Batman Beyond #48 is pure comic book fun. Dan Jurgens does lean away from the series’ strong ensemble cast for another “altered memories” plot line, but this time the story is set to dive deeper into Terry and Bruce’s relationship. Paul Pelletier is on art duties and turns in solid work that does more than…


  • Nightwing #75 review

    Nightwing #75 isn’t the issue I wanted it to be. With Dick Grayson finally restored with his memories, I wanted Dan Jurgens to hit the ground running and leave behind the remnants of the “Ric saga”. Unfortunately, Jurgens writes Dick as unsure of his next steps, even keeping him out of his Nightwing costume for…


  • Batman: Three Jokers #2 review

    WARNING: There’s no way around it – this review is going to contain heavy spoilers. It’s no secret that I’ve been incredibly excited for this book. As someone who grew up with Geoff Johns’ Justice League run – it’s honestly a big part of what motivated me to get into comics at all – Three…


  • Batman Beyond #47 review

    The recent DC solicitations for December announced that Dan Jurgens’ Batman Beyond will end with issue #50. With that knowledge in hand, Batman Beyond #47 feels a little out of the series’ normal wheelhouse. Our heroes are far away from Neo-Gotham and find themselves in space trying to take out a dangerous space station run…


  • Justice League #52 review

    Alright, this is getting silly at this point. Justice League #52 is now the third pseudo-sequel to Alan Moore’s work that I’ve reviewed in a row! With this, Three Jokers and everything going on with Watchmen, you’d think DC is just desperate to milk every dollar they can from the jaded magician after hurting him…


  • Batman Beyond #46 review

    It’s safe to say Dan Jurgens’ Batman Beyond is back on track. Any hint of Terry’s amnesia is long gone, Elainna is fully situated as Batwoman, and the book has regained an ensemble cast which Jurgens thrives with in the Beyond universe. Batman Beyond #46 keeps that momentum going with excellent character dynamics, fantastic art,…


  • Justice League #51 review

    You know, I spent a good half-hour trying to think of a clever way to open this review. Sometimes the opening of these articles can be the most difficult, because you’re trying to put your best foot forward for readers looking to your opinion on this issue – a privilege which I greatly appreciate, by…


  • Batman Beyond #45 review

    After two months of basically non-stop action, Batman Beyond #45 smartly slows things down a bit and takes its time to properly set up the arc’s stakes and character motivations. While the last two issues were entertaining, Dan Jurgens’ script and character dynamics take a noticeable bump up in clarity and engagement. Also different is…


  • Spotlight on David Russo, Composer for Gotham and Pennyworth! (Part 2)

    Welcome back to my two-part interview with David Russo! (If you missed Part 1, you can check it out right here.) Today we’ll be getting into questions more catered to Batman fans: specifically, Russo’s feelings on both of the Bat-shows he worked on, what behind-the-scenes knowledge he gained, and what the production process is like…


  • Batman Beyond #44 review

    Batman Beyond #44 is the biggest burst of energy the series has had in a while. Dan Jurgens’ script sheds itself of any mystery and places all of the cards on the table. For too long the series struggled to maintain any sense of momentum due to characters infighting, having amnesia, or keeping their identity…


  • Batman Beyond #43 review

    I know books have been shipping the last few weeks, but I finally feel like I’m back in the comics world with Batman Beyond #43. It’s nice to be in the weekly grind, much like how Terry is finally back in the Batman cowl and fighting crime in Neo Gotham. Jurgens knows what works in…


  • Batman Beyond #42 review

    Batman Beyond #42 should be a slam-dunk for Dan Jurgens and Sean Chen. It brings the main cast back together, positions Terry’s return to being Batman, and puts Bruce Wayne face to face with Blight himself. Unfortunately, the script offers no surprises and leaves Chen without much to do other than go through the motions…


  • Batman Beyond #41 review

    Batman Beyond #41 is the best issue of Dan Jurgens’ amnesiac Terry plotline that began back with the False Face arc. Sean Chen’s pencils, with inks by Sean Parsons, up their game as the arc nears its conclusion, with Jurgens’ script ramping up the stakes to their breaking point. With the entire cast slowly making…


  • Batman Beyond #40 review

    If it weren’t so similar to previous issues, Batman Beyond #40 would more successfully set a course for the series to proceed. Ever since Batwoman’s introduction, Jurgens’ scripts follow a very similar template. Batwoman saves the day in some inconsequential set piece, Bruce and Matt stand around clueless to her identity, and Blight makes a…


  • New 'Batman v Superman' image shows Bruce Wayne and a destroyed city

    The Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice social media accounts just shared a new image that features Ben Affleck as Bruce Wayne. Wayne can be seen standing next to a fallen Wayne Financial building in the middle of a destroyed Metropolis, courtesy of Superman and General Zod's fight at the end of Man of Steel.…


  • Superman: American Alien #3 review

    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…
