1 on Absolute Catwoman miniseries announced at NYCCDuring the DC: Gotham City panel, a spinoff from Absolute Batman was announced titled Absolute Catwoman. The miniseries will be six issues and will be written by Che Grayson and with Bengal on the art. Some story details include Selina adventuring in London and returning to Gotham. It wasn't stated whether it's a prequel to…
The Last Halloween returns after three-month break with issue #8. For this issue, Becky Cloonan steps in to do the interior artwork. This sequel series to The Long Halloween has been really hit-or-miss for me so far, so does this issue get my interest back on the right track? Let’s get into it. Issue #8…
Our sirens (Cat Woman, Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn) have infiltrated their way into a nightclub that finally opened up to the public after being suspiciously exclusive for so long. Once our crew realizes that the prize d possession they’re looking for is a child trapped in a cage they realize something very fishy is going…
Robin has been shot! And the identity of this new “Holiday” shooter remains a mystery. Even though Robin survived the encounter with the shooter, Batman would never forgive himself if something severe were to ever happen to the boy. So how will the Dynamic Duo rebound? Dave Johnson, who’s mostly known for his cover work,…
The mystery surrounding the copycat Holiday shootings resumes in The Last Halloween issue #6. Batman and Robin are looking for motivations for these attacks and for potential suspects, and they might have a lead. There are still many unanswered questions, so how will the Dynamic Duo solve the case? Enrico Marini handles the illustrations on…
Batman has been shot on Christmas. He must have received some coal from jolly old Saint Nick. After confronting Mario Falcone for his suspected involvement with the kidnapping of Commissioner Gordon’s son, Batman has been severely wounded and on the verge of death. The Last Halloween #4 deals with the immediate aftermath and follows Robin…
The timing of The Last Halloween #2 couldn’t have been more perfect with the release falling on the day before Halloween (day of for this review). Oh the synergy! Issue #1 brought us back to the Gotham that Jeph Loeb and the late Tim Sale created decades ago, and it was an excellent start and…
Similar to how Catwoman has a new creative team, the title has a new reviewer as I take over from the long-suffering William. Now I wanted to approach this series with fresh eyes, and as such I chose not to read any of the previous issues of the run in hopes that this would provide…
Jeph Loeb returns to the world that he and the legendary Tim Sale (R.I.P.) created in the mid-90s with Batman: The Long Halloween in this new sequel. When The Last Halloween was announced, expectations were unsurprisingly set extremely high. And with Tim Sale no longer with us, can Loeb craft a story that’s truly a…
Let’s say you’re writing a four-part ensemble story. You’ve laid out maybe a dozen different elements in the forms of plot threads, character ideas, and avenues for social or political commentary. Your story is moving along at an entertainingly fast clip for the first three parts, and now your remaining challenge is to bring it…
Do you watch BreadTube-style video essays? I sure watch a hell of BreadTube-style videos essays, especially for someone who essentially has no idea what that means. I was simply told recently that I watch and enjoy a lot of BreadTube style video essays. One of the things you come to learn if you watch…
Last weak, faithful readers, we were witness to a good deal of gaming groundwork. This week, we really see things moving. Gotham City Sirens #2 is a real winner of a middle issue. Issue #1’s inciting reveal was that Punchline was behind the mysterious cyber-buffalo stampedes, and that the cartoonish futuristic Western violence running…
I’ve recently been spending a good deal of time with somebody who likes to describe things as “camp”. As in, a lot of things. At first, I had no idea what exactly he meant when he used the word. After my strategy of waiting around to see if any sort of pattern revealed itself failed,…
After 13 years, the Gotham City Sirens are back! For a little while, that is at least. The original Gotham City Sirens was created by Paul Dini in 2009 and quickly became a cult classic, though ended when DC's titles were rebooted in 2011 with the New 52. Now, this August, the ongoing comics of Harley…
Red Hood loses his ability to function and the baddies fight each other to get him back and it’s just a whole lotta nonsense from there. This mini-series is going out of its way to be crazy now and I’m kind of into it. At least I’m enjoying the absurdity a lot more than the…
Knight Terrors: Catwoman #1 is a successful addition to the Knight Terrors event that is a strong read even on its own. Tini Howard’s script does an excellent job creating a strange, yet uncannily familiar world that feels equal parts nightmarish and optimistic. Selina’s role in the story is nuanced and expands upon her self-doubts…
To say that Batman and Catwoman have had a rough few years together would be quite the understatement, what with their romance, almost-marriage, splitting up, getting glimpses of their future, and now what could charitably be called "rocky separation." But none of that compares to what's to come later this year, as the Dark Knight…
Catwoman #55 operates as more of a resetting of the table than the fifth part of a story arc. Tini Howard’s script has more room to breathe now that Selina is out of prison and Nico Leon’s slick aesthetic gets ample opportunity to shine as the series returns to its usual high class environments. Nonetheless,…
Catwoman #54 features several interesting character dynamics that find themselves inelegantly utilized to set Selina on a new path forward. Tini Howard wisely wraps up Selina’s stint in prison, but bites off more than the narrative can chew. Team ups that should be satisfying feel rushed and Selina’s prison friends become largely relegated to background…
The 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,…
