2 on Batman: Urban Legends #20 reviewUrban Legends is consistently one of the best books I have the pleasure of reviewing. Especially with the last few, we've been given nothing but banger after banger stories, and there's ZERO signs of slowing down here. In fact, I'm so excited about these, I can't think of a proper intro. Let's jump in. Castle Arkham: On…
Batman vs. Robin #2 delivers a spectacle of exposition, clearly establishing the stakes and motivations of every character. It’s a risky endeavor, but Mahmud Asrar’s sense of style and Mark Waid’s sense of humor elevate what could have been a dry read into a thrilling, and often funny, chapter. Right from the start, Waid’s script…
Say what you will about Urban Legends, but I'm always at the very least excited to crack it open and see what we have. An anthology series like this can be a big risk, and as I've said many times before, isn't always worth your money, but when it gets good it gets GOOD. Urban Legends #19…
Batman vs. Robin #1 overcomes most of the pitfalls a “versus” title faces at its very conception. I don’t like seeing heroes fight each other, but the return of a fan favorite character and aggressive pacing allows Mark Waid and Mahmud Asrar to cut to the chase and deliver equal parts spectacle and character drama.…
After only 17 issues Joshua Williamson’s Robin comes to an end this month. And I have some thoughts on the ending, so let’s get right in. To start with, this does not feel like the end of a series. None of the last couple issues leading up to it have had that feeling, and honestly…
Transported to an elseworlds of brutal illustrations and onomatopoeias. A "what if" journey limited only by the breadth of the imagination. This is DCeased: War of The Undead Gods. I confess, I'm not that into DCeased as a series. I gave up on it early on as the DC universe began to fall into despair.…
I'd like to begin this review by asking who enjoys this book, and why. It's not like I think Dark Crisis could not possibly have fans. In fact, I envy those who are fans of this book - I'd love to find joy in this event, to be invested in the characters to the point where…
SVOT is a heavily used business term. It is an acronym for the phrase, “Single Version Of The Truth.” It means that everyone in the organization has the same information, and should essentially be on the same page. In DC Vs. Vampires, I’m not seeing the synergy. When we last left off, Jayna had just…
After Shadow War and the last issue brought Damian back together with both his parents, he’s pushing forward into his own path in life choosing to step away from both of them. Returning to Lazarus Island he has a plan for his own future, and that of the friends he’s made along the way. But…
With the Shadow War done and wrapped, Damian has found himself reunited with his parents, and back in Gotham. Now that he’s patched things up with Bruce, will he stick around, or continue pushing forward to find himself? And just what lies in store for Talia now that she's turned herself in to the authorities?…
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…
After reuniting with Talia in the last issue Robin dives straight into Shadow War this month. Damian continues his search for Deathstroke, answers as to why Ra’s was killed, and learns more than he expected to. I’ll be honest, I found this issue a little hard to review since it’s less an issue of Robin…
Now that the tournament is over and its instigators have been wrangled it’s time for Damian to return home. But just what kind of a Gotham is he returning to, and does he really even have a reason to stay there? I’m still enjoying this series quite a bit, and a big part of that…
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…
Last month Damian managed to rally the remaining fighters on the island to help him take down Mother Soul’s Lazarus demon. At last faced with Mother Soul herself, Damian was suddenly transported back into the past, right in the path of not only Mother Soul, but a younger version of his Grandfather as well! Robin…
The Super Sons are reunited again in this Superman & Robin special. I’ve missed these boys together, and I’m especially interested to see how their dynamic holds up now that Jon is older than Damian. We’ve had a couple brief meetings between them, but at last it’s time to see them take on another adventure…
The Lazarus Tournament is down to the final two: Damian versus Connor in a battle to find out just who is the stronger of the two. Plus, Mother Soul’s plans are still in motion, and underneath it all a demon waits to rise! As I’ve come to expect from Robin, this issue once again is…
As soon as I heard this book's pitch during DC's Round Robin contest, I felt sick. Not because I don't like the idea, the Robins are my absolute favorite part of the Batman mythos, and a book of them just hanging out sounds absolutely wonderful, but because of where it was positioned in the bracket.…
The Lazarus tournament is in full swing as is Damian’s investigation into the secrets behind the island and Mother Soul. With the tension high, and mysteries piling higher, will we get some answers this issue? And how will Damian fair in this leg of the tournament? You know those books you read that make you…
After being blinded by some extremely charming Green Arrow/Question content last issue, I realized this time around that I forgot to ask one very important question: No really, who is Daemon Rose? We didn't see anything about that last issue. Like, seriously, the name Daemon Rose is absent for the entire thing. Not one mention. I…
