5 on All the News from DC's NYCC Gotham City PanelDC's Gotham City panel began at 10.45am: the latest update for fans about what's going on in the world of Batman. People began their Sunday morning a little drowsy, but that energy quickly resurfaced once the panel truly began. Ben Abernathy, an executive editor at DC, introduced the panelists: Frank Tieri, Meghan Fitzmartin, Ram V,…
After introducing Harvey Dent into the mystery, Ram V continues to develop his narrative here in Detective Comics #1064. This time he has new questions for Batman and the readers, and focuses deeper on characters like Talia and Bruce’s relationship. I am enjoying Detective Comics more and more with each issue I read written by…
Last month Ram V began his run on Detective Comics by plunging Batman into a strange new case involving ancient artifacts and people turning into monsters all while surrounding it in an operatic tone. This month he works to further those mysteries, and the personal questions he's challenged Batman with. Much like the previous…
Detective Comics #1062 is the opening act of Ram V’s time on the book. Promising operatic darkness, and a new enticing mystery this arc –and run– is sure to be an interesting one. I’m delighted to get a chance to review it, as Ram V is one of my favorite writers at DC right now.…
It has been reported that Scottish comic book writer and industry legend Alan Grant has passed away. Grant is widely regarded as one of the greatest Batman writers of all time, thanks in no small part to his work with the equally great artist Norm Breyfogle. The pair created the villain Anarky during their stint…
Over the past two issues of this arc we’ve seen the Riddler weave riddles over the airwaves and Gotham citizens committing crimes without a solid reason. Tied with it all, is the mystery of Judge Donovon and the first of these crimes: the bombing of her courtroom. With the arc wrapping up, will Batman finally…
It was about 1am in the morning when I got on a call with Ram V: 2022 Eisner Award nominee and upcoming writer of DC’s seminal publication, Detective Comics. Work was in a few hours, and I resolved to try to keep the interview as quiet as possible, lest I wake my housemates up through…
When discussing great Batman comics, we often focus on particular storylines or creative teams. But what about the times in Batman's history where no matter which title you picked up off the newsstands, you're almost guaranteed to get some quality Batman content? The times when different creative teams worked on different books to different ends,…

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…

When I first applied to write reviews for this site I wrote a practice review for Detective Comics and sent it in, with the hope that I could simply join the team. And now at last, I’m lucky enough to be given the opportunity to properly review the title itself. I am so excited to…
Beginning with July 26's Detective Comics #1062, writer Ram V and artist Rafael Albuquerque will become the new creative team heading Batman's original and longest-running comic. V and Albuquerque are experienced creators having already spent plenty of time in the world of Batman. V is known for Catwoman, Batman: Urban Legends and Justice League Dark, and Albuquerque illustrated many…
And so we arrive at the conclusion of perhaps the most expensive event that I’ve ever reviewed. I haven’t been enjoying “Shadows of the Bat” at all, and I haven’t been feeling optimistic about this conclusion, either. This is an event that, at most, should’ve been 6 issues instead of 12, but it could probably…
This is the penultimate issue in the “Shadows of the Bat” event, and I haven’t been a fan of this story. Not only does more than half of this event consist of filler, it’s also a very expensive series: if you were to buy every single issue of “Shadows of the Bat,” you’d end up…
We’re getting closer to the conclusion of “Shadows of the Bat.” So far the event has been lackluster, to say the least, and it’s also been very expensive—you’ll end up spending a minimum of $60.88 if you’re buying the entire event in single issues! You can check out my brief breakdown of the price point…
The third and final act of “Shadows of the Bat” begins here. To those that came in late, you haven’t missed much, because so far we’ve only gotten the bare minimum of plot progression throughout the event. Hopefully that changes now that we’re getting closer to the conclusion, but I’m not feeling optimistic. And it…
This is the last chapter of the second act of “Shadows of the Bat.” So far, barely anything interesting has happened in the story. It’s also a very expensive series. If you were to buy every single issue of this event, you will spend at least $60.88 (see my brief breakdown of the price point…
“Shadows of the Bat” is on a downward spiral. With each issue, the quality seems to drop further, and it wasn’t that great to begin with. It’s also overpriced—you’d end up spending a minimum of $60.88 if you were to pick up every single issue of this event, and that’s just the cover price (see…
