7 on Fanhome announce The Legends of Batman collectionsFor comic fans, amassing a collection of single issues, graphic novels, and omnibus collections is a never-ending endeavor. With access to comic shops and online vendors alike, it’s never been easier to buy comics to start, continue, or complete your collection. As if a collection is ever complete. You know what I mean. To make…
One of the list relics of a bygone era is the comic book adaptation timed to the release of a film. Yes, there are still comics based on movies, but used to be you could go into a drug store or gas station and pick up a bonafide issue of, like, a James Bond movie,…
Six years after the previous volume was originally published, we finally get to return to the world of Batman: Earth One, with the star-studded creative team of Geoff Johns, Gary Frank, Jon Sibal, Brad Anderson, and Rob Leigh in tow. The long-awaited third volume picks up shortly after the second, as Bruce Wayne grows more…
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times now, but I’ll repeat myself again: Batman: The Animated Series rules. And the accompanying comics rule just as hard. They’re the perfect intersection of great writing, fantastic art, and accessible storytelling, with complete stories that are consistently and excellently Batman. Though they were long…
Over the past forty or so years, there are three big names that helped change the perception that comics are just silly stories for kids. Fans knew that all along, of course, but these writers definitely showed that even the zaniest of comic characters could have true literary merit. They are Alan Moore, Grant Morrison,…
Few of Batman's villains bring with them so much potential for truly deep storytelling than Ra's Al Ghul. With a life that spans centuries, the Demon's Head is formidable not only in his cunning and physical prowess, but with the loyalties he's amassed over the years. Whether by blood or by oath, his followers have…
As fun as it is to read about the amazing feats of our favorite heroes, we can't help but have questions about them. Is Superman always super, or is he capable of messing up? Does Green Lantern feel constrained in his fashion choices by his limited color palette? Besides having wings, does Hawkgirl share other...…
One thousand issues of Detective Comics. Eighty years of Batman. That is insane. Much like they did last year with the thousandth issue of Action Comics, DC Comics are pulling out all the stops to celebrate the 80th anniversary of perhaps their most popular character: Batman. Truly, 2019 will be the Year of the Bat,…
This article was originally published on Comics Now. Reprinted with permission. What if the Green Lantern Corps were a relic of a bygone age? What if there were nothing but whispers in the stars and a handful of scattered rings to bear witness to its existence? Gabriel Hardman’s Green Lantern: Earth One imagines such a…
The DC Universe is that: a universe. Most of the company's most beloved characters originate from-- or are at least somehow connected to-- the planet Earth, yet their adventures can often take them beyond the stars. There's New Genesis and Apokolips, caught in perpetual conflict; Oa and now Mogo, headquarters of the Green Lantern Corps…
For decades, there were two primary Batman titles: Detective Comics and Batman. Sure, Bats and his extended family would show up in a variety of titles, such as World's Finest, Justice League of America, and the like, and there were even Batman-branded titles like Batman and the Outsiders, Batman Family, and The Brave and the…
When Darwyn Cooke passed away at the all-too-young age of 53 in May 2016, he left behind a legacy of great stories and even greater artwork. In the wake of his passing, DC has wisely opted to re-release several of his most beloved stories so fans can experience them anew. While he was best known…
It's summer vacation for the students of Super Hero High, and with it comes opportunity for new adventures. With the school year behind them, what are the likes of Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Katana, Harley Quinn, and the whole crew going to do on their break? Spend it apart, apparently. This is bad news for Wonder…
Batman always works alone... except for those times that he doesn't. This is one of those times. Immediately after another one of those times. Point being, Batman is often portrayed as a dark, grim loner who doesn't get along with people. Dark? Sure. Grim? When he needs to be. Loner? Considering Robin debuted less than…
It's Halloween, so what better time is there to read some spoooOOOoooky Batman stories? And really, when else should you read about a guy who dresses up like a vampire bat and then literally becomes one? Such is the concept behind the second Elseworlds: Batman volume. Collecting the Batman/Dracula trilogy of Red Rain, Bloodstorm, and…

In this installment of Back Issue Review, we're taking a look at an issue of one of the most underappreciated comic series of the past few decades: Superman Adventures. Based on the Superman cartoon from the 90s, this series was similar to the comparable Batman series in that it told some of the best stories…
Grayson was a tricky prospect. Taking Dick Grayson, one of the oldest established characters in comics, long known as the beloved Nightwing, and turning him into a spy? That's gutsy. Fortunately, the venture paid off, as Grayson was as one of DC's best books for its entire run, and that acclaim in turn catapulted Tom…
I don’t look fondly on Jim Gordon’s stint as Batman. In fact, for the year that he claimed the mantle of Batman, I remained consistently vocal in my opposition of the decision. I felt as though it were a desperate attempt for something “different,” and I couldn’t believe Gordon, as a character, deciding to…
