8 on Catwoman, Vol. 3: Death of the Family reviewA whiny Batman, a Ke$ha-esque Selina Kyle, a resurrection by cat-licking, and a demonic possession. This is Ann Nocenti & Rafa Sandoval's Catwoman and it's one of the worst things I've read. Content This softcover collects New 52 - Catwoman issues #0, 13-18. It's important to note that issue #18 was part of the Requiem…
Note: Do NOT read The Joker: Death of the Family until you have already finished Batman, Vol. 3: Death of the Family, which goes on sale October 30th. When the New 52 began in September of 2011, one of the first stories to really grab headlines was Tony Daniel's Detective Comics #1. That comic featured…
Someone has sabotaged a U.S. naval weapons test and sparked a war with Atlantis. Now it's a race against the clock to not only find out who is responsible for the attack but to rescue the countless innocent lives that are in danger as an enraged Atlantis begins to sink coastal cities into the sea.…
No, his costume isn't the coolest and yes it is a title that cashed in on the success of The Court of Owls arc from Scott Snyder's Batman but trust me, this book will exceed your expectations and be 100% worth your time and money. Content Talon, Vol. 1: Scourge of the Owls is written…
Medusa the Gorgon is revealed as the abductor of Gotham's children. Realizing she's in over her head, Batwoman enlists the help of someone who has experience slaying beasts of Greek mythology, Wonder Woman. Together this all new take on the World's Finest travel the globe seeking answers and the location of Medusa before she has…
Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight was originally launched in 1989 to attract new readers flooding into comic shops after the release of Tim Burton's BATMAN. The comic picked up where Frank Miller's Batman: Year One left off and featured rotating creative teams that told short stories or 5-issue long arcs (my personal favorite being…
Gotham's children are going missing and Scarecrow is the one to blame. In Gregg Hurwitz and David Finch's Batman: The Dark Knight: Cycle of Violence Batman must confront his own worst fears in order to bring down a more gruesome interpretation of Jonathan Crane who drips blood from stitched-together lips and wields a new fear…
Let's keep Bat-History alive and talk about Batman Illustrated by Neal Adams, Vol. 3. This collection of Neal Adams' Batman work was originally published in 2004 as a hardcover but only now is it available in the more affordable softcover format. However, just like with Volumes 1 and 2, this assortment of classic tales does…
Arkham Unhinged is a series that's meant to fill in the gaps between the video games Arkham Asylum and Arkham City. It's written by Derek Fridolfs (Justice League Unlimited, Li'l Gotham) and features a new artist with every issue including such talented individuals as Darick Robertson, Jorge Jimenez, and Peter Nguyen. Content Volume 2 of…
It seems to me like Lobdell exited the wrong book. While I found both volumes of the New 52 Teen Titans to be abysmal, author Scott Lobdell's Red Hood and the Outlaws was one of the most fun Bat titles that I could find. With Volume 2 I was a little put off by the…
Around the time I reviewed this series last graphic novel everybody was bemoaning how sad it was that the Teen Titans comic book couldn't capture the same sort of magic as the Young Justice TV series. Now Young Justice has been replaced by Teen Titans Go! and this comic series still chugs along month after…
The first volume of the New 52 Nightwing's adventures relied pretty heavily on readers knowing all about the Court of Owls storyline going on in Batman. This volume still requires you know a bit about The Court of Owls, but rewards you for your effort with the best Night of Owls tie-in as well as…
The time for preparation is over. Batman is done globetrotting and recruiting new agents for the war with Leviathan. The war is here in The New 52 Batman Incorporated and with a story that takes place primarily in Gotham City and focuses mostly on the relationship between Bruce and his son, this volume has more…
I have reviewed a lot of books since the battle for who owns Gotham ended. The Court of Owls' attack on Gotham City that dominated bat-comics for nearly all of 2012 felt like a distant memory when it came time to review Batman, Vol. 2: The City of Owls. So I went back and read…
This deluxe-sized edition is a celebration of all the Batman work that creative team Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso produced, but Azzarello doesn't get any credit in the title because this is about Risso's ink first and foremost. You'll quickly notice that all pages have been stripped of color to better showcase Eduardo's original work…
Today on Batman News, I talk about Batman Illustrated, Vol. 2, an anthology of Neal Adams' work that was originally released in 2004 but only now comes to you in the more affordable softcover format. Content Foreword by Neal Adams & Introduction by Dick Giordano You'll come for the comic books, but stay for the essays.…
Batman and Robin, Vol. 2 has what is probably the most macabre looking cover to ever accompany the title "Pearl." This volume also happens to be, in my opinion, the low-point in an otherwise terrific series. Content Pearl collects issues #0, 9-14. That means you get: So why "Pearl"? My thoughts exactly. The pearl in…
Volume 1 of Duane Swierczynski's Birds of Prey was a tightly knit espionage thriller that I enjoyed, so I don't know what the heck happened between that and this! Your Kiss Might Kill is the very definition of half-baked, made up of ideas that are never played out to completion drawn by artists who never…
There was way, way, way, way, way too much going on in this story for me to follow it across 12+ months of all-too-brief Batman Beyond Unlimited issues and I'm sure many of you either got lost like I did or didn't even touch this thing until it came out in trade. Well, the wait…
10,000 Clowns has been released in 3 different stages: a few pages every week online, printed in the Beyond Unlimited anthology series for a few pages more once per month, and all together in this printed trade paperback. If you were patient enough to wait for the trade paperback (15 months), then you made the smart decision!…
