6 on Justice League #48 reviewAnd with that, Robert Venditti’s run on Justice League is over! …Yes, you’re right, that did happen last issue. I happened to not notice it, on account of reading the wrong solicitation for this issue. In my defense, it’s hard to tell at first. In the first issue of Simon Spurrier’s “The Rule”, Aaron Lopresti’s…
I genuinely don’t know what to think of the conclusion to Robert Venditti’s “Cold War” arc. I’ve sat with it a while, and I’m still not really sure about it. It’s not that the ending is particularly mind-boggling, or even particularly bad; really, this issue is about the same level of quality as the rest…
What do you guys like out of a Justice League story? I’m genuinely curious. Do you want a huge, sprawling adventure with high stakes and intense character drama? Do you want smaller stories with less pressure, allowing the characters to breathe? Do you prioritise any of these aspects in particular? What does the Justice League…
In Robert Venditti’s arc, Reign of the Supermen, I had a good time - but it was clear that I was questioning the purpose of the story, and why Venditti was dedicating his time on one of DC’s biggest books to write out an ultimately harmless and superfluous story. I liked it fine, but the…
I think one of the most interesting parts about my job so far has been discovering the nuances of pacing in a comic book. Twenty pages is, realistically, not a lot of space for a story to flourish. How many novels have you read that are twenty pages long? While we’ve seen some DC creators…
I wonder, how many of you guys play tabletop games? Dungeons and Dragons is, of course, the most popular of the bunch, though I’m also partial to Vampire: The Masquerade – if you can find a time to do it, they provide a fun mental exercise that puts you and a group of friends through…
Diamond Select Toys makes a wide assortment of DC-related Gallery statues—that's their affordable, plastic line—but the cream of that particular crop is their GameStop-exclusive stuff. If the Gallery line has a consistent weakness, it's paint detail, but the GameStop statues tend to have much better application. Recently, Diamond has been pushing former GameStop-exclusives into the…
God, these issues go by fast! I picked up this comic, ready to dive in and review its pros and cons, tackle the nuances of the book that might go unnoticed on first viewing… and the book was already over. You might attribute this to the book being really good, and an easy read that…
Okay, so I think I understand what Venditti is going for in this Justice League run. In this comic’s first 39 issues & change, Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV crafted an incredibly detailed mythos involving characters from within the DC Multiverse and beyond; as a result, many of the threats the League faced were…
It’s the end of Justice League #39. The team has lost a battle for the soul of the universe, and there looks to be little hope left for the future. In the eleventh hour, they are presented with one final option: a door to the salvation of reality itself. The Justice League, united in their…
You know, when I was given the chance to review these Tales from the Dark Multiverse stories, I was ecstatic at the opportunity to handle “What If?” tales from some of my favourite properties. Knightfall, The Death of Superman, Blackest Night, Infinite Crisis and The Judas Contract – all iconic tales worthy of darker…
Part of the charm of any horror anthology is having no idea whether or not the next short story will be a dud or a winner. From classics like Creepshow (both the movie and comic) to DC’s own yearly horror anthologies, there’s always fun to be had in not knowing what could happen next in…
Mezco's One:12 Collective has quickly become one of my favorite toy lines on the market. Unlike most of the merch I review here at Batman News, I buy these figures myself, and I'm happy to do it, because they're amazing. I took a chance on a few last year, and fell in love when my first…
Arrow's days are numbered. With just 10 episodes left, the series that kicked off what we now call the Arrowverse is coming to a close. But these DC superhero shows are big business for the CW. Batwoman is starting this fall after a splash intro during last year's Elseworlds crossover. With Arrow on the way…
Green Lantern and Green Arrow used to be one of the biggest partnerships in the DC universe. It's been a while since you've seen them together, but thanks to new statues from Iron Studios you'll be able to enjoy them any time you want. The statues are up for preorder now and are expected to…
On February 8, 1914, 102 years ago today, Bill Finger was born. The unsung hero of Batman's creation, Finger went almost completely unrecognized for his contributions to the character until well after his untimely death in 1974. In fact, his first official credit on a Batman comic wouldn't come until 2014's Detective Comics #27, and…
