8 on The Power Company Recharged #1 reviewThe Power Company: Recharged #1 spins directly out of the DC Power: Rise of the Power Company #1 anthology. Primarily focusing on the consequences of Amanda Waller's actions in the Absolute Power event, this story hinges on an outbreak of xenophobia in Atlanta. Luckily, there is a Batman on the case! Well, John Ridley's Batman.…
DC Power returns to celebrate yet another compilation of black led stories. Last year, creatives like Brandon Thomas, Khary Randolph, and N.K Jimisin brought their unique voices to the underrepresented pantheon of black characters. Directly following Absolute Power, this year's edition sets up the return of The Power Company. Outside of functioning as a backdoor…
Sorry, I will be your substitute reviewer until Nic returns! DC Comics expects readers to regard Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths as a significant story. It certainly has all the trappings of a major crisis event. Its pages tout large scale battles with heroes, villains, impossible machines, and other multiversal shenanigans. Even so, why does…
Empire State of Mind (More like Empire State of Mild, heyo!) reaches its conclusion - and I'm as thoroughly whelmed as ever! Not much else to say, so let's just get into it. With Manray slaughtering his way across the elites of New York City, the mayor is the next on his hitlist. It's up…
You know, it's funny. I've spent so much time discussing Dark Crisis in my reviews leading up to it... that by the time the event has actually arrived, I feel like I have nothing more to say. I think the book's content - or lack thereof - speaks for itself. Dark Crisis #1 sets the stage…
"Sometimes, less is more." That's the phrase that kept repeating in my head as I read I Am Batman #9 - and indeed, issues #7 and #8. While I went into this new arc with excitement, all three of these issues have brought the same problem with them that the book had before: try as I…
Okay, now this is more like it! I'm going to try and make this review as snappy and to-the-point as possible. In short, while I had my doubts about Jace Fox's move to New York, this is a very good first issue in his new arc: and sets the stage for what could be Jace's first…
"Represent. Always represent." These are the words that conclude I Am Batman #5, and they feel almost cathartic. Not only is it the final line in a genuinely good scene - one that actually does feel earned, to boot - but it also feels like a turning point. With these words, we're finally given a real direction…
I am Batman #4 is a comic dedicated to cleaning up plot threads and establishing a new status quo that doesn’t seem too different than what just came before. The Magistrate is in shambles, Simon Saint is behind bars, and characters spend a lot of time discussing what just happened as opposed to what happens…
This week, we'll be uploading two reviews for the latest issues of I Am Batman: a catch-up for last month's issue #2, and one for this month's issue #3. Both will cover different scenes, praises and critiques, but you'll find that each of them have a similar score. Let's get a positive out of the…
This week, we'll be uploading two reviews for the latest issues of I Am Batman: a catch-up for last month's issue #2, and one for this month's issue #3. Both will cover different scenes, praises and critiques, but you'll find that each of them have a similar score. Before I continue, I'd like to quickly…
NOTE: Read Batman: Fear State Alpha #1 before reading this issue. Alright everyone, take three! Time for the third - yes, third - new John Ridley Batman book, starring the exact same character you've seen in the first two. With the first series taking place in the future and the second being digital-first, this will be…
Before I start this review, I think it's important to read my recently uploaded review for The Next Batman: Second Son. Make no mistake, I Am Batman #0 is not the start to a new series, but the end of a previous one - and while I liked Second Son, it's a little frustrating that the creative…
At the beginning of 2021, Future State was released into the world - and whether you like it or not, it's been one of the driving forces of momentum for DC's universe as of late. Personally, I've found it kind of interesting! Seeing where places such as Gotham City are in the near future is…
After a promising second issue, Future State: Gotham returns for its third foray into the dark future of, well, Gotham. Previously, Peacekeeper Red and the Next Batman had been caught in the middle of a mass breakout at Blackgate Penitentiary. Will this unlikely duo survive the night, or do the inmates of Blackgate have more…
Before we start anything, I want to clarify and apologize for some things in my review of this series' last issue. In said review, I realize now that I made it seem like this book having black and white art negatively impacted my score of the issue. I'm sorry for that. It's not true, and,…
I’ve been known to piss my friends off from time to time by the way that I tell them about myself. It’s not intentional, mind you! I don’t make a point to gather people around a campfire, wistfully boasting of my accomplishments as if I didn’t peak in high school five years ago. The problem…
At this point, everyone and their mother has a different opinion on Future State – and while I still ultimately like the change of pace, I can’t deny the validity to a lot of people’s complaints. There are a few standouts throughout each time period the event is trying to portray, but the way they…
Spoiler alert: I thought this comic was alright! Normally I tend to give my final thoughts at the end of the issue, but I think it’s important to preface this review with my ultimate opinion. In my review for The Next Batman #1, I praised the comic for its wonderful artwork, smattered across a selection…
Thanks to my job, I don’t really have the need to buy physical DC comics anymore. Week to week, everyone at Batman News is given access to the latest the company has to offer, which is an insane privilege which I feel grateful for every time I boot up my computer. It gives me the…
