  • Batman and Robin #13 Review

    Joshua Williamson ends his run on Batman & Robin with this issue, and it also concludes the Dinosaur Island arc. When we left the story last month, Damian Wayne had just bested Bane in a fight and decided to spare his foe’s life. But Bane’s daughter, Vengeance, had the last laugh and injected Damian with…

    DC Comics has been very busy at this week's MegaCon with all of their announcements of upcoming projects.

  • Robin #17 review

    After only 17 issues Joshua Williamson’s Robin comes to an end this month. And I have some thoughts on the ending, so let’s get right in.  To start with, this does not feel like the end of a series. None of the last couple issues leading up to it have had that feeling, and honestly…


  • Robin #16 review

    After Shadow War and the last issue brought Damian back together with both his parents, he’s pushing forward into his own path in life choosing to step away from both of them. Returning to Lazarus Island he has a plan for his own future, and that of the friends he’s made along the way. But…


  • Shadow War Omega #1 review

    Shadow War Omega #1 brings the Shadow War crossover event to a surprisingly shocking close. After a decent reveal of the big bad, the final issue allows room for a villain monologue, final battle, and subsequent consequences. While I’m sure no one saw the identity of the fake Deathstroke coming, I admit the signs were…


  • Robin #14 review

    Shadow War is well on its way to wrapping up, and Robin is a major factor in that. This issue continues the event directly after Deathstroke Inc #9 and if you haven’t read that yet, go check it out then come back here. I wish I could say this book feels like more of a…

  • Shadow War Zone #1 review

    The longer the Shadow War event continues, the less it seems like a war and the more it resembles a hunt. Shadow War centers on the death of a major Batman villain and the subsequent clash between the League of Shadows and the Secret Society of Supervillains. The four stories of the Shadow War Zone…


  • Robin #13 review

    After reuniting with Talia in the last issue Robin dives straight into Shadow War this month. Damian continues his search for Deathstroke, answers as to why Ra’s was killed, and learns more than he expected to. I’ll be honest, I found this issue a little hard to review since it’s less an issue of Robin…


  • Robin #12 review

    Now that the tournament is over and its instigators have been wrangled it’s time for Damian to return home. But just what kind of a Gotham is he returning to, and does he really even have a reason to stay there? I’m still enjoying this series quite a bit, and a big part of that…


  • Robin #11 review

    With the Lazarus Tournament over, and Mother Soul outmatched there isn't much left to do but wrap up the loose threads hanging around Robin and the rest of the tournament fighters. And what better way to do that than with a family reunion and party? Robin is one of those books that I love to…

    Last Friday I was lucky enough to get to sit down as the representative for Batman News at a roundtable interview with Joshua Williamson regarding his upcoming work on Batman, specifically regarding issue #118. As many of you who read my Robin reviews know, I’m a big fan of what he’s been doing there and…
