4 on Dark Knights of Steel #1 reviewWhen I saw the original announcement for Dark Knights of Steel I was incredibly excited. I mean DC comics meets Dungeons and Dragons? Batman as a literal knight? Those teaser pages with his Robins? The variant cover by Yasmine Putri featuring Clark and a D&D style character sheet? Also just Yasmine Putri on art? Written…
Ah, Injustice. Will you never cease to haunt me? I absolutely LOVED this game back in 2013. I mean, a fighting game where I can play as Green Lantern, Superman, and all my other DC favorites that WASN'T Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe?!?!? Absolutely insane. I still remember getting home from the summer camp where I had read…
Happy Halloween, guys! I figured I'd take a little more time to sit on this review and upload it at an appropriate moment - especially considering its release was only a few days away from this very special occasion. What are you guys doing for your spooky celebrations? While you think about that, I'd like…
The Lazarus tournament is in full swing as is Damian’s investigation into the secrets behind the island and Mother Soul. With the tension high, and mysteries piling higher, will we get some answers this issue? And how will Damian fair in this leg of the tournament? You know those books you read that make you…
After being blinded by some extremely charming Green Arrow/Question content last issue, I realized this time around that I forgot to ask one very important question: No really, who is Daemon Rose? We didn't see anything about that last issue. Like, seriously, the name Daemon Rose is absent for the entire thing. Not one mention. I…
Almost all of my fears have been assuaged. Where Checkmate #1 was a bloated, oddly paced mess of setup and thread-hanging, the sophomore issue of this miniseries is nothing but pure character driven fun. I was absolutely worried that Bendis was going to take this new mini and use it as an outlet for more Event…
I hope you're sitting, because... it's here. We're finally getting a highly detailed, premium quality statue of Batman and Robin. Yes, Batman AND Robin. No, it's not Carrie Kelly. It's really Batman and Dick Grayson together again, and it's amazing! In fact, I briefly considered titling this review "It's about damn time." Review Based on…
Long ago – when the pyramids were still young – Egyptian kings played a game of great and terrible power. But these Shadow Games erupted into a war which threatened to destroy the entire— Oh, sorry. I accidentally started reciting the opening to the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime. What was I saying? Ah, yes. Long ago –…
With most of the statues we look at, the characters are captured moments before or after doing something. Catching a character in action is complicated. To show them fighting requires a second character. Capturing Batman in the Batcave or the Batmobile would require some pretty substantial accessories. That quickly pushes these toys from being affordable…
Ever since Damian quit being Robin, I’ve been on the edge of my seat wondering what DC’s plans for his future are, and at last we’re getting some answers. It turns out he's still Robin after all! Starting April this year, Damian will feature in a new solo series titled Robin written by Joshua Williamson…
It’s 12am, October 21st, and a man with more hair than dignity sits at his desk, typing away at his Justice League review. He’s listening to a Spotify playlist, though he doesn’t recognize any of the songs. There’s a peace to his routine – a happiness and contentment to reviewing comic books he enjoys, nestled…
Welcome back to the Batman News Quarantine Book Club, everyone! We’ve got a unique story today in the form of Batman Chronicles: The Gauntlet, written by Bruce Canwell and pencilled by Lee Weeks, with colours from Matt Hollingsworth. This story is a one-shot issue that features Dick Grayson as Robin, the day before he’s given…
I am not doing great. Last year, I had little going on in my life, and it was an endless source of frustration for someone just coming out of high school, and looking for direction. When I got this job, that was the first step to finding a routine I felt was both satisfying and…
Ah, dang it. I’ll cut right to the chase: I wasn’t a fan of this issue. It’s disappointing, because every other issue of this anthology series has been solid so far; I’ve had my complaints, sure, but the concept of the series has been fun and the delivery has ranged from good to great. In…
I honestly think Neal Adams has created the perfect comic book. Oh, you think I’m joking? You think I’m trying to trick you into reading this so I can have some company in the psych ward? Not so. This book is – not exaggerating – my favourite of all the books I’ve had to…
I used to hate puns. In my book, they were one of the lowest forms of comedy, lacking the elegance of a literary reference or the simple poetry of a well-timed fart joke. More often than not they were cringe-inducing, a statement designed for the reaction rather than the joke itself. But then I became…
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…
Teen Titans Go! Digital-Issue #27: "Upgrade, Downgrade" Written by Ivan Cohen Illustrated by Marcelo Di Chiara Colored by Franco Riesco Lettered by Wes Abbott The Titans are back, and what better way to spend some time with them than watching Beast Boy play a video game and/or watching Cyborg install a new antivirus program?! …
Fifty years ago, on a cool (presumably), sunny (in places) day like today, Batman premiered on television screens across the nation. The series, with its bright Pop Art colors and tongue-in-cheek humor, rescued Batman from no uncertain obscurity and shaped the public's perception of the character for years to come. And rescue from obscurity it did, as…
Grayson #15: “Robin War Part 2: The Originals” Written by Tom King and Tim Seeley Illustrated by Mikel Janín Colored by Jeromy Cox Lettered by Carlos M. Mangual I am Robin. You are Robin. We... are Robin. Jeez, Damian. Way to be a buzzkill... Thanks, Dick. You always know what to say. ...... That…
