3 on Detective Comics #1099 reviewDetective Comics #1099 begins with a hail of bullets as Batman attempts to escape a small army! After hiring detective Harvey Bullock to investigate the Elixir organization, Batman turns to rescue him and the Penguin from a Pokolistan facility. As is the case with such things, it devolves into a vicious shootout. Unfortunately, bullets may…
I’m not a crook. I’ve never committed a crime worthy of a story. But I am from New Jersey. And when you’re born and raised in New Jersey, you come to learn a couple of things about how a great crime story should go. As I’ve mentioned in previous reviews of…
This month’s Penguin issue is a tale of two beatdowns. Luckily, the far more satisfying of the two beatdowns is the one we close things out with here in issue #11. I for one wish somebody would ask Tom King to get to the point. Tom King and Rafael De LaTorre’s twelve-issue Penguin' series has…
Since last we checked in with the talented Mr. Cobblepot, DC announced that Tom King’s “Penguin” series will come to an end after 12 issues. This doesn’t exactly come as any surprise. Given that the very first issue teases the end of the narrative, giving the book a “let’s look back and see how we…
Say what you will about Tom King, but he does know how to have a good time on a comics page. Even when the reader is not necessarily having a great time. One of King’s signature stylistic choices is the interplay of dialogue and text boxes. He can match their rhythms and themes in order…
While we still have a few years to wait for the next Batman movie, the MAX original series The Penguin will hold us over until then, and the first teaser for the project was just released. Oscar-nominee Colin Farrell reprises his role as Oswald Cobblepot, the titular Penguin and a scene-stealing favorite from Matt Reeves’…
Little known fact about me: The Penguin is one of my favourite Batman villains! I don't talk about it much, because I haven't really had much of a chance to review comics with him. He's second to Joker, if only because I'm a basic bitch - but there's a lot to love about this guy.…
Urban Legends is consistently one of the best books I have the pleasure of reviewing. Especially with the last few, we've been given nothing but banger after banger stories, and there's ZERO signs of slowing down here. In fact, I'm so excited about these, I can't think of a proper intro. Let's jump in. Castle Arkham: On…
To be honest, I've kind of been struggling to figure out how to properly introduce this thing. Lee Bermejo is one of my favorite Batman artists, and certainly one of the most prolific ever to touch the character. As such, a book that serves as a showcase for his work is a surefire hit. Every…
You guys ever just read an issue of a comic and remember why you started reading that book in the first place? That was me with Urban Legends #17. This book is nothing but pure, wacky team-up fun, and I LOVE it. It might be because I've been watching a lot of Brave and the Bold recently, but I…
