We've made it to the end! Like any uncomfortably long and rough road trip, all I want to do is get out and kiss the ground. Before Tom Taylor's Beast World ends, the heroes must figure out how to stop Dr. Hate and Amanda Waller's plans. Show Your Work I don't know when or how,…
As usual, DC promises that every event will be "a game changer," and that the universe "won't be the same." To this end, Beast World features violent mass murder and trauma throughout that world. Most importantly, our optimistic changeling, Beast Boy, is now dead. Before the DC Universe can mourn the lost hero, they must…
Every year the Eisner Awards celebrate outstanding achievement in comics. Named in honor of legendary creator Will Eisner in 1988, they include awards for categories such as Best Short Story, Best Writer, and Best New Series. Last year, Nightwing led all other titles with a whopping five nominations. This year, it's tied with a number…
Okay. I'm gonna be honest. I already had thoughts about this back when it was announced. Mostly thoughts of "oh god no", "boy they sure want to milk The Killing Joke for all it's worth, huh?", and "oh god please no why are you making The Riddler kill people why oh god oh god." The Riddler is…
This month, Tom King’s latest mini-series wraps up with issue #6 of Batman: Killing Time. With last month’s reveal of Clock King stepping in to claim the eye everyone has spent the past five issues trying to claim, just what answers will he have for us now? This month it’s just me reviewing the title,…
To most comic readers, "Gotham City" is synonymous with crime, dark alleys, and almost getting destroyed every other month. After all, what would be the point of Batman's war on crime if there were no criminals to strike fear into the hearts of? However, Gotham wasn't always like that. On October 4, writer Tom King…

This August, Eisner-winning duo of writer Tom King and artist Mitch Gerads will be teaming up once again for Batman - One Bad Day: The Riddler…
Five issues in and I know Killing Time is going to be a book I’ll genuinely enjoy re-reading once it’s complete. As much as I go back and forth on the little things that aren’t perfect about this series, I have to admit that I like it. I like it quite a bit. This issue…

We are officially at the halfway point in Tom King’s Killing Time. We’ve seen a theft, the start of an investigation, and our thieves waiting for their buyer, which means it’s now time for things to go very very wrong. There’s a lot I enjoyed about this issue of Killing Time. The story generally feels…
Questions are answered in Tom King and Clay Mann’s Batman/Catwoman #11, though many readers will find the resolutions to be lacking. King’s scripts have kept the reader at a distance in many ways. Between his non-linear narrative and the time skips between issues, it’s no surprise that when the pieces finally fall into place it…
I love heists, the Riddler, and a good old fashioned villain team up so of course I was going to at least check out Tom King’s newest mini-series, Killing Time. Focused on Batman’s early days, the story revolves around Riddler, Catwoman, and Penguin teaming up to participate in the heist of the century! And I…
Batman/Catwoman #10 puts its chips on the table as the story pivots from simmering tension to an all out brawl across all three of its storylines. Clay Mann’s return to art duties makes things more tactile than the past few issues, while Tom King’s script finally gets to let loose and shed much of the…
Batman/Catwoman Special #1 is a triumph as a one-shot examining Selina Kyle’s life through the various ways she’s spent Christmas. It’s also a touching tribute to the late, great John Paul Leon who draws half the story and has the entire second half of the issue serve as a tribute for him. Meanwhile, fans of…
Batman/Catwoman #9 is an intense read as Tom King’s script expertly bounces across three time periods, greatly aided by Liam Sharp’s increasingly surreal art. Each of the three storylines here are equally engaging, leading to one of the most gripping issues of the series so far. Last issue’s cliffhanger is immediately addressed as Joker betrays…
Batman/Catwoman #8 is a visual feast courtesy of Liam Sharp, who utilizes various styles to keep up with Tom King’s twisty script. The barriers between the various timelines blur more than ever before, but each individual scene is incredibly strong despite the bevy of themes and ideas King throws at the reader. You’re either on…
Batman/Catwoman #7 features a shake-up in both plot and artistic merits, providing a breath of fresh air to an already improving series. Liam Sharp takes over art duties for this issue, creating a wildly different atmosphere for the book even down to its more sensual romance scenes. And while the plot is still loosely sketched,…
